Lancaster Attractions & Entertainment

When people think about Lancaster County and the Pennsylvania Dutch Country,
they usually think about the Amish. There are many ways to explore
and learn about the fascinating Amish culture and lifestyle here.

However, people often are unaware of the diversity of attractions and other things
there are to see and do throughout Lancaster County. Our many unique attractions,
our historical heritage, the excellent food, the shopping, and the fun activities
for people of all ages often cause visitors to stay longer than they had planned.
And it is this same diversity of attractions that bring them back here again and again.
Many people return here year after year because of all that this area has to offer
amid our peaceful country setting.

So, come get away from it all...
...and to all that we have waiting for you throughout
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania!
