Hershey, Pennsylvania is all about chocolate. It is the home of the famous Hershey’s Chocolate Company and Hershey’s Chocolate World, found right next to Hersheypark. The park houses 13 slides that run down the middle in drops, loops, twists, and turns that make a visit to Hershey’s worthwhile to experience how amazing they are. But, of course, there’s all that chocolate – try it at Hershey’s Chocolate World, visit the Hershey History Museum, and stay at the Hershey Hotel, the official resort of Hersheypark, which includes a chocolate spa to enjoy a luxurious cocoa nibs bath.
All 68 rides and 9 themed areas are decorated in the style of Hershey’s chocolate company. The park has 11 roller coasters, carousels, a Ferris wheel, children’s and family entertainment. In the summer, there is an outdoor water area with 16 slides and a children’s playground, and entertainment shows are held on the stage.
The ticket office sells Fast Track Passes, which allow you to go on rides without waiting in line. The park’s website allows you to buy entrance tickets and book a room in one of the three hotel complexes. The park has dozens of snack and beverage kiosks, as well as several cafes (including those with kosher and gluten-free food).
