The Ultimate Family Adventure: Bricks, Bends, and River Blends
Distance 25 Miles / 30 Minutes: Day 1: Build Memories at LEGOLAND® New York
Why choose between a theme park and the great outdoors when you can have both? At Parkway House Goshen, we’ve perfected the "Land and Water" itinerary. Located in the heart of Orange County, our boutique Victorian Bed & Breakfast serves as the ideal home base for families looking to conquer LEGOLAND® New York one day and navigate the scenic Delaware River the next.
Start your vacation just 4 minutes away from the gates of the ultimate LEGO® adventure. Being so close means you can beat the crowds to Miniland and still make it back to your spacious suite for a mid-afternoon rest.
+ Host Tip: After a day of building and riding, unwind on our wrap-around porch with views of the Goshen Historic Track—it's the perfect "quiet zone" after the high-energy fun of the park.
Day 2: Splash Down the Delaware River
Just a short 30-minute drive from our front door, the Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River offers some of the best family-friendly whitewater rafting in the Northeast. Unlike the intense rapids of the West, the Delaware provides a perfect mix of "Class I and II" ripples and calm swimming holes.
