Knoebels May-June would be your best bet. It's only about an hour, hour and a half from Reading. Variety enough for both ages. Inexpensive. Best food of the bunch too.

Bube's Brewery and their limestone cavern is a better experience, imho.

Close, I am going to Ft. Indiantown Gap but not coming from Rucker. I’ll add the civil war museum to list, and also spend some time at the capitol. I planned in going to Valley Forge as well, thanks!

Yes! Maybe pick up a few bugs while you are at it. Average buffet not worth the long drive, imho.

Does the PA House have a motion to vaccate?

There are still a few republicans who opperate in good faith. That's how Rozzi got the job in the first place.

On the bright side, Lancaster County is not far away if you want to see Amish clip-clopping around in their buggies. The City and its fantastic eateries is 40 minute drive south, although Troegs Craft Brewery is a decent place to spend some time.

When are you going to be here? Swatara Creek State Park is at the end of post. Gettysburg is about an hour or so. Valley Forge is an 1:15. Steamtown (National train museum) is 1:30 or so. Drive through Dutch Country and get your picture taken at Blue Ball and Paradise. Lots of smorgasbords in Dutch Country. Watch for shows at Hershey Arena. Civil War museum in Harrisburg.
That's a start. Enjoy Chicken Lickin.

Let me guess, you are coming up from Ft. Rucker to go to Ft. Indiantown Gap. There is a good Civil War Museum in Harrisburg. Pennsylvania's state capitol is one of the most beautiful in the country. The State Museum of Pennsylvania is also pretty nice.
The Cornwall Iron Furnace state historical site is nearby and it's pretty impressive. Hopewell Iron Furnace NHP is not too far. Valley Forge is a little but further but pretty good. Hawk Mountain. Historic Ephrata Cloister is pretty cool. Landis Valley Farm is great.
You're not too far from Lancaster for the Amish life.
Pennsylvania has some of the best rail trails in the country.

The Alabama State Memorial is a handsome piece of art located on South Confederate Ave just past the picnic area and before the dinosaur bridge ( you can see tracks on a few of the red sandstone caps). The 15th Alabama and a couple of other Alabama infantry units (forget which, maybe the 47th and a single-digit unit) fought the 20th Maine on Little Round Top, but that area is closed for major rehab work. Devil's Den re-opened just a few months ago. There may be a marker on Big Round Top to an Alabama unit but you have to look for it.

Surely *this* time the Republicans won't pull the football away.

They didn't close they were changing it, removing some rides adding stuff like Mini Golf and Batting cages and more green space. Rollercoasters still there. They still do Lights On The Lake for Christmas.
Probably for the best, from what I remember when was last there 10 years ago it was not in a good state and I doubt it got any better til they finally commited to updating it.

You are not too far from Pottsville, PA. The Yuengling brewery tour is pretty cool.

It’s open, but with fewer rides. Basically just Skyliner, Leap the Dips, Little Leaper, Go-Karts, and a few other small things.

Recommending a scenic ride through Amish country to see their horse and buggies, clotheslines, and scenery.

Not really considering Fetterman won. It's just people like you are gullible when it comes to thinking right wing Dems are more electable.

I used to visit Hershey Park yearly with my grandma and the other grandkids like 25 years ago…. I was there for the launch of the WildCat coaster, fun times.
