Stop By & Say Hi

Visitors Center

When planning your trip to Lancaster, make sure you include some time to stop by the Discover Lancaster Visitors Center to learn about all the services Lancaster County has to offer.

Having visited visitor centers all over America, we finally visited our local center and found friendly and helpful staff, a modern and spacious building which included an art gallery showcasing the works of local artists. The Discover Lancaster is an attraction in itself. Make this your first stop!
