There is also a hall available for rent which seats about 50. The rental cost is lower for residents of Madison County. The entire park is designated as non-smoking. The distance from the main parking area to the falls is approximately 200 yards.

I'm sure the 'money shot' of the falls is at the bottom tho' ;) Looks like the facilities will be great when they are completed - Will have to make our way back to check it out!

I looked on yelp and called every number connected to a gym. The YMCA ended up being the perfect place after a few disappointing phone calls. Daytime passes were $30.00 some places. Since I'm not in town long enough for a membership I have to do whatever works at this point. I ended getting great news after i called the YMCA. Only $12.50 a day. and if you bring someone with you it'll be cheaper. State of the art equipment. Olympic size swimming pool. A sauna, free weights and benches too! They have different levels of the gym. It's awesome. This place does a lot for their community and they are most definitely all about the kids! I can't remember all of their names at the front desk. However they were all very nice ladies. Great customer service and they all made me feel at home! They even took me on a tour before my workout. Looking for a gym while your kid is at Allstar village? Or just in this area for whatever reason? The YMCA is the place! Thanks again for the hospitality!

Son's Review = 4 (The Ugly - the bathrooms by the end; the Bad - the food; the Good - everything…read moreelse. My Review = 4 - The Ugly: Exiting Dreams Park after the Opening Ceremony and skills competition. This is the one time where everybody is there at the same time, and all leaving basically at the same time. Dreams Park should either bring in off-duty officers for traffic control and/or open up service entrances to exit. - The Bad: Concession pricing. It is all overpriced ($3 for a banana), to expansive for how much you get, or just tastes bad. No Drinking Fountains. The dugouts have them but the water flow is so low you basically have to kiss the dispenser to drink the water. Also, there are no drinking fountains anywhere that I saw for spectators. - The Good: Everything else. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The fields are in great condition. Also, since you are basically enclosed in the field there are great echos--and when a kid hits a home run it sounds awesome. Most fields are surrounded by hill so you can watch them from the outfield if you don't want to stay in the parent "dugout". The cost of the team photo package (approx. $104/player on our team) was well worth it. The cost to engrave balls & bats was also fair. Overall the facility has a great nostalgia vibe. Sponsor signage is limited to one small outside sign per field. Coaching Tips - Home Runs: probably a combination of 200' fields, minimal pitchers mounds, and Dreams Park supplies their own balls, Home Runs are the norm. You need at least a 5 run lead to feel a little comfortable - Defense: You do not want runners on base. When a home run comes you want the damage to be limited to just one run and not 3. Encourage you players to chase foul balls; practice double plays and baseball IQ scenarios, have your outfield 5-10' off the back wall--if it goes over their heads it's either a home run or bouncing off the wall and coming back to them - Offense: If it is not a home run it's a single unless the hit hugs the foul line. For the most part passed balls and wild pitches bounce back to the catcher so it is very difficult to steal home w/ a runner on 3rd. Remind your big hitters not to be a hero, and swing like normal--the home run(s) will come. Your players that are almost there in getting a home run in regular little league or tournament play will most likely get home runs here. - Know the Cooperstown specific rules. Something weird happened w/ a catcher interference call and balk call at the same time which after a rules review overturned a run scored by the opposing team. On the flip side at a later game the opposing coach forgot a team is allowed one "mulligan" balk call per game and our runners advanced on a first balk call. Parent Tips - Have the parents doing the play book, GameChanger, and highlights sheet sit next to each other because they will need each other's help - We made a swag bag of a lot of the checklist item that a few of the parents who drove up brought with them (i.e. towels, bed sheets, pillow covers, deodorant, games, etc.) - One of the dads volunteered to be a dugout dad and he took care of getting the ice, laundry service, and misc. small things for the coaches so the coaches could focus on the kids. The dugout dad did not spend the night. - The larger restaurants in the area can handle a party of 50 or 70. We met together for lunch before registration in order to all come into together. - We setup a sign-up genie to volunteer supply water, sport drinks, etc. for the boys and coaches. There are two Wal-Marts nearby and I picked up my items on the way into town. - Bring water and food for yourself and family. Though you see many signs saying you cannot bring outside food & drink I never saw it enforced, and if they do you can leave it in the car and go there when you need it. - If you have no one that is experienced with the playbook, I would recommend some people practice it with a recorded game on GameChanger, or follow allow with a live game. - The Closing Ceremony is not from 6-9, but 6 to 6:40. You have time to go some place for dinner. - Remind your player to flush and lift the toilet seat up if all they're doing is peeing. My son's take-away for others is go to the bathrooms before 7am because you never know what you're going to get after. As for me, I used a single person bathroom after a player came out and the toilet wasn't flushed, there was pee all over the seat, and I had to clean it up.

It's not like they charge you 3 dollars for a banana or something which I really appreciated after spend thousands of dollars on this trip. Don't worry about the rain because they have great plans in place and delays and cancellations are basically non existent. Traffic is not an issue . After opening ceremony I just cruised out of the facility's which I loved , no waiting without moving a single inch for over an hour, just smooth sailing thanks to the helpful staff directing traffic . My son said the food they served him was like eating at a Gordan Ramsay restaurant. The eggs were not powdery or watery , they were fluffy and fresh made from cage free eggs. Which was cool considering how expensive this trip was . My son said he ample time to use the showers with no crowds and all the batting cages were utilized on a first come , first use system with no time limit for a team . But they had sooooo many cages that everyone got a turn! If you're nervous about coming here don't. Here at dreams park you and your 12u kid will be "living the dream"

We have revisited this rink after a very long interlude and WOW it's amazing!…read moreThe staff are patient, knowledgeable and keep an unintrusive eye on their clients. That being said they are not babysitters and children who are not able to skate independently and safely need to be supervised. The skates are good, but don't hesitate to make them aware if the laces need to be tweaked or replaced. There are very few things for minors to do in any direction and for very long distances, but even if there were more choices this destination should top your list. It's affordable, a healthy way to spend a few hours and fun memories to be made. They also do a wonderful birthday party during open hours or schedule a private time.

The staff were very knowledgeable and gave a ton of information not found on the signs. In addition, the wolves seem to be more comfortable when the staff are around, so they come near the edge of the enclosure more often. My favorite part of our visit was when one of the wolves started howling and then all of the others did too. It can't be put in to words how cool it was to here15+ wolves howling from different parts of the park. In addition to the wolves, there were other animals there too and they were equally cool. Another thing worth mentioning is their use of solar and other green tech to have a smaller footprint, a nice touch.

We arranged to camp at the Henderson Scout Reserve about 17 miles from the HOF in Maryland, New York. The fresh snow on the ground and subfreezing temperatures made for a perfect location for our experience. We were provided with a large heated cabin/mess hall, overlooking a pristine ice covered lake, with packed dirt roads and mountains to gambol. Beautiful spot. The local BSA organization does a great job maintaining the facilities and the natural surroundings. We cooked outside, but ate and slept in the warmth. (Why is our entire menu deep fried? Turkey, burgers, oreos...Boy, do we need a creative nutritionist.) The time spent in Cooperstown was very nice, and our primary purpose, but as with most things in life, the unintended consequence of coming for a visit, was the quality of the experience had at Henderson, and our bonding as a result. Bottom Line - Scouts come here from all over the East Coast for Cooperstown, but plainly leave knowing that Henderson was as important as visiting the Hall of Fame for what we attained through roughing it and working together. The ceiling is covered with wooden handmade plaques from each group visiting over the years. Great touch!
