If you are looking for the BEST ice cream in town, this is worth the drive out of the city. They make the ice cream on site and you'll get a chance to see the cows being milked and pet calfs on the farm.

This place isn't for the faint of heart, they usually have death metal on blast and the staff isn't very friendly. But, if you can get past the façade - it has the biggest burritos in town, over twenty different hot sauces, and in my opinion absolute best taco salad, although I prefer to eat mine in the quiet of my own home.

Taking a hot air balloon ride over the Amish countryside is the best way to experience Lancaster County. This is something we have done several times [morning flights] and have loved it every time. More than likely you will end up landing in an Amish farm and having them run out to help packing up the balloon. https://ushotairballoon.com/
