Best Leisure Options

Pheasant Field Bed & BreakfastPeople love staying at B&Bs because of the homey ambience and friendly interaction with the people who own the place. Pheasant Field Bed & Breakfast offers that and so much more. The B&B is located only four miles from downtown Carlisle, yet vacationers and business travelers feel worlds away from the hubbub of life. A nearby pond offers great birdwatching, the labyrinth invites guests to take a meditative walk, and the aroma of oatmeal pancakes in the morning is a reminder of the beautiful day ahead. “A couple from Las Vegas stayed here and spent over an hour on the front porch watching fireflies,” says Dee Fegan, owner/innkeeper with husband Chuck DeMarco. “They had never seen them before.” 150 Hickorytown Rd., Carlisle. 717-258-0717; pheasantfield.com — lori myers

Whitaker Center for Science and the ArtsTaking children to Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts is like blending vegetables into their food without them realizing they’re eating something that’s good for them. That’s because learning and fun go hand in hand at Whitaker’s Harsco Science Center, where kids can enjoy interactive exhibits, games and the worlds of geology, medicine and creativity. KidsPlace has places to play, and a Storybook Stage where tot thespians can act out their favorite fairy tales. They can experience a tornado or hurricane in Forces of Nature, or learn about nutrition at the Carnival of Health exhibit. One and all can experience a movie on a 65-foot-high screen at the Select Medical IMAX Theater. “My eight-year-old says it’s like going to a new place every time,” says Kathleen Keller, Whitaker’s vice president of marketing and sales. 222 Market St., Harrisburg. 717-214-2787(ARTS); whitakercenter.org — lori myers

American Music TheatreIt’s been 12 years since American Music Theatre’s curtains rose for the first time along Lancaster’s Route 30, welcoming audiences to a continually shifting repertoire — Abba tribute bands to the Beach Boys and Moody Blues, original revues to Tuesday Night Music Club, featuring bands from our region like Slimfit and The Vinegar Creek Constituency. The theater has become a solid part of the local musical landscape, and the performers seem to love it, too: The walls backstage are scrawled with Sharpied messages of thanks from more than a decade’s worth of artists. All that, more than 1,600 cushy seats, and great sound by locally based and world-renowned Clair Brothers. Break a leg. 2425 Lincoln Hwy. E., Lancaster. 717-397-7700; amtshows.com — jennifer kopf

Best Shopping

Giant Food StoresIt’s a playground for the kids, a meeting place for events and a place to get advice from a nutritionist. Oh, and while you’re there, you can do your grocery shopping, too. While many may use their local Giant Food Store primarily as a source for fresh food, the chain, which began in Carlisle in 1923, has much more to offer. For example, in some locations, in-store chefs provide cooking demonstrations, an indoor play area allows children to have fun, surrounded by trained child-care providers, while their parents shop, and nutritionists are available to help with advice for a healthy food lifestyle — all for free. “We have beautiful fresh departments and are known for our support for local growers and producers,” says Tracy Pawelski, Giant’s director of public and community relations. Plus, they’re committed to giving back, donating nearly $15 million last year. Says Pawelski, “‘Living Here, Giving Here,’ our motto, defines our belief in giving back to our local communities and the people who live in them.” 888-814-4268; giantfoodstores.com — noreen livoti

Ten Thousand VillagesFor gifts that make a difference in newlyweds’ homes and in the lives of artisans who live hundreds, perhaps thousands, of miles away, check out the Ten Thousand Villages Wedding Registry. Items from nearly 40 countries are available, backed by 60-plus years of fair trade that provides a stable income in some of the world’s most challenged communities. “Couples choose to register with Ten Thousand Villages,” says marketing manager Mary Frey, “because they love our merchandise and they believe in the difference fair trade makes in the lives of artisans around the world.” The gift registry program dates to the early days of the retailer’s online history, which began in 2006. Since then, more than 4,600 gift registries have been established throughout the U.S., and more than 650 are currently open. 240 N.

Caledonia State ParkCaledonia State Park dates back to 1902. Grandparents bring their grandchildren camping here because their grandparents took them. Park manager R. Bruce McFate doesn’t have a favorite time of year because every day at the wooded, historic park is his favorite. Nineteenth-century educator and abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens built an ironworks here. Invading Confederates torched the business, but remnants are still present, so weekend visitors can see 1830s artifacts in the blacksmith’s shop. Daily programs, including Friday and Saturday evening campfire gatherings, educate campers on historic and environmental themes. Getting in touch with nature, says McFate, “is proven to be very good for the soul.” 101 Pine Grove Rd.

GettysburgThe world knows Gettysburg for its 1863 battle, but today’s town has blossomed into a crossroads of history, art and culture. Find the work of local artists in lots of galleries. Stop by the Adams County Winery’s shop for a taste of Rebel Red. Catch a jam session or snag a rare Del McCoury CD at Arrow Horse Bluegrass. Hoist a pint at the Blue Parrot Bistro or sip a strawberry banana milkshake at the Cannonball Old Tyme Malt Shop. And don’t miss a chance to see a show at the Majestic, the spectacular 1925 theater with the $16 million makeover. www.gettysburg.travel — m. diane mccormick

Country Meadows Hershey The hot thing today at Country Meadows Hershey is Wii bowling. “We have an 86-year-old woman that just bowled 300,” says resident Ed Dempsey, whose team captured the coveted Leader Cup in a tournament among all Country Meadows campuses.At Country Meadows Hershey, they like to say that life gets better. Residents volunteer to make PB&J sandwiches for a soup kitchen; join exercise classes run by a full-time fitness coordinator; attend dances.

RE/MAX It’s not your imagination. There are tons of RE/MAX signs on Central PA homes for sale. Market share by county ranges from almost one quarter to more than one half of transactions. More than 1,000 agents staff 50 offices. “Buyers and sellers get a better agent when they’re dealing with a RE/MAX agent,” says Lou Puliti, broker of record, RE/MAX Realty Associates, Camp Hill. ”They have a lot of designations. They’ve been in the business a number of years.” A good agent, he says, has a strong work ethic. “They like people. They like to help. They give of themselves.” remax�.com

AAA Central PennIf you daydream about Scottish castles, the wines of Tuscany, or just high-fiving Mickey Mouse, it’s easy to turn those fantasies into reality.

Planet FitnessSure, you want to join a gym — you’ve been meaning to for years. But between high prices and feeling like you have to keep up with those who seem to spend their lives working out, you’ve given up the dream. Enter Planet Fitness. The chain keeps its prices low — the average cost is about $15 a month — by skipping amenities such as juice bars or child care, and instead focusing on providing a clean facility, high-quality equipment and an everyone’s-welcome attitude. As a Black Card member, which runs about $20 a month, a guest can gather more privileges, including unlimited use of the more than 300 Planet Fitness clubs nationwide. planetfitness.com — noreen livoti

JDC PediatricsMost parents will tell you that the number-one thing they wish for their child is to be happy and healthy. Knowing your pediatrician wants the same — and proves it to you every time you visit — is priceless. JDC Pediatrics began in the 1950s, and now, with two offices and 10 board-certified pediatricians, is still dedicated to caring for children from infancy through adolescence. According to Lynda Bruno, practice administrator, conveniences including location accessibility, vaccine clinics and electronic medical records are among the things that set the practice apart. Their website, she says, is an extension of their care, providing links to health handouts for parents who may have questions, from “15 ways to soothe a fussy baby” to vaccine information for teenagers.

Best Pet Care

Musselman’s Pet ParadiseParting is such sweet sorrow, particularly if you have to board Fido or Kitty while you’re away. The caretakers at Musselman’s Pet Paradise in Gardners go that extra mile in giving your canine or feline pet companion a doggone purrfect vacation. “We have available belly rubs and pet massages for our couch buddies, as well as small-group playtime with an in-ground swimming pool for our more active friends,” says Sandra Musselman, owner. “All pets have toys in each run, as well as television throughout the facility.” Pets enjoy home-cooked goodies while watching Animal Planet, and a bubble bath prior to going home. 2265 Upper Bermudian Rd., Gardners. 717-528-8123. — lori myers
