It was very interesting to see a Pagoda on top of a mountain. The views of Reading from it were gorgeous. Its free and worth a look.

The top floor will give an... More

Note, my most recent visit was October 2011, however, I live in Philadelphia and thus have been to Reading and to see the pagoda a number of times. The pagoda is interesting, and a clime to the top provides an excellent view, but that's about all there is to it. If you are in Reading, then it's worth the effort... More

The locals will tell you that the Pagoda is over-rated and they're right. It's definitely a nice alternative to shopping the outlets and it's a pleasant drive up the Mt. Penn mountain but it is only open (at least during the winter) Saturdays and Sundays. Even if it's closed it's a great view from the property and you can get... More

Great view and skyline of the city of Reading. If you come to Reading, it's the #1 attraction. Hosts local artwork. Worth the trip up the mountain...

This place is a local landmark. There used to ne a restaurant here but now I believe just a gift shop with snack bar on the main level, Higher levels include museum type gallery and sometimes art exhibits. The view from the top is 360 degrees and there's an ancient Chinese bell hanging there. There are numerous trails on Mount... More
