We visited the Intrepid Museum after being there about 8 or 10 years ago last time. The planes and the rest of the exhibits are getting beat up and not very well maintained. There are some new attractions that are fun, but the real exhibits are in sad shape. We visited on Sunday and although there are not seemingly lots of people, the lines to some of the views are pretty long. We spent about 20-25 minutes un line to get up to the ship’s bridge. The concord exhibit looks like hurricane went through it. The line to the submarine was so long that we decided not to wait and just skip it. If you plan to attend some attractions like the rides, buy tickets online as they are cheaper there. The parking in NY just suck. The museum does not have its own parking anymore and half of parking indicated by google maps are not public despite being marked as such. The kids liked it and its the only reason for 4 stars. Otherwise its 3.

We went here for mountain biking and did not stay at the hotel.

The trails were OK and did not seem like they were groomed any time recent. However they were still OK to ride and decent. Some of the trails were completely closed. We still had lots of fun and enjoyed our time though.

One of the big negatives that surprised me was the parking lot. It is an adventure on its own. Haven’t seen such a horrible parking in a while. Luckily we were on my friend’s truck, but while unloading/loading our bikes we saw several cars bottoming out, scraping the bottoms and almost ripping out their bumpers. Even smaller SUVs had problems navigating that horror of a parking.

I would have given this place 4 stars if not for the parking. Not sure if I’ll be taking my car on that parking since I don’t own a truck.
