Lancaster

Lancaster needs 1 day: touring Dutch Wonderland, a medieval-themed amusement park designed for families with young children, and visiting a working Amish farm in the surrounding county, where horse-drawn buggies can still be seen on rural roads, the same afternoon. April-October brings the mildest weather for touring the countryside. It's inexpensive for the US Northeast. Lancaster County has the oldest Amish community in the United States, established since 1710, whose members reject electricity and cars by religious choice and still live off farming just as their ancestors did.
