Great place for kids to play. Giant play area, a walking trail and a large field. Plenty of space to park. This is on a church property, keep that in mind during any potential services.

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!

Dickinson College

Reviewed By 480darrelb - New Cumberland, United States

Always enjoy visiting the campus of my Alma Mater when we are in Carlisle. My most recent visits were when we were eating at restaurants in Carlisle. There are concerts, lectures, plays, etc. open to the public from time to time. The campus has changed and grown quite a bit since I graduated 40 odd years ago.

Reviewed By Going2Travel2 - New Cumberland, United States

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.

West Shore Farmers Market

Reviewed By Going2Travel2 - New Cumberland, United States

It is worth the time, effort and such a selection. Local farm supplied meats, bakery items and more. I was specifically looking for fresh rabbit and found it at his Farmers Market. It was reasonably priced. Fresh in season produce is what you expect and this is what you get. Recommend you go over and over again.Open Tuesday's and Friday's only.
