🤯 Did you know? The entire park was inspired by a dream! Founder Bill Cohea fell asleep on a hillside while visiting the Scottish Isle of Iona and dreamed he was surrounded by circles of standing stones. Years later, he started building his own version right here in Pennsylvania.

Today there are 90+ megalithic stone settings scattered throughout the park — including one stone that weighs more than 30 TONS. Some of the rocks themselves are around 3.6 BILLION years old!

| One of those summer days we’ll be talking about for a long time. ⚾️❤️💙.

We had so much fun experiencing the Little League® World Series with the kids and with Original Bomb Pop | Ice Pop, the Official Ice Pop of the series.

From the Bomb Pop batting cage and custom trading cards to cooling down with an Original Bomb Pop, core memories were made.

Baseball, family time and the iconic red, white and blue Bomb Pops made for such a fun day. 🍧Little League
