The PoconosBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Great Golf for Grandpa Woodhall--even a quick lesson or two at Shawnee on the Delaware. They also had a golf expo of trick shots.

Chistopher (4) and Brandon (8) enjoyed learning about candle-making at the Pocono candle factory. We all enjoyed the great gift shops. Took one day at Dorney Park, it was a great success. Everyone enjoyed a long day there. Spent one morning at the Crayola factory. The kids enjoyed that.

Quick Tips:

Played bingo for prizes:
Kids prizes -- pass to pool, Miniture golf, kids activities at resort, small gifts
Adult prizes -- pass to jacuzzi, small gifts, adult activities, baby-sitting services.

Best Way To Get Around:

Best way to get around was two cars. Men played golf in the morning while women kept kids busy at children's activities.

Dorney ParkBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Two parks in one. One has regular rides, the other is a waterpark. The place is great for all ages. We had a long day there. Meals were expensive. Height-requirements were in effect for small children so check the site for height limits if you're concerned about your kids getting on all the rides.
