My boyfriend and I came here for our 3rd anniversary. We really enjoyed ourselves, the area was beautiful, the axe throwing was a lot of fun, and Mark was incredibly friendly and helpful, and he even recommended places to eat afterwards. We decided on his friend’s place Saint Boniface which was also great!Will definitely be coming back to both places!

The Challenge Adventure zipline course is a longer course, with great views and some optional challenges too. Our instuctors explained details well, with a sense of humor. Follow-up emails were outstanding. They really care. We waited out a t-storm and it went fine. DO read all rules. Hope to be back!Update: did the 2 zip lines with 2 levels of challenge course & Christmas lights; great lights trail. Warm--layer with plastic like a raincoat, etc. Guy fed the tree frogs for us, to see them at the animal exhibit.

We took our public school class field trip here and as a teacher I was thoroughly impressed. The staff was GREAT with the kids and everything ran smoothly. The zip line was a huge hit but the students loved the other activities as well. I would highly encourage other districts to consider Refreshing Mountain for their field trips!

We drove over from Mechanicsburg and did the Christmas Lights - Adventure 2 with a group of 10. It was so much fun. Had kids in age from 6-13 and four adults. Staff was great and very efficient in getting you on the two zip lines. The elevated rope obstacle course had a wide variety of challenges that were amazing and you could do at your own pace. The whole area is lit up with Christmas lights. There is a great cafe right next to the zip lines and rope course that had great ice cream, coffee, milkshakes, and pretzels, among other things. Overall a great fun experience and will definitely be back.

Went to see the Christmas lights and was surprised to see how much more there was to do. Free walk through lights with a donation box towards the end. Had a cool reptile house and birds of prey area as well. There was also a ropes course and zip line that runs through a lot of the area as well. Also a snack shack with coffee, hot chocolate, milkshakes, soft pretzels, mini pizzas, and a lot more. There is probably more that I missed but, definitely recommended for families of all ages.

We visited other Christmas villages, but Refreshing Mountain gave us an evening of beauty for all the senses to enjoy. The tone is peaceful but fun. The Christmas music filled one with the Christmas spirit and the lights were stunning. We zip lined for the first time and I’m glad it was here. Our two fellas were very knowledgeable, paid attention to detail, were encouraging, and patient. I’d go back in a minute and would encourage others to include Refreshing Mountain in their plans.

Every Staff and Team Member we met was pleasant and professional and All seemed to enjoy their "work". Well Done! We'll be back in Summer for the 7 Zips! Keep Up the Good Work!

3 over 50 women went zip lining for the first time and had the best of fun. The staff was exceptional, although it is primarily made up of teenagers, they handled themselves with the utmost professionalism, friendliness and patience (it took me several seconds to step off the platform). I had no idea what the obstacle course was prior to our arrival. Encouraged by the different levels of ability, I worked up the courage to go from the easiest to the hard level, even though I’m terrified of heights. The Christmas lights all around the property made for a very festive evening. It was in the 20s, but the campfire and a warm cafe did the trick. We even ordered ice cream instead of hot chocolate because the cafe instantly took the chill out of our bones. Refreshing Mountain did not disappoint and I’m looking forward to bringing my grandkids in the summer when they are a little older.

Very nice! We liked the lighted walk through the woods. Plenty of spaces to stop and enjoy. They kept the heaters and fire pits going which was great as it was below 30 when we went. Zip-lining in the dark is neat, but just standing on the platforms at night is cool also!

We had a great experience zip lining. The ropes course slowed us down but it was challenging and fun. We definitely hope to come back and do some more zip lining!! The staff was patient and kind. A child in our group was struggling with fear and they got her through it. Thanks for helping us make some happy memories!

The Challenge Adventure zipline course is a longer course, with great views and some optional challenges too. Our instuctors explained details well, with a sense of humor. Follow-up emails were outstanding. They really care. We waited out a t-storm and it went fine. DO read all rules. Hope to be back!Update: did the 2 zip lines with 2 levels of challenge course & Christmas lights; great lights trail. Warm--layer with plastic like a raincoat, etc. Guy fed the tree frogs for us, to see them at the animal exhibit.

We drove over from Mechanicsburg and did the Christmas Lights - Adventure 2 with a group of 10. It was so much fun. Had kids in age from 6-13 and four adults. Staff was great and very efficient in getting you on the two zip lines. The elevated rope obstacle course had a wide variety of challenges that were amazing and you could do at your own pace. The whole area is lit up with Christmas lights. There is a great cafe right next to the zip lines and rope course that had great ice cream, coffee, milkshakes, and pretzels, among other things. Overall a great fun experience and will definitely be back.

Went to see the Christmas lights and was surprised to see how much more there was to do. Free walk through lights with a donation box towards the end. Had a cool reptile house and birds of prey area as well. There was also a ropes course and zip line that runs through a lot of the area as well. Also a snack shack with coffee, hot chocolate, milkshakes, soft pretzels, mini pizzas, and a lot more. There is probably more that I missed but, definitely recommended for families of all ages.

We visited other Christmas villages, but Refreshing Mountain gave us an evening of beauty for all the senses to enjoy. The tone is peaceful but fun. The Christmas music filled one with the Christmas spirit and the lights were stunning. We zip lined for the first time and I’m glad it was here. Our two fellas were very knowledgeable, paid attention to detail, were encouraging, and patient. I’d go back in a minute and would encourage others to include Refreshing Mountain in their plans.

3 over 50 women went zip lining for the first time and had the best of fun. The staff was exceptional, although it is primarily made up of teenagers, they handled themselves with the utmost professionalism, friendliness and patience (it took me several seconds to step off the platform). I had no idea what the obstacle course was prior to our arrival. Encouraged by the different levels of ability, I worked up the courage to go from the easiest to the hard level, even though I’m terrified of heights. The Christmas lights all around the property made for a very festive evening. It was in the 20s, but the campfire and a warm cafe did the trick. We even ordered ice cream instead of hot chocolate because the cafe instantly took the chill out of our bones. Refreshing Mountain did not disappoint and I’m looking forward to bringing my grandkids in the summer when they are a little older.

Very nice! We liked the lighted walk through the woods. Plenty of spaces to stop and enjoy. They kept the heaters and fire pits going which was great as it was below 30 when we went. Zip-lining in the dark is neat, but just standing on the platforms at night is cool also!

Has a blast on the zip lines. A little confusing while booking. We booked the larger package thinking it included the elevated obstacle. The picture for this package was the obstacle, which made it a little deceiving. But over all had a great time.

The experience was fun. The lights were gorgeous however the experience was really short for the price but the workers were nice and knowledgeable
We had a great evening! ALL staff were excellent. Zip line through the lights was such a fun experience. Obstacle course super fun! Wildness center impressive. We will be going back and we’d love to spend a weekend in the beautiful cabins.

I see testimonials about Mrs Mariel Ramsey how people get paid, so I decided to try her and now I can also say that she is the most honest woman I have ever met here. Since I started investing through her in forex and crypto trading, I get my income without any issues weekly,i invested $1000 and i made a successful withdrawal of $10,300 after 7 days of trading You can also be part of this great opportunity by contacting her and start earning weekly.

What a fun place! We did the zipline and ropes course tour that took about 1 1/2 hours. The guides were so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially to those that needed extra assistance. The resort is beautiful and clean. I thought it was newer but our guide said it has been around since the 1980s. I highly recommend at least a day trip, or stay a few days. It is amazing.

We rsvp for 10am.4 kids between ages 9 and 13 and 2 adults. We had so much fun at the ziplines and the elevated obstacle course. The first level of the obstacle course is tricky but easy, the 2nd level a little harder for us but still doable 😂. We didn't wait much in line. The staff was friendly and fast. The place was very nice and clean. The animal exhibitions were very nice as well.
