Top 9 Things to do Adventurous in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (PA)

April 22, 2022 Toi Mattera

Gettysburg is steeped in the history of the Civil War. In 1863, it was the site of the epic Battle of Gettysburg, in which some 50,000 soldiers were killed. It is also, of course, the place where Abraham Lincoln delivered the immortal Gettysburg Address. The town itself is made up of houses, hotels and taverns dating back several centuries, but Gettysburg offers more modern travel and leisure activities, as well, like wine tastings, orchard tours, shopping and golfing.

Devils Den

Devils Den is a rock formation that can be explored by the whole family. Located in the middle of Gettysburg National Military Park below Little Round Top. The rock formation is interesting enough to warrant a 2 hour excursion and is a great place for children to get some energy out.

This pile of boulders and rocks saw such horrific fighting on the second day of the battle. The rocks you walk among are original to the day and one can only imagine the great loss of life that occurred on these very stones. This place is hallowed ground where brave men bled and died. I was filled with awe and respect. A somber experience.

My husband and I did the Rebel Recon room and we escaped with just minutes to spare. Lots of great puzzles with good clues and it was fun to tie in the town's history into the room. Would definitely recommend!

Escape Gettysburg

A great thing to do while in Gettysburg. You have exactly one hour to escape a fun themed room full of clues with a team. Will you escape in time?

We did both the Gettysburg Address Heist and Mad Hatter rooms (my 40th and 41st escape rooms done) and absolutely loved them both. Both of our game masters were great!! I highly recommend going to Escape Gettysburg if you're in the area.

Museum Of Haunted Objects

Reviewed By 554brandaa - Philadelphia, United States

Our tour guide, John, took us through a journey of the paranormal. He wove tales of the macabre with interjections of humor keeping you on your toes but at the same time kept us feeling protected by his knowledge and experience with the arcane. John explained the vast histories of the objects that literally bled the energy of the battlefield. Some artifacts possessed a dark aura. John was very selfless in shielding us from their malignant forces. No adventure through Gettysburg would be complete without a spine tingling layover in the dark realm of the Museum of Haunted Objects. .....Once a skeptic.....
