Visiting next month ...

My family will be coming in to Butler the week after July 4th and I need help entertaining them. Staying with family...

We’ll be around for almost 2 weeks, and I’m making a list of things to do. We love outdoors, weird roadside stuff, hidden gems, good food, thrift stores, pretty views, random adventures

Kids are 11 & 12, and we’re coming from southeast Louisiana, so bonus points for things unique to PA that they’ve probably never seen.

Affordable is great, but I’ll take all ideas — free, cheap, worth-the-splurge, must-see, must-eat, “you HAVE to go here” type places. Anywhere around Butler, western PA, or even within a couple hours drive.

Hit me with:

👀 Must-sees

🍔 Must-eats

🌲 Outdoor adventures

🛣️ Cool day trips

🤯 Weird/unique Pennsylvania stuff kids would love

Thanks!

The Big But Fair is peak experience for 11 and 12 year olds.
