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.

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).
