Things to Do
The Crowne Plaza Philadelphia -
Valley Forge Hotel features
first-class hotel
accommodations, elegant ballrooms, the dedicated
Liberty Conference Center, and award- winning cuisine.
Aside from hunting for history, prowling for purchases may be the second most popular sport in Montgomery County. Main streets in nearby Skippack, Ardmore and Ambler overflow with specialty shops and unique bistros. Name brands are available at deep dis- counts at the Philadelphia Premium Outlets. And the shoppers’ nir- vana, the King of Prussia Mall, stands as the largest retail shopping complex on the East Coast.
Discover America’s rich history in the 3,500-acre Valley Forge National Historical Park, where Washington encamped and rallied the Continental Army during the winter of 1777-1778. A wealth of historic homes scattered throughout the county beckon to be explored.
Try your luck at the new upscale Valley Forge Casino Resort and experience the area’s nightlife at Deuces Wild Buckin’ Bull Saloon, which offers a fusion of country, rock and everything in between, where guests escape the ordinary and ride a mechanical bull, sip on specialty drinks from a glass boot, and enjoy signature wings served in a metal bucket.
Walk, hike or bike nearly 60 miles of multi-purpose interconnected trails that weave throughout Montgomery County. Zip-line at Spring Mountain Adventures for an adrenaline rush, or kayak at Green Lane Park for a more peaceful escape.
Explore a menagerie of unique museums, including: The Stoogeum, the only museum dedicated to The Three Stooges; and the Wharton Esherick Museum, the studio and home of the famous wood-sculptor and artist who has been called the “Dean of American Craftsmen.”
Travel through a trove of Americana at the American Treasure Tour, an extensive collection of automated music machines, department store animatronics, classic cars, movie memorabilia and circus-themed displays. There is so much to see here that the items are housed in a renovated 1.2- million-square-foot tire fac- tory, through which visitors are comfortably shuttled via tram cars. This unique gath- ering of pieces of the past has affectionately been called “grandma’s attic on steroids.”
