What travelers are saying
- Crusader77Washington Crossing, PA37 contributionsWe live about 25 minutes away and have always wanted to visit but never got around to it. I’m so glad we finally did! Fonthill is such a unique place - equal parts weird, wonderful, mysterious and fascinating, it’s unlike any “home” you’ve ever been to (yes, it was the residence of one man, Henry Mercer). But the best part was our tour guide, Joe. He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with patience and good humor. JUST GO - you’ll be glad you did. NOTE: This is not a tour for people that have mobility issues as there are many stairs involved.Written April 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NancyDPAHorsham, PA218 contributionsThe Mercer Museum is incredible! My adult son was in town from California and I wanted something "touristy" for us to do that was NOT in Philadelphia. After living near here for almost 30 years, this was our first visit, and it did not disappoint. Mr. Mercer was a collector of pre-industrial tools and designed and built this museum to house his collection. It is six stories tall and displays such things as a grist mill, a gallows, a whaleboat, and a very interesting vampire hunting kit. The museum is full of so many interesting artifacts you could spend days in there and not see everything. The building itself is poured concrete and has many quirky rooms, corners and stairs.Written March 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emily MAlbrightsville, PA29 contributionsWe drove about 1.5 hr to get here, so I was nervous I was going to be disappointed, but it was sooo worth the trip! We spent 4 hours here and could've stayed longer. Pack a lunch, there are plenty of shaded tables. My son is only 2 so I didn't know if the castle would be dangerous, but I was able to climb through most parts with him, and he really did fine all by himself. He even went down the big slides all by himself countless times. He had a blast, and so did I! Can't wait for more warm weather to come back.Written October 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jeniferjaronsonMarion, IN14 contributionsFive out of five.
Thoroughly enjoyed the quality and size of this art museum’s exhibits where I could linger and not exhaust myself traipsing through many large halls or a larger art museum. The outdoor sculpture garden, the outstanding gift shops, and of course, the temporary exhibits, were all memorable and inspiring. The Japanese wood block exhibit was very thorough in its representation and explanations of the process. Even the sales lady taking admission and ringing up purchases was unusually kind and welcoming. Highly recommend going.Written July 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Look at what the crafters are selling. Listen to the music. Watch the dances. And, then, there is the beautiful amber jewelry and the delicious food. There is PLENTY of parking for the thousands of travelers who want to visit here. The stained glass windows and sculptures are stunning.Written September 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brian MLaurel, MD138 contributionsIf you go to the castle, go next door and take the short tour and see the video. Helps you appreciate Mercer’s tile creations and the tile in his house. Watch a craftsman make tiles from local clay, just as it was done a hundred years ago.Written October 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Turall4 contributionsDoylestown is a cozy and charming town, combining history with the modern. Many great restaurants and good food. One Saturday night, there was dining in the street, as one block was closed off and all the restaurants moved chairs/tables and service into the street. Music added to the fun. Fun sites are: Pearl S. Buck home; downtown Doylestown; Mosaic Tile Museum; Mercer MuseumWritten September 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeanne S4 contributionsWithin walking distance from the middle of Doylestown is a museum filled with Civil War history.
Last night their guides gave an informative tour of the Doylestown Cemetery which focused on the residents of Doylestown who served, and some died, during the Civil War.
I learned the meaning of "Saved by the bell".Written October 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This one is located not far from a friend's house in SE PA, so we visited one recent Saturday, getting there right about noon.
Quaint, rustic building with outdoor patio area and rolling vineyards in a valley below. Very pretty.
There was nobody else there, so my friend & I had the bar to ourselves. The young lady offering the tastings was very pleasant and didn't rush us at all. All the wines were drinkable (unlike some other places) with the Blaufränkisch being my personal favorite. Only a half dozen or so wineries in PA/NJ grow that grape, Vivat Alfa being one of them.
Good value, very pleasant experience.Written August 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Staff works at a quick pace to attend to customer needs. Parking is difficult and the location is not directly on Main Street, but well worth the effort.
Located on each side of a walkway, the restaurant and pub are on opposing sides of the walkway. For my wife and I, a favorite.Written November 10, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
