Tyler State Park

Reviewed By bernie1123 - Newtown, United States

I live within walking distance of Tyler Park and the Covered Bridge...nice walking trails, good workout up and down the hills. Nice place to bring your dog on a leash. Many dog folks dont abide by the rule of leashing their dog and it becomes an unpleasant experience if you have a dog that is anxious. So please be courteous and respectful and leash your dog..

Delaware Canal

A small stretch of the Delaware River: great for canoeing.

Reviewed By PeterWJr46 - Poughkeepsie, United States

This past week, my wife and I were able to ride the fourteen mile loop from New Hope to Washington's Crossing across to New Jersey back to Lambertville and the bridge to New Hope. The paths on both sides of the Delaware River and canals is relative flat and easily navigated. Be sure to bring a bottle of water. The ride is pleasant, but it is without amenities.

Mercer Museum

Managed by the Bucks County Historical Society, this museum pays tribute to Henry Chapman Mercer, noted archaeologist, antiquarian, artist and writer.

Reviewed By Brooklyn478 - Brooklyn, United States

The Mercer Museum in Doylestown PA was a new find and what as discovery! Interesting old castle like concrete building filled with artifacts about every aspect of the old world life where craftsmanship was key. What a collection with well described sections covering blacksmith to candle making to wagon making and even a small general store. Fun for the whole family. Check out all floors and also get the discounted combo ticket including Fonthill Castle Mercer ‘s home to complete the adventure! Staff is also very nice and helpful.

Kids Castle

Reviewed By js10018 - Doylestown, United States

The castle is a great structure in a great setting, It looks like a fairy-tale come to life and makes me wish I was young again. Clean and well-maintained, it is an integral part of the park and is the type of amenity that makes Doylestown and Bucks County great.

Get out and go shopping at Peddlers Village. Lots of shops and eateries, easy free parking and lots of people without the riff-raff. Peddlers Village is fun to just stroll and people watch even if you don’t feel like shopping. Big Thumbs up for this attraction.

Ringing Rocks County Park

Reviewed By EDLichtenstein - Wynnewood, United States

What a unique place. If you have young kids be prepared for at least an hour of climbing around a boulder field banging on rocks with a hammer (don't forget to bring your own). Many boulders ring when you hit them, and climbing from rock to rock to found the different sounds entertained my boys (6 and 8) for quite a while. When you get tired, find a flat boulder and enjoy the snacks you brought along (you did bring snacks, right?). After you should follow the short trail down to the waterfall for more boulder hopping fun. Get there early as the parking lot fills up. Better to go on a non-weekend if you can.

Pennsbury Manor

Reviewed By Tetor22 - Southampton, United States

Step back into the late 1600's at the Manor House of William Penn, along the Delaware River. Tour begins at the modern Visitor Center. Inside, there is a theater showing a short film about the beginning of Pennsylvania and William Penn. A small museum and gift shop are also in the Visitor Center. On display are artifacts found through excavation, which are proof of the Lenape Indians and the Penn Family presence. There are about 10 out buildings surrounding the main Manor House, which depict life on the plantation. A blacksmith, cook house, boat house, brewery and stable house live animals and presenters dressed in Colonial costumes. On site, there are a number of special outdoor gardens; such as the Kitchen Garden and Bee-Keeping Garden. Walk onto Penn's front lawn to see the rushing Delaware River and the Manor's beautiful landscaping, designed by Penn himself. All of the volunteers and presenters were well-informed, eager to share stories and handsomely dressed in their period garb. We completely enjoyed our experience and visit to Pennsbury Manor. About three hours are needed to take it all in. Parking is ample and free of charge. On most days, there is a modest charge for admission; and some days are free for everyone. Special events are scheduled throughout the year - such as Historic Trades, Animals at Pennsbury, Tall Tales and Brewing in Colonial times.

Garden of Reflection 9/11 Memorial

Reviewed By 990justinw - York, United States

This is probably one of the best 9/11 memorials I've seen. A piece of steel from the World Trade Center is at the entrance. Going around the loop are glass panels of all the victims of the attack, with a keystone symbol next to those who were from Pennsylvania. At the center are the names of those killed from Bucks County. Definitely a place to pay respects to those lost that day.
