Valley Forge National Historical Park is the gateway to a region jam-packed with fun and recreation. Love to shop? Stop at King of Prussia Mall, the East Coast’s largest shopping mall…where there’s no sales tax on clothing!

Enjoy the visual arts? The Barnes Foundation houses one of the world’s greatest collections of Impressionist art. Plus, there’s Pennsylvania German folk art, sculpture gardens, and galleries where local artisans sell their work. There are festivals and performances year-round, from jazz to folk, headliner acts to Las Vegas-style shows.

Recreational facilities abound for golf, hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding and boating. We’re just half an hour outside of Philadelphia, with free parking at more than 85 lodging facilities.
