Covering 2,394 square miles of northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pocono Mountains region is a magnificent area of rolling mountains, thundering waterfalls, ancient forests, and winding rivers. If you are traveling with kids, it is the place to go skiing, snowboarding, snow sliding, or snowshoeing in the winter.

In the summer, you can take them hiking and biking, whitewater rafting, fishing, and wildlife observing. To get more up close with the animals, Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park has more than 100 species of animals. Costa's Family Fun Park near Lake Wallenpaupack in Pike County offers go-karts, bumper boats, and laser tag. Indoor laser tag is also a game of choice at Camelback Lodge. Nobody can ever get bored at the Poconos.
