- Shawn HWashington DC, DC413 contributionsWonderful stop on a road trip for ice cream, snacks, and gifts. Didn't hang out much outside due to the weather - but the kids will enjoy the calves near the shop.Written December 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- joyrdchClimax, GA135 contributionsThey had amazing selection of food: Korean, Thai, pretzels, etc. We didn't have time to sample since we were on a schedule and didn't plan on staying much longer but will be back.Written October 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- geisnjOcean City, NJ79 contributionsMy wife and I recently completed most of the Heritage Trail and the Torrey Brown Trail over the weekend. We started in New Freedom both Saturday and Sunday. Rode north in Pa. 16/17 miles to Days Mill Road (Brillhart Station parking lot) and back on Saturday. Stopped at Hampton Junction both ways to use bathroom and refill water. The trail was in very good shape, and we used our trail bikes, not our hybrids. Packed and ate lunch along the way. Several small towns you pass through.
On Sunday, we went south from New Freedom across the Mason-Dixon line into Maryland. This trail is called the Torrey Brown trail or Gunpowder Fall State Park trail. Both trails are connected. Rode about 16 miles to Monkton, Md. where we used the bathroom and refilled water. Monkton is about 7 miles from the end in Ashland, Md. Turned around there and rode back to New Freedom. One tip. The ride south from New Freedom is on a downhill grade and very nice, but you pay for it coming back. The Maryland trail is more rural with a stream running alongside the bike trail most of the way. Trail was in good shape.Written August 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- res1967York, PA116 contributionsEasy to find, all seats are great, staff is friendly. Entertainment is fun as fans are engaged in the between inning happenings. Food is reasonable, great chicken fingers in the concourse. Price for admission is very inexpensive. PA guy is funny, ushers helpful, and a cannon is fired when the home team hits a homerun.
Overall a great value for 3 plus hours of entertainment.Written September 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Wish we had time to visit the fire and historical buildings as well as they are covered under one cost. Bot volunteers at the two museums were very friendly and helpful.Written October 10, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- teresa3000Pennsylvania2,783 contributionsNice state park. It was difficult to find the trail from the first parking lot off Mt Pisgah Rd. We drove to the rock field, parked there and found the trails.Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
