Easton PA... anything cool to do? - 07/30/22 11:41 PM

Going to be in Easton PA for a couple days visiting friends. Anything cool/fun to do with a 9 & 10 year old?
Is there a cool outdoors store there or a trap supply nearby?

Crayola factory. You know, the crayon company. Maybe some PA people will chime in.

Rent a canoe and float the Delaware River, just be sure to keep life vests on. Current is deceptive and will suck under even strong swimmers. Or you can bring some fishing gear and fish from the river banks, bass, muskie and walleyes in there, lots of small fish for kids to catch.

Dorney park water park is nearby. Wasn’t my cup of tea as crowded as it got. Camelbeach water park wasn’t too far away and was much better. My kids loved them

If I was going to be in Easton I would check to see if the Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum and the Nickolas Hawk Gunshop was going to be open to the public while I was there.

Just saw this... Crayola is definitely a good stop for kids. Dorney Park is not far, and in PA. Cabela's in Hamburg is the closest large outdoor store. It's the largest Cabela's and has some great displays in the store. Below are a few other suggestions:

Ringing Rocks County Park
Ringing Rocks Rd, Upper Black Eddy, PA 18972

Dorney Park - Allentown, PA
Cabela's - Hamburg, PA
Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs - Allentown, PA (minor league baseball)
https://www.877trainride.com/ - Delaware River Train - they were doing a dino days one - not sure if thats still happening.
Lehigh Valley Zoo - Allentown, PA/New Tripoli, PA

A few places that are a bit further
Land of Make Believe - Hope, NJ

If you’re going to the Warren County fair, hit the food truck line. If the Janek’s food truck is there, try their kielbasa and definitely their pierogies. Best pierogie I’ve ever had

PSB, if I didn't think it would end in my divorce I'd work a day of concrete just to meet the 1000 fox picture guy and have a beer LOL.
We are off to NYC for a day then back to PA until SAT.
Hopefully will hit Cabela's before we leave
