Tips & Advice

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes for exploring downtown’s brick pathways, decorated storefronts, the park, and historic sights.
  • Dress warmly in layers because carolers, lights, and storefront displays are part of an outdoor downtown festival in December.
  • Use the bus for personal items you do not need during the visit; the organizer says belongings may be left onboard.
  • Budget separately for meals, railway rides, optional activities, and site entrances, since these costs are excluded from the trip.
  • Set aside extra money if you plan to take the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway or join other optional activities; these are not included.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway rides and other optional activities require separate fees.
