The H Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center at Shippensburg University is a state of the art 1,500 seat premier performing arts center that is home to a sensational array of familiar acts. The contemporary performance space serves residents and tourists from Central Pennsylvania, and Northern Maryland and West Virginia. Tours and VIP experiences are available.
We have attended many concerts at the Luhrs center and a musical play. It is a wonderful venue and a treasure for south central Pennsylvania. Parking is ample, free, and near the building. Acoustics are great. The on line ticket service is easy to use and pay. There are a few good restaurants near-by.

If you enjoy a glass of wine, you're in luck. Castlerigg Wine Shop is truly special. The vibe is friendly, and even a bit quirky, and the setting is beautiful--it's in a restored Victorian in historic downtown Carlisle, complete with pressed-tin ceilings, gleaming hardwoods, stained glass and a fireplace--so it's perfect for date night, girl's night out or a quick wine tasting or glass of wine with friends by the fireplace or outdoors. The owner is quite knowledgeable about wine and can steer you in the right direction, whether you're a newbie or connoisseur, and they have a variety of dry and sweet wines available by the bottle or glass. There's also a little gift shop. An enthusiastic thumbs-up. You won't find anywhere just like it.

Wanted to go to this place for awhile now and finally had some time on a Saturday to drive up to Carlisle PA. It was a nice day for a drive and only took about 50min. from Hanover to get there. The complex is huge with 2 large main buildings and a mile long outside area where the buildings and military vehicles are kept. Even with the masks restrictions, you can still do the interactive exhibits inside, including a parachute jump and a gun target simulator. We enjoyed outside the most, it took us about 1.5 hours to see everything outside spread out over 2 large fields. There is no charge for the center and it really was a great place to visit!

Loved doing the orienteering courses and just spending time in the natural beauty that is this space. A lot of winding and turning to get to the ed center in the middle, but totally worth the drive! Cute little garden, a mansion and water tower (though the mansion was closed when we went).

Beautiful scenery. There are several trails to choose from. A very nicely maintained beach area attached to a pond. Great for a day trip.

A great place to take your children or grandchildren for a hike around the lake or to trout fish during trout season. They enjoyed the day and caught their limit of trout for an evening meal. OR, on a sunny day, take a book and just sit by the lake. Love it.
