Take a 45-minute ride on the nation's oldest short-line railroad or wander through the halls of The National Toy Train Museum or The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Strasburg and the surrounding Lancaster County are also home to the Amish, making it possible to visit a traditional Amish Village, ride in horse drawn buggies, shop for handmade goods, and try the cooking of the Pennsylvania Dutch.

Choo Choo Barn

Over 70 years in the making, this gigantic model train layout is still owned and operated by the Groff family. Master modeler, Tom Groff, designs and adds new animations, scale buildings and local scenes each year. See a fire engine race to the rescue to put out the fire at a burning house – with real water! Watch in awe as night falls over Traintown, USA. You’ll recognize local landmarks like Dutch Wonderland and the Strasburg Railroad – in detailed miniature! This is much more than a train display – it is an amazing, hand-built work of art.

All I can say is "wow", we were not expecting such an amazing and expansive model train layout. There were so many cool details, many so intricate or seemingly natural to the surrounding elements they almost seem hidden. We did the scavanger hunt and went around a couple of times to see as much as possible. Spend as much time as you want, and come back later same day for no extra charge. Even though we did not have children, my wife and I really enjoyed it and was worth the price of admission without question.

The Amish Village

The Amish Village is an authentic look at today's Amish lifestyle. Located on 12 scenic acres, The Amish Village lets visitors experience an authentic Amish property, including a one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, smokehouse market and more. To begin an understanding of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture, The Amish Village provides a 25-minute guided farmhouse tour. A 90-minute back roads bus tour is also offered to take you off the beaten path, past working farms and along country roads where buggies roll along and farmers work their fields.

A group of us were visiting Lancaster and are so glad we decided to stop in for a tour at the Amish Village on our last day. We chose the premium package and had two EXCELLENT tour guides on both the bus and house tours. They were super knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. It was awesome to learn more about the Amish community, see and pet some farm animals, and also get some souvenirs from the couple of gift shops that were available to us. Would recommend for all ages!!!

Village Greens Miniature Golf

Village Greens Golf combines the challenge of golf with the natural beauty of lush gardens to create a unique recreation experience for all generations to enjoy together! Two courses cover over 13 acres of beautiful Lancaster County, PA countryside enhanced with gorgeous gardens and meandering streams. The shorter 18 hole Orange course offers quaint obstacles in a spacious garden alive with color. The expansive Gold Course occupies a secluded, wooded hillside. The natural terrain supplies all the challenges amid the beauty of a manicured garden paradise. Both courses offer a true putting surface on grass carpet, as well as being lighted for night play. Village Greens' courses have been nationally recognized as one of Sports Illustrated's "25 Summer Essentials". The courses are consistently voted #1 by readers of local and regional publications. The Snack Shoppe features grilled sandwiches and yummy fries. Old fashioned hand dipped milkshakes or whipped cream topped sundaes are a favorite, but a huge Village Greens banana split is the ultimate ending to a wonderful visit! Dining is available inside or out on the umbrella shaded patio. Located in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country and just outside the historic borough of Strasburg, Village Greens invites visitors to the area to "Play a Round With Us!".

The Gold course earned its reputation as the most difficult on our visit. Beautifully landscaped course with lots of running water. Where else can you play 23 holes on one course? Call for a tee time and enjoy yourselves. Also has AAA discount.

Old Mill Antique Store

Reviewed By cherylh903 - Durham, United States

We were greeted with big smiles and friendly hellos as soon as we walked in the door. The main aisles were wide and clear and there were only a few cluttered booths (we just walk past those because it isn't worth tripping or breaking something trying to get to the things in the back). There were also a few very narrow booths that you had to go sideways to get into. The layout was good and you won't feel like you are getting lost. There were so many unique pieces here. You will also find furniture, china, glass, kitchenware, awesome collectibles, art cast iron, vintage jewelry, ceramics, quilts, and so much more. There are lots of stairs and I'm not sure if their was an elevator or not.
