We came here with 3 adults and 7 children. You start with a house tour. We were nervous about the tour with all the kids. Thankfully, everyone found the tour interesting and not overly long. After that, we were able to wander the outside. It was much better than we expected not only did they have sample buildings of how the Amish live. They also had animals and some fun things for the kids. ( you have to try the scooters). Worth every penny. Happy to say we were not rushed through the outside and were able to enjoy at our own pace.
Being in Lancaster without going to the Amish Farm and House is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower or going to Rome and not seeing the Coliseum. The rich history of the Amish life and contributions of this religious group is revealed at the Amish Farm and House. The relics, furnishings, clothing, buildings, and memorabilia come alive through the great stories and explanations of the guides and curators working at this site. If you are In Lancaster for any reason, treat yourself for an hour or so at the Amish Farm and House and feel yourself slip back in time and be among a small group of compassionate people that helped build our nation in a special way.
