he Lehigh Valley has whatever you are looking for—action or relaxation, history or

music, art or exercise. We have our own world-class amusement park, a nationally –

known music festival, theaters, museums, one of only a dozen operating velodromes in the

United States, plenty of parks and green grass for picnicking, and an abundance of covered

bridges!

The Lehigh Valley is near the Poconos, the seashore, Atlantic City, Dutch Country,

Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Within a 30 mile radius, antique shops

and flea markets abound. New Hope and Peddler’s Village in Lahaska offer many antique

shops as well as the Bucks County Playhouse

The Pocono Mountains offer nationally renowned skiing, camping, hiking, dining of all types,

mountain biking, rafting and canoeing, golf, shopping, hunting, and more! Thousands of

acres of forest provide a nearby “get away from it all” vacation spot. You can explore Hickory

Run State Park, boat on Lake Wallenpaupak, enjoy the scenery of Delaware Water Gap, and

ski at the Blue Mountain and Bear Creek Mountain ski areas. Many hotels in the Poconos

specialize in honeymoons.

Within a three-hour radius, Lehigh Valley residents can find some of the best beaches and

seashore vacationing available anywhere in the continental United States. New Jersey,

Delaware, and Maryland all offer outstanding ocean side vacation spots; many of which are

nationally famous. Extending from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, to Ocean City, Maryland, is a

strip of seashore towns catering to young and old. Sand, surf and sightseeing abound along

the Mid-Atlantic Coast, and Lehigh Valley residents have easy access to all three.

Pennsylvania Dutch Country presents a bit of unique Americana centering in Lancaster.

Experience the Plain Folks’ way of life at The Amish Farm, view a failed communal living

experiment at Ephrata Cloister, visit Dutch Wonderland, the Strasburg Railroad, and

Roadside America. See how some of the world’s best candy is made in Hershey—and enjoy

the amusement park while you are there! Step into a different time as the horse and buggies

trot up the roads. Shop at the many

gift and souvenir stores, check out

the outlets, and don’t miss the

Renaissance Faire. There is

something for every member of your

family in the Dutch Country!
