The Sweetest Ways to Celebrate Dad in Hershey, PA

We love you, dads!

Want something to do with dad this weekend, or looking for gift ideas? Look no further....there's plenty of sweet things happening in Hershey The Sweetest Place On Earth! Grab your dad, grandpa, brother, "best bro," anyone father-like in your life and choose from some of our ideas we've outlined below.

Spend the day at The Hotel Hershey

First, treat dad to The Falconry Experience at 11 a.m. Together you will experience free-flight demonstrations, a simulated hunt demonstration and you will have the opportunity for the majestic bird of prey to land on your hands! Make your reservation by calling 717-534-8860. Next, pop into the iconic Iberian Lounge. Order some bar snacks and let him peruse the new whiskey menu. Featuring more than 120 whiskies from around the world, dad is sure to find something to wet his whistle. 

Enjoy a Day at the Amusement Park with Dad

Is dad a coaster enthusiast? There is no better way to spend Father's Day with him than enjoying the thrills on 14 mild to wild coasters at Hersheypark amusement park. Plus, all guests (including dads) can save more than 30 percent off regular admission when buying tickets online through June 30 with the current “Everyone Pays Kids’ Price” offer.
