Byers' Choice Christmas Gallery

Reviewed By westie8213 - Westlake, Ohio

I collect Byers Choice Figures.. have been doing so for over 30 years. I started with the original Carolers and they have since added many new things to their line. For example, the Kindles, Christmas mice, etc. So, to be surrounded by hundreds of them for me was truly an experience.

It was fascinating to watch the artisans at work from an upstairs viewing area..13 individuals have a hand in creating these dolls. There are no two dolls exactly alike because of so many people working on each one.

There is a short introductory film and then free self guided tours are offered from Wednesday to Saturday from 10 until 4:30. Then, it's time to shop in the Emporium! There is one spring figurine, a lady in a lavender print dress with a big straw hat that can only be purchased at this store as a token of thanks to the many visitors.

Mennonite Heritage Center

The Mennonite Heritage Center tells the story of the oldest continuous Mennonite community in America. Over 12,000 items are preserved and used to tell the local and Mennonite stories. The current exhibit features the 18th century immigrant experience as well as stories of recent arrivals. The Center houses a genealogical center and research library, archives, a permanent exhibit open 5 days/week, a gift shop, and a fraktur gallery (an early form of ornamental writing and decoration). Rotating art and history exhibits fill two other galleries. A 30 minute introductory video is provided for visitors. A list of available traditional arts workshops, bus tours, and other events is available on the web site. The annual Apple Butter Frolic is held the first Saturday of each October and is a staple of local history, PA Dutch food, and agricultural life. The Christmas season brings the fine craft sale and Christmas market with work by select artisans. The Whack and Roll croquet tournament brings local nonprofits together each spring.

This is an excellent source of information for anything Pennsylvania Mennonite related, or really, for local history. The displays are well put together and all the volunteers friendly and knowledgeable. There are also archives available for more extensive research. Great used book sale near the end of the summer, too!

This is a great working farm to bring the family. They have fresh milk and milk products along with many other items available in the store. They also have seasonal plants and food for sale. It is fun to visit the animals while you are there. They also have a great Halloween display with hay rides, mazes, etc.

Kids Castle

Reviewed By Dorothy S - Los Angeles, California

Incredible - and free- humongous play structure for kids and big kids at heart alike. Massive four story structure with two giant slides, climbing galore, a place to picnic and tons to see/explore. Little kids have a nearby area, but be prepared to chase them as they chase the older ones. Don't come when too hot (no shade) but a great place to visit w kids in Bucks County.

Freddy Hill Farms and Family Fun Center

Reviewed By Wayne W - Silver Spring

My wife and I are always looking for mini golf during our travels and we found this place in Lansdale PA,about 20 miles outside Philly. Choice of two different mini golf courses,one harder than the other. Nice and clean. Farm animals are in pens but easily viewed. Plenty of choices of ice cream flavors which is weighed by the oz to be paid for. I got Vanilla Peanut Butter and Caramel praline. Was very good! Grounds are clean,benches to sit on for families outside and indoor seating as well.

We went so that the children could tour the factory and buy chocolate. We should have called prior to going, which is what the staff recommends. But we looked around the shop and found plenty to purchase. I appreciate the fact that they have the...MoreWe're sorry to hear that the factory wasn't working that day.

Sellersville Theater

Reviewed By KuhnsGuy

Seating is tight and the theater is very drafty, particularly if you are seated near a door. However, the theater is quaint and inviting as well as intimate. Shows are moderately priced and affordable for most everyone. Drinks and food are available before the show but expect to pay a premium. Seats are ok, a bit uncomfortable but doable. Great venue to enjoy a concert or event with friends without breaking the bank

Peace Valley Park

Reviewed By Mark V - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

We've been going to Peace Valley for decades. Lake galena was where I learned to windsurf before they ruined the launch area. You can still rent rowboats and canoes. A six mile walking trial is perfect thought a few hills will get you working. The nature center is a treat.

Picnic areas are nice and I understand you can reserve them for family picnics, etc.

Biggest problem is bicycling around the lake has gotten to be a struggle because of the poor condition of the trails and others with baby carriages and strollers have complained as well. Once upon a time it was fun for roller blades, too, but forget it now.

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and sampled a few beers and were very pleased with our selections.
The server/bartender was friendly and attentive and provided suggestions regarding beer and food.
We would love to return and try the other selections of beer and food offerings.

Suspenders Bar & Grill

Reviewed By David_Valaika - Harleysville, Pennsylvania

Just a little, very local pub with a surprising good kitchen! Lots of good eats, cold beer, nice people, just a 'Friends" sort of environment. Nothing impressive, and flannel shirts are part of the dress code, but you won't be disappointed in your experience
