    My wife and I have been on many Segway tours on our trips. This tour rates right up there as one of the best, most professional, and very informative. First of all, Al did an amazing job as our safety person. He was very attentive and kept a close eye on everyone in the group in order to keep us all safe as we had to cross some Gettysburg streets. He brought some snacks and water for the group, which we all enjoyed. Our resident historian, Joe, blew us away with his deep knowledge of all the Gettysburg battles. Such a nice and caring man, which made it very easy to ask all the questions we had. The way he told of the battles was like being taken back in time. This is a top notch professional business.

    - Coolest tour I've ever done
    Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historical & Heritage Tours • Vespa, Scooter & Moped Tours
    
    
    My wife and I, along with four of our friends, did the evening covered bridge tour. Our guide was Brian. From the very beginning Brian was welcoming, friendly, and talkative. He made us feel at home and I really appreciated the free water to take on the ride. Our entire tour included 6 scooters and I believe three scoot coupes. He taught each group individually (scooters first, then he moved on to the coupes). It was well organized, and his ability to manage a group of that size safely was great. Every Rider received individual training/guidance if they needed it before hitting the road. The tour was absolutely beautiful. Everyone in our group was all smiles the whole time. The bridges and history are fantastic. All of us agreed that we would be doing another tour. this is a great way to experience the area and it is a fantastic memory to have. See more..
    
13. 5.0 Hickory Hollow Horse Farm (1.377 reviews)
    - A fantastic experience! Three generations a grandmother, two 30 year olds and a 7 year old all had a fantastic ride.
    Horseback Riding Tours
    
    
    We went as a group of four. Hickory farms accommodated everyone from a seven year old to his grandmother with appropriate horses. My grandson got very nervous during the safety briefing but the staff was excellent; professional, clear directions with a kind firm manner was all he needed. As he fell asleep on the night of his ride he proclaimed "best weekend ever." Thank you Sarah, Pam, and particularly to the very kind lady who ensured that my grandson had a safe fun day. The only way the tour could have been better was if the historical guide had given a condensed "Cliff Notes " version of the battle before going into great detail. I have read four books on Gettysburg and have an interest and still got bogged down in two hours of details (without the personalities of the generals being more prominent in his talk.) A great day. Thank you all! See more..
    
14. 5.0 Refreshing Mountain (1.333 reviews)
    - Fun 5 Package
    Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 AM Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks • Sightseeing Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Horseback Riding Tours
    
    
    We had a wonderful experience at Refreshing Mountain. The cabins were clean, the pedal cars, zip lining, and outdoor tree adventure were so much fun. However, we purchased the Fun 5 pack and by the time we finished three of the activities, the reptile room and farm animal experience were closed for tours. We were not able to reschedule, since everything was booked during our stay. This was disappointing. As a party of 10, we felt a credit or refund should be given. See more..

16. 5.0 Confederate Trails of Gettysburg (1.294 reviews)
    - Excellent tour & people!
    Tuesday: Historical & Heritage Tours • Walking Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Horseback Riding Tours
    
    
    What a great time! Three of us showed up for the horseback tour of the battlefield and we were not disappointed! Right from the start, the staff at Confederate Trails put you at ease with their quick wit but were serious about safety and telling you what you needed to know about your horse. The earpiece to listen to the guide was great as we were in the front of the line and he was in the middle. I already knew a bit about the battle, but he taught me a few things I didn't know! The horses were sweet and polite and the length of the tour was just perfect. I will book again for sure! So glad I found this gem of a horseback riding experience in the beautiful setting of Gettysburg! See more..
    
17. 5.0 White Water Adventurers (1.146 reviews)
    - As good as I remember them being
    Tuesday: River Rafting & Tubing
    
    
    I used to rent whitewater rafts from White Water Adventurers back in the 1980's and planned a reunion trip with friends and family on the Lower Yough. Their rental prices were extremely reasonable, the staff was helpful, and they made the whole process very easy. Charlie did a very good job with his safety talk -- mixing vital safety information with enough humor to keep people's attention. He was low-key and yet inspiring. The online waiver form is a bit of a pain and probably asks for more confidential information than is necessary for its purported purpose. That would be my only suggestion. See more..
    
18. 5.0 Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides (1.076 reviews)
    - On topic through thunderstorm
    Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Historical & Heritage Tours
    
    
    Guide Larry K. was beyond amazing. He led my group on a detailed tour of the action on and around Culp’s hill. During the introduction atop the hill, a strong thunderstorm blew through. With rain falling and large branches coming down only feet away you’d think the tour would get cancelled. Larry didn’t miss a beat! Detailed accounts of the battles and the engineering that went into the breastworks of the hill relayed in exacting fashion. The weather only slightly improved over the remainder of the 2hr tour but Larry’s enthusiasm was never drenched. I can’t say enough about the experience. If you want to learn about Gettysburg, get yourself a licensed battlefield guide. See more..

    - Fun but difficult hike!
    Spent 2-3 hours State Parks • Waterfalls
    
    
    We came to hike the Falls Trail. It was a wonderful hike, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t young or in very good shape. Don’t be scared off by the cantankerous rangers. The Falls Trail is beautiful even when the water is low. If you want to do a shorter hike, it takes about 2 hours to go down to Waters Meet and back to the parking lot at Lake Rose Trailhead.

    Beautiful views of the terrain and Devil's Den below. When you put things in perspective and picture the scene below as a Union general from the Maine brigade watching the approaching outnumbered Confederate troops, it is chilling to imagine the loss of lives on both sides in one of the bloodiest battles in Gettysburg. You can walk a trail up to the top or drive. It can be quite crowded in this area with buses and even Scout troops. See more..

    Excellent food tour! This was the fifth food tour we have taken and this one rates right at the top. Out hostess Gayle did an outstanding job. She was knowledgeable of the area and history. She was entertaining as she took us through the tour telling us local stories and mixed it all in with some humor at times. The various stops offered us a nice variety of foods and the restaurant specialties, as well as a libation stop! And Gayle ,if you get to read this, thanks for not losing patience with my sister, who did the tour with us, as I think she sat on a cactus that morning! I highly recommend this food, but give yourself plenty of time to get there, as the area is quite congested as you near town. See more..
    
28. 5.0 Penn State University (630 reviews)
    - best years of my life
    Educational sites
    
    
    P.S.U was one of the happiest days of my life. It is out in the open near mountains. Wish I would have had time to go on nature walks. However, I spent some days walking 3 hours to classes. The classes in the freshman and second level classes were way too crowded. Glad to have gone to PSU Lehigh Valley in Fogelsville where I started a choir for credit and it was extremely personal. What a financial bargain that is and that is how I would recommend you start or community college till you get used to it. The smaller classes in the upper level were fantastic. i took a course on flowers and we identified them by microscope. I never remember having so much fun learning. See more..

    Our family of four booked a premium guided tour of the lower Yough on a Thursday. My husband and I haven’t rafted for 20+ years, and our kids (12 and 15) had never gone before. We had an AMAZING experience. Brandon was our guide and expertly steered us through the rapids - we were just the “motor” and he would tell us when and how to paddle. It made the trip stress free so we could focus on the fun of the rapids and relax on the quiet parts. We also stopped at Cucumber Falls, which was a short hike from the river. If you decide to hike, make sure that your water shoes have good treads because some of the rocky spots are steep and slick. Brandon brought us bottled water and Gatorades and we ordered boxed lunches a few days in advance. Our youngest loved the trip so much that she wants to go back for her birthday in a few weeks. Highly recommended! See more..

    - Must see for flower lovers
    Gardens
    
    
    I visit the arboretum every time I visit State College, twice a year at least. The place is different each time, with seasonal blooms brightening the day. Beautiful lotus pond. Plenty of signage for those who are curious about plant names. They just opened a new section designed for attracting pollinators. Tucked around behind the restrooms is a paved area which is etched to represent the local watershed, showing all the local creeks and rivers. Interesting perspective. The children's area is well laid out and should prove stimulating for young kids. There are plenty of shaded and sunny benches scattered throughout the arboretum. Best free attraction in town. Note that construction has just begun on the new art museum next door, so the free parking lot no longer exists. Park next door for $1 per hour. See more..
    
33. 5.0 Lapp Valley Farm (506 reviews)
    - Best Milkshakes!!
    Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Farms
    
    
    While staying in a rental about 35 minutes away we frequently visited this place. I definitely gained a few pounds from the delicious milkshakes. My favorites were vanilla, strawberry and raspberry. Also - Milkshakes are easy for the kids to enjoy when they are in car seats - little mess. Also, the milk and chocolate milk were delicious. The chocolate milk tasted like a shake in itself. We visited during the pandemic. I was surprised to see the crowds packing the outdoor seating not wearing masks. Needless to say we stuck to the drive through when ordering. Weekdays are definitely less crowded than Saturdays but still quite a few people. On a weekday we also walked the kids over to the cows to get a closer look. Worth checking it out if you’re in the area. See more..

    This was such a beautiful ride through the base of the PA Grand Canyon. It lasted 2 hours and was $40 per person. It was well worth the money. The man who was the guide was excellent and very personable. I would recommend sitting in the rear of the wagon if possible; I think those were the best views and got pictures without the other people in them. Recommend. See more..

We collected eggs from the chicken coop, seen ducks and turkeys and took a wagon ride around the farm. This is our 2nd time at Old Windmill Farm and we will continue to return every trip to the area! The owners are wonderful and so sweet. All the animals very well taken care of and happy. It is free for children 5 and under, personally I’d prefer to pay 3 and over as the experience is more for the kiddos anyways. This is very much worth your money. See more..

    Tours are given in small groups of no more than 6 with headphones so you can hear the guide over any noise from machines. Tyler, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable. It was fascinating to see the various stages of assembly performed by people who were experts at their part of the process. Some steps were less clear - necks suddenly became attached to guitars without seeing anyone do it - but for a 50-minute tour, we saw a lot of magic. The museum is also very intestesting. The receptionist who greeted us was friendly and welcoming, and there are several guitars available to play. See more..

We are located in the heart of downtown York, with free parking behind our building, two comfortable lounges for up to 80 people, four different meticulously designed escape room experiences, and a glorious Virtual Reality Parlour!

(You are not actually locked in.) "Showdown" is a unique "double room" where two groups both compete and cooperate through a set of jail bars as they race to escape! Escape games are an escape from the phone and the mouse! Come EXPERIENCE the exhilaration of Escape Games Live! See more..
    
43. 5.0 GettyPeds (307 reviews)
    - Rent a GettyPed! They are a MUST!
    Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historical & Heritage Tours • Gear Rentals • Vespa, Scooter & Moped Tours
    
    
    I have been booking GettyPeds for several years now and it is a MUST when we visit Gettysburg every year! This is a family-run business, and they are the nicest most accommodating people. Book a 3-hour excursion and you will be able to cover the entire park with time to get out and explore. You can rent by the hour which makes it nice though in the event that you don't have a lot of time to spare, but you can still have some fun riding around in the coupe! This is the best way to see the park and they are easy to handle. Can't recommend them enough! See more..

    - Guided trip on Lower Yough was highlight of vacation!!!
    Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sightseeing Tours
    
    
    Great company to run the Lower Yough with our family, including 3 teens. Our guide, Keith, was amazing... although we all had whitewater experience before, having the guide was super helpful and made for a more enjoyable trip (strongly recommend paying the little extra to have guide in the boat!!). Can't recommend Ohiopyle Trading Post more highly. Thank you!! See more..

    My fiance, myself and my 9 year old daughter all live within 30 minutes of Lancaster and have experienced most of the Amish experiences (which are not really authentic), but this experience was different, I finally had the opportunity to sit down to a home cooked meal by a wonderful Amish woman and have a great conversation with the family. My 9 year old loved joining the kids in a soccer game after dinner. Phil was our guide and was so knowledgeable about the area and the Amish. I can't wait to take more of LoKals excursions. What a great way to spend the evening! Thanks so much Phil! See more..
    
50. 5.0 LumberjAxes - Millvale (257 reviews)
    - A great time for all!
    Tuesday: 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Game & Entertainment Centers
    
    
    LumberjAxes is Pittsburgh’s first competitive axe-throwing venue. Yes, competitive axe- throwing is a thing. It’s huge in Canada. At our rustic warehouse in Millvale, adults of all skill levels can try their hand at it. You and your friends, coworkers, or wedding party get a lane and take turns throwing at a target. It’s sort of like bowling, but without the silly shoes. And with way more axes. See more..
