Bethlehem Steel Corporation Review

Nice cultural hub, built from the reclaimed land of the formerly Bethlehem Steel Industrial complex. There are an open space arena, suitable for an outdoor concert or a large public event. A movie theater that often shows the classics of the year past. Cafeteria serves sandwiches and drinks. Depending on the time of the year, events like Musikfest or Christkinklemarket are held here.
Parking is free. Large grounds easily accommodate large groups...

Took a friend from out of town here to show her around and she was blown away, walking the trellis is a great way to show off Bethlehem and all of it's cool history and fun modern set ups. Shes coming up again next weekend for Mysikfest which surprisingly she had never heard of before!

Great place to walk around. There s so much rich history here. I m definitely going to look into it more. So interesting especially for an engineer! Also a little sad because there s such a big piece of history here.

Cool very industrial site see all original steal plant. See how people had rather harsh conditions to work in from early 1800s. This is not a recreation it is a real historic steal plant. The are entertainment venues resturants and much more on the grounds. Many different special events throughout the year most are free. There is no charge to enter all free pluse plenty of free parking.

I enjoyed being here for the Oktoberfest 5k run. The day before the run I went up and walked around. It was so neat learning around something that is a part of my states history. So many cool facts. So glad they preserved the Steel Stacks instead of tearing it all down.

Love the food. Presentation of this place isn't the best.

Not a place for a date.

Impressive. If you are around and are interested in history and technology it's a must see

It was a great experience needed more variety of food.

Nice area. Cultural attractions, a casino and an upscale mall. In addition you can walk the outside of the gigantic Bethlehem Steel Works. A nice way to spend an afternoon enjoying the modern as well as seeing and learning some history.

Great acts, great location, great facilities. You can see everything from local bands to platinum record artists. The SteelStacks also hosts numerous events throughout the year including Christkindlmarkt, and Musicfest just to name a few. Strolling the elevated rail trestle walkway along the defunct Bethlehem Steel Blast Furnaces is a must do. The only downside to this location is the lack of quality food on site however, there are plenty of other great options within walking distance. This should definitely be a venue to put on your list of places to visit in 2019.

The tour is quite informative you use your phone to connect to a website and have actually video and audio for the tour. It is quite informative I suggest anyone who thinks they know about the Bethlehem steel still take this tour!
I've Lived in Bethlehem for 30 years-and Lived in The Valley for 54 years-and most things I never knew.
This is the 1st time that ive done the Tour for the steel stacks.
I took pics of things most people wouldn't. You have to look closely to see what I found.
This amazing thing to have to Commemorate the history of the Bethlehem Steel.
I have more appropriation for my legacy.
Especially since my Dad had worked for the
Philadelphia, Bethlehem, New England Rail Road in the Steel Freight yard from 1951 to 1978.
Thank you for having this!

A great example of a SteamPunk Building!!! So many art activities and events happening here for the culturally minded!! Many concerts and even a casino. Worth a trip to Bethlehem PA just to see this cool old steel factory!

Cars and Coffee every month is great; though, it s starting to get a bit too big. It was a lot more fun when it was still a little small.

Great place to see a show, very small venue. The staff was helpful and friendly.

A fantastic place to immerse yourself in the vast history of this region. The preserved aspects of the mill and the interpretive displays are fantastic and they have utilized part of the space as an outdoor music and show venue. Very creative use of the site and it was refreshing to see some revitalization of what is a shuttered tiran of industry. A must see if you are in this area!

I love going here to capture the factory at night or by day. It's a nice little look back in the history of Bethlehem.

Marvelous place to visit and the atmosphere was quite relaxing, and great service

So much history!! Marvelous how it's been preserved and how it's being displayed.. our country has been built by these stacks, the men who worked there! Wow, amazing.. this should be mandatory for all students to see!!! I've waited a very long time to come here!! Off my bucket list!

Come by take a stroll.
YOU will be amazed of the story written about this beautiful Steel Stack.

A very unique place that visualizes the history of the steel industry in Bethlehem, PA.

We love this place.. all year long they have great events for the whole family

This is a wonderful venue ! I love all the free concerts in the summer. Never a problem when we go - always fun.

Historical, nice place to spend 4hours. Shop,eat relax check out the stacks

The guiding texts in the elevated trestle gives the picture of Bethlehem history, and the structure itself telltales the magnitude of the factory's past.

This place is possibly the best venue I have ever been to for a concert. Will definitely be returning down the road. Highly recommend it

This was a very interesting place to go visit very educating and it is very cool to see all of those buildings big buildings just to walk beside them was an Experiance itself we loved it

Magnificently gigantic view!! Love to take a walk on the walkway and photograph this place as it's pretty photogenic! Only thing is that sometimes they close the gate to the walkway for whatever the reason, so you need to check it online before you decide to just show up and get disappointed.

Wonderful tour of a bygone era. Our tour guide "Charlie was informative and pleasant to listen to. Amazing that men could work under these harsh conditions.

Amazing place to visit, there's so much history at this place. You don't really grasp the scale of things until you visit. I really hope they continue to add shops and things to do here. It was very clean and well maintained. I'll definitely be visiting again for a concert or if we're back in town. We parked in the stacks parking lot and walked to the outlets and shops via the sky walk. It was a pretty easy walk.

If you need to do some Christmas shopping this is the place to do it. Just be prepared to do it with a very big crowd!

Historically fascinating and visually stunning piece of history that you can tour self-guided.

Really nice area to walk through and take pictures. It's very interesting to check out. I definitely recommend it.

It was a great setting with distance for an intimate show. The staff was supurb and very friendly. Our waiter was named Element! He was as great as him name!

Nice place too walk around too! Wish there were more stuff

This is probably my favorite landmark in Bethlehem. It s such a beautiful sight. If you go to Bethlehem you have to go here!

Beautiful facade to hold my daughter's Ballet recital!

To remember the past and be there with the new coming together with your Family is great.

The FREE violen concert was amazing and packed out. I took my one son to walk around the raised cat walk and learned more about the iron making process and what used to go one there. It was great esp w the amazing music in the background.

Real cool had a good tour then had a beer and food next door concerts are fun there too

We visited on a gloomy day in light rain and had an awesome time walking around and reading the signs to learn about how steel was made here. Got lots of great rusty photos too.

What a cool place! Took kids to Dorneypark, stayed over, found a brochure at hotel for free summer concerts few miles away. This is a closed steel plant. They have concerts here at night, it was so cool! You get to walk up the stairs all around. They also have tours on certain days. Different booths cooking burgers, a bar. Food truck etc... Perfect for entire family!

Great place to see a show. Real fun relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of places to eat or drink before the show. Festival was a blast.

I enjoy the elevated walkway as well as the information displays that are placed along the walkway as well. The pavilion often has fun, free concerts as well.

It is a really nice place to walk around. There is a movie theatre there that plays local movies. There are outdoor concerts throughout spring and summer. The Hoover Mason Trestle is fun also.

Live music is back! It takes a reservation and some dinner $, but great to hear Craig Thatcher and Nyk in person. Service is great. Food suggestion - wings with the mango habanero sauce and the Spring Berry salad. Delish!

The level and volume of programming alone make SteelStacks a place worth checking out. However, both the quality of facilities and the care that has been taken to tell a succinct version of the story of Bethlehem Steel make SteelStacks genuinely unusual. There's always something going on at SteelStacks, oftentimes something that would appeal to a diverse crowd, but it's the stuff that's always going on that makes SteelStacks a great destination.

A very lovely venue. Grass seating. Plenty of parking. So much American history great shows and a fantastic dance floor during the jazz weekend. Bethlehem is turning a corner and hopefully there will be jobs and money to go around.

Really neat place. Food was good, not a lot of selections...but we were there for a concert, not really the food. Good service, decent prices. Concert was awesome. All seats are good!!

What a great place Excellent use of the old steel works

This place can be magical . Surrounding town is meh, but has some pretty old buildings and architecture.

Love the more intimate setting here for concerts. Plus, they moved the concert indoors due to severe storm warnings, which was great---no interuptions or need to seek shelter from any lightning.
The area was spacious, even with it being standing room only (didn't feel packed in). Definitely keeping an eye on upcoming events....worth the hour drive!

Saw a really cool stunt while i was there going on and it was free adminstiaon some guy climbed the big stacks all the way to the top and he stayed there for a while would like to see it again

If you have any connection at all to the steel industry this is a must. Also of general interest. The site often hosts interesting events, too.

So much history to enjoy......free concerts during the summer months; Musikfest in August.....KhristKindle Mart in November/December......indoor concerts all year round

awesome place, get the 2 day pass and stay at the Sands. ..

I love what they did down at the Steelstacks! I always have a great time down there, great music/shows/events, food and drinks, and the absolutely best backdrop... the Bethlehem Steel!!! I can't wait to see what else they decide to do with that area!

This place is heaven for the rust lover. Well thought out design enables visitors to view the rusting steel mill and the visitor center adjacent enables visitors to learn the history by way of displays and a movie. Clean restrooms, parking available.

Amazing place located in historial Bethlehem, PA. It's lighted and decorated for the holidays. A must see and visit!!

Cool place to explore and learn about Bethlehem Steel. Free entry.

I have never had a bad or poor experience at the Steel Stacks. Step Outdoors Lehigh Valley was a fun and outdoor educational event for children. We also participated in the Autism Speaks 5k walk and it was put together perfectly. I will continue to go to events here. It is a family friendly environment. The walk of the Steel Stacks is amazing too! That's a must do walk through!

This is a free venue with very talented bands. Tonight was Latin. Rock and we very much enjoyed this group

Very interesting site in a newly revitalized area. See what was the biggest employer and builder of our country.

Lots of quality entertainment free of charge. Always a good time!

Musikfest was an absolute blast the venders were amazing and the entertainment was great! Fun little summer get away every year with lots of smiles!

Would of been 5 stars great piece of history and now event venue. But all the products or none of the ones I looked at in the gift shop were made in america

Beautiful location with incredible history. A great location to walk around. I got married there 6 years ago and it made for amazing pictures!!! There is always an event going on here, whether outdoors or inside the Artsquest center.

Took the Hoover-Mason Trestle tour today with Cody, who was outstanding.

Great walk along the trestle affording you views of the blast furnaces, workshops, and more. Allows you to walk through the entire process from the early iron days up through the last days of steel production here.

I also recommend the short movie documenting the history of Bethlehem shown before the tour. As someone who didn t know much about the area, it was well done, informative, and set the stage for the tour that followed.

Great place to hang out, free concerts on the weekends grab some food and drink relax

It is nice, great photo ops. But nothing was open. So you just walk around but it is a really nice walk.

It was awesome!!! The dog jumping competition we watched was sooooo much fun...

One of our favorite no places. We did our 10yr anniversary party in the Arts Quest building. Cars & Coffee is always well attended. Great spot to hang out and take pics.

Great venue. Clean restrooms. Concerts are usually free. Spend an evening and enjoy the blast furnace backdrop and great music.

This theatre is very nice, clean, comfortable
and offers movies not shown in Berks County. We were there twice in one week and really enjoyed the shows.

Wonderful experience. Everyone was extremely friendly.

Home of Lehigh Valley Cars and Coffee. Must see events. Plus it's free.

So it was actually a school field trip we had. It was pretty fun i guess we first had a tour of the museum there. Then we went up the steel stacks to see them. Lastly we went back to the school. I enjoyed it mostly

Cool place lots of history but manly told by historical markers. Took one star off because there is nothing interactive you are just walking on catwalk like structure you can't actually go inside any of the old Bethlehem Steel.
