Saturday is peak day in Lancaster County, when farmers markets, attractions, and Amish country experiences all run at full swing.
Start the morning at Root’s Old Mill Flea Market or Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market, both bustling with vendors, fresh food, and local crafts on Saturdays. Families can spend the day at Dutch Wonderland, Choo Choo Barn’s massive model train display, or take a ride aboard Strasburg Rail Road. For a closer look at Amish life, Amish Village and Amish Farm and House both run guided tours and countryside bus routes on Saturdays, while Sight & Sound Theatres stages its full scale biblical productions.
History and science lovers can spend Saturday at the North Museum, Demuth Museum, or Barry’s Car Barn, and thrill seekers have Laserdome, Morr Range, and Refreshing Mountain’s ziplines and escape rooms all open. Shoppers can browse Kitchen Kettle Village’s 42 shops, Good’s Store, or dozens of Amish furniture makers like Peaceful Valley Furniture and Kings Amish Furniture, all running normal Saturday hours.
Need to plan dinner too? Casey Jones’ Restaurant, Log Cabin Restaurant, and Shady Maple Smorgasbord all welcome Saturday diners.
