We pretty much have the place to ourselves, save for a few locals at the bar. And then other started trickling in once we began to eat. Very welcoming place, seems like everyone knows your name. The meet is very good, make sure to slather on some of that house barbecue sauce! Little bit pricey but I love a place that serves my drink in a mason jar.
Definitely worth a visit while you're in Salem Massachusetts. The map that guy due to the different gravestones is a bit hard to follow, I've put the photo up above. It blew my mind to find a pilgrim from the Mayflower! Very cool place to walk through and if you have a smart phone and access to the Internet, you don't need a guide to take you through!
Visited on this past Labor Day. What an amazing experience?! I've never set foot in a Hindu temple much less even seen one. However, this was a wonderful experience. The grounds are very serene and quiet, a great place to just take in nature. You don't have to know who Krishna is to take a tour, they're actually very welcoming. We were the only ones on our tour not in saris. But I thought enlighten still. It doesn't cost anything just to walk the grounds, but if you want to see inside the temple it will take you about 20 minutes and cost you eight dollars. They also sell candles and posters that are available in the temple as a fundraiser. I really liked the gift shop and walked away with a little elephant. The Rosegarden is a little sparse because they are transitioning to organics but it was still a beautiful place. I really liked seeing the animals and how well they were taken care of. Even on a holiday they were quite a few people there. The road is Windee to get there however you're driving in West Virginia so we didn't really expect less. It is a bit far out there and when you look off the road you can see down into the valley which can be a little intimidating. There is also the state pen, a toy museum, and a paranormal archives nearby. So we plan to head back and visit again plus the other great spots. Apparently there is also a restaurant on site, but we never found it. I would pack a cooler next time. There is a water fountain near the bathroom so if you have a water bottle it's easy to refill there. The palace is it made of solid gold it's goldleaf so you will see where it is wearing down but I think that adds to the character of the place. Go early in the morning if you want to get a better look at the cows and even milk them yourself. Really great place for people of any age.
Nice zoo. I like going when it rains. Less people and some of the animals enjoy the rain. There are really great vantage points for photos in the giraffe and gorilla areas. Staff were super friendly and welcoming too.
Good food with big portions. If you are coming into town for a Steelers game, stopping at the Bettis is pretty much a must.
This is a must see. My favorite time to visit is the dead of winter. They have a winter light show inside and out. They even stay open late to get the full effect. It's absolutely stunning. Plan to spend at least 2 hours to see everything. Longer to truly appreciate everything.
Good if you go for a special event like ComiCon or Halloween. Other than that not worth a stop. However you could make a whole road trip of zombie things in the area. Stop here, the graveyard from the movie & the zombie store down in lawrenceville. Come in October and hit riverside for monster Rama and then a day of zombie sight seeing if you're hardcore like me ;)
Worth a stop. This is the best view in Pittsburgh.
The best stop on our Philly road trip! Check hotels and rest stops for a $2 off coupon or show a student ID for a steeper discount. We did the main audio tour first and then wandered the rest of the grounds for another hour or two. Such a neat and historical place with lots of fantastic photo ops. The artist installations were really neat and thought provoking. If you have children, be careful of a few of the off the main tour exhibits ;)
