Weird, wacky, and unequivocally uncommon is what Pennsylvania does best. Discover an array of unforgettable adventures for the whole family, whether on water or on land. You’ll be talking about it for years to come. GO ON SAFARI Hop in an open-air cruiser to ride across 150 acres of woodlands and wide-open spaces at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Halifax where you’ll see hundreds of free-roaming animals, from bison to elk. Then, explore the zoo exhibits to spot lions, tigers, monkeys, and more. At Keystone Safari in Grove City, see animals from around the world when you explore nearly 100 acres of the park in a custom-modified safari bus, and, while you’re there, don’t miss interactive experiences such as feeding the friendly giraffes. GO CAVE EXPLORING Near Hummelstown, Echo Dell, Indian Echo Caverns boasts subterranean rooms of geological marvels, intimate passageways, and a crystal-clear lake. After going on a guided tour, come back to the earth’s surface to pan for gemstones at Gem Mill Junction. At Penn’s Cave & Wildlife Park in Centre Hall, ride a boat through the country’s only all-water cavern and take a 90-minute guided tour of the farm-nature-wildlife park. At Hellertown’s Lost River Caverns, take a guided walking tour of five spectacular chambers of eye-catching crystal formations before heading back above ground to see rare fossils and gemstones at The Gilman Museum GO ON A PIRATE ADVENTURE Young scalawags can go on a summertime swashbuckling adventure when they board the Gateway Clipper in Pittsburgh where they’ll cruise the Three Rivers while learning their pirate name, picking up sword-fighting tips, and even walking the plank. Meanwhile, on the waters of Lake Erie, bring the whole family aboard Scallywags Pirate Adventures for tattoo painting, plenty of pirate’s booty, and interactive games. GO DOGSLEDDING Whoosh through snowy landscapes as you ride on the back of a snow sled with a team of huskies leading the way. Arctic Paws Dog Sled Tours in Shawnee on Delaware offers dog sled tours when there’s more than a foot of snow, so keep your eye on the weather report.
