The Mercer Museum in Doylestown PA was a new find and what as discovery! Interesting old castle like concrete building filled with artifacts about every aspect of the old world life where craftsmanship was key. What a collection with well described sections covering blacksmith to candle making to wagon making and even a small general store. Fun for the whole family. Check out all floors and also get the discounted combo ticket including Fonthill Castle Mercer ‘s home to complete the adventure! Staff is also very nice and helpful.

We were looking for a quick day trip and decided on visiting Doylestown. Fonthill Castle was our first stop and we were very impressed. We enjoyed hearing of the quirkiness of Mercy, the design and building of the castle, the amazing tile work and careful itemizing of each tile, stories of Lucy the horse and Rocco the dog. Our tour guide, Peter, was excellent.

Every day is Christmas at the Byers' Choice Gift Shop and Christmas Museum located in scenic Bucks County, Pa. Step back in time to Victorian London as you explore the Christmas Museum. Walk along cobblestone streets as you peer through the windows of shops and homes filled with Christmas displays. Inside the Victorian theater guests can view a short film about the company's history. The Museum is open year round and admission is always free. Visitors to the Emporium have the chance to witness first-hand how the Carolers® are born. From the observation deck, guests can watch as Byers' team of artisans brings an entire world to life.

7. Ringing Rocks County Park

Reviewed By EDLichtenstein - Wynnewood, United States
What a unique place. If you have young kids be prepared for at least an hour of climbing around a boulder field banging on rocks with a hammer (don't forget to bring your own). Many boulders ring when you hit them, and climbing from rock to rock to found the different sounds entertained my boys (6 and 8) for quite a while. When you get tired, find a flat boulder and enjoy the snacks you brought along (you did bring snacks, right?). After you should follow the short trail down to the waterfall for more boulder hopping fun. Get there early as the parking lot fills up. Better to go on a non-weekend if you can.

My husband and I visited for the first time on November 1st. It was one day after a heavy rain and wind storm. Lots of leaves and some small debris from the trees were littering the walking paths. It was easy to see, though, this was not the norm. It is a well maintained area with lots of natural beauty. The main pathways are wide and an easy walk. This time of year a lot of trees had already lost their leaves, but still some vibrant, beautiful color remained. We met a couple of volunteers in the visitor center and they were very friendly, knowledgeable and eager to talk about the Preserve and answer our questions. We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the Spring.

What a small hidden gem to find! The gift shop has unique gifts and there is a great display that explains how they harvest the lavender. Even though the harvest was over when we visited, the lake view across the street was beautiful! Will definitely return when back in town!
