1. Dutch Wonderland (Lancaster)

I know you've heard of kids theme parks before and maybe you've even been to some but let me tell you this place is so much better. It's always clean, never crowded tons of food options located all around the park and rides for all ages heights and abilities. The summer water park is refreshing and the winter lights shows are a blast.
2. Green Dragon (Ephrata)
955 N State St, Ephrata, PA 17522
It's hard to live in Amish country and not know about Amish markets, but this one tops them all. It's so big, there's everything. My kids like it for the petting zoo. I love it for the deals. My husband loves the gallons of ice cream.
3. Yogi Bears Jellystone Park (Quarryville)
340 Blackburn Rd, Quarryville, PA 17566

This place is such a great option when it's too cold to be outside but you need to blow off some steam with the kiddos.
9. Timber Wolve Lanes (Oxford)

10. Tubing down the Brandywine (Chadds Ford)
1 Hoffman's Mill Rd, Chadds Ford, PA 19317
If you're not from the area know that tubing is something that all of the SEPA folks do, but my personal favorite is the Brandywine River. You can hop in wherever you want depending on the length of the float you want to take, but I like to hop out at the Brandywine River Museum. There' some cute eateries near there too, in case you didn't pack enough snacks and have a change of clothes, and don't forget to check out the museum while your there, its full of artwork from local artist James Wyeth.
