Things To Do
The Rosemary House
While the tea shop is a delight for all kinds of teas and other souvenirs, you must venture to the backyard (past the Book Tardis) and explore the gardens. This is where Hannah proposed to Alli! (Warning: In August, you'll wish you brought bug spray!)
Rakestraw's Ice Cream
No trip is complete without ice cream! Stop at Rakestraw's for a local favorite!
Mechanicsburg Museum Association
About a three minutes walk from our home, we love to visit the Mechanicsburg Museum every time there's a new exhibit in the Freight Station! A great (free) place to learn some Mechanicsburg history!
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park
Need a place to walk, run, or play? Check out Soldiers and Sailors! If you walk enough, you might find the community garden that we help with.
Dough n Joe - Mechanicsburg
This spot has became one of our Saturday go-to's with amazing donuts (Hannah loves the cinnamon roll) and great coffee.
Kanagawa
There's so many great restaurants in Mechanicsburg to choose from, so here's a couple! Kanagawa has great Japanese food and a calm atmosphere.
Hellenic Kouzina
If you are interested in Greek food, Hellenic Kouzina is a crowd favorite!
Water Golf on City Island
If you decide to venture out into Harrisburg, we have to recommend that you play Water Golf on City Island. This was our first date spot, so it's really where the magic began. We recommend parking in one of the main lots when you first enter the island (unless there's a Senator's Game!) and then walking back to mini golf. There is a closer parking lot, but it might be a little harder to navigate there if it's your first time. When you're done, you can get ice cream where you got your clubs, go to the Beach Club for a drink, or walk across the walking bridge to the city while you have free parking.
