Things To Do
Phoenicia Diner
We ate lunch at this diner during our initial site visit to Full Moon. Everything on the menu tastes as good as it reads and you will love this new school diner with an old school feel.
Peekamoose Restaurant and Tap Room
Delicious farm to table spot. They also have tasty drinks.
Dixon Roadside
The team behind The Phoenicia Diner recently opened this new barbecue spot in Woodstock, and it’s perfect for outdoor dining without a server taking your order at a table.
The Pines
The Pines is a rustic Catskills roadhouse, serving up delicious scratch cooking and a warm hug.
Brio's
If you're in the mood for pizza and beer, look no further!
The Ice Cream Station
A bounty of traditional and unique ice-cream flavors is ready to be scooped into a dish, cone, milkshake, or whatever else strikes your fancy.
Woodstock Brewing
Taste some beer at a local brewery!
Emerson Kaleidoscope
If you're one of our guests already staying at Emerson - you're in luck! Even if you're not, you should go check out the world's largest kaleidoscope. Real talk, this is a Guinness World Record-holding, multi-sensory attraction. The Kaatskill Kaleidoscope is the world's largest kaleidoscope, measuring 56 feet in height. It was designed by 1960s psychedelic artist Isaac Abrams and his son Raphael. It cost $250,000 to build and opened in 1996.
Hike The Catskills
The Catskills are home to some of the best hiking trails, from beginner to experienced. Overlook Mountain: This hike is one of the most spectacular hikes in all the Catskills because of its many facets. The trail takes you through the ruins of a turn of the century grand hotel, a fantastic overlook at the summit, and a firetower with incredible 360º views. Giant Ledge: The trail is in Big Indian and well worth the trek. It’s just a little over an hour to the top, where surreal views from multiple giant ledges await. Kaaterskill Falls: This is a short hike that takes you to the highest two-tiered waterfall in New York State.
Visit Woodstock
Just 20 mins from Full Moon Resort, Woodstock is a definite contender for the coolest destination in the Catskills. This laid-back town has it all: eclectic shops, live music venues, art institutions, and it’s home to one of the best hikes in the region. Tinker Street, Mill Hill Road, and the other streets that offshoot Woodstock’s heart at its village green make for a wonderfully walkable stretch lined with colorful and quirky mom-and-pop boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.
