Amish Farm and House

Amish Farm and House in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, offers a multi-part introduction to Amish life through guided tours and a self-guided 15-acre farm campus. The property sits adjacent to a commercial shopping center including a Target, which undercuts the rural atmosphere some visitors anticipate. Those traveling specifically for an isolated countryside experience should adjust expectations accordingly.

Guided house tours provide substantive educational content about Amish daily life and traditions

Guided house tours are led by knowledgeable staff who explain Amish customs, beliefs, and domestic practices in detail. The house tour is recommended for ages 5 and up, making it less accessible for families with toddlers. This component stands out for its depth and the expertise of the guides.

The 90-minute bus tour visits Amish farms with stops for handmade quilts and baked goods

Bus tours pass working Amish farms, a schoolhouse, and workshops where visitors can observe traditional craftsmanship and purchase handmade items. The experience includes opportunities to interact with Amish locals. Guide quality on bus tours appears inconsistent—some guides are engaging and informative while others fall short of the standard set by the house tour staff.

The self-guided farm tour features animals, historic buildings, and traditional tools across 15 acres

The farm campus includes farm animals, horses, tractors, a playground, and multiple historic structures with informational signage. The grounds contain numerous photography spots and a gift shop. Allow at least four hours to explore everything at a leisurely pace. Some visitors have noted maintenance issues including empty hay bins in the horse area and litter along walkways.
