1. Carousel Farm Lavender
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
Carousel Farm Lavender is located in Bucks Country, PA. We grow 15,000 organic lavender plants.
Reviewed By Fireside54 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This is a fully-functioning lavender farm, with an attached apiary (bee farm). Come in the spring and especially summer to see the huge lavender fields alive with butterflies and honeybees (excellent for photographers!) and be sure to visit the farm store while you're there. They have every imaginable way of using lavender, from crafts to housewares to some very unusual applications like bar soap with actual lavender blossoms (it really is amazing stuff). Hours vary, so check ahead.
2. Peddler's Village

Reviewed By Vinnydee2015 - Staten Island, New York
This multi acre complex is a pleasant environment for spending several hours of browsing through unique shops although few bargains are available. We found a few good deals but you should expect to pay full listed price especially on crafts, collectibles and handmade items. Clothing prices are more flexible. Several restaurants are on site and we chose Earl's (see separate review). All in all we found ourselves immersed in a very laid back environment and got in plenty of steps! We will definitely return.

Stopped here between visits to the Mercer Museum and Washington's Crossing. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the wines were very good.
The tasting was $5 for 8 samples and the wines were very inexpensive averaging between $9-$12.
We ended up picking up three bottles before we were done.

I entered and won a Facebook giveaway featuring an overnight stay at The Inn at Bowman's Hill, a private hot air balloon ride for two with the US Hot Air Balloon Team and dinner for two at Bowman's Tavern! We enjoyed dinner, our overnight stay and our first ever flight in a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon took off from the back yard of the Inn. The flight was smooth and clear, with a gentle landing. We could see various sites in Buck's county, and the Philadelphia and New York skyline. Even though I'm not a fan of flying in a plane, I highly recommend the experience of a hot air balloon ride. I felt safe with our experienced young pilot, Jake. Watching the entire process from inflating, ascending and descending, and deflating and packing the balloon.
6. Delaware Canal

A small stretch of the Delaware River: great for canoeing.
Reviewed By marilynpearl - North Carolina
My rating of this "thing to do" is based on historical significance, not hiking, biking, or boating. I learned a little about the canal from the New Hope friend I was visiting, since we kept crossing it as we went other places over the weekend. But when I was walking alone along Main Street, with all its inviting shops and eateries, I came up to a sign reading "Delaware Canal State Park." At the top of the steep stone staircase beside the sign I discovered a portion of the canal that appears to be part of extensive preservation/restoration efforts. Several buildings involved in the operation of the canal were indicated by signs but not open for viewing, at least on the Saturday I was there. The canal itself was totally dry. Across the footbridge was a visitors' center and a parking lot. I liked reading about the history of the canal and seeing right there one of the locks that made canal traffic possible. It's a beautiful spot, well worth a 10 or 15 minute visit.

Once the home of Henry Mercer (1856-1930,) this concrete castle boasts 44 rooms with interior walls, floors and ceilings adorned with a dazzling array of the artists original handcrafted tiles.
Reviewed By cranberries0928 - Washington DC, District of Columbia
We've taken this tour four times now, and each time has been a treat -- one of our all-time favorite attractions. If you can, get the tour with Marcy, who is wonderfully knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Mercer built this fabulously eccentric and ingenious seven-story home out of poured concrete so he could display his collection of tiles, going back to ancient times and produced in his own factory. He was a brilliant designer and a collector of all kinds of odds and ends and it is fascinating to see how he brought it all together in his magnificent home, a true one of a kind.

The Michener Museum is an impressive legacy created by the renowned local author's generosity - an impressive permanent collection is augmented with regular traveling exhibitions that are always worthy of the venue (some like "From Philadelphia to Monaco: Grace Kelly — Beyond the Icon," cannot be seen anywhere else in the region). The museum's permanent collection focuses on Bucks County artists including Thomas Hicks, Jonathan Trego, and Edward Redfield. There is a wonderful sculpture garden, cafe, and do not miss the Nakashima reading room - a serene space highlighting the work of another, world class, local craftsman.
10. Free Will Brewing Taproom

Reviewed By P F B - Edison, New Jersey
Friendly, casual atmosphere. Good selection of beer with a description of what the beers are. There are counter seats and tables, also a free charging station for phones, etc. The server was friendly, but the service was slow, no fault of her own. There was only one person serving and as a result there was a line to get beer. They do have beer available in sixes for sale, but again, have to wait on line to pay for it. They should have had a second person serving. Beer was good, and I was surprised to learn that the beer is available in plastic cups to take outside while walking around the village. Also, outside food is welcome. Beer was good, would definitely go back and bring food with me.
