Summer hasn’t officially arrived, but it’s time to plan a sweet getaway to visit one or all of the 51 creameries along Pennsylvania’s Ice Cream Trail this summer. Pennsylvania’s 8th annual Ice Cream Trail connects farm families with ice cream lovers and will take visitors all across Pennsylvania to more exciting dairy destinations than ever.

Our dairy farms (99% are family owned) are an important part of Pennsylvania’s rich culinary and agricultural history – Pennsylvania’s Ice Cream Trail is a delicious way for visitors to support local businesses while spending time with friends and family.

Travelers on the Ice Cream Trail can plan their adventures, learn about participating creameries, and sign up free at visitpa.com/scooped. Dedicated dairy lovers can accumulate points by visiting trail stops and making purchases. Points accumulated from May 30 to September 7 earn prizes through the digital passport.

You will receive a commemorative metal tumbler for logging six stops, and visiting 10 stops will earn you an entry into a grand prize drawing to win an overnight getaway to Lancaster County to experience “life on the farm.” Redeeming points from 16 trail stops can earn both the tumbler and an entry to win the grand prize.
