Stuff to do around Carlisle, Philadelphia?

[Silver03Vic]

Going to use up some vacation time shortly and go out to the Carlisle Truck Nats I think. Probably visit some places in Philadelphia on the way back too. Been searching online, but some online reviews and suggestions are useless as tits on a bull, and I know alot of folks on here are around or have visited the area. Want to spend a few relaxing days out there so I'm looking for some stuff to fill up free time, lol.

Im up for any suggestions. :beer:

what kind of things are you looking for?

[Silver03Vic]

Well, strip clubs are a no-go.

Going with my girlfriend, Lol.

Already planning on going to the Philly Zoo, some random car museum, some go-kart place, maybe Centralia, I dunno.

I'm pretty open to suggestions as long as its within a couple hours drive.

I'm not too good on tourist attractions, but if you tell me what you want to eat I'll tell you the best places to get it in Phila. :)

Hershey and Harrisburg have a lot stuff to do. Gettysburg is close and the Harley-Davidson plant is in York.

Philly (couple hours) isn't particularly close so if you do Philly you will want to stay in that area.

Google "What's to do in the Carlisle Pa area" and see what you get.

On a side note I understand the truck show can get rowdy so just a heads up.

Carlisle has the US Army Heritage Center
Hershey has AACA museum and Hershey Park
Allentown has America on Wheels Museum
West Chester has a helicopter museum
Philly would be the meutter museum(medical oddities)
Camden has the battleship New Jersey

Centralia is basically empty streets, nothing more, its a little freaky, but highly overrated

Yeah, the plan tentatively is to stay in Carlisle a couple nights, then a night in Philly.


Rowdy?

Ill look into some of those places tomorrow, some of them sound great. Thanks guys.

if you like big steaks (20oz.+), at a very reasonable price, the Glass Lounge in Harrisburg is great.

Shaby on the outside, crowded on the inside, but the steaks are to die for.

Hi Silver03Vic

How about Indian Echo Caverns (http://www.indianechocaverns.com/) in Hummelstown? You could slip in on your way to the Antique Automobile Museum (http://www.aacamuseum.org/) at Hershey, they have a display of English motorcycles on at the moment if you are interested in that sort of thing :)
