Life’s usually really busy, which means we don’t always have time to go on a long vacation or spend a ton of time together as a family. Fortunately, we have so many amazing destinations in the state that we can always find the perfect family-friendly outing in Pennsylvania. Today’s outing leads to a fun wildlife park followed by a trip just a few miles away, to a delicious diner.
A day among animals usually promises a ton of fun, lots of laughs, and lifelong memories, which makes Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Halifax the perfect way to start a family-friendly outing.
The seasonal wildlife park is all about the animals, and you have several ways to get closer to them. Sign up for one of the safari tours, for example, where a guide will lead you on a drive along 150 acres.
A stroll through the zoo will allow you to meet a variety of animals, including monkeys, lions, bears, and parrots. It’s a must-visit, but make sure you also save time for a visit to the petting zoo.
One of the most popular activities at the wildlife park is the baby animals program. You may have the opportunity to meet and socialize with some of the adorable babies.
Lake Tobias Wildlife Park also features concession stands for a delicious snack, but save room for a scrumptious meal at our next stop – Denny’s Lennies.
A popular old-school restaurant since 1937 (it’s changed names numerous times in those decades), Denny’s Lennies dishes up classic meals that are sure to fill you up and leave you happy.
Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich or a scrumptious entrée, you’ll find something that hits the spot at this classic diner. Entrees include such favorites as marinated pork chops, lasagna, and chopped steak.
