Visitors can explore exhibits highlighting the wartime and humanitarian efforts of U.S. airmen and women throughout history. The museum offers free admission and parking, making it an accessible destination for anyone interested in delving into the rich history of the U.S.
My cousin, who lives in the Dover area, brought me here when I visited. I was pleasantly surprised to discover such a fantastic museum. It was Veterans Day weekend, and the place was buzzing with knowledgeable staff. The aircraft were simply breathtaking. I got to walk through some of my favorite aircraft, including the C47 and the C5A. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.
Ed T — Google review
It was a great experience. It is a history museum that offers a wide variety of air force planes, including the largest C-5 Galaxy in the country, and we were allow to explore the control tower and some aircraft cockpits. Entry was free so as parking. The staff were mostly veterans, very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. We like the flight simulator and had the opportunity to hear stories from veterans. It was awesome to see in their magazine some countries in Africa with Air Force bases especially our beloved Cameroon, Nigeria and Gabon.
Oben A — Google review
Last year, I went to the Air Mobility Command Museum to see a plane I used to work on. I was amazed at the history that is at this museum. The planes range from early World War II through present day. The tour guides are very friendly and most are incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the planes. It's been a great experience every time I go. They have what they call "Open Cockpit Day" on the third Saturday of the month from April through October. On these days, they open up almost all of their planes, weather permitting, so visitors can see more of the planes from the inside.
Ralph M — Google review
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wonderful exhibits. You never realize how huge the planes really are until you see them up close. Incredible! Great for all ages.
Amber G — Google review
I took my two grandsons to the AMC Museum and we had a really good time. The displays and descriptions provided are really well done. There's a couple of planes inside the museum that you can actually walk up into the cargo area. There's about 15 aircraft outside that you can walk around and 3 or 4 (C130, C141, & C5A) that you can actually enter and walk around the cargo area. My grandsons loved it and had a really good time. We were fortunate enough to see a C17 take off and land and we were very close to the runway which really made them happy. Have a guide when you go because you'll have more access to go inside certain displays, which we neglected to do. The museum also has a store where you can buy toys, clothing, postcards, etc. The parking lot isn't very big but seems to have more than enough spaces for the museum. I don’t think I'd want to try and drive up there in an RV though. Great trip overall. My grandsons were smiling the entire time.

Great place to stop and learn about the history of planes used in the Air Force. The volunteers were knowledgeable and friendly, and there’s so much to see and do. The gift shop is also worth checking out.
Robert A — Google review
I'm not a history or military person, but this was amazing. We toured inside of planes & got first hand storys from those who "had been there & done that". They stayed open late to make sure we saw it all. We were there 2 hours & had to hurry to see it.

An absolutely amazing museum and a must do for anyone in the area. If you are a fan of military aviation, definitely worth a trip.

Cohanzick Zoo

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Cohanzick Zoo, located in Bridgeton within a 1100-acre city park, is New Jersey's first and oldest zoo established in 1934. Spanning 15 acres, it offers free admission and educational programs while housing over 100 animals including more than 200 birds and mammals from around the world. Despite not having as many animals as larger zoos like Philly or Cape May, Cohanzick Zoo boasts major species such as tigers and bears without the crowds.
This was a great FREE zoo! A small place but plan on spending a little over an hour. It is an old zoo and the spaces are fairly small but it is easily walkable. We loved the big cats! Two tigers a mountain lion, a fishing cat, and two leopards. There's plenty of fun animals to look at! There's a small bathroom but no other buildings or concessions. It's an independent walk but quiet and right off the main road.
Elizabeth L — Google review
We love this free zoo it’s friendly it’s clean. The animals are well taken care of. It’s a great day with the kids plus there’s a splash park outside in the parking lot so when you’re done, you can take the kids over there and have some fun we’ve been here so many times we love it
Jodilynne B — Google review
It's a free, local, small zoo. You can't really complain too much about it since it is free. You can finish walking through the zoo at a leisurely pace while checking out all of the exhibits within 45 mins. There is plenty of parking as well. The only reason I am docking a star is because of maintenance that was ongoing at the time and because of fall foliage covering the walkways. Otherwise, it is a great place to bring children for a quick stroll. There is plenty of parking as well.
Ken F — Google review
Very nice place to come with the kids. With being handicap accessible and having the splash pad for the children and adults, it's a cool place to unwind with the kids.... One thing that must be said they should open their little mini golf area (maybe make it a little bigger. You have the space) it could bring in a lot of revenue for the zoo. Another thing is that the donation box should have been big and brighter to stand out. I walked passes it but did find it to donate.. Very pleased and glad the Damm was fixed.
Deana A — Google review
Has a small walkable or wheelchair able footprint. Restrooms are in the front. It took about an hour for me and my 3-year-old granddaughter to stroll and see everything. On the other side of the parking lot, there is a splash pad, which I wish it were warmer. We could have stayed longer. But she was freezing a d cut it short. They also have showers and 2 restrooms. I would definitely go again with her when it's hotter.
Evonne H — Google review
Great first zoo experience for my daughter who just turned one. Most of the animals were out and visible. Monkeys were very active! The animals you'd expect to be hard to see, were... raccoon, marmoset, hawk... otherwise everything was out. We got there around 1115a...left by 1230, quick visit. Very nice, would recommend for little ones. Its free to enter, but donations are encouraged, so if youre going, bring cash!!
Amy S — Google review
This is a nice Zoo that's very well kept. The animals are very active, at least from what my fiancée and I witnessed, and the staff were very friendly. Also its free to enter (they do take donations of supplies for all the animals if you wish to help).

Dover Motor Speedway

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Car racing venue
Sights & Landmarks
Dover Motor Speedway, also known as the Monster Mile, is a renowned racing track located north of Dupont Highway. This state-of-the-art facility has been attracting motorheads since its opening in 1969 and is a popular tourist destination in the U.S.A. The Speedway hosts thrilling NASCAR races and features a giant monster sculpture that adds to its unique charm. With a seating capacity of 135,000, it offers an unparalleled gaming experience and promises an unforgettable affair for racing fans.
It was a kids dream come true: In the 90s (yes I am old) I played NASCAR Racing on my computer and guess which track was my favorite track? Exactly! As I was in Dover I decided to go here, knowing that everything would be shut down with fences and that I couldn't get inside. But being outside would be enough for me. Then I met a really nice guy, I asked if I could take only one picture of the oval, didn't want to bother him too much as he had work to do. Well, he brought me on the roof!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 And I had a fantastic view of the oval. You made a dream come true and brought up some child memories in me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Amazing experience we had watching the NASCAR race. Highly recommend getting there early as parking is limited. side private lots which we did worked out great. Small walking distance to the gate but well worth it on a beautiful day Depending on what you go and see plan on a cashless experience so bring a credit card
Rockin' R — Google review
Dover Raceway isn’t trying to impress you — it’s trying to rattle your teeth out of your skull. The track is short, tight, and aggressive at 1.6mi. It’s not Monaco. It’s not meant to be. But what it lacks in international polish, it makes up for in raw energy. The crowds are loud, the cars are louder, and the atmosphere walks a fine line between motorsport and block party. People show up early, bring folding chairs, rum, and full coolers — because they know it’s an all-day affair.
Connor G — Google review
Excellent race track and fan accommodations. It has great sight lines and angles for seeing the entire track. Adequate restrooms for men, but women will be waiting in lines. I didn't try any of the foods or drinks inside, but they appeared similar to other Nascar tracks. The biggest negative is the weather. This track on a summer date was entirely too hot, to the point of unbearable. I won't return unless they change the date to a milder time of year.

I personally I can't rate the rooms because I did not get a room there. I went there honestly just to kill time Friday afternoon and it was very laid-back not too much commotion drinks were fair price and a lot bigger than I was thinking it was. It's my first time ever being there but I will definitely be going back more often now.

This is my second stay at this hotel, and unfortunately, it has been the most disappointing experience I have ever had with any establishment. At 6:30 AM this morning, I was charged $115.22 without my knowledge or consent, and I did not receive a bill or receipt for this transaction. This constitutes unauthorized billing, which is not only unacceptable but could be considered fraudulent. The charge was only reversed after I escalated the matter to the manager at the front desk, and I was told it would take several days before the funds return to my account. That's 215 dollars due to the 100 incidental charge. I was further informed that this has happened to multiple guests, which is deeply concerning. Despite this significant inconvenience and breach of trust, no one offered any form of acknowledgment or compensation. I no longer feel comfortable staying here, yet I am unable to obtain a refund for the following night, leaving me stuck in a situation I would never have chosen. The rooms are subpar, there are no amenities available, and the overall lack of accountability is unacceptable. I strongly caution anyone considering this property to look elsewhere.
Ariana P — Google review
The staff is friendly, they receive you with kindness and professionalism at the front desk and everyone says good morning/good afternoon. The rooms are clean and the place looks like a luxury resort. I’ve stayed at other hotels in the area and in the same price range, this one is definitely the best.

I had a deplorably experience today at Bally’s this morning simply playing a game I got harassed by Joe Fredricks who told me he had been watching me personally for 20 minutes while playing the slots and as he rudely interrupted me play her also decided to tell me how long he’s been in his position as if that was some how justified his belligerent actions. I’m a Supper Star card holder and have be visiting that casino since it was Dover Downs. And I’ve never felt so disrespected being interrupted while playing harassed all while watching other players do the samething and not even be approached. He even went so far as to say people keep coming in here messing the machines up and as a black male I would like to know what he meant by that. Giving I was the only people being harassed.

Staff was courteous and friendly, room was very clean, however for being a 4-star hotel there's no complimentary breakfast, there was a $50 fee to check in 2 hours early, the indoor pool doesn't work.
Ashley S — Google review
This location is supposed to have a working pool, if the pool is not going to be operational in the near future it should not be listed as an amenity, very disappointing especially due to it being summer. The rooms are fine, clean. I rated 3 stars because there's no microwave in the room. I asked if there was a way to heat my food and was told no.. Otherwise the staff is friendly and attentive. Housekeeping handled my requests immediately and parking was easy.

Great 👍🏽 family fun! All of the staff were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable! Staff make sure we understood all the safety protocols. The obstacle course seems very well maintained.

Best customer service ever! The team here is super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The courses were great for kids and adults! Lots or easy or challenging options. Several ziplines that go back and forth over a beautiful lake with canoes and kayaks below. The park itself was amazing and had lots to do. The overall experience here is 5 stars and we can't wait to go back!

This was an incredible experience. The staff were friendly and attentive. They answered all of our questions. We went through all obstacle courses and it was challenging! We went on the Tarzan swing which was scary because you had to jump off the platform but it was fun! If you have those water protector cases with a strap around the neck you can bring your phone. They only had large gloves which made it a tad difficult to open the clasp when I was switching stations. If you have your own gloves bring them and wear close toe shoes! Even though it was summer, we had a nice breeze and we were in the shade majority of the time. We did put on sunblock and bug repellent.

We have been on zip lines and obstacle courses like this 3 times in 3 different states. As a parent and someone who doesn’t do this frequently Go Ape in DE made me feel the safest!

I booked this for my birthday weekend, but I’m so glad I took the leap—literally! The staff were incredibly kind and patient, Juliette made check-in easy, anticipated my questions, Tierrah explained everything clearly and safety focused. The instructor who saw me stuck, and Louis helped me through a tricky obstacle with so much encouragement. He is an absolute gem and he didn't let me give up. If you’re nervous or new to this, don’t worry—they’ve got you. The park is gorgeous, the zipline over Lums Pond is stunning, and the whole experience left me feeling proud and exhilarated. A must-visit for anyone seeking a well-run, memorable outdoor adventure.

This was/is great for out of towners like me. Sometimes you just want a change of scenery. Hop on a train from Chi town... NY.... Charm city.... DC or Philly to little ole Wilmington De. . Just a few hours away than enjoy River walk park... located right outside the train station! There are lots of activities along the walk -restaurants.. variety -from Peruvian to Ice cream shops. Events- movie theater, mini golf, childrens museum. Art work - peppered in along the path. An extensive array of trees, plants and flowers -some native to DE I had never seen before. Yes there are benches along the path and security on bicycles -I felt very safe. I met a friend from PA here... im from MD. We had a great day here- had breakfast at the local market place than walked the path, enjoying activities as we went. Id meet here again~

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem Along the Water — Beautiful, Clean, and Worth the Walk The Riverwalk in Wilmington was such a refreshing surprise. Peaceful, beautifully maintained, and lined with waterfront dining, art, and green spaces — it’s perfect for everything from a morning stroll to a sunset date night. Whether you're out with family, walking solo for some fresh air, or looking for a scenic backdrop for photos or content, this spot delivers. Bonus: there’s often live music or local events happening nearby, which adds to the charm. Safe, walkable, and full of character — definitely one of Delaware’s best-kept lifestyle gems. I’ll absolutely be back.

I strolled through the River Walk this past weekend. The views of Downtown Wilmington are absolutely beautiful, and the area is kept very clean. I also saw what I thought was some fauns on the other side of the river. During the walk, you will see plenty of restaurants, a beer garden, a mini-golf course (which is closed for the season), and a couple of museums that are in close proximity. The restroom is close to the Visitor's Center. This is a definite must-do whether you are a local or an out of towner like me.

Part Boardwalk part concrete walk, in downtown area, along the Christina River. Several restaurants, one was playing live music. A mini golf place, small playground, but not much else for activities. A beautiful 3-masted ship has a warf there. At the end of the it connects into a nature walk among the tidal flats. Not many people around on a mid-September Saturday afternoon. Bike rentals available. A good place for a walk or food, but not clear how lively the area is.

Nice walk along the river. Paved, clean and landscaped. Some parts of the river are nicer than others. But it's nice for a stroll after dinner. Saw lots of people jogging, walking, skating/scooting. Places to sit, and watch the water. Relaxing.

Nemours Estate, located in Wilmington, Delaware, is a stunning 200-acre property that showcases the opulent lifestyle of the DuPont family. The centerpiece is a 77-room French neoclassical mansion designed to resemble an 18th-century chateau. The estate also boasts formal French gardens, vintage automobile displays in the garage, and extensive woodlands and meadows.
The estate has been beautifully maintained. A Saturday guided tour is really valuable. After the tour, you can explore the mansion on your own. There are also gardens to explore. There are some beautiful spots to take a break and enjoy the peace and quiet. I plan on returning soon to enjoy a behind the scenes tour.

Excellent worth visiting. Very impressed with the Estate & staff. The staff was amazing very friendly and helpful. The mansion has original items from the family still present in the rooms.

What a brilliant estate! I loved visiting Nemours. We thoroughly enjoyed the bus tour of the grounds, as well as touring the house. All of the staff/guides were informative and friendly. I was also impressed by the special attention given to visitors. It was especially hot the day we visited. The staff provided free water, sun umbrellas and even offered free rides up to the house due to the extreme heat. All the way around, it was a wonderful experience. Please visit this historical gem!

While looking for things to do on my way to Philadelphia, I discovered the DuPont Mansion Museum. The place is stunning, with gorgeous gardens and a spectacular historic home. The staff is incredibly welcoming and great with kids—they even provided a scavenger hunt to keep them engaged. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it for all ages. And here’s a tip for fellow photographers: this spot is a dream for photos! I’d love to bring a client here for a session—it’s full of charm and beautiful backdrops.

Historical place museum
Museums
Located on a riverfront site, Hagley Museum is a historical gem showcasing the regional industrial history, including gunpowder mills and the du Pont home. The museum and library are situated on a vast 200-acre campus with preserved historic buildings and picturesque views of Brandywine Creek. Visitors can explore the original du Pont gunpowder factory and view thousands of patent models.
I really enjoyed the tours and demonstrations the gunpowder demo and machinists workshop were pretty darn cool. The grounds and gardens were lovely. The house was beautiful too. I enjoyed the office area and the old car exhibit as well. I may go back yo see more of the invention area. I thought it was a cool way to spend an afternoon

A must if you’re in the area! Absolutely a gem of a property! This is so much more than just the Hagley residence. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and kept in great condition! Live demos along the pathway and a shuttle that takes you to the home. I visited on a holiday just as they opened and didn’t have to wait very long for anything! All of the tour guides were very knowledgeable, tons to do and see pending on how much time you have. Add this to your DuPont home tours 🤍

Wow! Just terrific place. I had no idea what to expect, and unfortunately did come early enough to explore the second floor. The vibrancy, colors, layout and lighting make this place eye candy. It's such an appealing way for adults and children to learn about innovation, invention and patents with real patent models. Highly recommend. Come learn about improving the mousetrap, toilet, hairbrush and everything else. It's obvious that lots of money, time and thought is invested to make this place inviting for everyone.

We didn't expect to spend as much time as we did, and wish we had spent more time than we did. The initial display of inventions set the stage for the DuPont story. That, and an entrepreneurial spirit were on display at this museum. The tour of the mansion was informative and demonstrated house remodeling is not new. The cars and carriages were nice for a small collection. My favorite part of the "museum" was the demonstration of water turbine driven metal working equipment. I also liked the models of the making of gun powder, and the demonstration of how gun powder was tested for quality. I highly recommend this museum that is located in a beautiful setting.

Great place to visit. Came around 3pm, only the two of us on the shuttle to the Du Pont house. The tour guides are wonderful and even the shuttle driver was great, gave us very informative introduction to the historic site. People who work here to really care about the history and the legacy of the Du Pont family. Can’t wait to come back here again!

This place is beautiful, was able to visit with a volunteer group, I was the bus driver. Lots of old buildings with history back to late 1600s and 1700s. There are paved trails and woodland hikes, they have events, weddings, church groups. It is a very peaceful place, some odd buildings to see. If you visit make sure to find the book to read along the trails, it starts around the goblin house. I was told to buy tickets online, I would save a few $

Lovely! Parking: easily accessible! Very close to the entrance of the arboretum! Restrooms: well maintained and clean! Experience: multiple sights to enjoy! Can go through as fast or as slow as you’d like! I was able to see every attraction on the map and took about 2 hours or so, but you could definitely go through faster! Tickets: I went through my local library for a free pass!!!

Ridley Creek State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Ridley Creek State Park is an expansive area comprising of woodlands and meadows, providing visitors a refreshing retreat to indulge in various outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and picnicking. The park features both paved and unpaved walking trails spread out on over 2,606 acres that are perfect for jogging, biking or dog walking.
It was a pleasant day with beautiful weather so we decided to go for a hike after our stay at Grace winery Inn. We hiked approximately 6 to 8 miles throughout a well marked loop. For the most part, it was flat with light challenging inclines and declines, but overall good workout. An overall perfect visit.

Beautiful area. Hadn't been here in about 38 years or so. The only drawback to this place is the parking situation. I tried getting here early but it didn't work. Had to park down the road on the shoulder. Otherwise, lots of trails and beautiful scenery. For some reason or other, some of the trails did not show up on my GPS. Some of the trails are rather hilly due to the varying terrain. Some historical buildings throughout and lots of markings on the numerous tree varieties. Worth the parking aggravation.
Gregg G — Google review
Friends told us to meet them at this park. We are from out of state and never heard of Ridley Creek State park. We walked over four miles but that’s just a short walk here. There are miles of roads and hiking trails to walk on. The trails are well marked. Take a map at the kiosk or take a pic of the map if you plan to walk the trails. We walked on the park road here and only had three cars pass us during our hour on the road. I can’t wait to get back and explore the trails. We met at the Hunting Hill Mansion parking lot above the park office. It was a great place for us to park as there is EV charging. A two-plug, EV station is available for public use for free.

Easily accessible. There are some parts wheelchairs can't get through. But all in all great place for a hike. Couple of bridges over creeks. We even found some Morel mushrooms there too. Love the fact they have multiple trash bins. For dog owners, don't have to hang on your doggies schnitzel in a bag the whole hike. Def one of my favorite places to hike now. Planning on going back asap.

Ridley Creek State Park is absolutely gorgeous at all times of year but especially in the fall. This is a great place to drive through or spend the day and visit with kids or family. Tons of space for activities and fun. The video I filmed showcases the trees in the fall as we drove through the park. I had the 360 camera mounted to a seat and held by the person in the front seat for extra safety. I hope you enjoy the views

Great place to go on a hike or bike ride as well as excellent fishing in Ridley Creek thanks to the Delco anglers who stock a lot of brook trout which are the native trout to this area. Make sure you check out the fishing area just off of Barren Rd above the fly fishing waterfall. Great trail and great fishing. I've seen everything from mink, river otters to Make eagles and much much more!!

Milburn Orchards is one of the nation’s top rated orchards. They have great activities for the kids. Their store of fresh produce, meats, baked goods, cider, sauces, and swag is one of our weekly shopping spots. They are open early spring through Christmas I believe. We have purchased holiday deserts for them so we did not have to baked and they were so good. Their fall festival has horse rides, hay rides, face painting, assorted foods, and farm animals. The kids will love it. I highly recommend Milburn Orchards to all.

Milburn Orchards is truly my family’s happy place! We have hosted 2 birthday parties in their big backyard and both were a big hit/ easy to organize.

Went apple picking and visited the Fall Festival with my partner and a couple friends and their toddler. The Fall Festival was very family-friendly with many activities included in the price. Just know that several popular attractions (like pony rides) cost extra. Apple picking was you-pick with two varieties still there at the end of the season when we went: the orchard's own Sweet Zoes and Granny Smith apples. Both were amazing! We parked and rode a tractor over to the orchards then walked the rows. Even at the very end of the season that's were a decent amount to pick from and we filled about three bags between us all. Food on premises was a step about fair food but the apple cider donuts and a gallon of apple cider to take home were a MUST BUY. They're absolutely fantastic and worth the trip just by themselves!

Decided to do a quick impromptu stop to see the lighthouse with the family. Its a cute little spot. You'd expect the bugs to be awful so close to the water but they weren't that bad at all. Probably would reccomended visitng at sunrise hours if you get the chance to see the sunrise in the background. These photos are taken near sunset. Would reccomend for a little stroll break for any passers by on a long trip.

Wonderful hidden gem of a park. The walkway is wide and easy to walk with strollers or pets. Gorgeous views of the Chesapeake Bay and a quaint burger/ice cream joint by the boat launch to watch the sunset from. We visited after the light house was closed, as an evening stroll and dinner stop on our travels down I95. Highly recommend stopping here for a break while traveling!

Pleasant place to relax. The Susquehanna River and its vast expanse flows alongside as you walk the Promenade. The Promenade is at least a 1/4 mile long. Maybe a 1/2 mile. It's enough to get your walk on. The Promenade is a very cool place and a good use of public space. You will find the historic Concord lighthouse, the historic house of the Lighthouse Keeper, a duck decoy museum, (no never visited), an eatery for a quick bite, a marina, and places along the Promenade where people fish for dinner. There's a pier that juts out into the Susquehanna. People fish there. Another spot where people fish right from shore is located near the eatery. Find this peaceful gem of a place in Havre de Grace, MD just off Rt 40 and down Revolution Road to its end. Make right. See lighthouse to your left. I come for the Nature. The place is a show-off with nature, birdlife and the river with its lapping "baby" waves. Its' a place where you can sit back, relax, take in the view and breath fresh air. Nice! People are friendly, too. -Bill Curtis /New Mark Advertising Specialties

Looking for a spot to launch your boat? A spot to picnic? A walkway to stroll with your family? A place of both historic & natural beauty? The Promenade is that place. You can avail yourself of the restroom facilities, the deli style restaurant and the pavilions at the harbor. A stroll will take you to the lighthouse. Top all this off with a wide range of shops and places to eat nearby and you have a place to spend the day or a vacation. Love this place.

Heritage railroad
Strasburg Rail Road in Lancaster, PA offers a nostalgic experience with steam locomotive rides through Amish Country. Couples can enjoy romantic wine and cheese train rides, while families can opt for an escape room experience. The historic railway, operating since 1832, provides a glimpse into the golden age of rail travel with its well-maintained steam-powered locomotives and restored passenger cars.
It is a wonderful short ride through farmland. They make it entertaining and comfortable. Also, if you're physically disabled they make accommodations and get on and off comfortably and safely. I highly recommend it for an enjoyable short outing. They're are few nice little shops and across the road is the Pennsylvania railroad museum, and that's fantastic! You need a good 4-5 hours for that place.

Gorgeous platform setup! Gift shop was actually very affordable. I usually get sticker shock but was pleasantly surprised here! We had tickets for the first class parlor and it was very comfortable. Our server was wonderful. The scenery was great - farmland, farm animals, a small park, and other small attractions that the train goes through. 45 minutes is perfect duration especially with a child. We’re from honesdale — known for having the first locomotive train so we’ve been on several rides by us. But this one was so much nicer in every single way. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lancaster!

Strasburg Rail Road is a wonderful experience for families, students, and anyone who loves history and trains! The ride through the beautiful Amish countryside feels like stepping back in time — peaceful fields, horses, and old barns all along the way. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience both fun and educational. The vintage steam locomotive is kept in amazing condition, and you can feel the power and nostalgia with every whistle. The station area is also lovely, with gift shops, small museums, and food options nearby. Perfect for kids and groups — it’s not just a train ride, it’s a journey through history. Highly recommend visiting, especially in the fall when the scenery is at its best!

We attended the Cheese and Wine event and had a great time! The station looked magical with Christmas lights, wreaths, and trees creating a festive atmosphere. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the parlor car had a cozy, vintage feel. The train ride was shorter than expected, and since we went at night, there wasn’t much scenery to see—daytime rides would be better for that. The cheese and wine were delicious but the portions were on the small side. I do not beleive the ticket price reflected the quantity of the cheese and wine accurately. The gift shop was a pleasant surprise with lots of train-themed and holiday items. Overall, it was a fun and festive experience, perfect for the holiday season!

We drove all the way from Cleveland, Ohio (6 hours!!) to ride this train and it was incredible. My 3 year old is obsessed with trains so instead of having a birthday party we decided to spend a weekend away to learn all about trains. The entire experience was incredible - meeting Mrs. Claus, dropping a letter to Santa in the hopes we will receive a letter back, the Christmas songs, the train itself was so nostalgic, Santa on board was great! We also really enjoyed the smaller train ride after riding the big train. All in all, we had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone. We arrived 45 min prior to getting on the train (like the email recommended) so we could spend some time to do all the fun Christmas activities. Also, shockingly enough, I found this train experience using ChatGPT. I'm a working mom of 3 with limited time so I took to ChatGPT to help plan our weekend away and this is what it recommended we do. So glad I trusted it!

If you're making a trip to Lancaster, adding this to your itinerary is a must. We were just there this past weekend and did the Santa Express car (they have different experiences and price points). Ours was just perfect, a little less than an hour, with beautiful scenic route, live entertainment with instruments and Carolers. Of course the Cherry on top was Santa making his way and stopping to speak with every child, give a small Candycane and ornament gift and take pictures with each family. In addition to all that, they have a lovely station with stores, eateries, and also outdoor entertainment. Super super cute! Will go back!

Sight & Sound Theatres, located in Strasburg, is a renowned Christian theater that stages inspirational musicals based on biblical narratives such as Moses, Jonah, and Noah. The theater is famous for its elaborate sets and costumes, as well as its use of live animals in the performances. It's one of the most popular attractions in Lancaster County and offers a unique biblically-oriented experience for visitors.
We went to see "Noah". Always a pleasure and a blessing!! We were a church group of eight and the play was amazing!!! Have been here multiple times over the years. Can't wait to go back for another. Some part of the play always brings tears to my eyes. I love how they bring such serious topics with a flare of entertaining that lures you along with intrigue. They never water down the gospel message of Jesus Christ!!! I just love this place and the work the casts do. The stage props always build to the point of having your Heading spinning to try to take in everything. It's not a sensory overload, but a gradual stirring of the imagination to the point of wowing you with exuberant excitement. I can't say enough good things about this place.

**Highly Recommended for wholesome family entertainment!** - This is comparable to a Broadway show in NYC except these stories are from the BIBLE and great for the entire family. - (All my family members agree) - In addition to the main stage, they have stages on both sides of the auditorium, which gives it a "surround" or immersive effect. - The plays include musical numbers for their many scenes. - They include some one-liners for laughs.. ..which brings some light-heartedness. - They have LIVE ANIMALS in the plays also; horses, pigs, camels, sheep, goats, dogs, birds, (the kids love it..!) - It is located in Lancaster, Pa. (a great family-wholesome place to go after for lunch, sight-seeing and staying the night) - Each of these stories are heart-felt; and include a good main theme to take/ bring home with you and put into practice.. - Our Family has seen the plays: Jesus; Noah, Moses; David; Queen Esther, The Miracle of Christmas. - I would recommend a weekday, since the weekends usually get booked-up quickly. - I also suggest purchasing them online, or calling the reservation center, to make sure you get tickets. (get sold-out quickly) - They also have a nice gift shop and refreshment stands in the main lobby - (we had coffee, soft drinks, and Glazed Almonds (delicious if you are not allergic) - Cannot say enough good about this place and will continue to come back (even the kids are grown-up now) lol...

Sight and Sound is a wonderful experience for families to go to together, friends, or for your children to attend. This theater truly brings to life biblical stories with great detail and very Supreme acting. They are very punctual at starting and I recommend that anyone that can go will see it. The costay seem high, but it's very worth it and you can understand the cost to operate such a theater. I highly recommend it to anyone.

We saw Noah on a Wednesday afternoon. The place was sold out even on a weekday. The staff is helpful and friendly from the parking attendants who parked us close due to seniors with walking limitations to the will call and concessions and ushers. The show is spectacular with the actors, animatronics and live animals. It is also very emotional with a lovely surprise ending. You won’t be disappointed with this experience.

I’ve been a few times. The theatrical performances I’ve seen have been Jonah, Daniel, Noah, and The Christmas Story. This is one trip that’s worth repeating. Buy tickets MONTHS ahead. If you want to go on a specific date then order as soon as the box office opens, shows get booked super fast. I travel with a bus group. Now that part has its ups ands down.

We loved our experience at this place! We watched the Celtic tap dancers and it was a wow! The facility was well taken care of and they had concierge leading the way and directing traffic to make the intermission go as smoothly as possible!

The Christmas show was very good! Only one complaint when I went to drop off my mom who has trouble walking long distances at the front door a older guy helping with parking yelled at us like 5 times not to do drop offs there and slammed the door on my mom. Very rude and if I had his name would have said something to a worker there. Other than that the ushers were very nice and concession stand workers and the show was 10/10🔥

Amish Farm and House

Mentioned on 
59 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Amish Farm and House in Lancaster offers a unique opportunity to explore the traditional Amish way of life. Visitors can take guided tours of the historic house, farm, and schoolhouse, as well as observe animals on the property. The experience provides an up-close look at the daily routines and customs of the Amish community, allowing guests to gain insight into their simple living philosophy and traditional practices.
What a lovely experience this was! A beautiful tour of an Amish settlement in Philadelphia. Takes about 4 hours if you do it leisurely. They have multiple options. A guided bus tour takes you out to the countryside showing the country life. A house tour educates you about the daily life and traditions of the Amish people. And then there's a self guided tour along a 15-acre campus with lots of spots to discover. Lots of photography spots. You get to interact with farm animals as well. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly. They even have a good gift store as well. It is a must visit and highly recommended spot if you are in Philadelphia.

The bus tour is highly recommended — it’s both informative and a great way to see how Amish people live. Along the way, there are opportunities to interact with Amish locals and purchase handmade goods, which adds to the experience. The farm itself is okay and interesting to walk through, offering a closer look at daily life and traditional tools, but the real highlight is definitely the tour.

Jack our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour! The house is so interesting and the farm was such a great surprise. The animals are well taken care of and there is a lot of history throughout the farm. So many things to look out, so make sure you make enough time to check everything out.

My friends and I did the 90 min bus tour and then the house tour. I personally liked the house tour much better than the bus tour. The bus tour was nice to drive by all the Amish farms and we stopped at two different locations. But I felt it was more like here is where you can buy quilts and baked goods. The house tour was very informative to learn about the way of Amish life.

We travelled here for the day from Maryland as it looked good, however first impressions were not great. We expected it to be in the country side, a bit more isolated than it was - it's next to a massive target! So that threw us straight away. We only did the farm tour as we had a 3 year old in the group and the house tour was recommended 5+. It was nice, there were some informative signs about what the building were etc the farm animals looked well cared for. However it wasn't worth the 3 hour drive to come and see. Maybe worth it if you are in the area and maybe better if you did the house tour, but it think we'd have been better off going to a local farm to where we were staying in Maryland. Overall I wouldn't recommend traveling out your way to visit, especially just for the farm visit.

Me and my family decided to visit the Lancaster PA for the weekend, we really wanted to check the Amish way of living so we decided to come to this place and spend almost all day here, we took a shuttle to go inside this simple yet full of history places, me and my kids enjoyed the trolley ride we also went to their workshop and found a lot of unique and interesting items that they make manually, their labor is unbelievable, they live a simple life, their food is freshly made every meal, we are learning so much on their way of living. We saw their houses and school, my kids play on their playground and the tractors. I recommend that stop by in here to see what his amazing historical places when visiting Lancaster.

The bus tour was a waste of time honestly our driver /guild was a total tool. Now for the positive the house tour was amazing the woman was informative and brilliant. The grounds are amazing the animals and horses are great we loved the house tour but save your time and avoid the bus tour.
Nicole A — Google review
This place has great marketing for sure. It is similar to what you would see from a county fair and when you are walking around the farm your view is a commercial shopping center including Target and CiCis pizza..... disappointing The horse area has empty hay bins and hay shelter and there is trash all around the walkways including shredded trash where the grounds mowers runs over candy wrappers etc shredding them into pieces This was the worst experience of my entire vacation- the office was closed at end of my visit so no one to talk in person and no staff in sight during the visit other then the cashier who clearly did not want to be there . Over one week later still upset about this experience and fully believe it is a money grab tourist scam by the owner

Dutch Wonderland® Family Amusement Park

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park, located in Lancaster County, is a 44-acre kingdom for children with a variety of attractions suitable for the whole family. The park offers over 30 rides including roller coasters, water slides, teacup rides, and carousels designed to cater to children of all ages. In addition to the thrilling rides, there are live entertainment shows and a water play area called Dukes Lagoon.
This is a great park for younger aged children. Really cool theme & the Castle Entrance is awesome. Most rides and stuff are for kids 3-10 years old. There are a few coasters but nothing crazy. They have a live performance a few times a day & this is a MUST. The water park is probably the one area they could improve on as it's WAY over crowded and smaller than i expected. It's nice nonetheless but there isn't a wave pool, lazy river, or even just a regular pool. There's two splash pad areas for toddlers and two taller watersides and that's really it.
Jay J — Google review
A quaint little amusement/water park in Lancaster, PA. There are a few rides for the older crowd, but I think this park is geared mainly to the younger kids. My boyfriend and I took his 9 year old daughter and we all had a great time. You could actually spend the entire day at the water park if you wanted to. We didn't get to see any of the shows as we were only in Lancaster for a few days. It's interesting to see this park right along the main roadway. I believe the park was open in 1963, so I do not know if that highway was there at that time. There is also an area where you can walk through and learn about dinosaurs.
Diane C — Google review
Our 6 and 4 year old grandchildren love it here. Their favorite rides are the Whip It, Old Fashioned Car, the small roller coaster, the Bee. They were disappointed this last visit because none of the dinosaurs in explore Island were working. A fun amusement park.

Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park 2249 Lincoln Hwy E, Lancaster, PA 17602 So I’m not gonna lie I wasn’t sure what to think when my wife said let’s go to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. Doesn’t really seem like there’s anything there as a quick roadtrip destination, but the fact that this amusement park is geared towards 12 and under and we needed some long overdue family fun we decided to hit the road. Once we arrived, the checking process was super easy because we bought our tickets online. People that were purchasing tickets on site were waiting forever in line 😩. Shout out to my wife for making the arrangements online. We got in and began riding all the kid friendly rides we could fit. First we went on a boat ride and had to identify different characters along the way. We rode the skylift across the park which was relaxing. Once we got off the skylift we went to a BBQ stand to eat and unfortunately that was the only bad part about the park. The burgers weren’t real ground beef, they didn’t have any of their sides like, and the smoked sausage wasn’t very good either. They also ran out of drinks so we had to get kiddie cups of water. After the dissster that was lunch we allowed the girls to ride a bunch of rides that parents couldn’t ride with them on. We watched a water show with an evil sorcerer, a king who’s princess daughter needed to be saved by the prince that was turned into a frog by the sorcerer because he wanted to marry the princess himself. We were able to finish off the park with a couple of family rides and rollercoasters as well as taking the girls to the gift shop and grabbing some souvenirs. If we ever go again we’ll stick to your traditional amusement park food like chicken tenders, pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, etc, but all in all it was a great experience and most importantly the girls had lots of fun!
Brandon H — Google review
My son is 7 years old and he is at the perfect age for this amusement park. Definitely worth checking out at least once. You can easily see the whole park in 1 day. We plan to come back during Christmas since they decorate the park all up & you can even book Christmas dinner with Santa & his Elves! Kinda a cool experience for your little ones before they get to old. (Insert tear) lol
Jessica J — Google review
Dutch wonderland sure showed me and my family a good time everything where age-appropriate, we try almost all the rides they could ride. The water area was great since i had my 2 year old and 5 year old even i had a blast. Staff was informative friendy if we could have found something they insured that we found it. We had gotten food while there a little pricey for chicken tenders and fries finish it off with a slushy variety of flavors. So much fun things to do loved it i rate 10/10

William ( — Google review
I loved it here and cannot wait to return! I visited for the first time today with my husband (who hates rides) and my 2.5yr old toddler (who had yet to experience them). It is the perfect place to go as a family with a little one trying rides for the very first time. The rides are specifically designed with kiddos in mind, so the majority are low stakes and not very intense. I appreciated their easy system for riding based on height, and it was clearly posted at each ride. I also loved that I could walk into the rides with my son and get him situated and buckled before they began (of course workers double checked every time, but it gave me kiddo peace of mind to have me walk in with him). There were lots of food stalls and restaurants around, bathrooms in convenient locations (which included changing stations for littles), a first aid booth, strollers for rent (and plenty of places to put said strollers when on rides), games to play, and the entire park was very walkable. There were no crazy hills or long stretches of path where rides were not accessible. Wait times for rides were very short-- in fact, most of the time there was never a line. For the couple times we did wait, it was not longer than 10 minutes, and there was often shade or coverage from the sun. The water area was a blast and definitely helped us cool off. We went straight there to drop off our swim stuff (in a locker) which made it easy to get to when we were ready, and it kept us from toting extra stuff around all afternoon. The locker was for all day which was wonderful. There were so many things to do outside of rides. Shows, dives, pop up theater, Santa, a foam party, story time--it was a jam packed place. If you're looking for a place to take your littles for the day, look no further! Dutch Wonderland is the perfect place to go. Look for deals online for tickets. Kids under 3 are FREE!!!

I have been coming here since the mid 70s. It is my favorite. But mostly because of the nostalgia. A lot of vendors are dirty and unorganized. I hope the management reviews their lease requirements with the vendors soon as to clean the booths up. It is hot in the summer but warm in the winter. I recommend going here.

Kyle F — Google review
I made a special trip here on a Sunday because it is the only day it is open. I was pretty disappointed. It was interesting walking around, but the prices are very high and many booths look trashy. I found something I was interested in, asked the price, and was quote an extremely high price of 5 times what they go for. The vendor got insulted and told me that he doesn't give stuff away. I stopped looking at his booth because I am sure it was all overpriced, the reason there is stuff all over and unorganized, and dirty. That is the vibe at this place. Usually antique markets are on the high side, but this place feels more like a flea market, except the prices. Many of the vendor stands really need to be cleaned up so it doesn't look so junky. I should have just spent my time at the antique malls in the area. Much better than here.
John H — Google review
What a wonderful experience! The people, the merchandise and the character around every turn both indoors and outdoors is like stepping back in time in the best possible way. I purchased some things and had fabulous conversations along the way. This is a quality market coming from someone who has pursued the ‘joy of the hunt’ both here and abroad. Pay no mind to the nay-sayers and go here. Your heart will be full…

Burning Bridge Antique Market is a large, well-organized antiques store with helpful staff and fair prices. It carries an impressive variety of old railroad memorabilia, making it a favorite destination for collectors and ramblers alike.
What an amazing place! They have 3 floors worth of stuff. I couldn’t believe my eyes. They surely have something for anyone. I will definitely have to come back someday. Workers were super kind and friendly with helping get a necklace out of a cage that I wanted to buy. There were items there that I have never seen in person before and worth while looking at. They even had uranium glassware available! (Not to drink out of LOL). They have it with a black light so you can see that it’s glowing. There are also public restrooms so you should be set if it’s a rainy day and you need something to do. I could’ve spent hours in there if I never realized what time it was LOL. Will be back!

Visiting quaint, historic Columbia must include the Burning Bridge Antique Market. Why? It is a history lesson in products manufactured in the United States and used over the past 100 years. If you are interested in preloved quality-made products such as cut glass, crystal, real wood, silver, etc., this is the place for you.

Impressive place. Been to Columbia many times but never checked out this place. Its now my favorite antique store. It more of a museum than a store in my opinion. Probably spent 3+ hours walking around the three floors. Sure some prices were $$$ but many things were cheaper than I figured they would be. I will definitely recommend this place and I will come back. Restrooms' and plenty of parking.
Ken F — Google review
~ currently they had a lot of stuff 15%-20% off ~ This place is so cool with the different venders being able to sell collectibles/antiques without being there. A very wide selection like: fiesta dishes, uranium glass dishes, comics, jewelry, paintings, fishing supplies, Games, clothing, furniture/mirrors, plus more. it’s floors sound very squeaky but are completely safe. there’s three floors ( 1st, 2nd, & basement) and no available elevator to the public it seems * I include a photo *. It’s a very nice place to skim through and spend some time at. Personally, I’d deem this place as not handicap accessible.

Wolf Sanctuary of PA

Mentioned on

Wildlife refuge
Nature & Parks
Nestled in the tranquil woodlands of northern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Wolf Sanctuary of PA is a family-owned refuge offering guided tours and special events like Full Moon nights. Spanning over 80 acres, this sanctuary provides a unique opportunity to observe wolves and wolf-dogs in their natural habitat while serving as an educational center for wildlife conservation. Visitors can sign up for guided tours to learn more about these majestic creatures and enjoy the serene surroundings.
The guided tour was a fantastic experience. Our guide Kristen was extremely knowledgeable not only about wolves in general but also the back story of each individual wolf. This is a forever home for these wolves and most definitely not a zoo.
Elizabeth H — Google review
We went for our dad's 75th birthday on a full moon night. I would not recommend taking your older loved ones here. Hilly, gravel trails are what you walk on. We loved the enthusiasm and knowledge of the volunteers. We hated that more tickets were sold than expected (which we know helps the wolves) and we didn't get the small group tour to learn. The wolves are majestic and their howling beautiful. We did not get to see the entire sanctuary because there was not enough volunteers, that made the trails clogged with too many people. We took chairs and carried them. That sucked. You DO NOT NEED CHAIRS. There are benches and a fire pit by the gift store at the end of everything. My suggestion: bypass the moon nights and go when you can score a small group tour of the ENTIRE facility. We were thankful for all the knowledge the pony-tailed volunteer dropped on our large group of about 100 people. We appreciated the no kids under 16 rule for the moon night's too. There's such a rich, wonderful history to this place and we wanted to hear all of it. 5 stars for the wolves. 5 stars for the volunteers. 1 star for over selling tickets. Bottom line: go for a day time visit with a small group.

We actually had the pleasure of staying in one of 3 cottage's on the property. We stayed in the Paymaster's Offfice. It was an adorable cozy place that had a gas fireplace, a large air jet soaking tub, kitchenette that included a coffee maker, electric tea kettle, microwave, cook top with two burners, dishes, silverware, pots and pans. Breakfast is included with your stay and was delivered to the cottage by Maggie. Also included is a tour of the wolves. In the early morning hours, we had the pleasure of hearing a symphony of wolves. What a beautiful way to wake up. Everyone should experience it at least once. They take great care for these beautiful creatures. Our tour guide Michelle was very nice and knowledgeable about every wolf on the property. They all have a story to be told. I highly recommend going in the fall when the wolves are more active due to the cooler weather.

Book ahead when they have limited availability. They also have a gift shop if you want a souvenir.

We had a private tour with Denny; he was such a knowledgeable tour guide and passionate about the sanctuary. We got to see the beautiful wolves before their feedings, so they were active and eager to be fed. Hearing the wolves howling was amazing! In the 2 hours we really got to know most of the 55 wolves the sanctuary cares for. Denny was amazing and made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience!

Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
We recently visited Koziar’s Christmas Village with our family on a Saturday night. It’s a very popular spot and was quite crowded, but parking was well organized with the help of friendly volunteers who guided us both while parking and exiting. The entry fee is $18 per adult and $16 for kids above 2 years. The entire village was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and filled with festive music and cheerful vibes. There were plenty of photo opportunities with Christmas characters, a snack counter, and Santa for the kids. Restrooms were available at both the entrance and near the exit, and they were clean. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and parking was free. We definitely plan to visit again. The only thing to note is that if you’re visiting with a large family, the entry fees can add up — but it’s truly worth it for the magical Christmas atmosphere.

So many lights! Follow the paths. Bundle up. Hot chocolate was great. A little indoor space to look around and warm up. Truly impressive to take in all the lights. Traffic to get into the parking lot is intense worse than you imagine. Try to book a time just at dusk so less cars as more people come later then add at least an hour to your travel time to get into the parking area. My kid was newly potty trained and peed himself in his carseat because we were waiting so long, so maybe cut off fluids to the potty trained littles in your cars and even adults too. Other than the potty training issue and lots of traffic, it was beautiful for all ages.
Laura G — Google review
It had a nice smooth path to walk all around the lights with different themed areas. There were a few things that needed updated, but overall a child would love it. The only issue I had is.There were no handicapped toilets, you could get a wheelchair into inside the area. There were porta-potties outside that were handicapped, but you would have to leave the villiage area to use them.
Julia R — Google review
You feel the christmas spirit and its a nice display and walk around the park. The annoying part is that you have to follow a path and cant really take any shortcuts so you can get to the food or restrooms until the end of the park. We brought our 2 kids and they where hungry when arriving. We thought we could by food, so it became a matter of rushing through the park, we had some snacks with us that helped a little. Could be nice with access to food from the entrance and not wait until exit The food is super disappointing, heated junkfood, its cheap but not worth it. The sign said hot chocolate. Was really looking forward to it, just to be disappointed it was hot cocoa from a machine, so powder cocoa. I recommend eating before going there.

Lots of lights and cute displays to see. It was super packed on Saturday, but the staff did a great job directing traffic to park.

Great choice of ice cream flavors in a cone or dish.. order inside and pay, then pick up outside or pick out of the freezer by dish.. my personal favorite is cheesecake! You can also choose items such as baked goods, soda pop in bottles, and some simple olde tyme deli candies. You can visit the baby cows... you can pet them but be careful, they like to nibble and bite your clothes LOL then swing down to the milking area and say hi to the full grown mammas and give them a nice head rub!

Very nice place and a good selection of foods, especially ice cream. Our daughter enjoyed seeing the calves.
Scott H — Google review
We had such a great time petting all of the calves. The ice cream was amazing and there were so many unique flavors. Perfect for kids or people with special needs. Don't wear your best clothes as your hands will get dirty petting the calves. They also had a nice selection of jams, honey and other fun items to purchase.

There are picnic tables outside, corn maze and a little handwashing station outside as well.

This attraction features 7,450 sq. ft. of miniature historic buildings & model railroads.
When i was driving from DC to NYC on a state rd I found this place and it attracted me when I saw the sign board saying miniature village. It was an amazing experience to see such a wonderful art. It costs you $8 per person and its totally worth if you wanna see the ancient culture and technologies in little space. Vintage trains, cars etc. Its worth visiting.

This place was pretty amazing, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be since the place is so small but the little village was beautiful! This is a great place to take kids who love trains. I especially enjoyed the night view and music. My kids loved the trains and how they could control the trains or trolley with a push of a button, they did not want to leave. I love how detailed it was and the beautiful little pond with the fish, will definitely bring the kids back again.

This place is monstrous fun. Picture your favorite neighbor’s train table (or your own) spread out over 7500 SF. I visited this place when I was a kid, and it’s just as much fun as an adult. The displays are lovingly maintained and there are numerous vignettes you can get lost in. There’s even an airport! Make sure you’re there long enough for day to turn into night - I think it’s about every half hour or so. And walk around the whole place, or you miss a lot.

We have always wanted to stop and visit so we finally made the time to do so. The kids loved it. It is an awesome display. If you visit you have to wait to see when they change the display to night time it was amazing and my favorite part.

AMAZING, is the only word for this treasure! My wife and I stopped here with our kids on our way home from Hershey Park. This huge space is packed with different trains, buildings, homes, cars, trucks, boats, farms, mountains, waterfalls, ponds with live fish, running rivers, and more. The scene is based on how things looked in the middle 1900s and depicts AMAZING details. We spent and hour and a half walking around, reading interesting facts, pressing buttons to make the trains, small figures (people/animals), trolleys and more move, lights go on and off in beautifully designed homes & buildings, music playing, etc. I can't say enough about this place. Simply put, AMAZING!

My family and I went here to fill time before going to another local holiday tradition. I'm glad we did. The detail in these models is incredible. The pageant they put on with the Christmas music was awesome. I think we found a new tradition.
Bob T — Google review
I love Miniatures and the work that goes into creating villages with them. This work of love is very detailed and Huge. There are buttons to push for some of the moving exhibits and placard to explain the inspiration for the different areas of the village. If I'm in the area again, I will go back.

Part of American that is quickly dying. I recommend this place for anyone to visit, so it can live on. If you grew up before the 90's, this place will take you straight back to your childhood. Even though it's a little hokey, my children even enjoyed it. Make sure to catch the "Nighttime Show" God Bless America 🗽

Event venue
Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, Mount Hope Estate & Winery is a captivating destination that beautifully marries history with the art of winemaking. This 19th-century mansion serves as a vibrant hub for wine enthusiasts, featuring a delightful wine shop and tasting room where visitors can sample over 20 varieties of their handcrafted wines, alongside beer and cider options at select locations. Beyond its impressive beverage offerings, Mount Hope is renowned for hosting various festivals throughout the year, including the beloved Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire.
Amazing! You don't need to buy tickets if you're just going to the winery and it is so worth it. $5 for 5 tastings and you get to keep the glass. Any tastings are $1 and you can go through the whole menu. Definitely worth it and very cute spot. There's place to sit while tasting though, keep that in mind!

The place has a lot to offer with plenty of activities for both adults and kids. The food is good, though definitely on the pricey side. Sundays get really crowded, so expect a lot of people. Overall, a fun spot but a bit expensive.

Went to the PA Renn Faire and as always....it was amazing!!! The costumes, the food, the ale!!! Parking was a breeze and there was virtually no wait. Scotch eggs y'all!!! Also the Peach Vanilla Cider. That was from another planet!
Luke N — Google review
The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire is always a great time! The entertainment is usually great, the food is always excellent, and just the overall environment is fun and enjoyable. It is a rain or shine event so you better be prepared because they don't stop no matter what the weather does. Yes it's harder to enjoy when it's raining, but as long as it is warm enough just suck it up and enjoy yourself! The Jousting is always awesome, the idea of living the medieval life speaks to my soul LOL.

The grounds were exciting and diverse. The characters were talented, well dressed, and extremely entertaining. Though, during the final Pub Sing on the last day of the season, one of the main characters, King James of Scotland, kissed his right hand man. I don't care what each person's personal deviant affiliation is, that's between them, their partner, and God. What bothers me is when they put their preferences on display on the main stage without giving the audience a choice as to whether or not to watch. There are many children in the audience and mine were left with questions I was not prepared to answer during a fun family outing. The last time I went to the PA RenFaire there was no signs of sexual preferences or innuendo on display for the main story line events. We steered clean of all the shows that were marked Not Suitable For Children.

The rennfaires are always so much fun... expensive, but fun... haven't really found any food that I'd order again. I need to plan to stop somewhere for breakfast beforehand next time.

We go here for the Renaissance Faire and it's a hoot! Semi permanent structures add to the setting as you step into a fantasy world based on ye olde England. Some merchants, including food, only take cash.

WellSpan Park is a 5,200-seat baseball stadium that opened in 2007 and serves as the home of the York Revolution minor league team. Visitors praise the variety of food available, with particular mention of the delicious funnel cake. However, some find parking to be inconvenient due to distance and cost. The park is known for its clean facilities, friendly staff, and reasonable prices for both tickets and concessions.
Always have a great time at the York Revolution’s games. It’s a nice outing for the family and doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg to watch a good game.

Conewago Recreation Trail

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Hiking area
Outdoor Activities
The Conewago Recreation Trail, a 5-mile former rail line, offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, running, cycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. It connects with the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail to form a 19-mile network. The trail features shaded areas along the Conewago Creek and is suitable for easy recreation. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy meadows, trees, and creeks while birdwatching or horseback riding.
A beautiful 5 mile rail trail that is level, well-graded, and follows along the Conewago Creek. It is adjacent to some farmland, but primarily runs through wooded areas that occasionally offer glimpses of the Conewago Creek. The trail is a calm and beautiful walk that is one of the best spots in this part of the county to enjoy nature.
Rainer B — Google review
Great trail! Very well maintained and lots of shady portions! Wide enough for walkers, runners, and bicycles!
Earl D — Google review
stay away from this horribly maintained county rail trail. The pathway consist of very sharp 1 inch size stones that are guaranteed to rattle your dentures loose in your mouth. I do not know how joggers can run on this or mother’s push baby strollers. My recommendation is to stay on the Lebanon Valley side of the trail and you will have a much more pleasant experience. Lancaster County should be ashamed of themselves for the condition of this trail.
Steve C — Google review
We had a lovely hike along the trail. We saw someone painting the landscape, lots of birds, and someone along the trail told me when I was stopped there was a white wolf in the direction I was heading. We didn’t see anything once down there. My dog wanted to roam on the big open field so bad but it is private property and for archery.
Tia T — Google review
This is an awesome trail to walk especially for beginners. It's a total of 5 miles one way so it is adaptable for any fitness level. It is nice and wide and flat with nice scenery of farmland and corn fields. Because it borders the Conewago creek frequently you get to see a great waterfall about a mile in. The only negative thing that I have to say is that there are no restroom facilities but other than that I am definitely going back again with my mountain bike.
Denise W — Google review
Starting up the Conewago trail along the beginning, I saw you had a bicycle repair station and air pump. It was very impressive. Also the fall makes the trail absolutely beautiful.
Nick M — Google review
Too much of the trail has a large Stone gravel which makes for a Bumpy uncomfortable ride, but other than that the trail It's fine. As do most trails, It me Andrews through farmland and wooded areas which gives a good balance of shade and sun. Just be mindful of those stones embedded in the trail, OUCH!

Nice walking/biking/horseback riding trail. Ample parking and a very well maintained path. At the end of the trail it connects with the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail

Our family attended the zebra, ostrich, camel and horse races! We all had a wonderful time. The facility was clean and well staffed. We ventured into the casino after the races and cooled off playing some hot new slots. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will plan to come back again!

I have been here a few times and was recently there for the exotic races they do every year. Seeing the camels and ostriches race was a pretty cool experience, but was very drawn out. Other then that it is a pretty standard casino. The rewards program is kinda subpar in my opinion. You really do not benefit unless you have a huge bankroll for the average person.
