Family vacation spots in Pennsylvania?


Travel Info
I need something that the whole family would like. And part of Pennsylvania, the closer to NYC, the better.
And what are some activities that you can do in that area and nice places to go?

Thanks

As others have said, Hershey Park is a great place to take kids (www.hersheypa.com). Its about 3.75 hours from NYC.

Another place is the water park Camel Beach (www.camelbeach.com). Its only about 1.75 hours from NYC.

There's also Knoebel's (www.knoebels.com) which is rated as one of the best family amusement parks in the country. Admission to the park is free, of course you have to pay to go on rides, but its nice that adults who may not want to go on the rides aren't forced to pay. Its about 3 hours from NYC.

There's also the town of Jim Thorpe (www.jimthorpe.org) which offers alot of different things to do, especially outside activities like whitewater rafting and bicycling. About 2.5 hours from NYC.

You can also check out Dutch Wonderland (www.dutchwonderland.com) which is great for younger kids. Its about 3 hours from NYC. Its located in Lancaster, PA which offers alot of other things to do as well (www.padutchcountry.com).

Hope this helps! There are alot of things to do in PA, I'm sure you'll find something that suits your family :)

There is a great family resort in the Poconos called Woodloch Pines. You can check out their website at www.woodloch.com.
GOOD question. Same boat here. I have little ones going. SO I am thinking Sesame Place. but guessing on if that is right for whole family. Send your answers my way please. And I will send what I find.
Hershey Park! Gotta go.
I would second Hersey Park; Sesame Street is good for real little ones; Downey Park is Flat awful

To book it go to this site

the Promised Lands State Park in the Poconos is really nice for camping/hiking/fishing. Good Luck
