Wake up in Lancaster County
Family Fun Itinerary

Day 1

All day
Start your Pennsylvania Dutch experience with a family visit to Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park, Lancaster County's very own "Kingdom for Kids!" Offering rides, entertainment, shows, shopping, beautiful gardens and fantastic food, there is definitely something for everyone!

Evening
For dinner, bring the entire family (and your appetites) to one of Lancaster's famous family-style Pennsylvania Dutch restaurants for some hearty traditional fare, or enjoy any of our casual family eateries for a quiet meal. After dinner, don't forget to treat the kids to some sweets and treats!

Overnight
After your fun and exciting day, get settled in at a Lancaster County working farm and experience a fun, fresh, family vacation like no other in the countryside!


Day 2

Morning
After a comfortable night's rest, devote the whole morning to the working farm experience. Rise and shine to help with the various chores including feeding the farm animals and gathering eggs.  You will surely work up your appetite so afterwards, enjoy a hearty farmer's breakfast that's full of great food and great conversation.

Afternoon
Take the kids out for a fun day of exploration. The possibilities are endless! Check out great family museums, make your own souvenirs at the Make-a-Friend Workshop, sample your way through a pretzel house tour, or work your way through one of the corn mazes! You won't believe all of the great things to do!

Evening
Grab your baseball glove and experience the thrill and excitement of a Lancaster Barnstormers game at Lancaster's own Clipper Magazine Stadium! If the ballpark's not for you, sit back and enjoy the show at any of our wonderful theatres - from musicals to comedy to history and more, there's plenty for all to enjoy! 


Day 3

Morning
An Amish buggy ride awaits you! Sit back and relax as you clip-clop along on your tour through the farmland. With experienced local guides who know just where to turn, it's a great way for your family to witness the Amish lifestyle and see Lancaster County in a whole new light!

Afternoon
Visit Strasburg, where the entire family will find plenty to enjoy! Known fondly for its amazing railroad history, Strasburg's the place to take in trains large and small.  That's not all, though.  Stroll through the quaint downtown, enjoy lunch or a treat at an old fashioned ice cream parlor, enjoy a round of mini-golf, and much more! With such wonderful family activities, it'll be the perfect end to your family Lancaster County weekend!
