Things To Do

Tucked away behind all those cornfields, the Keystone State is full of wonders that few people know about. Sure, we might not have Disney World or the Las Vegas Strip - but we do have plenty of unique places to visit in Pennsylvania. 

Hidden gems aplenty, you probably never heard of this let alone been here, but about an hour outside of Pittsburgh you will find a handsome castle on a hill fit for a fairytale; and you can actually venture inside! 

With October fast approaching, you are most definitely dotting your i's and crossing your t's on that spooky bucket list. But if you are missing the Hotel Conneaut then you should probably make a little extra room; every pun intended. 

If you're in search of a little haunting, this hotel has the ghosts for you. As part of Conneaut Lake Park - you know, that little itty-bitty theme park that your grandparents probably went to once or twice as a kid - the Hotel Conneaut has been around for a pretty darn long time.

I can think of several reasons why you need to take a vacation, like to get away from the bi-polar Pittsburgh weather, to treat yourself, and most importantly, because flights are going cheap.

We totally understand that this is the time of the year when you are trying to save money so you can get everyone those gifts they deserve, and that is why we have rounded up these amazing round-trip flight deals all over the world you can book right now - you know, so you can finally invest in a little R&R for #1 and still have money left over for the holidays.

While saving your money is definitely important so you can treat your loved ones to those well-deserved gifts, you totally deserve to treat yourself too. 

Luckily Groupon is here to help you do just that, but for a fraction of the price and without the hassle of dodging crowds of crazy determined deal shoppers. In fact, you may just be able to find some cheap gifts as well - saving you more money to spend on the things you've been wanting.
