In addition to the excellent previous recommendations, I would suggest you consider taking the grandchildren to Hershey Park or Dutch Wonderland, Sight and Sound Theatre, Clipper Stadium for a baseball game, American Music Theatre, visit the Lancaster Science Factory, have an Auntie Anne's pretzel, an incomparable sticky bun at Mr. Sticky, a cheesesteak at Caruso's, dinner at John J. Jeffries, and shop tax-free for clothing at Tanger and Rockvale outlets. Loving food, I would be happy to tell you of my many other favorite places to eat in Lancaster. Lancaster Host Resort, Hilton Garden Inn and Suites, and the new Comfort Suites are very conveniently located. Two NON-chain and interesting hotel choices are The Lancaster Arts Hotel and the Cork Factory Hotel. I highly recommend a day trip to Gettysburg. If I can be of any help to you, you know the drill. Wishing you safe travels and great adventures!
