    What you'll see and do

    1. Amish Country

      Enjoy a traditional Amish family-style meal, served at the home of one of our Amish neighbors. We work with an Amish family who has a catering license. They prepare the food, a menu of delicious, hearty, authentic Amish favorites. They have the fully licensed, inspected, and ServSafe certified kitchen, but they don’t have the space to host the meal. So, we work with another Amish family to host the meal. They have the room for hosting guests, but not the commercial kitchen. Combining the expertise of these two Amish families, we are able to offer a guided tour in our 14 passenger mini bus, which culminates with the wonderful PA Dutch meal, cooked and served by Amish at their home. The whole experience takes 2.5 hours. The tour departs from the Amish Experience at 4:30pm sharp. We do an hour of farmland touring, making a quick stop at an Amish road-side quilt or craft shop, and then arrive at the farm for the meal at 5:30pm. You return to the Amish Experience at around 7:00pm.

    Terrific!

    The family and the meal were amazing. Loved the informative tour. I would add a little more time in the shop. Too rushed. Setting was everything above.

    Meal in an Amish Home Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lancaster.

    How much does Meal in an Amish Home Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lancaster usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Meal in an Amish Home Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lancaster is not rushed.

    Is Meal in an Amish Home Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lancaster, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Meal in an Amish Home Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Meal in an Amish Home Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Meal in an Amish Home Experience?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lancaster can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lancaster and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Meal in an Amish Home Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lancaster within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lancaster?

    +

    Lancaster, PA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Lancaster by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Lancaster experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Amish Country Tour including Amish Farm and House, Amish Experience Visit-In-Person Tour, Unique Amish Immersion in Lancaster. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lancaster?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Lancaster, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lancaster?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
