Very ambitiously priced for a walk through commercial. They are lucky that so many tourists flood Lancaster looking for something to do. More

Went there in July 2011 soon after it opened. It is fun for children under 12. Ice cream and sandwich shop too expensive! $20 for a t-shirt...really? pay them to advertise? Went back in May 2012 to get Ice Cream... shop was CLOSED! How is it possible that a large corporation that makes Ice cream can't keep a ice cream... More

We hit the Experience on our breakaway day from Amish Country and it was very nice. Surrounding area looks like a run-down old river town so don't venture out to far. Once in the parking lot here you are fine. You can tour the whole place in less than 2 hours so don't worry if you're in a rush to... More

You get a small cup of ice cream after the "experience" but it is rather expensive. More

Not crowded, and, as quoted above by our tween, a unique, fun museum for kids 5-12. Young kids will enjoy samples and limited indoor play equipment, but interactive displays are the best part and would likely be lost on them. Kids older than 10 will finish activities quickly, and most past 13 would probably scoff. It was great, though, as... More

After paying the adnmission fee, one would expect live demonstrations and many more things to see and do, but there's one little film, a few exhibits, a free dish of ice cream, and a bunch of interactive children's activities that are thinly-veiled market research. There is no longer even a snack bar. I suppose elementary-age children would find the place... More

We visited the Turkey Hill Experience on a recent visit to Lancaster (it's about 15-20 minutes from Lancaster). We were looking for something fun the kids would enjoy on a cold day. What a great find! The place is sparkling new, the interactive activities are perfect for kids about 5-9 years old. My 8-year old son loved every minute, my... More

We went with two families, including a 3 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. This was a big hit. The free ice cream and lemonade was my favorite part. You could go back as much as you wanted and try any flavor you liked. There were many hands on activities included in the exhibit. My daughter really... More

We visited turkey hill experience. The experience does not include Turkey Hill making ice cream, just videos and man made attractions. The kids enjoyed the free ice cream and the indoor slide, but I do not think it was worth the money. More
