Hi I know a lot of people go to Pennsylvania Dutch Country in the summer and I was hoping to get an updated list of
coupons
discounts
ideas
reviews on places
I'm going for the 4th year in a row but my kids are a little bit older and I would love to try new stuff.
If you are going to, let us know what you did and how it went!

I'm following this. I went years ago when I had 2 young children, and haven't been back since. Now my kids are 10-16. What do you recommend?

Does HersheyPark still do half-price admission for the last 3 hours of the day? I'm also planning on visiting Lancaster at the end of August.

Which farm gives kosher milk at the end? I never heard of that one!

Kosher milk? Sounds like Kreider Farms: http://kosherfactorytours.blog......html

Yes, in parts. There are also these huge fans to cool you off and an area that rains on you. The eating areas are shaded. And I believe the nursing room is air conditioned!

I've never done longs park. I can say that my kids LOVE cherry crest even though it's a little hot there.

(If you want to do a big amusement park but save on admission check out Knoebels - it is an amazing park - about 1 hour drive from Harrisburg and 3 hours from Lakewood - all the big and small rides, but you pay per ride. Where a big park would have cost my family close to $250 we spend just over $100 - and went on every ride we wanted and there are few lines).
Krieder Farms makes Cholov Yisroel milk, but I never heard of them giving it out after the tour, maybe that is new?
Perrydell farm is a free cow milking farm in York.
Lake Tobias - Fantastic Animal Safari\zoo\petting zoo outside of Harrisburg
Verdant View Farm - Hands on tour of a farm
Codorus State Park - rent a large pontoon.
Utz or Herrs factory tour
