Things to do in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Fun Activities & Games
Pennsylvania Dutch country is a fascinating destination to explore. Visitors will get a glimpse of farm life as it was in the early 1800s. Visit markets and farm stores for homemade shoofly pie and fresh produce, or shop for a handmade quilt. President James Buchanan's elegant home, Wheatland, is no less historic but contrasts sharply to the simpler Pennsylvania Dutch heritage sites in Lancaster. Consider a side trip to nearby Hershey, home of Hershey Park and the Hershey chocolate factory.

I brought my U16 field hockey travel team over the weekend to participate in an escape room and they had an absolute blast. Listening to them interact and work as as a team was so important for team bonding. I emailed the facility prior to our visit and they were overwhelmingly accommodating at assisting with my reservation. We will be back next time we are in town!!

Our team (5 of us) visited the Tavern room today at Escape on Queen and our host was so great with us. None of us had previous experience and the Tavern is apparently the most challenging of their rooms. We were all amazed at the great detail and intricate clues involved in this process. It was very well thought out and challenging. The room was a delight to be in and was well accessorized to work with the theme. While we missed solving the room in the 60 minutes allocated, we loved ever moment of the experience and look forward to trying other rooms @ Escape on Queen!!

We recently decided to take a drive to Lancaster, PA. Enjoyed a movie at this unique, comfortable theater, then a meal after the movie at the restaurant. The service was great and so was the ambiance. The socca mushrooms as an appetizer and the different dipping sauces; delicious. The shrimp sliders were more actually better than I expected. My husband had the Peruvian steak sandwich, which he said was cheesy, tasty and filling. We also were served nicely seasoned popcorn while we waited for our meal, which didn’t take long. Would definitely return.

Go N Bananas is a great indoor activity center. The flat price options are certainly worthwhile. There is no charge for adults which is nice. The woman at the front desk was very helpful with determining which package was most suitable for each child (based on height and ability). The place is extremely clean. My kids loved the soft play area and the bumper cars. An adult can ride the bumper car with a child that's not tall enough to reach the controls, which means that even toddler can get to enjoy this fun activity. The toddler is very nice and clean as well with ample seating for adults to watch their kids play. The arcades can get pricey, but that's no different than other arcade areas. My kids weren't tall enough for the laser tag or mini ropes course but both looked like nice attractions.

We had a great time. Location is in a beautiful mall. The lady at the desk was very friendly and explained everything to us prior to our experience. The room we chose was Save the Universe. Two adults with 9+11 year old. We played by ourselves which was perfect/ no one else booked our room & no one to race against which was fine for our 50 minutes. She provided us clues ( free clues) and we asked for additional clues as we had a few. We ???? didn’t solve in time but she gave us a chance to finish up and solve our puzzle in the end. We also took cool pics with their props!! Would do it again for sure. Maybe take a chance on being a walk in, just didn’t want to disappoint my kids in case it was booked. Most places need advance booking. We also took advantage of eating at a restaurant onsite and shopping while there.

Nice place for kids and adults alike. Well sanitized and not crowded. You will definitely enjoy it. Though you have to pay for the socks $3 each. Got a groupon that made it cheaper.
