After loving and consistently visiting Amish Country in Lancaster County, PA, for over a decade, here are 10 (plus 2) places that are so great for family fun! All of these places are family-friendly, interactive, fun, and perfect for making memories - your kids may even put their phones down!!! My kids enjoyed them when they were young and enjoy them as teenagers as well.
