Carlisle Barracks

Reviewed By Ridge66 - Woodbridge, United States

I attended school at the Barracks and it's a great place in US history. The LeTort Spring runs through the base and it adds to the greatness of Carlisle. Practice your bass catch and release in this beautiful place.

Dickinson College

Reviewed By 480darrelb - New Cumberland, United States

Always enjoy visiting the campus of my Alma Mater when we are in Carlisle. My most recent visits were when we were eating at restaurants in Carlisle. There are concerts, lectures, plays, etc. open to the public from time to time. The campus has changed and grown quite a bit since I graduated 40 odd years ago.

LeTort Spring Run and Nature Trail

Reviewed By Fantajan - Pretoria, South Africa

We lived a block away from this park for two months and were there almost every day for one reason or another. My husband and I would walk or jog the trail and take our son on his bike. It's a lovely, easy path through farmland and along the creek. You pass by old houses and barns. It's a safe place to get out during the COVID pandemic. We also enjoyed hanging out in the park, watching the baby ducks and goslings. There are picturesque spots for picnics and enough space to social distance. My son and I liked playing Pooh Sticks on the bridge. This is my favorite place in Carlisle, for good reason.

Saint Patrick Shrine Church

Reviewed By YpsilantiTraveler

This happened to be my childhood church 50 years ago, and when I returned for a visit to Carlisle recently i was delighted to see that it is beautifully preserved and still in use. (There is a larger, new church as well on the edge of town.) The Shrine Church is walkable from great restaurants and everything downtown Carlisle has to offer. You could stay nearby at the wonderful Carlisle House Bed and Breakfast or the Comfort Suites Downtown and never need a car at all. But visit St Patrick Church in any case, attend a service or just to look - the stained glass windows, paintings and statues are as beautiful as ever.

I love the lunch specials - the casseroles and soups are very tasty. I also love the pies - the strawberry pie and the peanut butter pie are my favorites. In the fall, I love all of the pumpkins, Indian corn, and gourds that they sell - beautiful selection.
