Then I found Turkey Hill Ice cream Experience only 30min away from Lancaster, and decided to visit. We bought the double scoop experience (comes with ice cream test lab) and obviously that was the highlight of the place! The test lab is about 45min experience and the whole thing with self-guided tour takes about 1hr 30min to 2 hours depending how crowded it is. The visit was fun and of course my 5-year-old daughter had a great time eating tons of ice cream!

Admission prices are reasonable, and who doesnt love unlimited samples of iced tea, and lemonade, icecream on a hot day. Vistors have a choice between one scoop, two scoop, or three scoop attraction. I choose one scoop; hilights of my visit- learning history of Turkey Hill, process of icecream being made, creating a virtual icecream flavor, watching the production , live from interactive camera in one of the exhibits. Be sure to take the few moments, to watch the introduction video. My favorite ice cream sample flavors were Graham Slam & Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake. An attraction must, well visiting Lancaster, PA. My recommendation would be too sell a few more flavors that you offer , with unlimited tastings. My favorite was orange icedtea.

It is very similar to Cherry Crest with a lot of the exact same activities, but the overall place is smaller and every thing is closer together. It is probably better for little kids than Cherry Crest because everything is close together and less walking. My kids especially loved the pig race and the hayride with the scavenger hunt. We would defintley come again.

But my favorite thing about this branch is that they have tons of non-book items for children that can be loaned out such as puzzles, games, theme backpacks, lacing cards, etc. I use them for the children I work with and these items have been a huge help to me. The only downside of this branch is that they have a small collection of books due to space. However, you can request books from other locations throughout Lancaster County.

I first visited this library over the summer with my granddaughter when we were looking for…read moresomething different to do. While it's smaller than the Manheim Township branch it has an excellent children's department complete with (at the time) a play store, bins of train sets, blocks, etc. and a few ride on toys. Noticeably less crowded and with a comfy chair for the caretaker, it's easily a place to linger while your child plays safely. In addition to the free play toys there's several computers for children (toddler aged up) with learning games and such. I tried to get her interested in some of the games but they didn't hold her interest and quite honestly they were pretty lame. At a recent visit we noticed the play store was gone and replaced with a play kitchen so I believe the larger toys are rotated. What I especially like about this children's area is the backpacks and clear bags full of themed activities that you can check out. Some contain books in addition to games and puzzles on that theme, while others are just games and toys. I haven't seen these elsewhere and while I believe they have a shorter check out period it's a nice change from the toys you might have at home. While I haven't explored the adult section of the library I have taken advantage of the magazines and newspapers you can read in house. Additionally they offer movies and new book releases for check out. In the lobby there are bargain paperbacks for sale and free magazines for the taking. Grab a calendar of events at the check-out counter as they also offer activities (reading related as well as crafts and fun events) for both children and adult alike. I'm excited to attend the Cat in the Hat green eggs and ham breakfast next month which required advance purchase as some of their events do. SIDENOTE: Closed Fridays. Very handicap accessible with a ramp at the entrance and everything on one floor.

One of the benefits of living in a small town is that a trip to the post office doesn't take long…read morenor does it raise your blood pressure. US Post Office here in Mount Joy is probably one of the most delightful mail experiences I've ever had. The staff (it's usually the same person every time I go) is friendly and congenial--they actually seem like that want to be there. Normally, there's never a line or only one other person being waited on. I did go the other day during the holidays to send a couple of packages and there were several people in line. However, by the time I took care of all of my taping and addressing my boxes, the line had diminished and I only waited for about two minutes for my turn to be up. When I lived in Suffolk, Virginia, the post office there closed for an hour during lunchtime and they had a larger staff. Well, Mount Joy is a much smaller town with a smaller staff yet I do not see any closures during lunchtime. Take that, Suffolk! Their hours are: M-F 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Saturday 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. There are PO Boxes but no 24 hour access (M-F 5am-5pm, Sat 5am-3pm, Sun-closed). This facility does not process US Passports applications or renewals. There is a small parking lot to the right of the building and there is also a drive-up mailbox there as well. Others Services Offered at this Location: * Bulk Mail Acceptance * Burial Flags * Business Reply Mail Account Balance * Business Reply Mail New Permit * Global Express Guaranteed® * Money Orders (Domestic) * Money Orders (Inquiry) * Money Orders (International) * Pickup Accountable Mail * Pickup Hold Mail * Lobby has Copier I'm taking off one star because the lobby is small and set up in such a way that it makes it difficult for people to move around the line. Obviously, it's not normally an issue, but still.

We had the Farmers Suite and it is perfect for a family of four with two younger children as the room has bunk beds which are very sturdy, safe, and will be a hit with the kids. Every morning after breakfast Galen will take the kids on a pony ride or a "train ride" around the property. They will also give you baskets to let the kids go into the chicken house to pick out the eggs every day and to feed their collection of goats and sheep. Not to be missed is the chance to watch and to try milking a cow. Galen, Eileen and their staff have created a true farm heaven that should not be missed. (The only big negative about going is that when you send a reservation request through their website a lot of times you do not a get a response for several days if at all without sending another request or sending an email asking about the status of your original request.)

All of the rooms are air conditioned and the whole house is extremely clean and comfortable. A huge farm, family style breakfast is included with your stay, where everyone staying eats together. We enjoyed collecting eggs from the hen house, feeding the baby calves, milking the cows, petting and feeding the goats, pony rides and hay rides. Couldn't have hoped for better hosts!

The property is not luxurious, but it is comfortable very well kept and there is so much to do to keep all ages occupied. The kids loved the animals, the open fields and trampoline.

At night they chased fire flies and created memories that will last a life time. For the adults Green Acres was tranquil and easy. Breakfast here is something that everyone must experience at least once in their lives. The tractor tour to the cow farm was incredible. By far one of the most interesting things a 'city' person could do to learn about how modern farms are run. Add in a nice walk to the local creek, trips to the ice cream parlour, Amish Tours and local attractions and we all had the most wonderful vacation.

Upon entry it is a skylit setting of a large number of jewelry display counters. Staff are amazingly attentive and knowledgeable. They offer something to drink and ask whatever they can do to make you feel comfortable enough to spend big bucks on beautiful jewels, watches and other elegant fittings. This is a beautiful store with beautiful expensive things. They are full service providing everything from jewelry cleaning, repair, replacement, sizing, whatever is needed to keep your jewels looking their finest. This is not free. These are high end professional jewelers who know what they are doing. Replacing a watch battery is $15. Making a ring a size bigger, about $125. Replacing a tiny stone and resizing, reinforcing prongs, about $225. If you love estate pieces as I do, there are 3 cases. A gold filigree type emerald ring surrounded by peridots was $1500. A large opal in a gold setting, $1600. A 1960s pink opal, $600. I have to say that skilled jewelers are harder to come by. To stock watch batteries when people don't even wear watches anymore, except us old folks, is no longer a Walmart counter service. If I was in the market for high end jewelry and wanted the lifelong service for my investment, I would be very secure doing business here. This is not a mall jewelry store with bright lights making every diamond seem to call your name. This is a first class, no kidding high end place where you get what you pay for.
