Lancaster, PA: Do It Local

Lancaster, home to the Amish, and the shopping outlets. It's known for many things - the quiet calm Amish lifestyle, the busy shopping outlets, and also the Sight and Sound Theater. The town has so much to visit and explore, and can also be turned into a lesson on how the Amish live or on farming and agriculture. Many homes offer a peak into how the Amish live, and offer tours of these homes, and it's very interesting and educational. Adults and children alike would enjoy this town.

A shopping village with 32 distinctly different shops. It's a shopper's dream. From jams and jellies, to home made quilts, they have it all. Often they have bands playing outdoors while you stroll and shop. It's a quaint village full of charm.

a peaceful, romantic getaway located in the heart of Amish Country in Lancaster County. Some of the unique aspects of this B&B are that they provide fresh cookies each day, they are kid-friendly, which is rare in the B&B world, having a trampoline in the backyard for children and adults to enjoy, and the decor is lovely as the floral and lace is not overly present, which gives this B&B an updated, yet cozy feel. The hosts, Lynn and Bob, take an interest in getting to know their guests, which I really appreciate. One night while we were there both Lynne and Bob sat and talked with us for about 1.5 hours, discussing their lives and sharing stories about visitors who have passed through the inn, from all over. So why go? - Kid Friendly! Friendly Staff! Great Location!

It's a great restaurant with tasty food, and something for everyone! It's on the pricy side, but coupons are often available, which is nice. This is one of the better smorgasbord's in the lancaster area, in my opinion.
No, you are not misreading this, it's really 5 courses, and it's delicious!

To shop and get some AMAZING deals. People say that the outlets have the best prices, and they aren't lying. The outlets offer great deals and discounts on everything from under garments and sneakers to fine china and furniture. It's a great place to go for holiday shopping, or with money leftover from holiday extravaganza's.
In the heart of Lancaster is this small creperie and cafe, but it's a must visit. Rachel started this creperie inspired by the French menu item, the crepe. Every item comes presented in a crepe. You may think this is not filling, but that would be wrong. Each menu item that we tried was delicious and filling. . . and make sure to save ... More >
