+Doc-Dean Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Are there any caches in or immediately around Dutch Wonderland? I'll be up next week and I looked at the maps, but wouldn't you know it - Dutch Wonderland is not listed with a big star on it. I see a few caches on Rt 30 but I don't know if they are near the park or not. Thanks for the help! Quote
+IV_Warrior Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 The Geocaching.com maps show Dutch Wonderland. SBUX 2 is the closest cache to the park. There are 30ish caches within 5 miles of there. Quote
+Doc-Dean Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Ok, I see it now... its called Lancaster Host Resort? Thanks IV! Quote
+Mopar Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Doc, please tell me you're not leaving the nice warm mecca of amusement parks to travel to Dutch Wonderland? Quote
+IV_Warrior Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Ok, I see it now... its called Lancaster Host Resort? Thanks IV! Nah, it says "Dutch Wonderland Amusement Park" but I just noticed you have to be on the "right" zoom level for it to show....it's right across Route 30 from the Lancaster Host Resort, though. Quote
+Doc-Dean Posted December 17, 2004 Author Posted December 17, 2004 Doc, please tell me you're not leaving the nice warm mecca of amusement parks to travel to Dutch Wonderland? LOL!! I can't take any more of the mouse! Actually, visiting family in Lancaster for x-mas and the Mrs. was looking for something interesting to do with our 2 yr old. (I said: What? Caching isn't interesting?? - At which point I got bonked in the head! ) Quote
+Perfect Tommy Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 You may want to consider this attraction instead of, or in addition to, Dutch Wonderland. If your 2 year old is a boy, he may enjoy it. Quote
magellan315 Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I'd agree with Perfect Tommy, I was in Lanacster and drove by this place, trains for days. If your child likes trains this is the place to go, dress warm and you'll be fine. Quote
+gnbrotz Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Hersheyparks also has free admission to see their holiday light displays. Some rides operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, but everything else is free. I can't remember if the parking fees are waived or not. Adjacent, Chocolate World is worth the time if you've never done it before. Quote
+tls11823 Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 You may want to consider this attraction ... I agree, Strasburg RR is a great place for kids and adults alike. I was just down there a couple of weeks ago with my son. A word of warning about the RT 30 area - I hope you like micros. We were down there to help out a travel bug who wanted to visit heaven. Paradise, PA seemed like a good place for him, so we made a day out of it. I had a heck of a time finding a cache nearby that wasn't a micro. There's one right outside the town of Strasburg, but not many besides that. Unfortunately, we got a flat tire and ended up losing the sunlight before making it there, but we did get a picture of Eeyore in Paradise before heading home. If you follow the advice to head up towards Hershey, you'll find plenty of caches in the woods if you're not a hide-from-the-muggles type. Quote
