Ashton Cigar Bar
If you're new to cigars, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations. They’re really helpful, and my first choice wasn’t what I ended up loving, a friendly chat helped a ton!
Harrah's Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack
If you plan to bet on the horses, I recommend familiarizing yourself with some basic betting lingo beforehand. It saved me a lot of confusion and time at the betting window.
My advice is to use the Players Club card for discounts and rewards. I saved a little on food, and it really adds up if you’re planning to stay a while.
Just a heads up: the parking fee can be a bit high. I suggest looking for local street parking if you can find it; it can save you a few bucks.
I suggest arriving between 10 AM and 12 PM. It's less crowded, and you can grab some good breakfast deals at the buffet before hitting the slots.
One Liberty Observation Deck
Try to visit around 9 AM when they open. The crowds were way smaller, and I got some awesome photos without a ton of people in the background.
I suggest buying tickets online rather than at the door. It saved me both time and money, plus I got a little discount for booking in advance!
New Hope Railroad
My advice is to bring snacks or a picnic. The snacks on board were kinda pricey for what you get. Plus, it’s nice to munch while enjoying the scenic views!
I suggest taking the earlier train around 10 AM. Parking fills up fast, and I ended up walking a bit. Plus, the morning light is perfect for photos of the beautiful countryside!
I think you should consider going on a weekday if you can. The crowds were way lighter when I visited, and it felt more relaxed. Weekend rides can get pretty busy!
I recommend checking the schedule in advance for special events or themed rides, like the wine train. It adds a fun twist, and tickets sell out fast! Trust me, I missed out on one because I didn't plan ahead.
