You can also but stuff in the gift shop too. Theres tons of brochures and coupons to pick up for everything immaginable.

Great place to get info for sightseeing & local ideas for the bucks county area, historical info & maps. Helpful staff. At Christmas time there are a lot of trees on display for a scavenger hunt & also a lovely classical ensemble from students.

I wouldn't normally expected a Visitor Center to be a destination. But this place had a lot of neat dioramas about history and the movie that shows regularly. When we were there there was also a Christmas tree competition and middle schoolers doing pretty good music Acts

Really nice place to get information about what is going on event wise in the local area. They routinely have art and craft displays by local artist that are very nice, free and open to the public. Some displays that are up permanently talk about famous people from Bucks County, also worth a read if you appreciate this area. They are also home to one of the Bucks County Horse Statues that you may see dotted around the county.

My sisters and I had such a wonderful visit to the Visitor Center today. The Christmas Tree Display and Scavenger Hunt were such fun. The employees are very pleasant and accomodating, too. Unique display of razor art was most enjoyable. Thanks for helping to put us in the holiday spirit.

It's a great option for a rainy day. It's a mini free museum. There is usually a display or discussion going on. They have great bucks county items in the gift shop and the ladies who work there are so helpful.

The ladies behind the desk more funny, friendly and knowledgeable. The trees were decorated beautifully, we had a nice time trying to find "Bucky" the deer amongst the decorations. Will definitely want to go back when they have other events.

Very knowlegable staff. They have plenty of suggestions, make calls to find out about things rather than telling you to do it yourself and they know where the brochures and pamplets are located. Always friendly!!

Workers are very friendly and here to help! We went for the Christmas Trees and WILL be back. Took my 1 yo and 3 yo we spent about 2 hours between looking at the trees, they have a nice variety of photo props to play with, paintings to look at, coloring and scavenger hut. The time flew. The trees were Amazing!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. They have cool stuff around as well history and Broadway and even a train set up!

I plan a visit every Christmas to see the trees and vote on the one that I like best, it's a relaxing and family related fun. This year was a choir and a short Dickens Christmas enactment. There's crafts and a picture spot for the children, new this year is a working wooden train set the children really enjoy along with their dads. I strongly encourage everyone to visit, you will not be disappointed!

I took my granddaughter there today to see the Christmas displays they have set up for the holidays. I have visited the Center before and have always found the people there to be both informative and pleasant. The wooden interior architecture is really cool and I must admit I enjoy looking at how the building is constructed. So, if your looking for information on all types of Bucks County venues there is no better place to conduct your research and gather information.
