We usually go to Hershey one day then spend an extra day in Lancaster area doing local stuff. This yr Hershey not being open so where can we go? I know we don’t have to go anywhere however, we have had an extremely difficult summer and it would be really nice to getaway for a few nights. Toddler to teens. Bh ur teens are very easy going they aren’t very picky but they also will have zero interest in storybook land

AFAIK there's no sukkah or minyan in Lake George this year, only in Saratoga Springs, which is almost 45 minutes away.

There's a good chance that either Degel Israel or Chabad there will have, but definitely contact them beforehand to confirm and find out if it's open to the public and during what hours.

Niagara is so so far from nyc we can’t travel by car so many hours.
Is lake George good for this time of yr?
What else is there to do in Lancaster? We have pop up sukkah bh so no issues with needing one

An enhanced driver's license (REAL ID) or a passport. Not a regular license
