Lancaster, PA (And Hershey Park) Master Thread

[EliJelly]

Plenty to do with standard admission. Our family enjoyed it better than any amusement park we've ever been to. All ages enjoyed.

There was a minyan for Mincha announced at 2:30pm and another one at closing time 5pm.

Great park indeed. Very creative farm activity, especially for city dwellers being on the farm enjoying the nature and still have fun stuff. My little ones would stay in the corn kernel house forever.

Wasn't an issue where we davened at 2:30pm, but music on PA was a bit of an issue (and had to pause חזרת הש"ץ when the train passed).

I just realized today that "Corn Maze" is a pun.

Amish are christian. Christianity is classified as avodah zara. There is an issur to study avoda zara, including lifestyle when the lifestyle is part of their belief system.

פירוש המשנה לרמב"ם מסכת עבודה זרה פרק א משנה ד
ולפיכך כל מה שבהן אסור בהנאה. ולפיכך יש לדעת שכל עיר מערי האומה הנוצרית שיש להם בה במה, רצוני לומר בית תפילתם, אשר הוא בית עבודה זרה בלא ספק, הרי זו העיר אין מותר לעבור בה בכוונה, וכל שכן לדור בה. אבל ה' מסרנו בידיהם עד שנדור בעריהם בעל כרחנו, לקיים ייעודו הרע "ועבדתם שם אלהים מעשה ידי אדם עץ ואבן".

IINM it is not so simple. Different denominations might have a different Halacha.
