Lancaster County is a beautiful city! I would definitely visit Hershey Story immediately because I am a great chocolate lover! My kids would probably be delighted with Refreshing Mountain.J
The next time we visit my husband’s family in PA, we’ll make sure we visit these places with the kids. It looks like real family fun time there!
This is a good guide to Lancaster County. It seems to offer something for everyone – whether food lovers, or sports enthusiasts or adventure seekers or fun for kids! We have been to US but not to Pennsylvania as yet. So , adding it to our list for the next time. And, yes, we love chocolates so a visit to Hershey Story will be mandatory 🙂
Ziplines and the Science Factory for the win! Honestly, a science-based attraction is what we sorely need in my city. My kids are science buffs so if we get to travel, we really go to science museums.
Looks like a lot of great family activities to do! Haven’t spent much time in Pennsylvania but I’d probably head to the Hershey place. 🙂
Lancaster County seems perfect for a day trip or weekend escape. I would love to visit one of the original Hershey stores in PA. I attended one in Las Vegas, and they are so touristy and fun! Also, Refreshing Mountain looks fantastic! PA has tons of fun things to do I see. Thanks for such a great write-up. I’m adding Lancaster County to my bucket list adventures.
This is awesome! There is so much for the entire family to do in Lancaster, PA. We are heading up that way for a wedding in a few weeks…we will have to check this place out.
Wow, you’re right, there is so much to do in Lancaster County! I especially love the sound of Refreshing Mountain. I clicked on your link and checked them out, and love so much of what they offer. We are going to something similar here in the UK in September.
I love Lancaster County! My parents actually moved there a couple of years ago. This is a great list! The Wolf Sanctuary in Lititz and the Strasburg Railroad in Ronks are great as well!
