City Island

We will be in Harrisburg/Hershey for one day. Would like to see part of Harrisburg also. Is the City Island worth going to?

City Island

If you are looking for a relaxing hour or two, City Island might be worth a visit. It offers a very picturesque view of the Harrisburg riverfront. You can have lunch at Riverside Village, ride the Pride of the Susquehanna riverboat, play Water Golf (mini golf), ride a carousel and miniature railroad, batting cages, and take a horse carriage ride.
