    This is a place that is MADE for children especially the water park. One of the first things you'll…read moresee when entering the water park section is that the women have nice and beautiful tiki like hutts to change while the men have to change in a cold and wet bathroom which atleast for me was a little hard to find with unclear directions. I found it pretty much extremely boring inside the water park as there was nothing to do if you're not a kid besides the lazy river which is always packed to the brim. When i was in the lazy river i remember seeing a CRAZY amount of mold behind the seats like i was genuinely surprised especially as it was a saturday and saturdays are always packed so you wouldn't of thought to clean the seats? I also thought the way you leave was pretty confusing at first but it's clearly marketed for you to buy something before leaving. and also all of the employees looked overworked and tired even when it was within the first hour of opening. Overall it's a nice park but if you're a parent coming with sons or daughters who are above the age of 10 maybe find alternatives like, GWL or kahalhari which are for all ages and less than a hour west. overall 2.5/5

    Knowing very little about LOMB, I was very impressed with the layout of the park and diverse…read moreexperiences on land and water. The park was very clean and the staff was willing to assist when needed. Sure, there are small things I would change like letting people get on the ferris wheel as others get off to speed up the waiting process but my daughter and family had a great day in Hope. Could there be a better name for the town?

    We were looking online at 'activity' farms (animal husbandry-horseback riding-bees, etc) in the…read morelocal area and came upon the Rose Bridge Farm. Rose Bridge is a sanctuary and working farm on land once owned by William Penn. Since 2013, the farm has become a 'forever home' for over 300 animals. Many of the animals are rescues from dairy farms, livestock auctions or other scenarios where they were at risk. They have several different activities, we opted for the Farm Fest, which combined several of the activities. The Farm Fest includes a mini farm animal husbandry tour, baby animal cuddling time, hands on craft activity, a beverage bar and an outdoor fire pit. It lasts about 2 hours. There were many parents there with children, but also adults like us by themselves. There are two times - 4-6 and 6:30-8:30. We went on the 4:00 tour. It was great! It was very interesting hearing how the animals came to the farm - it was so heartwarming to hear the stories of saving so many animals. However, I wasn't expecting the 'cuddling time' to be so much fun. We started with the goats - so friendly! They were nuzzling and 'pawing' us - I sat down and several came to me and wanted to be rubbed or held. I even had an opportunity to feed a baby goat its milk bottle! We interacted with pigs, sheep, a beautiful thoroughbred horse and a donkey! It was a very special experience! Afterwards we all went to a large barn and made crafts - specifically little planters we decorated, added dirt and seeds (large selection of flowers and vegetables seeds) to take home as a little souvenir. We had a dinner reservation so we left before the fire pit activity. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be with these farm animals and to support such a worthwhile project.

    We recently took a trip to Claws 'N' Paws and the kids had a great time. I think I'll just go…read morepros and cons for this review. Pros: Jethro the giraffe was so kind and gentle. He would randomly drop down to say hello and it made our hearts melt. When feeding time came around he was the main attraction. Seeing the kids interact with him paid for the price of admission. The kids loved the cockatoo's and any other bird that would talk. Watching my five year old try to have a convo with them made us laugh. They had a lot of gorgeous animals - lynx, cute prairie dogs, male and female African lions, jags, leopards, a tiger, bobcats, etc. The Eagle Owl they had was one of my favorites. What a beautiful animal. Stunning. They have an enclosed reptile area with over a half dozen snakes, lizards and a few spiders. The bathrooms were large and kept up with for the most part. The trails were easy to follow, so I'd imagine it's hard to get lost. The staff was nice, seemed passionate and caring for the animals. Cons: Only one bathroom near the front entrance. It's not a huge park, but it would be nice to have more options. Lack of flat pathways. After days of rain there were lots of puddles and running water because the park is not totally flat. Rocks and roots are exposed so be mindful if you're not steady on your feet. Some of the animals are hard to see because the protective plastic was fogged up. May have been the temp changes. Their food area could use a face lift. They offer food for eat in but we passed and found someplace outside the park. Their retail store had a lot of items (tons of stuffed animals) but we skipped this go around. We would return. The kids enjoyed the park. We spent about two hours there and felt it was worth the money. Remember this is a small zoo in the Poconos, not a large City zoo. Thanks guys!

    This is the best zoo ever. It is covered in woods and not all concrete. I.t is a great environment…read morefor the animals. A very good experience for the whole family.
