Roadside America – World’s Greatest Indoor Miniature Village

My husband and I love to travel and when we do so…we prefer to travel by car so that we can check out all of those obscure places that most people normally miss.

We are lucky that we live in the northeast and there is plenty for us to see. On one recent road trip through Pennsylvania we stopped in at the Roadside America – The world’s greatest indoor miniature village. It’s located Shartlesville Pennsylvania.

Once you pay your admission and get inside the building you’ll be amazed at all of the miniature villages that they have set up on display. There are HUNDREDS of little buildings, roads, train tracks & depots, vehicles, people and more! Everything is in miniature scale but looks very realistic!

This place is fantastic and makes for a very affordable and family-friendly activity. Admission ranges from $3.75 to $6.75 per person and they are open year-round…although their hours of operation do vary.

We went for a visit as a family and really enjoyed it. I loved seeing how local towns looked many years ago. Some of these villages have been beautifully and accurately re-created. Very interesting and a great learning & history lesson to go along with it.

Do you and your family enjoy visiting the less “obscure” tourist attractions? Have you ever visited Roadside America Miniature Indoor Village before?
