| What To See In Pennsylvania |
History Buff? We Got History!
Independence Hall: Walk the same halls as our Founding Fathers and feel the revolutionary spirit. Just try not to geek out too hard while signing your own Declaration of Independence (they don't provide the quill, BYOQ).
Gettysburg National Military Park: History buffs, this one's for you. Immerse yourself in the hallowed grounds of the Gettysburg battlefield, a turning point in the Civil War. Just promise not to reenact Pickett's Charge...traffic's bad enough as it is.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
Eastern State Penitentiary: This once-groundbreaking prison is now a chillingly fascinating monument to the history of punishment. Just don't let the whispering voices of Al Capone (who wasn't actually here) spook you too much.
Nature Lover? Get Your Hike On!
The Poconos: Breathe in the crisp mountain air and explore the scenic peaks, glistening lakes, and charming towns of the Poconos. Just be warned, after a day of hiking, you might find yourself saying "pocono" to everything ("How's the weather?" "Pocono good!").
Fallingwater: This architectural masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wright looks like it's cascading down a waterfall (because it is!). Prepare to be amazed by the perfect harmony of nature and modern design. Although, navigating the staircases might leave you feeling a little waterfall-en.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Ricketts Glen State Park: Hike through a series of jaw-dropping waterfalls and emerald green forests. Just keep an eye out for bears (figuratively, they have a mascot black bear, not actual roaming grizzlies).
Foodie? Get Ready to Feast!
Reading Terminal Market: Foodie paradise! Get lost in a labyrinth of local vendors selling everything from Amish shoofly pie to fresh seafood. Warning: you might need to loosen your belt a notch (or two) after this.

Philadelphia Cheesesteaks: It's practically sacrilegious to visit Philly and not devour a cheesesteak. Just choose your preferred team: Pat's or Geno's? Whichever you choose, prepare for a messy, melty, magical experience.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Chocolate in Hershey: Calling all chocoholics! Hershey is a land of pure chocolatey bliss. Tour the Hershey factory, visit Hersheypark amusement park, and stock up on enough Hershey's Kisses to last a lifetime. Just remember, moderation is key (or maybe not, we're not judging).
