From tailored tours to interactive museum features, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, has no shortage of awesome endeavors to pursue. Included in the lineup is a vast array of family-friendly suggestions designed for visitors of all ages and interests, including children. But they may be onto something even bigger and better than ever before with their latest optimal option. It’s the new Land of Adventures, which just celebrated its grand opening this past holiday weekend.
Land of Adventures occupies the site of Gettysburg’s former classic Land of Little Horses attraction, which enjoyed a tenure of more than 50 years before closing permanently.
Going beyond your typical playground setup, Land of Adventures is a multifaceted attraction offering a profuse presentation of possibilities to learn, grow, and reconnect the entire family on an all-new level.
Adventure Town, for instance, is the place for kids to explore their own unique fun-size village setup, taking on various roles and professions. Examples include firefighters, veterinarians, bakers, mechanics, librarians, pizza chefs, postal workers, and more.
Then there’s the tantalizing 12-element Adventure Playground featuring climbing walls, balance obstacles, rope bridges, and other character-building obstacles.
It’s a real “treasured” experience for the whole family when you visit the onsite Gem Mine. What’s more, you can even mine for real gemstones and take home anything you uncover.
Other delightful must-dos include pedal carts, duck races, sports games, giant jump pillows, interactive sports challenges, and more. You can even enjoy classic farm follies, such as hands-on field visits and flower picking.
But visiting the resident animals here is among one of the most iconic offerings awaiting you.
As autumn gets underway, even more quintessential classic activities are yours for the taking. Explore the resident pumpkin patch firsthand and delight in pumpkin-decorating activities, such as carving, painting, and more. Ride along the grounds in an authentic tractor-drawn wagon while you’re at it! Furthermore, who can pass up a great corn maze?
You may even book your next birthday or milestone event here, if you so choose. Whether out and about on a personalized trip with the family or you’re here for a special occasion, you have to check out the new Land of Adventures.
