Suburban Lancaster is the area just outside Downtown Lancaster’s city limits, and it’s packed with regional entertainment, family attractions, dining, and hotels that make it a convenient home base for exploring the whole county.
Dutch Wonderland anchors the family fun side with over 35 attractions, while Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre and Sight & Sound Theatres offer live entertainment paired with a full meal. Thrill seekers can spend the night at Field of Screams, USA Today’s #1 rated haunted attraction, while younger kids will love Tiny Town’s indoor playtown or Bounce Kraze’s inflatable park. Oregon Dairy rounds out the farm fun side with a restaurant, market, ice cream shop, and the Barnyard Express train ride through the working farm.
For lodging close to it all, Hilton’s cluster of properties, Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites, and Spark by Hilton, sit within walking distance of each other off Route 30, alongside Courtyard by Marriott. Eden Resort & Suites brings its own dining scene with Arthur’s Terrace, Bistro 2two2, and Encore Lounge, plus a monthly Sunday brunch voted the county’s best.
Craving something more upscale? Greenfield Restaurant, led by former White House chef John Moeller, is worth the short drive. And if you’re flying in, Lancaster Airport sits just six miles north of downtown.
