Travel and holiday guide

Pennsylvania is one of the those states that has plenty of things to do, if you know where to look. I recently made my way to Lancaster, PA, which is located in the south central part of the state. When you think southern Pennsylvania, many people may think that there is not much to do, but that could not be further from the truth. There are literally tons of museums, shows, activities for kids, and so much more, so i decided to write this short article detailing some of the many things to do.
One great place to take your children is the National Toy Train Museum, located just outside Strasburg. They have a variety of toy trains, dating all the way back to the early 18th century. It's actually a part of a larger museum which houses full size trains from the late 1800's, but the smaller version for the kids. Ticket prices are normally available at reduced rates, and the museum is open practically everyday except monday.
Another cool thing you can do is visit Dutch Wonderland, one of the largest amusement parks in Pennsylvania. Home to such thrilling rides like "Astroliner" and "Crazy Plane", your kids will go bonkers for this place! It is a seasonal establishment however, and is normally open from May through October. Ticket prices are reasonable, and parking is completely free.
For the adults, you may want to check out the Lancaster Brewing company, on North Plum street in Lancaster. They have one of the largest choice of hand crafted beers on the east coast, and their dinner menu has received rave reviews from some well-respected newspapers. Try the chocolate covered strawberry stout, or relax in their fine dining atmosphere. You can also learn about their rich history, or even schedule a wedding or party.
For the more adventurous, there are plenty of other things to do such as skydiving, whitewater rafting, and a round of golf. One of the most exciting things is go on a hot air balloon ride. You can soar swiftly over the lush landscape of Lancaster in a hot air balloon for as little as $240 a person. For those that have never been on a ride, it is one of the most awe-inspiring things you can imagine. There are several well-known providers in the area, who are dedicated to providing a safe a reliable ride.
