We had such a wonderful experience at Kniess' mini golf course yesterday! Mary, the owner, was…read moreincredibly kind, and all of her employees were very accommodating and welcoming throughout our visit. You can really feel the friendly atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The golf course itself is beautiful, well-kept, and full of unique character. There is so much cool paraphernalia and fun trinkets all throughout the property that make it interesting even between holes. Every hole was set up so neatly, with creative layouts, multiple drops, and thoughtful details that kept it fun the entire way through. I especially loved that they had an easier course for younger kids, which made it perfect for our children, and we also noticed the moving/more challenging course, which looked like something my husband and I would love to come back and try on our own. The seating areas placed along the way made it feel relaxing and enjoyable, and there was so much to look at that the whole experience felt special. One helpful thing to know before you go: it is cash only, so make sure you come prepared. It was $25 for 2 adults and 2 kids under 6. Overall, such a fun family outing with a lot of charm -- we will absolutely be back!

So delightful and whimsical and fun. I went with a group of 4 and it was the perfect amount of…read morepeople. It's a bit older, but definitely not run down. I think they should offer more refreshment options because we were out there for like 2 hours in the sun.

It has an upper level with a bar and cornhole setup. The lower level has a stage, another bar, and lots of tables. You are right on the river so you can dock your boat or relax by the water. Drinks are cheap especially during happy hour. Service is prompt. I wish I could get draft beer out there, but it's okay.

I've been to Paradise Island many times, and it's always a great time. One of my favorite parts is…read morethe outdoor beach area--relaxing on the couches with a drink is the perfect vibe. Inside, there's plenty to do as well. The bowling and other indoor experiences make it fun no matter the weather. During the summer, the beach atmosphere really shines, and the live bands are the best--great music, great energy, and such a fun crowd. Paradise Island is an awesome spot whether you want to relax, be active, or just enjoy a summer night out. Always a go-to for me!

Super-popular pool in the South Hills, very close to downtown Pittsburgh. It's another of my…read morefavorites. Been going to this pool since I was in my late teens and often took my daughter to this pool when she was young. Living in the city it was nice to make a mini trek to the pool for something different. I've been known to swing by when home for visits as well. The pool is huge with lots of space to sprawl out and hang out on a towel or blanket when not in the water. Very well taken care of.

It wasn't nearly as crowded as I expected it to be-there was lots of space to spread out. I was also impressed with how clean everything was. The snack bar had lots of tasty and affordable options.

My tee time to play the back nine was at 6:40am, and I finished around 8:20am. My round was $18.00 including the cart. Every employee I talked to was kind and made sure I enjoyed myself. The course and cart path are both well taken care of. I can not wait to come back and play the front nine!

As a Yelp Elite All Star I noticed that the most current YELP review for this pool was a one star review based solely on what this person thought the price should be for entry for her & her kids & her comparison to North Park Pool. First off Cranberry Township Waterpark, offers more than just a pool. It has a very large kids area with large kiddie pool, water dump bucket, splash pad & preschool water sliding board. It has a dedicated lap swim lane at all times. It has a waterside, low diving board, water tunnel sliding board, water climbing wall, sand volleyball court, grassy play areas, concession stand with large variety of foods, drinks & desserts & bathrooms with showers & changing rooms. There are giant umbrellas for shade, and many lounge & some Adirondack chairs. You can get water wings, or life vests for your kids there if needed. This is not a county pool like North Park Pool. NPP is run by the county. Cranberry is run by the township (not Butler County) & managed & staffed by high school kids. YES, the prices ARE higher than Allegheny County & City pools: 2025 Daily Admission Rates Residents: $11 Non-Resident: $16 Children: 2 - 12 years old Resident:$10 Non-Resident: $14 Children under 2: FREE 55+ Senior Resident: $10 Non-Resident: $14 Twilight Rates (after 6 p.m.) Resident: $8 Non-Resident: $10 Tuesday Night Swims: 9-11 p.m. Members: FREE Non-Members: $8 But that gives ZERO reason to diss this beautiful waterpark & all it has to offer. I highly recommend our pool & have taken out of town guests here with young kids several times in the past 20 years & they all loved it.
