Palmyra is known for thin crust pizza, but it doesn't end there. The thin-crust pizzas you'll get in Palmyra could be Neapolitan or Roman-style as well as, on occasion, New York-style. Whether the reason the Palmyra pizzerias bake so much thin crust could be because the chefs are descendants of Italian families from the Naples and Rome regions of Italy, or it could be they're just trying to make their dough go just that bit further. Traditional thin crusts like Roman and Neapolitan-style are super bakes that have crispy edges with only a slightly softer center. They hold up to being topped with all manner of extra ingredients exceptionally well and are often favored by pizzerias that bake gourmet pies. Pizza perfection is a basic Margarita made with a thin base smothered in a good tomato sauce and finished with mozzarella. If you've never had a simple pie like that, maybe it's time to try one.

Harrisburg

If you're looking for somewhere to go where you can get a full history fix then you should head for Harrisburg. Harrisburg is just a twenty-mile trip from Palmyra and a place where you can visit museums practically until you drop. Two of the most interesting are the State Museum of Pennsylvania and the National Civil War Museum. If you prefer art to history then you won't want to miss browsing the works on display in the Susquehanna Art Museum. If you need to, you can work up an appetite strolling along the waterside trail in the Riverfront Park before going for a pizza in Palumbo's Italian Eatery on North 2nd Street.

Lancaster

Entertaining kids is never easy, but you can take the strain off keeping them amused if you go to Lancaster. Lancaster is a thirty-mile drive south of Palmyra, so a trip that'll take around forty minutes. Once in Lancaster, take the youngsters to the Lancaster Science Factory which is a specialist kids museum with lots of interactive exhibits to pique their curiosity. The North Museum of Nature and Science will interest them too as there are lots of hands-on exhibits and a planetarium to wow them. It probably won't wow them quite as much as a visit to the Dutch Wonderland amusement park followed by a pizza at Slugger's Pizzeria on North Queen Street will.

Middletown

To enjoy some outdoor time in spectacular settings, head from Palmyra to Middletown which is around a twelve-mile journey all told. If canoeing and kayaking are what float your boat then you'll be heading straight for the Swatara Creek Water Trail. The trail is a forty-mile-long section of the creek where there are lots of interesting historic buildings. If you'd rather hike on land than paddle downstream, you'll find the Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Trail a pleasant, easy trek through wooded countryside, or for something a little more testing, try the Conewago Recreation Trail. After you're exhausted from doing either, drop by Tony's Pizzeria on West Main Street and recover over a pizza.
