A place that I've loved to visit for many years has been Hersheypark, in the summer or in the fall/winter I just love going there. What is not to love? Just leaving the city and visiting the quaint town of Hershey PA, brings me to my happy place. 

This past weekend we took a little road trip 90 miles up the PA Turnpike to Hershey to have some fun at Hersheypark. This fun family playground has been a part of PA for over 100 years. Originally built in 1907 this park was a nice place Milton S. Hershey built for the his employees so that they could enjoy picnicking and boating.

Today’s Hersheypark is sprawled over a vast 121 lovely acres.  The tree filled park to me is unlike any amusement park I have ever been to. From the chocolate treats that are everywhere, there are bars, ice cream, cakes and more.  The park is filled with hills (so be sure to pack your sneakers) and there is so much to see everywhere. 

For me Hersheypark has a more laid back comfortable atmosphere it is a more relaxing kind of place take time to smell the flowers then stop and feed the ducks. 

Take a stroll around the park, sit on the bench and enjoy! There are also plenty of fun games that start at $2.00 a play and range from 10 rings to 3 balls for $2.00 not a bad deal at all.  My family had a blast trying to win an enormous stuffed bear (in reality if we really did win this, it would not fit in our car! It was that big) we played a ring toss game, the one where you have to get the ring on top of a bottle… 

We came close a few times, no win for us but we sure did have fun trying to perfect our throws.  Take a photo with your favorite chocolate character, you will find them in all parts of the park, take a second to say hi and I am sure you will just smile. 

Soak up summertime with your family at The Boardwalk At Hersheypark, included in your one-price admission! The Boardwalk is a perfect place to cool down on a hot summer day. Come early and hand out at the water park, for a splashing good time. Take a side down the many water slides and if you are daring try the Coastline Plunge – Vortex or Hershey’s Tidal Force this is one of the tallest splash-down rides in the world. Guaranteed to get you soaked!

The kiddie rides at Hersheypark, are great for the little ones in your family toddlers to around 3^rd gradrs. The rides include the Dizzy Drums the Bizzy Bees, Mini Pirate Ship and so many more! Want to go on the ride as a family? The family rides, including Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge, The Skyview, The Music Express, the Wave Swinger and the Kissing Tower there over 40 family rides between Hersheypark and The Boardwalk.
