Presidents' Day weekend: things to do in Hershey, PA
Looking for something to do on this long weekend? Look no further....there's plenty of sweet things happening even during winter in Hershey The Sweetest Place On Earth! Grab your loved ones and choose from some of our ideas we've outlined below.
Visit ZooAmerica - discounted on Fridays!
Did you know winter is one of the best times to visit ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park? Open year-round, the animals on exhibit outdoors are much more active and easier to see this time of year. Every Friday in February, enjoy discounted admission of $6.25 for Fantastic Fridays. And on Saturdays in February, mammal residents of the Zoo will receive chocolate-themed treats! This weekend, the Mountain Lions are featured.
Date night at Hershey Theatre
If you’re looking for a unique date night, the Off-Broadway hit comedy "Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE!" comes to Hershey Theatre on Feb. 16. This one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up is based on the New York Times best-selling book.

Learn about our founder
The Hershey Story Museum honors and preserves the life and legacy of Milton S. Hershey, the town he created and the lives he touched. Museum exhibits explore Mr. Hershey's early failures, how he successfully revolutionized the process of making milk chocolate, the "other" model town he built in Cuba and how he and his wife, Kitty, created Milton Hershey School.
