7. Make your own ice cream
Another notable attraction in Columbia is the Turkey Hill Experience, which combines the craft of ice cream making with the joy of eating it. Guests who book the experience can learn about dairy farming through interactive exhibits, and they can also create their own virtual ice cream flavor or real ice cream in the Turkey Hill Taste Lab. Of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without eating some of the famous ice cream that’s made on-site. Ice cream lovers, especially families, say they had a great time here.

8. Enjoy dinner and a show
Lovers of live entertainment should check out the many local theaters in the Lancaster area, each of which rolls out its own selection of rotating shows. The Fulton Theatre, considered the nation’s oldest continuously operating theater and a National Historic Landmark, puts on musical productions that have included “The Little Mermaid” and “Man of La Mancha.” Previous patrons say they appreciate the hilarious and interesting productions, including shows from a bygone era. Other theaters include the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, which offers musicals and concerts with an all-American buffet meal that changes with each performance, and the American Music Theatre, which hosts traveling acts such as River dance.
