Pennsylvania’s bursting with gems, some so hidden that we’ve never heard of them. Or maybe we’ve heard of them, but we just haven’t had the chance to visit. Some, in fact, may even make us feel as though we’ve journeyed far from our homes into a storybook.

Nestled in Central Pennsylvania, not too far from Harrisburg, Wildwood Park will likely make you feel as though you’re a million miles away.
