Wildwood Park Is A Fascinating Spot In Pennsylvania That’s Right Out Of A Fairy Tale

Pennsylvania’s bursting with gems, some so hidden that we’ve never heard of them. Or maybe we’ve heard of them, but we just haven’t had the chance to visit. Some, in fact, may even make us feel as though we’ve journeyed far from our homes into a storybook. Step through the front entrance of Wildwood Park in Pennsylvania, where you’ll discover a fairy tale setting far from life’s noise.

Nestled in Central Pennsylvania, not too far from Harrisburg, Wildwood Park will likely make you feel as though you're a million miles away.
