Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas are a must-see attraction that really shows off the city's love for big and exciting things. It doesn't matter if you're visiting for the first time or you know Vegas like the back of your hand – watching the Fountains of Bellagio is like stepping into a world where art, cool technology, and nature come together.

    Starting at either end, we started at Hudson Wharf and wales the entire length covering the historic rail system.

    Very inventive sculptures and interesting views of New York as well as the opportunity to take a wellness break from the hustle of the New York streets.

    My wife and I are in town from SC. We love to zipline and love to see Christmas light displays. So, I was excited to see we could do both at Mega Cavern. We really enjoyed both. Skeeter took us for basically a private tour of the Christmas lights as we were the only two on our time slot. It was a really good light display. It's probably the best Christmas light show we have ever seen. Skeeter did a great job driving at a good rate of speed and the ride was pretty smooth. It was nice to ride and not have to focus on driving. Our zipline tour was really exhilarating and unique. Our guides, Jordan and Mady, did a really good job. I would recommend Mega Cavern.

    Iconic. Necessary to see. Best seen from the water whether a ferry amor cruise ship. Too hard to see well from land in my opinion.

    We have been here before but on Veteran's Day we attended a great ceremony onboard. Everyone was so nice and I appreciated that on Veteran's Day, veterans are admitted for free and treated so nice. Highly recommend and bring kids to see the massive ship and learn its history.

    It is quite a beautiful zoo to start with. They care about the "look and feel" of their zoo.

    I did the bus tour, and the gondola, both included in your ticket purchase. Pretty interesting to get good overall view of what's at the zoo.

    Did a lot of walking to see various areas of the zoo, and getting around on the paths was straightforward. The have an elevator to bring you back up after the trail brings you down a pth if you don't want to walk up hill much. Friendly for seniors and handicapped pretty much all over the zoo.

    The exhibits were all very positive for the animals to keep things as they would like in natural habitat.

    Now for a few not so positive things.

    Too commercial for a non profit. Stores everywhere selling things that were way overpriced. That is for merchandise and food.

    $10 for a soft drink (with $2 refills) or $14.50 for medium sized collectible plastic cup with free refills.

    The good thing is you can bring your own food and drink into the zoo and save money if you can plan that far ahead and don't care if things are warm.

    I enjoyed my visit but I really only stayed maybe three and a half hours as I was getting hungry and I didn't want to pay them what they wanted for their food.

    Our last day of the conference was only a partial day, so decided to take in some of Universal Studios. Enjoyed some butter beer, a little sweet for me, had some bangers at The Leak Cauldron, and went on Hagrid's Motorcycle ride. Loved every moment of the shops and park! Total Harry Potter Geek Here!

    Just the architecture alone is worth the visit. It’s really a beautiful train station in the heart of Manhattan. Best place to ride the subway lots of different routes from here and direct to Jersey 👍

    The Grand Canyon near Phoenix is a natural wonder that left me awe-inspired. The sheer vastness of the canyon and the intricate layers of rock formations are truly breathtaking. Opting for a combination of South Rim viewpoints, like Mather Point and Yavapai Observation Station, provided a comprehensive and visually stunning experience. Consider taking a guided tour for deeper insights into the geological and cultural aspects. Sunset or sunrise visits offer magical lighting, enhancing the canyon's colors. The Grand Canyon's beauty is best appreciated by embracing multiple viewpoints and taking the time to absorb its grandeur. The parking fee is $35 but good for 7 days so scheduled time to return, it is impossible to see it all in 1 day. The South Rim is equipped with several shuttle routes taking you to different locations within the park. The Red route is the longest and busiest with 10 stops lasting approximately 80 minutes roundtrip if you do not hop off for a closer look. The Orange route is 6 stops including the Visitor Center and is about 60 minutes without getting off. The Blue route stops at all accommodations in the canyon including restaurants, grocery, and visitor center, and takes you to the Red route transfer. There is also a Blue line express direct to the Red route. The Purple route runs from the canyon to the neighbor village square Tusayan but this route is limited and runs only during the peak summer months. Bathrooms are located at the visitor center and at specific stops throughout the park but there are more like outhouses with no running water so hand sanitizer is provided. Dress warm and wear comfortable shoes with excellent grips especially if you are visiting after the summer months because it can get quite chilly and even have some snowfall.

    Woke up early and thought not seen the Brooklyn bridge and I bet it looks awesome as the sun rises over it. This gave me 2 options get up now and walk from our hotel just off Time Square and get there just before sunrise or go back to sleep, set an alarm, get the subway but this had the risk of sleeping through it so I went for the 1st one. Walking through the deserted streets of Manhattan as the city came to life was a pretty cool experience. The walk took about 80 minutes but was well worth the effort as on a cold bright morning the sun appeared over Brooklyn just after I arrived and was a spectacular thing to witness.
