Kitchen Kettle Village
Hungry for Pennsylvania Dutch goodness? Make your way to Kitchen Kettle Village, an outdoor village of more than 40 shops, including the famous Jam & Relish Kitchen, where you can sample a variety of some 100 homemade Pennsylvania Dutch comestibles before you buy. There are also shops selling leather goods, pottery, specialty yarns, candles, furniture, oils and, of course, Amish quilts - a souvenir staple. You'll also find stores serving up sweets (you must try the shoofly pie and whoopie pies - two iconic Lancaster County treats), hand-twisted soft pretzels, kettle corn, smoked meats, and more. Watch basket weaving, fudge making, homemade ice cream making, paintings, woodcarving, and leather works.
Two restaurants are also tucked in the village:
Kling House Restaurant and Kettle Cafe with convenient cafeteria-style dining.
Amish Country Homestead/One-Room Schoolhouse
The Amish Country Homestead is a reflection of our commitment to accurately and sensitively portray the Old Order Amish as they live and work in today's world. The Homestead is the home of the fictional Amish family of Daniel and Lizzie Fisher.
Inside the Homestead, we learn of Amish traditions and practices, plain clothing and life without electricity. The Fisher One-Room School is attached to the house and filled with authentic desks and furnishings from an actual Amish school. You'll learn the tradition of teaching eight grades in one room.
From the pantry stocked full of freshly canned vegetables to the family's plain clothes... from propane-powered lamps to air-compressor driven appliances... the Fisher Family Homestead truly provides insights into the complex riddles of a culture so very different from our own.
Million Dollar Quartet at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
This full service dinner theatre attraction in the heart of Lancaster County presents full length Broadway musicals with professional performers and a live orchestra. The buffet offers a full salad bar, 8 hot entrees and a lavish dessert selection.
Million Dollar Quartet is the smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time.
On December 4, 1956, history was made when these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest impromptu jam sessions ever. It brings to light the extraordinary story of broken promises, secrets, and the once-in-a-lifetime celebration of four friends that is both poignant and heartwarming. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featuring a score of rock hits including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "That's All Right," "Sixteen Tons," "Great Balls of Fire," "Walk the Line," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Who Do You Love?," "Matchbox," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Hound Dog" and more.
This thrilling musical brings you inside the recording studio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night.
Don't miss your chance to be a fly on the wall of fame... at MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET!
Running Time: 2 hours
Amish Farmlands Tour
Venture out onto the "Roads Less Traveled" through the heart of the Amish Farmlands. Enjoy picturesque scenery as you meander across country roads where time seems to stand still. See the pristine Amish farms, one-room schoolhouses, windwheels, Amish "phone booths" and farmers working the fields with their horse or mule-drawn plows.
Stop at an Amish Quilt & Craft Shop, right on an Amish farm! Have an opportunity to meet the Amish in person as you browse through a colorful array of exquisite handmade quilts and unique country crafts.
Farm Tour at Kreider Farms
See how old-fashioned dedication to quality, harnessed with state-of-the-art technology, produces an unbeatable team.
Experience the sights, sounds and smells of a real, working dairy farm on the Kreider Farms tour.
This tour features a high-tech view of farming, including a drive down the middle of the maternity barn, otherwise known as the "Cow Palace." It's not uncommon to see newborn calves either just born or being born... Have your camera ready!
Take a short walk to the milking carousel where you'll get a bird's eye view of the milking merry-go-round where 1,700 cows are milked 3 times a day!
Visit the Silo Observation Tower. Climb to the top for an excellent view of Kreider Farms and the surrounding Lancaster County farmland.
NOTE: There is only 1 single public restroom facility at the Welcome Center. Please use the facilities at the Enck's during lunch.
Wine Tasting at Mount Hope Estate and Winery
Let our energetic hosts guide you through seeing, sniffing, swirling, and savoring the wines at Mount Hope Estate & Winery. And, get a peek at the production facility and fun facts about Mount Hope's history!
Improv Show
There is no script for this show! Let the talented cast take your suggestions and turn improv games into hilarious skits that will leave you in stitches. You will help create a show that no one has ever seen before and no one will ever get the chance to see again!

This in-depth historical tour explores the town built on chocolate and the inspiring story of Milton Hershey. Ride along on an old-fashioned trolley with an entertaining and informative conductor.
The tour starts with the Hershey of today, then jumps back all the way to a time before there was a town, or a chocolate factory, or even chocolate in America for that matter. We'll then work our way through the inspiring life of Milton Hershey, simultaneously visiting the historical sites of town he created.
Hershey Chocolate World
Follow cocoa beans on a journey from the tropical rainforest to Hershey, PA. See, feel, hear and smell the delicious transformation from beans to HERSHEY'S famous chocolate. Then, enjoy a free sample!
For more sweet surprises and the greatest selection of Hershey's gifts, visit the elaborate gift shop inside.
Chocolate World & the Chocolate Tour are wheelchair accessible.
