Welcome to Allentown!

There is a lot to see and plenty of history to enjoy when you take a Downtown Walking Tour or drive through the City of Allentown. The City has a wonderful district known as Old Allentown which features Victorian-style homes that have been restored to their past splendor. Allentown is proud of its new federal building and its new County Government Center. The architecture of these buildings and many others in our Downtown area is a sight to see, and it's a good idea to stop and look up every now and then in order to fully appreciate the beauty of these buildings.

Some of the top choices for visitors around the city include:

Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom
3830 Dorney Park Rd, Allentown, PA 18104
+1 610-395-3724
It's doubtful that Solomon Dorney ever imagined that one of the longest, tallest and fastest roller coasters in the Northeast would be sweeping over his shady picnic groves and trout ponds. However, this resort has become one of the greatest family amusement parks in the country. Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is 200 acres of more than 100 rides, games, restaurants and attractions for the entire family. With two great Parks for the price of one, the value is unprecedented in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Allentown Fairgrounds Agricultural Hall
302 N 17th St, Allentown, PA 18104
+1 610-433-7541
This 46-acre complex in the city's beautiful west end is home not only to the world-renown Allentown Fair during the week leading up to the Labor Day holiday. It boasts events and attractions all year round. Worth the visit the area's leading expo center, with different trade shows or exhibitions every weekend..

Liberty Bell Shrine Museum
622 Hamilton St, Allentown, PA 19083
+1 610-435-4232
Allentown holds historical significance as the location where the Liberty Bell (then known as the Pennsylvania State House bell) was hidden from the British during the American Revolutionary War. After Washington's defeat at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, the revolutionary capital of Philadelphia was defenseless, and that city prepared for the inevitable British attack.
