Very interesting information about mining. Our tour guide was great. The tour started earlier than we anticipated, so no wait. We enjoyed the tour and learning about things we didn't know. Well worth the low entrance fee!!!!

What a beautiful park, rising above Scranton in the foothills of the mountains. The view is excellent and all the amenities are great! I especially loved the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour that is located here. What a great place to spend the day.

Great place for picnics, play sports or anything with kids or adults. The playground is very included, for small and big children. You can take some awesome pictures here for wedding, birthdays and others. I recommend it

Definitely worth the $10 admission price for hour and some half long tour. Actually down in the mine several hundred sheet. If your claustrophobic or scare to tight places, take a pass or if you have problems walking, it's dark and wet and slippery. Otherwise,...Read More

The coal mine tour is the absolute best! If you want to learn about the dreaded work environment those poor miners had to go through, I highly suggest you take the tour.
Very nice restrooms inside the building where the gift shop is located

Must visit if you are around and interested in a little history tour..prices are not much and it's a knowledgeable experience. Do bring a medium jacket for comfortable trip...even if it's hot outside.

We really enjoyed this beautiful park. We went to an educational event, had a picnic at one of the pavilions, went on the coal mine ride, and went to the museum. It was a lovely day.
Two nice pavilions.

Went for the splash pad. The kiddo loved it. Spent a couple hours there and kept cool while my son wore off some energy and enjoyed himself. Life guards on duty to keep an eye out. I definitely recommend it on a hot day!
