When selecting a Lancaster PA hotel, keep in mind that selecting the right location will make all the difference. What do you look for: proximity to family attractions, Amish Country, the city? So how about being close to all of the above?
Here are some things to consider when selecting a place to stay.
When visiting Lancaster Pennsylvania, choosing a hotel on Route 30 for your visit or a gateway is your answer.
Perhaps the most famous of all the US highways in Pennsylvania, much of PA Route 30 is part of the historic Lincoln Highway, the first paved transcontinental highway in the nation.
A few miles of the road stretch through Lancaster County, and the locals just refer to it as Route 30. This is where it’s all happening – starting with PA Dutch Country attractions to pack your day with fun activities.
If you want to learn more about the Pennsylvania Amish and Mennonite traditions, the Amish Farm and House, a fully-functional PA Dutch farm is right here. You can take a guided or self-guided tour around the grounds and farmhouse to learn about the Old Order Amish. To find out more about Lancaster County’s plain culture, you can visit the Mennonite Information Center, offering a free movie, exhibit, books, gifts and “step-on guides” for personalized tours of the Amish countryside.
Route 30 is home to many cultural activities, such as The American Music Theatre, which presents more than 50 celebrity concerts and holiday shows each year, and interactive educational centers, both for all ages.
For youngsters and young at heart, there’s a kingdom that awaits – Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park. It offers more than 30 kid-friendly rides, including roller coasters, water play, miniature golf and live entertainment, and it’s home to characters such as Duke the Dragon and the Princess of Dutch Wonderland, welcoming kids for special events designed to educate and entertain. Dutch Wonderland is a favorite PA Dutch Country’s attraction, and a family adventure you don’t’ want to miss.
For those who love good deals and shopping, Route 30 has 2 well-known Lancaster, PA outlets, but also a lot of local artisan shops. Thankfully, there are many restaurants along the road to help you recharge.
Once you’ve explored the pastoral charm, traditions, and attractions of the County, feel the urban and quaint scene of the nearby City of Lancaster and surrounding towns, just minutes from the Route 30.
