3 Day Two Night Chol Hamoed Family Trip

[BrooklynCPA]

Anyone have any original ideas for a 3 day 2 night trip from NYC. We are going with a few families and have children from ages 2 to 15. Places like DC or Philadelphia are mostly museums and will not work for the little kids.

This past chol Hamoed Succos we went to Lancaster. We stayed in a villa at the Best Western Eden resort (http://www.edenresort.com), an amazing place for families. There is Hershey Park (closed this chol Hamoed), Dutch Wonderland, Cherry Crest Farm, Herrs Potato Trip Factory and Turkey Hill experience in that area among other Lancaster attractions. So there was something for all ages.

We are looking for something similar or maybe even more original or off the beat and track!!! Feel free to give suggestions.

There should also be a minyan for shacharis within driving distance.

Not much to do in Poconos. We are looking for someplace more exciting and different.

Cedar point in sandusky OH

-1, they don't open until 05/12.

There are a number of indoor waterparks in Sandusky and there is an indoor amusement park during April in the IX Center just next door to CLE airport.
There's also the Football HOF in the CAK area.  The Indians will be playing the Jays and the White Sox during Chol Ha'moed, though no kosher hot dogs then!  The Cavs will be playing the Bobcats and Pacers during Chol Ha'moed.

What about Lake George?

[BrooklynCPA]

How about Niagara falls?

Niagra Falls would be a good idea but we've been there about 10 times as my inlaws used to live in toronto.

What about Lake George?

I looked into Lake George but there isn't much that open during Choel Hamoed. The Six Flags indoor water park looks great we have too many older boys and Girls.

Keep the ideas coming!

Cape cod? Haven't been in ages but we used to go every summer
