10 days in Scranton Itinerary

Scranton is the sixth-largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania behind Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie and Reading. Venture out of the city with trips to Pocono Snake & Animal Farm (in East Stroudsburg), Lakota Wolf Preserve (in Columbia) and Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark (in Tannersville). There's still lots to do: get in on the family fun at Knoebels Amusement Resort, immerse yourself in nature at Ricketts Glen State Park, take in the dramatic scenery at Bushkill Falls, and see the interesting displays at Northeast Classic Car Museum.
