Things to Do
We're so excited to welcome you to Lancaster! If you're making a weekend of it, there are plenty of fun and charming spots nearby to explore!
Shopping & Outlets
Just minutes from the venue by Lincoln Highway:
Lancaster Tanger Outlets - Great mix of designer and everyday stores for an easy shopping stop.
Park City Center - One of the larger malls in the area with shopping, dining, and indoor walking space.
Family-Friendly Fun
Perfect if you're traveling with kids or just want a classic Lancaster experience:
Dutch Wonderland® Family Amusement Park
A beloved amusement park with rides, shows, and water attractions for all ages! Gabby highly recommends the Frog Dive Show - it was her absolute favorite as a child! She may also be looking for an excuse to tag along with you and your kids the day after the wedding so she can experience it again!
Strasburg Rail Road
Scenic steam train ride through Amish Country!
Local Charm
A must-see for the full Lancaster experience:
Kitchen Kettle Village - A quaint village filled with shops, homemade jams, baked good, and local crafts.
Amish Country Scenic Drives - Rolling farmland, roadside stands, and beautiful countryside views
Explore Lititz
Lititz Springs Park
Just a short drive away, Lititz is one of our favorite nearby towns:
Boutique shopping & coffee shops
Lititz Springs Park
Wilbur Chocolate and Greco's Ice Cream for a sweet treat
If you're looking for a bite to eat we highly recommend:
Rooster Street Butcher: A favorite of ours known for elevated comfort food and great drinks. It's about 15-20 minutes from the venue and a perfect option if you want a relaxed dinner in downtown Lititz!
If You're Staying Near Eden Resort
For guests staying closer to the hotel areas there are several easy dining options nearby, plus quick access to Route 30 restaurants and downtown Lancaster within a short drive! Also, if you're staying in this area before the wedding, please plan to leave a little earlier than your GPS recommends. Traffic on Lincoln Highway can sometime back up, and we'd hate for you to feel rushed on our special day!
Coffee, Breakfast, & Easy Stops (Very Close to Route 30)
Perfect for mornings, quick stops, or in-between wedding weekend plans:
Speckled Hen Coffee - Cozy cafe with artisan coffee and breakfast options in a small-town setting.
Agape Cafe & Grille - A local favorite for breakfast and coffee, with a cozy welcoming atmosphere.
Parlor Doughnuts - Fun stop right on Lincoln Highway for coffee and specialty layered donuts!
A Special Spot to Us
LUCA
If you're looking for a dinner idea while you're in town, we recommend LUCA it's where we had our first "official" date and holds a really special place in our hearts. It's about a 20-minute drive from the venue, but absolutely worth the trip for a meaningful night out...and also where Ryley might say Gabby earned a few extra points with her wine selection!
