The team at Where & When Pennsylvania created the PA Family Travel Fair to bring destinations and attractions from all over the state to you in one location. Of course, you can go to whereandwhen.com and search for things to do in Pennsylvania, but there’s something to be said for talking to someone face to face. You can ask questions that perhaps aren’t answered on a website.

Travel pros from PA destinations will have all the information and takeaways that you need to plan your summer vacation or weekend getaway in Pennsylvania. Outdoor recreation, historical sites, amusement parks, camping resorts, unique lodging, annual events, and museums will be represented at the travel fair. There are no gimmicks or sales, but we can’t guarantee that you won’t want to grab a bite at one of our onsite food trucks.

We hear every year that kids love this event as much as adults. While there are tons of ideas and information for grown-ups, kids enjoy all the activities we have for them to do as well, and it’s all free! This year children can have passports “stamped” by exhibitors for a chance to win a day at DelGrosso’s Amusement Park & Laguna Splash for eight!

“It’s the most fun you’ll have planning your vacation!”
