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.

- BoMamaSouthern Pines, NC59 contributionsWalked from SE corner to Tavern On The Green. Lots to see and do. Took photos of the bridge. Rode the carousel. Outdoor ice skating rink looked popular.

- abbyell17Fort Worth, TX1 contributionI had a great visit to the Empire State Building. The whole experience flowed very well and I thought the experience was worth the price I paid! Loved the history and old photos aspect as well as the highlight of things filmed there. Visiting was stepping into an iconic place. And the view was incredible! Would recommend a visit!Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christophe BQuebec City, Canada1,030 contributionsEasily my favorite free activity and urban walk in NY. I started up north the path all the way to Chelsea.

- Regina M50 contributionsVery pretty, I love the Cesars hotel side of water the most, but all sides are awesome. Very well done. We left vegas last night.

- Grover RPensacola, FL22,409 contributionsYes, this is a sports stadium best experienced in a sporting event, namely baseball, but has hosted football, hockey and concerts; however, there is a reason it is number 1 in this historic colonial city. It is a MUST SEE American venue with loads of sporting history, a true American Gothic facility. A relic of a bygone era, before the automobile but after the age of steel, this stadium highlights the days when clustered cities nestled civic venues into specialized local spaces that allow for unique oddities. Bathed in an almost Celtic green, the stadium is easily recognized from any view. It is further distinguished by features like the huge left field wall, known as the "Green Monster" to the triangle shaped outfield bleachers and unique right field corner that has the famous Pesky Pole. This a MUST SEE attraction in Boston whether you like sports or not.
While you can see it anytime, the best time to see it is an event and especially a Red Sox game. We made a point to come back to Boston on our New England trip to experience a game. We had right field box seats, very close to the Pesky Pole. The pole which is the shortest distance from home plate in the major leagues at 302 feet is covered in signatures. Here you have great views of the press box, Green Monster and outfield triangle. We were very lucky to experience a quick Red Sox 3-1 victory against the White Sox with a game winning home run over the Green Monster in the home half of the 7th inning. All in all it is an amazing venue with tons of sports and American history that is a fun place to visit for families or couples. One of our group's favorite experiences in Boston.Written 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Perched high above Los Angeles, it’s a fantastic spot to take in the sprawling cityscape. The observatory itself feels timeless, and the interactive exhibits add a touch of wonder. Simply unforgettable!Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- travelresearcher22West Sacramento, CA109 contributionsWe just experienced a spectacular day at the zoo by doing the VIP tour! Yes, it’s expensive but worth every penny. There were 8 of us(2 kids- 3 and 6). The seemless moving around the park by golf cart is wondeful. Each stop was a behind the scene experience with a zoo keeper that specialized in that animal. We enter exhibits before they opened. Saw all the animals in private viewing locations away from the hoards. We watched feedings and also got to feed animals. We back door rode the tram(no lines) and had a wonderful sit down lunch.
I could go on and on. Please don’t hesitate to book it if you are able. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend!!Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This place is crazy fun and I’m become a whiny kid when it’s time to go. 😂 Beware it is crazy expensive though. I wish Disney would consider the economic times we are in especially when it comes to working families. They are getting their money 10x’s over.Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Linda BRadcliff, KY103 contributionsWent to a concert at the Grand Ole Opry is was amazing. We got to see 6 different bands with various variety of music. This was my first visit and I had difficulty with the app tickets are on. So we went to the office and got assistance. There was a line but things went fast. All the staff were pleasant to meet and help us. We had floor seat and a good view.Written 16 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 5footerVictoria, Canada43 contributionsThis was a interesting place to spend at least 3 hours at. The volunteers were very informative. We did the tour of the bridge which was free. They had these kinda radios that you held up to a sign and it would play a commentary of the plane.Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
