I traveled from READING, PA. The event coordinator couldn't even be flexible and belittled me basically saying if would've read there "policy" I would know I wouldn't get a refund, which is irrelevant, I didn't care about getting the refund, I saw empty plots alot the street YET they weren't willing to get me a spot. I will be sure to NEVER EVER EVER give my money to this organization EVER again. Gas money wasted, time waisted, belittled as though I'm mentally challenged by the coordinator.

The Brandywine Festival of the Arts is a must for art lovers of all kinds. All over the park…read morevendors are stretched out in tented rows offering jewelry, paintings, carvings, you name it. All of the vendors I've encountered we're welcoming and eager to discuss their craft. One vendor I really enjoyed talking with was David Souza. His wood turnings, a medium I passionately adore, were utterly beautiful. There are some bowls there that I would love to have. For now I scooped up the cutest spinning top that was among an array displayed in all sorts of colors and patterns. The $5.00 admission is good for both days and entry to the zoo. So if you go home and decide you simply can't live without that exquisite hand turned wood bowl with lid well you can go back and get it (note to self). There is a food court were all the food trucks are set up and a large tented seating area or you could sit down by the creek and enjoy the view. The festival also has live music and a kids activity corner. The festival is dog friendly and vendors set out bowls of water in case Fido gets thirsty. Also noteworthy is the fact that they have shuttle buses. I just found this out after coming here three years. As a matter of fact people were boarding one as I was leaving. I don't know why I didn't inquire because there is quite a steep and long hill you MUST travel down to get to the grounds. By the time I scaled the hill back to my car I was a hot, exhausted, sweaty mess but overall an excellent experience.

They have fun rides for the kids and some more exciting rides for adults. Mind you it's not Hersheypark or what Walt Disney World, the rides are small and a bit rickety, but it is a fun time for a small-town. The zipper, roundabout, swings, etc. The fair usually starts midweek and runs through Saturday night. On Friday each year they have a good fireworks display at about 9 PM. Like most small fairs, you can buy single tickets, books of tickets or a wristband that's good for the night. Although it's quite expensive to buy the wristband, you'll go broke trying to ride rides with tickets so just pony up for the wristband and have a good time. Plenty of food, but rides on an antique firetruck, and more. Note that this is really a kid centric event. Of course as an adult you could go and do the bigger rides, but there's no alcohol served and you will be surrounded by mobs of teenagers.

This spot is kids paradise. I planned most of our day here and my kids still didn't want to leave…read more I typically saw this spot whenever I rode the Strasburg Railroad. We typically would do their Christmas Train, and rarely got back to Lancaster in the warmer months. As soon as I planned my latest summer trip, I knew it had to be on the itinerary. This place has it all from gigantic slides to gold mining sluice areas to a mini kids village that mine couldn't get enough of from the mini vet office to the drive in theater. It was really impressive. From here, you can make your way up the hill where there is a restaurant, a coffee kiosk with a delicious coconut water cold brew (wild!), and plenty of shaded sections with swinging chairs. You'll find paintball, basketball, skee ball, a pedal cart for the family, launching devices. I mean, there is a lot! The place is large so it never felt overly crowded. Come with water bottles. Even with the shaded sections it gets hot. They have water fountains by the bathrooms.

Such a fun farm to take your family. I've been coming here…read moresince my daughter was about 4 years old- she's 14 now. Everyone we come, it does not disappoint. It's such a great time. Buy tickets online- tickets are cheaper. If you go during the week- it's cheaper too! They also have 50% off for active military and veterans, which is a great deal! They have all kinds of games, tug of war ropes, a play area/little town for younger kids, pig races. Some nights they have fireworks or bands. If you come- the corn maze is a must! All types of food vendors like burgers, fries, chicken fingers, ice cream and apple cider donuts. You can spend hours here and not get bored. They also have for pit and picnic table areas you can rent out and they provide logs and sticks so you can roast marshmallows or hotdogs. Definitely recommend this farm.

So much fun! Lots of variety of food and arts! Must go ... add it to your calendar! Glad I wentread more

I can't believe it took me so long to visit Longwood Gardens, but I finally visited with my husband…read moreover this past weekend, and I can now agree with everyone who recommended it me - it's incredible. Longwood Gardens is a public garden, but it has to be one of the best in the country. It's huge (more than 1,100 acres) and incredibly beautiful. We arrived around 11:00 am on a Saturday, and it was already getting crowded. Be aware that Longwood is popular! If you arrive during peak hours - especially during certain times of year when they have special attractions, like around Christmas - it will be crowded. You might even have to park in a parking lot further from the visitor center and take a shuttle. But at 11:00 am on a Saturday - the first day of August and quite hot - we had plenty of parking available to us in the main lot when we arrived. We pulled up our tickets, which we had bought ahead of time online, and walked right through the visitor center to the gardens. Given it's so large, there are several areas to visit. We decided to do more of the outside areas first to visit them before it got hotter or more crowded. Then we had brunch at 1906 Fine Dining and continued exploring the areas closer to the restaurant. The highlights of our visit were seeing the Italian Water Garden, the Flower Garden Walk, the Chimes Tower, the Eye of Water, and the Waterlily Court. All of these spaces were incredibly beautiful. Depending on the time of day you visit, something else I'd say that cannot be missed is the Main Fountain Garden Performance. Booming classical music came out speakers I couldn't even see while the 1,719 jets of the main fountain put on a show to the music. It was incredible - completely amazing. (This is running daily at least through November 1, 2026, and when we were there it ran about every 2 hours.) If you're there in the evening, there's the Illuminated Fountain Performances on most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (also through November 1, 2026). (There are a few more summer nights with fireworks shows at the fountains this year, so if you're interested in that, check out their website for the dates.) We had a lovely lunch at 1906 Fine Dining (separate review for that) - but there are other options for dining if you're looking for something more casual or less of a splurge. I really enjoyed exploring the gardens for the first time. Something I look forward to is that Longwood changes with the seasons. Summer isn't my favorite (I'm grumpy in hot weather), so I look forward to visiting in spring (flowers!!!) and fall (colors) - even winter. It was still a wonderful experience in summer, even if a little hot for me. But Longwood is a treasure. Now that I've been, I look forward to returning.

Longwood Gardens in the summer is absolutely gorgeous! We spent about 3.5 hours there on Saturday…read morebut easily could've roamed for longer--we saw the main fountain garden, east and west conservatories, children's garden, waterlily court, chimes tower, eye of water, canopy cathedral tree house, and Italian water garden. The fountain shows are super impressive--I would highly recommend timing your visit to see at least one if you're there on a weekend (we saw both the 11:15am and 1:15pm, they each last about 10 min. You can view from the main conservatory overlook area benches or down by the biggest fountains by the pumphouse. They play music and it's just incredible. There also are tons of water falls everywhere! Very nice and well maintained, not buggy. Everything is beautiful. There were tons more to see but we grew hungry! I would just caution to eat beforehand as the food options here are overpriced (think $7 for a bowl of soup)
