There are two must see exhibits at the Visitor Center. The giant Electric Map uses lights to walk you through the whole three day battle.

The Cyclorama is a dramatic 360 degree painting depicting Picket's ill-fated charge across the wheat field. Take a bus tour or a self-guided auto tour of the 26 miles of park roads.

The full trip will take you from Philadelphia and Valley Forge then west through Lancaster and York and then to Gettysburg. Pennsylvania was very active in the anti-slavery movement and this tour will bring to life the stories and places where ordinary people with extraordinary determination changed our nation’s history.

This 30,000-square-foot destination spa uses the natural spring water in all of its treatments. It is one of only a few spas in the country that can boast of this unique amenity. This vacation idea will have you partaking in a relaxing curative treatment that has been used by native Americans for centuries.

You will be bicycling in and around Laurel Mountain and Chestnut Ridge Mountain and through the beautiful and historic areas of Fort Ligonier, Linn Run State Park, Idlewild Park, and Compass Inn. This cycling vacation with a distinct historic flavor is a great Pennsylvania vacation idea.

There is also plenty of opportunities for downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. Try Lake Wallenpaupack for some excellent ice fishing and ice skating. The Poconos is also a very popular romantic getaway spot.
