Things to do in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Tours

Having bounced back from economic distress in the 1980s, the city is now a vibrant hub of family activities, from cruises along the Susquehanna to arcades and athletics on City Island. The annual Pennsylvania Farm Show is the largest indoor agriculture exposition in the U.S.

This toll road has to be the most expensive asphalt that any vehicle anywhere has to drive on. I made the mistake of getting on and what a price I paid. I went apx.12 miles and the fine folks charged me $11.50 !!! It was almost $1.00 a mile!!! They have already announced that they will be raising their rates every year for the next SEVERAL years. You can “save” yourself about 38% by purchasing an “EZ Pass” but not only is there a fee to initially purchase one, they will charge your account when your funds get low according to their determination. Do yourself a huge favor and avoid this toll road at ALL costs. It’s not worth the price.
