The Poconos just scored another major win.
Woodloch Resort, located in Hawley, PA, has officially been named the No. 1 family resort in America by USA Today’s 10Best readers’ poll—and we’re already bookmarking it for a late-summer adventure.
Just under three hours from NYC, this all-inclusive getaway has been family-owned and operated since 1958, blending classic hospitality with endless activities that keep kids, teens, and adults entertained year-round.
You’ll find everything from lakeside rooms with private balconies to sprawling vacation homes that fit up to 12 people.
And if parents need a break, the adults-only Lodge at Woodloch next door offers spa treatments and gourmet, farm-to-table dining.
Every day at Woodloch is packed with more than 30 scheduled activities — think go-karts, bumper boats, archery, climbing walls, scavenger hunts, and family Olympics.
Summer means kayaking, paddle boarding, and waterskiing, while winter turns the resort into a snowy playground with tubing, ice skating, and fireside s’mores.
And it’s not just daytime fun — evenings bring Broadway-style shows, magicians, live music, and even fireworks on special nights.
Little ones can spend hours in the indoor play forest, join craft workshops, or meet animals at the petting zoo.
Meanwhile, parents will love that all-inclusive meals cover everything from hearty breakfasts to steak nights and burger cookouts — plus $10 kids’ menus and even ice cream shops on site.
Ready to book your stay? Summer and holiday weekends book up fast, so reserve early.
And if you want the best of both worlds, we highly recommend splitting your time between the family-friendly Pines and the serene spa Lodge.
