Immortalized in the popular Billy Joel song, Allentown is a lovely city in the Lehigh Valley with more than its share of things to do. If you are traveling with kids, you can be sure they will not get bored. For the nerdy ones, the interactive, entertaining, and educational Imagi Nation will offer endless fun – it is a pretend world of business where they can try different careers. For the more active kids, the seasonal Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom will provide over 100 rides and attractions such as eight roller coasters. Car fans will enjoy beautiful antique cars at the America on Wheels Museum or trucks at the Mack Trucks Historical Museum.

Take the kids to see the Liberty Bell, which was hidden from the British soldiers underneath the local church and learn a bit about Allentown history. And to cool off, stroll through the verdant paths of the Cedar Beach Park or Allentown Rose Gardens.
