Mountain Creek Resort

We went to Mountain Creek for the fall fest. The event was packed the weather was perfect and the ride up the lift was great. It was cool watching the mountain biking on the trail from the lift. The only issue i had was the food and drink situation. They did the best they could, but clearly not prepared for the mass of people that came. Luckily the burger was delicious and saved the afternoon. Overall happy, good atmosphere, food, games, music and friendly staff.

Came here November 2nd for the 3rd annual fall fest weekend. I got the sky ride ticket for $16.78. I really wanted to try the adventure package but it was already sold out by the time I got ready to purchase. In my honest opinion the Fall Fest is NOT WORTH IT! Especially if it would be quite a drive for you. The drive for me was about 1 hour and 30 minutes and I don’t think the experience was worth the drive. I honestly feel like the IG reels and TikTok videos I’ve seen of the Fall fest overhyped it and made it look better than it really was. In my opinion it was hectic because there were bikers all over the place which is fair because the fall fest and the bike trail is a shared space. I think they should have called this BIKER FEST you literally have to watch out because the bikers just zoom by. I did get to go on the sky ride which was nice and the scenery was beautiful. But, was it worth coming to the fall fest and purchasing a ticket just to do that…… NO. If you are looking for a Fall experience/farm experience in Vernon, NJ I recommend Heaven Hill Farm which is literally 9 minutes from mountain creek. Now that gave me the vibe I was looking for. I didn’t get to explore it fully because it was close to closing time but I did check out their Farmers Market and their cider donuts were tasty. Anyways, maybe I will be back to mountain creek but probably not for their Fall Fest. I will say that the staff at mountain creek were friendly, I got some cool photos, and I got to spend time with family and friends so that is a plus.

Great bike park! Employees were pleasant and helpful. Prices were reasonable. The lift took a couple tries to perfect loading the bikes but after that it was easy. We visited during Octoberfest and it was good and bad. Very busy, but lots of entertainment and food options. The trails ranged from mild to wild. I liked that there were technical trails as well as flow. The trails were a little washed out but not too bad considering it was the end of the season. Overall it was a great experience and we plan on returning!

We did the ziplining tour and bought the unlimited sky ride and mountain coaster during the fall season. Heather and Indi with the ziplining was wonderful. They were patient and kind. They guided us with knowledge. I am petite in size so they gave me extra advice. Thank you ladies. The mountain coaster was 1 mile long and it was fun. You control your speed. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there

I’m really disappointed with Mountain Creek’s lift ride operation. They closed the line 30 minutes before the posted closing time, saying the line was already too long — yet they were still selling tickets just minutes before closing the line! That’s completely unfair and misleading. It feels like they just care about making sales, not about giving guests the experience they paid for. The staff didn’t communicate properly, didn’t apologize, and didn’t offer any options for people who bought tickets but couldn’t even line up. If they know the line gets long, they should stop selling tickets earlier or use time slots to manage the crowd properly — not punish guests who show up on time. It's not our problem that everyone wants to ride during sunset. That should be a management problem!! This was very disappointing and showed how poor the customer service and organization really are. Never again! Waste of money!

Here already for fall fest and its overly crowded. No one working so it’s unclear if parking is paid/unpaid. Food vendor area is disorganized. Not clear what each line is for (1 for ordering, 1 for pickup, but no rhyme or rhtym to tell you when your order is ready). Took an hour to get our food alone. Do not waste your money on this. Did not go on gondola or coaster due to long lines (1 hour at least). Not a good experience and am requesting a refund. If I’m driving 2 hours from NYC for foliage, better to go upstate to the Catskills than this overhyped crapshow Also, while we were prepared for bugs and nature, we did not anticipate the insane amount of yellow jackets near the food area Update 24 hours after emailing them (and before they responded below): Got a general message they’re looking into it. To be clear, this was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. We did not even have enough time to redeem the tickets we bought due to the long lines. Sadly, I do not have confidence they’ll make it right and strongly feel this place is a cash grab. We do not plan to ever come back and encourage others to avoid. Go over to warwick, ny and go apple picking, or just go up to The Catskills Update 3 days later: After a bit of pushing via email, we got a long empathetic apology from the owner who refunded us. His leadership was greatly appreciated, and hopefully the resort takes the right steps to fix this. Owner invited us back and offered some perks upon our return, but we likely will not come back given the lines issue seems to be an ongoing issue. We hope the resort will improve over time.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Mountain Creek chairlift team. On September 13, while photographing a wedding, I accidentally left my camera at the top of the mountain. The lift was scheduled to close at 6:00 PM, but the staff kindly stayed with me and waited until the last team member at the summit located my camera and brought it down. I’m deeply grateful for their patience, professionalism, and kindness. Thank you so much!

Jason and Cooper were our zip line tour guides. They were friendly, communicative and super informative during the whole 2 hour tour. Really made my brother and sister’s first time zip lining a blast. Thank you all so much! Well worth the trip
