1. Steamtown National Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 716 reviews
This small museum is all about steam engines and their contribution to America's economy in the 19th century.

If you love trains, this is the place to go! It's history is very interesting, and you can get right up close to view trains of different times. AND, you can ride one to another town, and back, which I would highly suggest!
2. Maiolatesi Wine Cellars
Overall Ratings
5 based on 37 reviews
Maiolatesi Wine Cellars is one of Northeastern Pennsylvania's premiere wineries and tasting rooms.
Reviewed By acnjcop - Galloway, New Jersey
Least favorite of all the Lackawanna County area wineries. Visited on afternoon of 4/20/17. Wines were very average. Tasted nothing worth purchasing, unlike other local wineries where multiple bottles purchased.
Staff was not very helpful, in fact were downright rude.
Location is in a strip mall in an industrial area with heavy, and dangerous, traffic flow.
Will not be returning.

We stumbled on this place last year and said we'd be back and so we did this year! It's a great place to spend the better part of the day with family and or friends. They have good for purchase which is reasonable and relatively good. There is pumpkin picking and park like areas with lots of stuff for the kids. Don't forget the animals which are well kept and healthy looking. The place is clean too. Take the family and enjoy! We will see you there next year too!
5. Circle Drive-In
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
The Circle Drive-in Theatre, built in 1945, is one of the longest running drive-in theaters in America showing first run features, suitable for all ages. Also at the Circle Drive-in is the Circle Flea Fair, the largest flea market and farmers market in Northeastern Pennsylvania; and the Circle of Screams, a new Haunt that is sure to scare you this Halloween.
Reviewed By Jolene B - Gainesville, Virginia
Every Sunday, the Circle Drive-In doubles as a large Flea Market with over 100 local vendors. We stopped at this flea market on our way from Gettysburg to Syracuse. It in the hills of Dickson City, PA and for 50 cents per car, is a good use of a functional Drive-In theater during the daytime hours on Sundays.
There were about 100+ vendors with everything from household items, to tools, antiques dolls, some furniture, bric-a-brac, clothes, new sunglasses, Avon, resale dry goods, etc. All vendors were friendly and were willing to negotiate prices.
The concession stand of the theater is open and offers the full array of theater food during the flea market. The restrooms attached to the concession stand are also open for use during the flea market.
If you are a bargain hunter or just want to stroll down memory lane, viewing items from your childhood, this is the venue for you. I would recommend this flea market to bargain hunters of all ages.

Worth it all just to stop in for a sniff and a sample...but its hard to stop there. What one can do with chocolate is quite sinful...and here is temptation after temptation. We always get more that what we want, and then regret we didn't get more!
7. Waverly Disc Golf Course
Overall Ratings
4 based on 1 reviews
Reviewed By 3ljp - Kingston, Pennsylvania
We were here over the weekend and it's a very nice and well maintained course. There are 18 holes and they are well marked. The course combines some open holes with some very tight wooded holes. Water runs along a few holes so you need to be careful to avoid loosing a disc. There are a limited number of parking spaces. This is a great place to spend a few hours enjoying the outdoors and getting some exercise.
8. The Electric City Trolley Station and Museum
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By John L - Medina, Ohio
I have never known much about trolleys. When I lived in Pittsburgh, you could ride the trolleys in town and across the Mon in the south hills, so when I visited the museum I learned about the cars, their propulsion, and those little details that humanize cold steel and wood. One of most interesting features of the museum is a ride on a five-mile (ten miles total) trolley out to Scranton's AAA baseball field. It was quite a trip. There is an excellent bookstore and gift shop. I highly recommend this. In addition, it is next door to Steamtown so you can get all steamed up in the morning and then ride in an electric streetcar. What a deal!
9. Lackawanna State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 32 reviews
Reviewed By chrid8 - Yonkers, New York
Our family went camping for three days (non/electric site) last week. The park itself is gorgeous, especially with the leaves turning color and falling with the breeze (although this makes it difficult to see the hiking trails which aren't that well marked). The walk-in campsite was secluded and private from our neighbors, though the ground wasn't quite level and a bit rocky-- although it might just have been the sites in our area. The bathrooms were very clean and the water was hot. Note that the park does not sell firewood or ice onsite; we had to travel a few miles for some very affordable wood ($5 for a huge bundle!). My two encounters with rangers found them to be a bit ornery and not helpful, but, otherwise, it was a great experience and I can see going back in the summer to check out the pool and lake.
