    Ok, ok. I'll be the first to review. I love this place. I love the people. And I LOVE those love…read morefeast buns. Lititz Moravian looks like a museum from the road, in fact - most people think that it is a museum. But if you venture inside, you'll find a bustling, mission working, community loving family. Moravian is similar to lutheran, believe Jesus to be God's son, died for our sins and saves us all. They love unconditionally, and have traditions that define them but do not break them. They're also Easter people, at 2am on Easter morning, the trombone choir walks around town playing loudly to announce that Christ has risen! I no longer live down the block from Lititz Moravian, but they will always be in my heart. Look them up, and if you happen to be in lititz, certainly stop by. In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things love.

    From the owner: Join Us at Lititz Moravian Congregation!…read more Lititz Moravian Church has been a place of worship since its consecration on August 13, 1787, serving Christ and the community for over two centuries. Steeped in history, Church Square is home to several buildings that tell the rich story of the Moravian faith. We invite you to join us for worship on Sundays at 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM. All are welcome to experience the warmth and fellowship of our congregation. Additionally, we offer self-guided tours of the church and cemetery grounds. For a more in-depth experience, you may also call the church office to schedule a tour with one of our knowledgeable guides where you can explore the history of the sanctuary, the Single Brothers' House, and other historical landmarks within Moravian Church Square. Come visit us and learn about the enduring legacy of the Moravian faith!

Then I found Turkey Hill Ice cream Experience only 30min away from Lancaster, and decided to visit. We bought the double scoop experience (comes with ice cream test lab) and obviously that was the highlight of the place! The test lab is about 45min experience and the whole thing with self-guided tour takes about 1hr 30min to 2 hours depending how crowded it is. The visit was fun and of course my 5-year-old daughter had a great time eating tons of ice cream!

Admission prices are reasonable, and who doesnt love unlimited samples of iced tea, and lemonade, icecream on a hot day. Vistors have a choice between one scoop, two scoop, or three scoop attraction. I choose one scoop; hilights of my visit- learning history of Turkey Hill, process of icecream being made, creating a virtual icecream flavor, watching the production , live from interactive camera in one of the exhibits. Be sure to take the few moments, to watch the introduction video. My favorite ice cream sample flavors were Graham Slam & Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake. An attraction must, well visiting Lancaster, PA. My recommendation would be too sell a few more flavors that you offer , with unlimited tastings. My favorite was orange icedtea.

They even give you a piece of pretzel dough so you can learn how pretzels were made back in the day. The presentation room can get pretty warm since the ovens are running. I was surprised to learn that you don't get to eat the pretzel you make--they only give you a pretzel-shaped bag as a keepsake. If you want fresh pretzels, you can buy them in the gift shop afterward. There's a small parking lot on the side as well as street parking. Overall, it's a good experience and a fun way to spend some time if you're nearby.

    If your a pretzel lover & find yourself in Litiz,PA , be sure to check this place out…read more The staff were very accomadating, when I had to change tour from July 3, to July 4 later tour in the day. Charlie, our tour guide made the history of pretzel & Sturgis family interactive, fun well learning history of oldest pretzel bakery. My favorite part of the tour was viewing the old style kitchen and oven. I love how the bakery stayed within the family. For me, visiting there production factory of other well known pretzels, felt like a piece of puzzle; into pretzel history. The tour itself $6, 1/2 hour long, 150 year old bakery, where the soft pretzel are still made. The decor,pretzel tree, and products were sold, with soft pretzels, made in house , and option to get cheese on the side. Side note: The location in Reading, PA , connected to bakery , has a catalog, to order pretzels, pretzel tins etc.. A must visit for Lancaster PA, on everyone list.

    We had the privilege of joining Bill and Bonnie on one of their horse-drawn carriage rides around…read morethe farm. Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

Didn't get handicap parking when we needed it. So we had to walk a good distance while pushing a wheel chair to get to the entrance. I didn't know they only accepted cash and not card so once I arrived to the ticket stand the lady sitting at the stand told me they had a ATM machine and where to find it but refused to let me use it, which I couldn't understand. When I asked if I could use it to pay for my ticket she literally laughed at me and told me no I could not use their ATM machine and would not tell me why, she then assisted the person behind me in line. Another lady approached me and ended up having a free voucher ticket and gave it to me. I don't have any plans on ever coming back here for any event that is held.
