Great spot for kids! Take a walk through the forest canopy and experience the forest like the birds! Fun nature experiences along with daily programs with birds of prey, and reptiles. A fun and interesting place that introduces people of all ages to the living creatures around us. Some of the proceeds are used to help with animal rehabilitation and rescue operations, as well as educational sessions for kids.

Very family friendly! Some of the best wings you'll ever eat! Also make fantastic NY style pizza's (Chicken, bacon ranch is our favorite!), garlic knots and subs. Terrific beer selection, including beer straight from Long Trail right up the street. For the kids, there are video games, a full size air-hockey table and a pool table with lots of TV's and great music. Picnic style tables and regular chairs if you'd prefer.

Traveler advice

Getting around

Mind the clock!

Downtown Ludlow gets VERY busy when the mountain closes around 4:30, so if you need to be downtown, plan for some congestion! Exiting the driveway to the left and taking Kingdom Road down to the Echo Lake in where you take a left on Rt. 100 will bring you out by the Jackson Gore entrance to Okemo. This will completely avoid the center of Ludlow during peak traffic times!
