We had a blast and escaped the Alchemy Lab!! The staff made the experience super fun, engaging, and immersive so it felt like we were really stuck in Miles Finch’s lab! Captured LV took all the necessary precautions for COVID-19 and we felt very safe. Would highly recommend doing an escape room here!!

Just below Main Street is the old Bethlehem. A nice trail meanders along the river and showcases all the different industrial businesses that once made Bethlehem an industrial powerhouse. Packed into about a half-mile stretch is a wealth of American history. You can easily spend a few hours exploring the grounds, and it's all FREE!

We pre-bought our tickets for this museum and the Kemerer. Saw this one first. Our guide was very informative and you could tell she loved the museum. She gave us history of the Moravian Church as well as showed us the trees that the Garden Club put together for Christmas. The theme was Designers to go along with the Pursonality display that has been in the Museums this year. We learned about the Putz as well as the Sister's house. A couple that was with us had done this tour in the fall and said it was worthwhile even without the Christmas trees.

Terrific museum in the old Electrical Machine Shop of the Bethlehem Steel works. Some incredibly well-preserved pieces of American industrial history, including an old Corliss machine that has been restored to working order and is run at special events. Knowledgeable and obliging staff, a number of whom volunteer their time. The museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian.

Take an old steel plant and make it into an arts venue and you have the coolest, eclectic event and arts center that makes you proud to be a part of the Lehigh Valley. So much to do from movies, to concerts- both small and large, plays, food, drinks, learning, art, you name it. I just love everything about Artsquest.

What a special visit! We are newcomers to this local museum, and we fully intend to return soon. Dorothy, our tour guide, shared the historical background of the museum as well as in-depth information about the thoughtfully displayed art / textile pieces. It was most interesting to see first-hand how art / textiles evolved over the years. The current special exhibit, "Personality," offered a vast assortment of handbags. Note: It is truly an amazing private collection. We throughly enjoyed our experience.
