OT: Knoebels back to Phila?

[ChrisAlli]

Any suggestions??

We're going to Knoebels on a Friday, staying overnight and coming home Saturday.

I'm trying to find somewhere, something to do, see on the way home. I have no idea what is between here (philly burbs) and Knoebels. Our kids are 5 and 3. I guess I could see what we pass on the way out, but I'd like to have a plan?

Any ideas?

What about the Crayola factory? or something in the Poconos, I know there are waterparks at some of the ski resorts or there is a Great Wolf Lodge, dont know if you can use the facilites if you arent staying there.

Depends on which routes you are travelling - if 78/22 then Cabelas in Hamburg is a great stop for everyone. Farther out 78/22 just past the turnpike is Dorney Park in Allentown (although another theme park after Knoebels may not be that fun). The Game Preserve/Lehigh Valley Zoo is about 20 min. north of Dorney, it's relaxing & nice, not too big either. If you're heading out 78/22 to 611 then Lost River Caverns in Hellertown (I live 4 miles from there!) or the Crayola Factory in Easton. Do you know the routes you're taking?

I know we're taking the PA Turnpike to somewhere.

We've looked into Cebalas, I have two nephews coming with us and they've been there and even though we're not sure excatly what's there, the boys said it was fun.

My DH and BIL were also looking into the Yuegling Tour. We're trying to figure out if the two are doable in the same day and if it's actually reasonable close to each other.

Anyone know?

Just east of Lancaster is Strasburg Railroad w/big old locomotives. We went when our boys were 2 & 5 on the way home from Hershey Park and did the open-air car and we all loved it.
