If you’re anything like me, planning a family getaway means finding a place that checks all the boxes: fun for the kids, comfy for the grown-ups, and filled with magical moments that spark joy. That’s exactly what we found at the Cartoon Network Hotel in Lancaster, PA—a one-of-a-kind experience that truly brought our family vacation dreams to life.
Why We Fell in Love with This Cartoon-Inspired Hotel
From the moment you step into the bright, character-filled lobby, you’ll know this place is not your average hotel. It’s actually the world’s first Cartoon Network Hotel, and yes—it’s just as awesome as it sounds!
We stayed in one of their amazing rooms, and let me tell you, it felt like stepping right into a cartoon. Our kid couldn’t stop smiling (and bouncing on the bed!). Every room is themed, colorful, and designed to delight little fans of shows like Adventure Time, Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, and We Bare Bears.
Family Fun Around Every Corner
What really stood out for us was how family-centered this hotel is. With 159 guest rooms, a full-service restaurant, and both an indoor and outdoor pool and outdoor splash pad, there was always something exciting to do. My littlest especially loved the on-site video game arcade, while I appreciated the Keurig coffee bar in our room featuring locally sourced coffee—because let’s be honest, we parents need our fuel too!
Some other family-friendly highlights:
- Complimentary Wi-Fi and mini fridge in every room
- Seasonal poolside cabanas and grab-and-go snacks
- Huge parking area (so helpful for big families!)
- Group packages and Stay & Play offers with Dutch Wonderland

Steps Away from Dutch Wonderland & More Attractions
Another reason we chose the Cartoon Network Hotel in Lancaster, PA was its amazing location—just steps away from Dutch Wonderland, our family’s favorite amusement park! We were able to walk right over after breakfast and come back to the hotel for pool time afterward. It seriously made our trip seamless.
Other nearby attractions we loved:
- Tanger Outlets Lancaster (perfect for some mom-time shopping!)
- Golden Corral (so. much. food.)
- The Amish Village and Sight & Sound Theatre
