What's the best time to visit Pennsylvania?

I’m thinking about going to Penn State to do my master’s degree, but I want to visit the state first before I commit. When’s the best time of year to visit Pennsylvania?

Congratulations on the next step towards your master’s degree! Penn State is a great school, and you might also be surprised by how much there is to do in
Pennsylvania
. The best time to visit Pennsylvania is in late spring or early summer, as you can avoid major crowds and find cheaper accommodation.
While you’re planning for your trip, here are a few suggestions to get you rolling:
  • Hike in the Poconos, which is one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic areas.
  • Take a guided tour in
    Philadelphia
    to learn more about the nation’s former capital.
  • Ride a roller coaster or two and eat some chocolate at Hersheypark in
    Hershey
    .
  • Visit the historic Eastern State Penitentiary, which offers some insight into the early days of the American criminal justice system.
Since you’re going to be driving through the state, you may want to consider
towing and labor coverage
. It provides you with roadside assistance no matter where you are, which is helpful if you run out of gas or your battery dies. Do a bit of research to see what
car insurance
