Looking for ideas what to do in Scranton or Poconos besides skiing and indoor water parks in the winter?

Scranton has a very nice train museum - Steamtown National Historic Site. Not sure what else is good to do there in the winter other than skiing and tubing at nearby Montage. We love Ricketts Glen State Park, but the hiking path is closed in the winter.

Dont remember the name but theres a great place that has everything out of ice and u can watch them do ice carving. We enjoyed it very much! They even have slides out of ice you can slide down.

It doesn't make sense for it to be closed in the winter! They sculpt all year round. I would call to confirm.

I confirmed that they are closed for the season. Houdinni Museum is also closed and the mines.

Steamtown national historic site (train museum) is open all year round. Fun for all ages.
Trolley museum also open
There is now an aquarium here too (very small scale)

Thank you all for your replies. I think we might skip Scranton and come a different season when more things to do.
