10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Reading That You Shouldn't Miss

May 21, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Reading, which gave its name to the Reading Railroad of Monopoly Fame, is located in the midst of Berks County, an area known for rich history amongst beautiful nature. The Greater Reading Area promises visitors the opportunity to experience a wide collection of covered bridges and Dutch folk barn art, and Berks County offers more intrepid explorers the chance to set off on a hike along the Appalachian Trail. Sitting atop Reading is the city's symbol, a massive pagoda, built as a hotel in 1908.

First time visit to this lovely performance hall in easy-to-get-to City of Reading, close to the Goggleworks and R/C IMAX theater. Ample parking and all seats in the house were good seats!

Art, history, science, and culture all under one roof in Reading, Pa.

Went there to see the Nickolas Muray photographs of Frida Kahlo. Excellent exhibit. A wonderful traveling children’s exhibit from Omaha was there. Surprisingly, we really enjoyed the stuffed animals from around the world that were there. On the top level was another traveling exhibit of 1920s posters by Muncha. There is a balanced permanent exhibit of 20th century art.

Whilst staying in the area myself and my partner (both English) decided to go and watch the Reading Royals play ice hockey to fill an evening. Even though we had very little (no) knowledge of ice hockey we had a great evening. The atmosphere was great and it was a really well organised event, i would defiintely go again!

when I go in these places I usually leave with nothing and let my Mrs get what she wants. this time, she did her normal shopping while I walked around, finding bargains here, or there,you need to look all around for those reduced price racks which they do have large signs for. I got some really nice stuff at really nice prices and will be back sometime again
