1. Swatara State Park

Reviewed By Mosslady53 - Myerstown, Pennsylvania
The local folks will know this Trail as Old State Road. Several years ago, it was repaired and renamed Bear Hole Trail as Swatara State Park was developed. This Trail is open to vehicles the 2nd Friday and Saturday of each month. It is also open the 4th Friday and Saturday in March, April, September and October. It is a one way drive and you enter at the Swope's Valley Road Trailhead and exit at Lickdale. Cars can easily manage the road, although you will share it with hikers and horseback riders. Today was a lovely day for the drive and the leaves were spectacular! Along the route is the fossil pit, the Bordner Cabin, and if you look close, some Union Canal locks. We try to drive through at least once a year in the Fall.

The Opera fudge...did not dissapoint! It was awesome! It reminded me of an chocolate covered ice cream bar...melted in your mouth! The carmels were amazing and they had an assortment of covered pretzels...which I did not try, but they sold the plain pretzels they get from a pretzel baker in town and they were awesome by themselves!
If you have a sweet tooth you have to satisfy and you want to try something than Hershey, check this local place out. Amazing!

This is a beautiful place to spend time with the family either by hiking, biking, exercising, or playing. There's a lot of areas that you can enjoy under the sun or in the shade. They have picnic tables throughout. The lake is there for fishing and canoeing. I'm not sure if swimming is allowed, it was still a bit cold for that so nobody was swimming. Will definitely go back for some relaxing time enjoying nature and family.

We were having brunch in the next town over on a sweltering day & phoned Michael on a lark, and he arranged for us to do the murder mystery 30 minutes later. It turned out to be the perfect diversion for three adults and three children ages 9-14. None of us had done an escape room before. Michael recommended the murder mystery, where you investigate a murder that actually occurred in the area in the 19th century. Michael is an engineer and he wired up the whole room (you can't tell though - except for the hidden electronics, there's nothing anachronistic) so it ends up being a multi-sensory experience, and you need to really explore and come up with creative ideas for how to solve each successive riddle. We solved it in 45 minutes with 4 clues (though I'm sure we could have done it in three in under the hour!). We're looking forward to returning for Three Mile Island and Houdini's Escape.

Hershey Gardens are beautiful. I would recommend going in the summer to experience it and all of its beauty.
Lots of flowers and they also have a butterfly sanctuary indoors. It is gorgeous. There are butterflies everywhere.
The grounds are well spaced and cared for. I would recommend going here.

7. The Blue Mountain Golf Course

The Blue Mountain Golf Course is beautifully laid out. Easy to get to being located within minutes of Interstate 78 & Route 22. It's picturesque views will embrace you as you play. Championship quality greens. The fairways are wide with minimal trees to hinder play. A few water traps, but not insurmountable. Sand traps never were an issue. Sporting four sets of tees, this challenging course offers players of every ability level to enjoy the game.
Amenities include, a driving range and a chipping and putting green to loosen you up before you hit the tees. The Pro Shop is average with a variety of golf items. The snack bar is adequate to grab something between the front and back nine. Greens fees with carts are reasonable. You can reserve tee times 1-2 weeks in advance. Appears that many local tournaments are played here.
Ended up playing here for the first time after Monroe Valley closed in July 2016. This is a much nicer place.

Took my husband for a surprise birthday tour on a Friday evening, where 6 of our friends met us at the Brewery. Took the 5$ tour first and it was very informative and interesting. We had several tastes along the way. Picked up a flight and something to eat, and settled in at a table to eat lamb, brisket and fries, sweet potato chips, Bahn mi. Chips were tasty but VERY salty. Everything else was good, but the brisket won hands down. Parking is limited although the new lot is large. Tasting room/food tables are large and noisy so be prepared for that.

This is our Saturday AM chill place after a rough week - once you start going on a regular basis, its impossible to stop. Great fresh food, coffee/drinks, produce, meats/cheese, yummy bakery items, ice cream - limited number of businesses but those that are there are really quality merchants with super friendly owners/staff at each stand, and you are guaranteed to find something there to eat that you love. This is a small hidden gem in Lebanon, and we all need to support our local businesses to keep them here. Oh, and if you think you are not a candy lover or you don't have a sweet tooth or you are dieting and will never eat sugar again, just try to get by Candy-rama without buying something!
