Journey with Moses as he ventures through the wilderness, encounters God at the burning bush, and ascends to the top of Mount Sinai.  Experience one of the Bible’s most epic stories as MOSES comes to life with massive sets, special effects, and live animals in this original stage production from Sight & Sound Theatres.

The Strasburg Railroad

 Welcome to America’s Oldest Operating Railroad. Travel directly through the heart of Pennsylvania Amish Country with a view of more than 2,500 acres of untouched farmland. Comfortably seated aboard an authentically restored passenger car, your group will embark on a 45-minute, fully narrated ride behind a real, operating steam locomotive. 

ELVIS The Musical

His singular name still evokes immediate recognition from people all over the world! This official Elvis Presley bio-musical takes a closer look at the rock star and cultural icon whose impact shaped the history of music and culture. ELVIS: THE MUSICAL spans from his childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi to his triumphant 1968 “Comeback Special” and his ascent to be “The King.” It features over 40 Elvis hits and iconic songs including, “All Shook Up,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Burning Love,” “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” “Hound Dog,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Are You Lonesome,” and “Blue Suede Shoes.” 

Gettysburg National Park & Battlefield

The Battle of Gettysburg - The crown jewel of our trip, is known as the turning point of the Civil War.  A three day battle in July of 1863, Gettysburg is the most famous and tragic battle ever fought on American soil.  A field that spans some forty two square miles, is where Robert E. Lee made his worst mistake of the war, giving the north a victory that would signal the eventual end of the conflict.  We begin our journey here with a Narrated Battlefield Riding Tour.  We will stop at Robert E. Lee Memorial - View Pickett’s Charge Battlefield - Drive through the Wheat Fields and along Devil’s Den - Ascend Little Round Top - Cross over Cemetery Ridge( Union Side) - and reach the High Water Mark of the Confederacy.   You will also see the National Cemetery where President Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address.  After our riding tour we arrive at the visitors center to see the film “Fields of Freedom” depicting the sounds and fury of the battle at Gettysburg.  Time is provided to enjoy the “Cyclorama” along with time to visit the Gettysburg Battle Museum.

1. The bus ride both ways was very good. The driver was great and what a skilled driver!!!!!! I dont know how he managed to get into that small entrance in Hudson without scraping the side of the bus. (He should not have had to maneuver like that. Hopefully next time they will find a more easily accessible spot for the people in Hudson.) 2. The food was very good. 3. I felt so bad for the performer. It was obvious he was in a lot of pain. But he muscled through it and did a great performance. I would see him again! 4. The only complaint was the table seating. Ridiculous to squeeze 10 people in a table built for 8. I noticed that a lot of the tables seated only 8 not 10. I also noticed that there was certainly room in the hall to add 2-3 more tables so we would not be hitting each other's elbows eating. I could not sit up to the table because of lack of space. I was sitting at least a foot from the table and trying to lean over to eat. Not at all pleasant. Before I would go down to that venue again, i will ask how many are seated at a table and then make a decision whether to go or not. That part was NOT a pleasant experience. Thanks for asking.

Never got to go. Bus left without myself and my sister. We got there half an hour early. In sending me directions they never said that bus would be in front door. I was in parking handicap. At 9.12 went inside senior center and was told bus left. In this day and age everyone has cell phone. He left early knowing that two more people should be there. Is this a gimmick you play. We are both handicapped and was looking forward to this trip. Shame on that bus driver. No host o n bus??? We could have met the bus 🚃
