The Pagoda in Reading, PA

pennsylvania

Picture yourself in Greater Reading, where country charm sits crazy-close to city arts, entertainment,

and shopping. The result: a whatever-you’re-up-for getaway you’ll really GO for! Picture it: Festivals, fairs, and seasonal fun. Quaint

Main Streets lined with antiques and artisan-crafts shops. Minutes away, back-country roads offer dazzling natural beauty and

outdoor adventure. All this, conveniently located and steeped in a vibrant local culture, history and heritage.

Greater Reading: Crazy. Cool. Country. It’s GO time!…take it outsideLace up your walking shoes. Barrel down a mountain-biking

trail. Play by the water. Whatever the season, our region’s

spectacular natural beauty is waiting to be explored! Visit

Nolde Forest and French Creek State Parks and

Blue Marsh Lake to swim and picnic; take to the

walking, hiking or mountain-biking trails; ice

skate or cross-country ski. In late summer

and fall, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary,

ranked #1 Hawk Watch in the nation by

Audubon magazine, offers a dazzling

sight: 20,000 migrating hawks,

eagles and falcons soaring and swooping

through the 2,600-acre reserve.

…wine and dine fresh and local

Indulge your inner foodie at our farmers markets

— local faves include the West Reading, Penn Street, Boyertown, Fairgrounds, Renninger’s

Kutztown and Leesport Farmers Markets. Enjoy

regional delicacies there, and take home our bountiful

baked sweet treats, and fresh country meats and

cheeses. For a relaxing afternoon, tour the family-owned

wineries on the Berks County Wine Trail, including

Blair Vineyards, Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery, Long Trout Winery and Manatawny Creek Winery.

PICTURE YOURSELF...CRAZY. COOL. COUNTRY.

…get lost in a museumPreserving our history from the once-mighty Reading Railroad to the ever-

vibrant Pennsylvania Dutch culture, our museums blend education with

interactive fun. Take a walking tour of century-old locomotives at the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum. Experience turn-of-the-century Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch life at the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Museum at

Kutztown University. Visit an official Underground Railroad stop at the Central PA African American Museum. Explore art and natural history at the stately
