Review by John Frye

Super easy access to and from Highway 30. Ample parking for today's visit as well. Great history lesson on the brand. Building was tidy and being actively cleaned. All the exhibits and activities were operational. The building flowed well, with clear delineation between sections. The highlight of the trip is obviously the selection of complimentary I've tastings. All varieties were in stock today with clear allergy markings on display. Overall a great experience for a once or twice a year visit.

It's very nice that you get to learn about ice cream and how to make it, however, the ice cream that they allow to sample wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I also wish I could learn more about the company & the family. The taste testing area, making your own ice cream, and advertising your ice cream is really cool & and we had a ball during the production of our commercials. This was my favorite part. It is worth the money, but the taste testing at the very end of the tour I'm not very fond of.

Amazing, must visit! Worth the drive from Lancaster or Hershey on a family vacation. They’ve done such a great job telling the story of Turkey Hill, but also the area they call home. Loved the iced tea and ice cream tasting! I’ve been sending a field trip group here for years, and they always come back raving but I’m glad I got to see it myself! (Our field trip group gets to do the ice cream lab also, which they love!)

Turkey Hill is one of my favorite brands, so having the chance to learn some of the history behind the company and how they make their ice cream was really interesting. My mom and I got to make our own ice cream flavors and try different kinds of teas. It was fun to go through the self-guided interactive museum as well. Very kid friendly, but fun for adults too.

Review by Jean Dykes

This is a great family fun activity! We had a blast making our own ice cream and learning new things. There is a lot to do and see, and a very cute gift shop downstairs. Highly recommend, but it is a teensy bit hard to keep track of the kids if you're outnumbered. 😊

About Columbia, Pennsylvania

Columbia, formerly Wright's Ferry, is a borough (town) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 10,222. It is 28 miles (45 km) southeast of Harrisburg, on the east (left) bank of the Susquehanna River, across from Wrightsville and York County and just south of U.S. Route 30. The settlement was founded in 1726 by Colonial English Quakers from Chester County, led by entrepreneur and evangelist John Wright. Establishment of the eponymous Wright's Ferry, the first commercial Susquehanna crossing in the region, inflamed territorial conflict with neighboring Maryland but brought growth and prosperity to the small town, which was just a few votes shy of becoming the new United States' capital. Though besieged for a short while by Civil War destruction, Columbia remained a lively center of transport and industry throughout the 19th century, and was once the terminus of the Pennsylvania Canal. Later, however, the Great Depression and 20th-century ... Read More

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
