They are very friendly and informative. Lots of information for your visit. A nice gift shop and local artists display their art and it's for sale. I bought a piece of art I know I couldn't find anywhere else.

Very helpful, friendly staff. Have a lot of literature and if they don’t know the answer to your questions they try to find out for you. There is a room that displays art from Lancaster and it is for sale. Also there is a little gift shop. Clean bathrooms.

A special THANK YOU to all the Tourist Information people that make our trips so much better, and some how we tend to forget after all our fun filled adventures.

Didn’t realize that the visitor center is right next to the best sticky buns! Get coupons for the buns inside the visitor center.

We stopped here as we arrived in Lancaster. The exhibits were very informative and the shop was nice. We spend about 30 minutes in the center. The brochures were plentiful.

If you are visiting Lancaster or you live here, the Discover Lancaster Visitors Center is a useful resource to guide you to venues, restaurants, and events in our county. The staff is ready to point you in the right direction for whatever it is you are looking for. Pick up a free booklet to explore the hidden treasures of Lancaster County.

If you have not been to Lancaster - I suggest you go to the visitors center and pick up brochures of the area. The covered bridges are fun to drive around and see. If you like ice cream - - ask where Lapp’s Creamery is located in New Holland.

I popped in to get some information on a specific subject and this place is really nice! The people were very helpful and they have loads of information on all things Amish, Lancaster County and the surrounding areas.

Hi,
We are staying in AC but we like to travel around and visit different areas. Can you suggest some attractions in the area
Small shops are fine no factory outlets.
Thanks for your help.

When I stopped at the tourist center here, they had brochures on pretty much every place in the area. They actually took a map and highlighted a route for us to take and what shops, attractions we would enjoy based on our interests. Everything they recommended turned out to be good.
