3. Plan a weekend feast
Smorgasbords and buffets reign supreme in Lancaster, with many of them featuring authentic Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. Most popular is Shady Maple Smorgasbord, a 200-foot, all-you-can-eat buffet. People from all over come to Lancaster for this unique Pennsylvania experience.
4. Stop at the Mennonite Life Visitors Center
The Mennonite Life Visitors Center (formerly the Mennonite Information Center) provides even more perspective about the region with free resources and a Biblical Tabernacle Experience, which includes an educational lecture and a full-sized reproduction of the original tabernacle Moses constructed for the nation Israel. This museum offers truly amazing details on Amish life that you can’t find elsewhere.
