    Catamount Aerial Adventure Park image
    I took three 14 year old girls to the zipline on a day off from school. They have lost so much this year with COVID. This seemed like a safe activity given that it was outdoors. The staff was great, everyone was wearing masks properly. Of course it is not possible to distance when they are hooking you up to the line. It was a chilly fall day, but the girls had a good time. I would recommend it! Looking forward to coming back maybe during the summer! See more..

    Cooperstown Fun Park image
    This is a continuation of the visit to Cooperstown with my 10 year old grandson. Needless to say we stopped at the not so fun park. For 25 dollars you get 5 choices of what you want to blow your tickets on. Basically it's 5 bucks per ride. Go for either the go carts or batting cages. Stay away from the bumper boats, I have had more excitement watching grass grow. Our visit was a Saturday in July at about 5 pm. The picture I included of the parking lot shows 5 cars........they are the employees cars. Notice there are NO other cars. Sail right by this place! See more..
