| What Resorts Are In Pennsylvania |
Mountain Majesty: Get Your Nature On
Ski Bunnies and Slothful Slotheses Welcome: Pennsylvania's got your back (or should we say, your skis?) with resorts like Seven Springs, Camelback, and Liberty Mountain. Hit the slopes in the winter, or go for scenic hikes and mountain biking adventures in the summer. Just be sure to pack for all four seasons – mountain weather can be a bit of a drama queen!
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Luxury Lodges with Million-Dollar Views: Want a little more pampering with your mountain escape? Omni Bedford Springs Resort and Nemacolin Woodlands Resort offer world-class spas, golf courses fit for a king (or queen!), and all the amenities you could ask for. Think fireplaces crackling, plush bathrobes, and maybe even a balcony overlooking a breathtaking vista.
Family Fun: Making Memories (Without Breaking the Bank)
Wet and Wild Waterparks: Looking to unleash your inner child? The Poconos are packed with resorts boasting epic indoor waterparks, perfect for rainy days (or just because!). Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari Resorts, and Split Rock Resort are all guaranteed to have the whole crew shrieking with delight (or maybe begging for mercy after the fifth trip down the Cyclone Slide).
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
All-Inclusive Escapes: Sometimes, you just want everything taken care of. Cove Haven Resort and Paradise Stream Resort offer all-inclusive packages, with meals, activities, and entertainment all wrapped up in a neat (and very affordable) bow. Perfect for a stress-free family vacay!
Bonus: Hersheypark Resort: Because, well, chocolate. Need we say more?
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
City Slickers: Urban Jungles Await
Casinos and Cabarets: Feel like upping the ante (pun intended)? Resorts like Mount Airy Casino Resort and Wind Creek Bethlehem offer glitzy casinos, live music, and swanky restaurants. Just remember, what happens in Pennsylvania, stays in Pennsylvania (hopefully not all your vacation money!).

Historical Charm and City Chic: For a more low-key urban experience, Philadelphia has a variety of resorts that put you right in the heart of the action. Explore historical sites, indulge in world-class cuisine, and catch a show on Broadway.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
So, You've Picked Your Paradise... Now What?
How to Decide: Consider your travel style! Are you a luxury seeker, a thrill-chasing adventurer, or a family on a budget? Pennsylvania has something for everyone.
How to Book: Most resorts have websites where you can snag deals and browse packages. Don't forget to check travel sites for even more options!
How to Get There: Depending on the resort, you might need to fly in or hop on a train. Many resorts are easily accessible by car, so renting a set of wheels might be your best bet.
How to Pack: Remember, Pennsylvania has all four seasons. Pack layers, comfy shoes for exploring, and a swimsuit (just in case!).
How to Relax: That's the easy part! Just breathe in the fresh mountain air (or city lights), and let Pennsylvania work its magic.
