From the get go the staff was friendly and helpful. I came with 3 teenage girls for my daughter's birthday and they all had fun. Can you say miracle?!? The indoor pool wasn't available for use, but they had plenty of other things to occupy them. We appreciated the restaurant recommendation, which all the girls loved as well. I've already told my husband we will definitely have to go back as a family trip.

A special place for my family to visit. The kids love all the activities. The supervisor, Kira, really enjoys her job and it shows in her interactions with the kids. The Manager, Amber, wanted feedback on our stay. I liked the fact that she asked. The customer service, attention to details, activities for the kiddos and serenity that we feel while we are here is what keeps us coming back. A shout out to Kira, Amber and the rest of the staff! Keep up the great work!

My family and I had been anticipating this mini get away trip for months. The trip was long and we were worn out upon our arrival. We were immediately greeted by the Assistant General Manager, Amber. She had everything prepared for us so the check in process was quick. My 2 year old was having a melt down, too. Amber was able to calm her down and let her pick a toy from a basket. Her kindness was the perfect beginning to our stay here. I was appreciative of how she made it feel like home. The cabin was spacious, the activities for the kids were excellent, and the overall experience was even better than we had imagined. Thank you for helping our family create memories that will last a lifetime! We will be back next year!

This place was so amazing! I've never been before so I was a little worried it was going to look run down or something, but it was the greatest experience ever. Me and my family are definitely coming back every year. We got some spooky tie dye shirts we got to make, a magic pumpkin experience, free crafts, and my son won 2nd place in the costume contest for his age group. He was so happy and it was his birthday weekend. We got to do trick or treating and I couldn't believe that people actually did go all out! The Yogi Bear gift shop was so cool and I wanted to buy everything! A little pricey but that's expected. They had a cute 'Pic a Nic' restaurant too which was perfect for breakfast and lunch. Definitely coming back and I already told my co-workers all about it.

We had a great time for the most part park was quiet, I only wished they would of handed out something on days/hours the extra activities were open. Our kids missed thing's as we found out later lazer tag was only open on weekends and the outdoor water slide area closed at 2pm on Sunday. We know we went in the off peak month's but some activities would still of been nice to attend even if was just a few hours after arriving. No food or dessert was open and available while we were there. We did a Sun-Thur trip.
