Here is what Jamie C., from Akron, had to say about her experience at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park from her five star review this May. “Awesome place!

Brandon L., an employee of Ozzy’s Family Fun Center, had this to say about the new roller skating club that Ozzy’s has just started. “Ozzy’s also has a brand new competitive roller figure skating club that teaches the newest and best techniques in the world. As the instructor, I have undergone hours of seminars and discussions with some of the world’s top instructors to ensure that Learn to Sk8 class participants are learning the best sport in the world in the most fun and safe way possible! We’re also the only club in our region that utilizes a state of the art jump harness that helps our skaters learn harder elements without the fear of excessive and painful falling!”

Whitewater Rafting Adventures
Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Bloomsburg is one of the top white water rafting opportunities in the area. About an hour away from Bloomsburg proper, Adventurerafting.com is much more than just your average rafting provider. Experience the rush of a 900 ft. long zipline, get in a paintball battle with your loved ones (make sure they don’t become your enemies), take an awesome mountain biking trek, and experience guided whitewater rafting in the Pocono Mountains on the Lehigh River.
Eric from New Jersey had this to say about his experience at Whitewater Rafting Adventures. “The staff at Whitewater Rafting Adventures is excellent, knowledgeable and very well educated in all aspects of rafting and the river itself… They were accommodating to our group from the beginning and did everything they could to make our trip as perfect as could be… Loved the river. It was beautiful. Can’t wait to try some class 3 rapids next time we go.” There you have it, an all-around great time which is sure to get the heart rate up at the same time.
The Bloomsburg Fair
We’ve been highlighting a few activities that are certainly within a reasonable driving distance of Bloomsburg, but let’s talk about an annual event that takes place within the city itself. Going on this year from September 22 through the 30th, this September’s fair marks the 162nd annual Bloomsburg Fair. North of 350,000 people attended both the 2015 and 2016 iterations, and 2017s looks like it won’t be any different.
At the fair, you can enjoy live music, carriage rides, helicopter rides, classic carnival events, with a few special events throughout the week long experience. For example, on the 30th and 31st there will be a Bald Eagle Kennel Club Dog Show, and the weekend kicks off on the 22nd and 23rd with the Christmas In July Shopapalooza! With livestock on display and, get this, a bengal tiger show, the Bloomsburg Fair is sure to have something for everyone.
“I rode the helicopter here for the first time, you can’t beat the price! I held a monkey, ate a Twinx (Twix stuffed in a Twinkie wrapped in bacon battered and deep fried), a hot dog with peanut butter, had an apple milkshake, and played some bingo. There aren’t fairs like this out west so I got my fill for at least a couple of years. Until the next time Bloomsburg Fair!” April D., from Las Vegas, knows a good fair when she sees one. Tickets go on sale in less than a week!
