Plan the day
Country Junction is a general store and family fun center on Interchange Road in Lehighton, PA, with nearly two acres under one roof, outdoor amusement rides, a petting farm and a fall pumpkin festival.
Nearly two acres under one roof: a Pennsylvania Dutch bakery, fudge and candy, Ace Hardware and Ashley Furniture stores, a pet department, an arcade, upside-down bumper cars, mini bowling and a petting zoo and farm. From late September the Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival adds hayrides, a corn maze, carnival rides and laser tag for $15 on weekends and half price on weekdays, and the Christmas Village takes over from Black Friday.
