Poll of the Day > I'm going to Hershy park at the end of the month

(+) Yeah! (+)

Merry May <3

Can anyone please refresh me what you actually do at that place? I went there some years ago on a family trip but I only remember buying as much candy I can hold :<

I've been there twice, but the last time was six years ago so things may have changed. But IIRC...

-There's an amusement park
-Plenty of exhibits about the history of Hershey and Pennsylvania in general
-I believe there's tours of a chocolate factory, or it could just be a run-down of how Hershey's products are made. I remember there being a lovely chocolate smell during the tour.
-A 3D-animated show featuring the voice of Danny DeVito.
-Lots of gift shops where you can buy souvenirs and Hershey products

Our second vacation to the park wasn't as good as our first, but it's still a wonderful place to go for a vacation. I believe my family also stayed in a cabin in the mountains, which was cool.

ooh yeah I remember that now, they had like this sign tracking how much candy they're currently selling and I remember reese's number being through the roof cuz they were the best

Has a few decent roller coasters and a nice water park. Lines for the good rides can be atrocious. Not the best place to go of you're on a diet as they basically throw candy at you if you take the factory tour.

They do have some traffic flow and crowd control problems. You can tell they started as a small park and some parts just can't handle the crowds the attract now.

I remember a river raft ride where you go through waterfalls. but I haven't been there since like 1991

I think I vaguely remember something like that, is that the thing that tours you around the park super high?

I haven't been in years, do they still sell those chocolate bars that are like 5 times the size or a regular chocolate bar, or were those a victim of the obesity epidemic?

Don't get the Hershey squirts!

I head to Hershey park every couple of months when the mood strikes.

Also, don't forget to take the Hershey highway!

They still sell the huge candy bars, along with other giant sized things of candy like a 5lb thing of Rolos.
