Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has all the ingredients for a great family vacation, starting with a town built on chocolate (who wouldn’t love that?), the World of Little League Museum and more than a dozen amusement parks and water parks. It also offers big-city culture – think first-rate museums, science centers, performing arts venues and gardens in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other lively urban centers. Venture outside the cities to go hiking, biking and boating in 121 state parks, and learn about the Amish in farms and villages. Don’t forget to explore the state’s pivotal role in U.S. history at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and on Gettysburg’s battlefields.
