$15 for a half value trip. The natural trail is closed after 3:30 pm. But the clerk didn't speak that loudly when I bought the full price tickets.

Awesome place for a day trip with friends and family. A nice and easy walk to the falls with wheelchair access as well. There are hiking trails which you can do if you are in for more adventures. The hikes are easy as well as medium difficult.

Very cool place to visit. You start off in the gift shop which was pretty big and it had a cafe and restrooms. Once you pay, you cross a bridge outside and you can do a nature hike trail and walk the bridge walk around the waterfalls. I recommend doing both (both are included in the price of admission). I don’t recommend the bridge walk for anyone with a fear of heights, even though it’s not really high up there are times that feel it, especially on the bridges crossing over. There are a lot of areas that require you to go up and down multiple steps, some of which water does blow off the falls at you. But it’s well worth walking down them to see the falls and the areas the water has carved out. The nature walk is really nice and peaceful. Very quiet area and easy to navigate. There are areas that are pretty steep but I would still rate the overall hike as easy.

Visiting from Florida and absolutely loved the views. Very well kept and maintained. I was concerned about the price until I learned it was privately owned, so it’s a fair price given the upkeep costs. Loved it!

Had a nice time exploring the gorge and hiking their path. Beautiful views but for the price I would recommend driving another 35-40 minutes to Ausable Chasm if you had the time. But if not tho this is a smaller place still a nice place to visit.

A beautiful place for outdoor activities. Stunning scenery and unique views of the pothole cavities. It is early May, so there are very few people around, it's well-organized and the crews are taking care of the trails. Since it's not a very big park and they're charging $16 they have added additional "Nture trail" for some hiking, however there isn't much to see on that one... No smoking No pets(except certified service animals) And no drones - apparently the high wind created from the waterfall can take the drone off and destroy it.

A must see experience if you're in the area! Expect a ticket price ~$16 for one adult and the whole trail can be covered in less than an hour. The trail is considered easy with paved, dirt, and uneven footpaths (there are wheelchair accessible paths). Those afraid of heights may get a little uneasy at the lookout points over the water but it's nothing extreme. You'll get to experience beautiful falls and the rugged nature that the Adirondacks offer. Definitely an incredible sight to see. The parking lot can fill up fast so I would recommend either going early in the morning or later in the day before close.

The falls were very nice. The balconies / walkways give you close-up views of the falls. They give you YakTraks to walk in the winter, plus free marshmallows! Everyone was very friendly. The nature trail was closed due to lack of snow. We thought it was a little pricey for the 20-30 minute walk.

Stunning scenery in an easy to walk environment. The complementary crampons for our boots made the experience safer and offered peace of mind.

Beautiful winter hike to the falls. We also enjoyed the fireplace and hot chocolate indoors afterwards.

Nice trail. The longest train was ~1 mile including the fall and creekside. Parking has a limited spots, try to come early over the weekends or holidays. Also, I would recommend to download maps offline becuase of the low/no signals.

A very fun boardwalk path through the gorge with nice views of the waterfalls. Not as long as I thought it would be to explore but still fun to see!

The last tickets are sold at 4:30pm and you need to be out of the parking lot by 5pm. The tickets are $15 per person (kinda pricey for what its worth/the attraction), but definitely more suitable for families/younger children. My friends and I got here around 4:30, so we only had about 30 mins to explore. I believe one portion of it was closed due to the weather/mud. However, we made the most out of it while we were there, we did 2 laps trying to capture as many photos and just to soak in the waterfalls. Not a bad experience with the right company!

Beautiful rolling waterfalls. A must stop and see when passing through Wilmington, NY. You will walk along well structured walkways which overhang the rushing falls. The falls walk is about a 45min hike. We were unable to access the nature trail at the time of our visit. On the grounds there is a beautiful wedding venue that overlooks the babbling creek. Inside the shop you'll find a café for coffee and snacks, as well as a seating area with a fireplace. The shop is also accommodating with restrooms located downstairs.

It's a nice walk. The water was pretty and the area is clean. We only walked the gorge because it was really cold so next time we will do the nature trail.
