This is a great place to check out. The food is good, the staff were friendly, the vibe is fun. There were many beers on tap, several TVs at the bar to watch whatever sports event is on, a decent food selection, and plenty of seating. The Pittsburgh salad is soo good. And the grilled cheese with beef is excellent. It came with homemade tomato soup and chips. Delish!! This place is worth checking out for sure.

There are several fun things to do at Camelback Mountain Adventures! We went on the mountain coaster and did the zip flyer. We went on a Monday so a few of the different activities weren't available, which was a bummer. The mountain coaster was so fun, but we wished it was a little longer or that you could ride more than once. The zip flyer was fun. You take a bus ride up the mountain then zip down 4000'. You're in a sitting position and kind of glide down more than fly. They take safety seriously and check you several times, which is reassuring. It was quite expensive and not something I'd necessarily pay for again, although it was neat. The view is incredible! All the staff were very kind as well. Make sure you make your reservations ahead of time online. When you get there, you scan the barcode in your email on a machine and get a little cardboard voucher. It's super easy to check in. I would for sure go back. It's a fun place to go with kids.

This place is a must visit if you're even remotely close! We started in Bangkok and drove 3 hours there just to check it out. The elephant Haven takes very good care of their elephants. You cannot ride the elephants. They have many acres of jungle to rome as they please. They're right on the river so the elephants get to play in the water frequently. We got to prepare rice balls to and cut up watermelon to feed the elephants. Then the staff let the elephants walk through the jungle at their pace and you follow along. It's so neat to see them in their element. You can join them in giving a mud bath or swimming in the river. All the elephants we saw were well taken care of.
