New Hope Railroad

Heritage trains have departed the 1891 Witch's Hat station on West Bridge Street since 1966, rolling south through the Buckingham Valley on tracks first laid by the North-East Pennsylvania Railroad. The lineup now includes four-person pedal-assist rail bikes if you would rather ride the rails at 5 mph yourself.

Address: 32 W. Bridge Street, New Hope, PA 18938

Menlo Park

The carousel here has been spinning since Perkasie families first pooled their money for one in 1891, and the current Allan Herschell model has run since 1951. Come summer there's a public pool and a playground with a zip line, but the merry-go-round is the reason you drive over.

Perkasie Carousel

A carousel that's been part of Menlo Park since 1892, now run by the Perkasie Historical Society for about a dozen days a year. Check the schedule before you load the kids in the car — it's dark most of the summer, and catching a day it actually turns is half the point.
