February may be cold, but there's still plenty to explore in Cumberland Valley! Whether you're hanging out with friends, your significant other, or your family, check out some of our top ideas for things to do in February.
For Friends
Sometimes you just need some time with your friends! Why not catch up as you sample different beers on the Cumberland Valley Beer Trail while enjoying a leisurely Sunday brunch?
Test out your skills at ax-throwing at Midway Bowling. Midway also offers bowling (including Rock 'N Bowl on Friday & Saturday evenings from 9:30 pm to 12:30 am), duckpin bowling, and a golf simulator. Or experience a high-speed adventure racing all-electric pro-karts on the professionally-designed indoor track at K1 Speed (formerly Autobahn Indoor Speedway).
For Friends... Daytime Fun
Embark on a magical adventure along Cumberland Valley’s seasonal Coffee & Chocolate Trail, where enticing aromas and delightful tastes await. Sip specialty drinks brewed to perfection and indulge in decadent, artisanal chocolates that live up to their reputation. With over 15 locations spanning Cumberland Valley, you can explore our charming towns during an enchanted journey that seamlessly combines the pleasures of rich coffee drinks and delicious confections.
For Couples
Don't confine your couple's activities to just Valentine's Day! Sign up for an in-person themed cooking class at The Kitchen Shoppe & Cooking School, check out the latest exhibit at Carlisle Arts Learning Center or get creative at one of their workshops, enjoy a performance at Carlisle Theatre or Luhrs Performing Arts Center, or bundle up and explore the winter scenery along Cumberland Valley's many hiking trails.
For Families
There are plenty of ways to keep the kids entertained in the Valley. Walk around downtown Carlisle and view over 100 ice sculptures at their annual Ice Art Fest during the first weekend in February, or burn off some energy with a winter hike at Pine Grove Furnace State Park. Other Family-Friendly Indoor Activities include arcade games, bowling, go-kart racing, and more.
For History Lovers
