Ulster County, NY Resort To Host Holiday Event With World's Largest Kaleidoscope

An Ulster County, NY resort may be considered a hidden gem within the Hudson Valley. Locals may have experienced the world's largest kaleidoscope there before while visitors travel to this resort to experience it.

The World's Largest Kaleidoscope Is Located At The Emerson Resort & Spa

The Kaatskill Kaleidoscope is located inside of the Emerson Resort. A few years back, I visited the Kaatskill Kaleidoscope at the Emerson Resort. It was an experience that I will always remember. During the kaleidoscope experience, it made me forget about anything else going on and enjoy the fun, psychedelic show.

The World Record Academy shared that the silo from the original Riseley Flats Farm in Mount Tremper became the kaleidoscope and set the world record for being the World's Largest Kaleidoscope. Charles Karadimos was the artist who created the award winning kaleidoscope.

The Kaatskill Kaleidoscope Is A Main Attraction In Mt. Tremper, NY

The Emerson Resort shared information about this one of a kind experience.

"Standing at 56 feet tall and 38 feet in diameter, the attraction is certifiably the World’s Largest Kaleidoscope. When you step into the silo kaleidoscope, lay on the ground or lean up against the wall and gaze at the ceiling for the 20-minute display."

Do you remember those kaleidoscopes that we had as children? The Emerson Resort claims that their experience is better than what we've experienced in the past.

"The Catskills inspire the moving images and mirrors, so look out for familiar objects in the bright evolving images. To accompany the spectacular show, a musical score surrounds and immerses you in the kaleidoscope. "

The Emerson Resort also shared that the entry is only $5 per person and free for children 11 and younger. Its open seven days a week from 9am-5pm. Their gift shop also has unique gifts for yourself or others and souvenirs to purchase to keep this memory alive.

Along with visiting the world's largest kaleidoscope, guests are invited to join in on holiday fun as well.
