gettysburg 150th anniversary next year

We are heading to gettysburg next year for the 150 reenacement july 1-8 and camping at a campground in gettysburg. the reenactment is only the july 4-7 so I am looking for other things to do in the area. I was wondering if any of the PA people have any suggestions of things to do with a 3 1/2 year old. I was looking at Idawild but that is almost 3 hours back towards pittsburg. Sessame street is another almost 3 hours towards philly. does harrisburg have anything fun to do?? thanks for any suggestions.

Hershey Park is always a fun place for a family; has lots of rides and shows plus you can take a tour of the chocolate factory and make your own candy bar.

Also there is the Crayola Factory which is very kid friendly, located in Easton, PA.

DC I'm heading that way in August. I'll let you know what I find, but will take any advice anyone has.

Hey Wacker's Home Brew Fridge is only 30 mintues from the burg and if you play your cards right he'll be in his full re-enactment uniform and his R.E. Lee beard.

We'd enjoy getting together to see everyone...

Wacker home brewery does sound good

That would be something to see if wacker does have a full R.E. lee uniform

We'll have to pick a day and do a picnic!
We also know a YUMMY place for a weekend dinner...
