5 Reasons to Make Hershey, PA Your Summer Travel Destination

Fun for All Ages

What I love most about Hershey is that there is something for everyone. Whether you are 8, 38 or 80, Hershey offers an adventure you will enjoy. At Hersheypark, there are rides for all ages and entertainment the entire family can experience together (even grandparents). At ZooAmerica (which is included with admission to Hersheypark), guests can take a relaxing stroll while learning about and seeing animals from all over North America. Don’t forget Chocolate World too that offers chocolate tastings, a 4-D show, a FREE factory tour ride and more. You can also enjoy The Hershey Story Museum, Hershey Theatre, Hershey Gardens, spas and more to during your trip!

Beat the Heat

Hersheypark is the perfect place to beat the heat this summer. The Boardwalk offers endless opportunities to cool off, and it is included with your ticket to the park. Kids will love exploring the East Coast Waterworks while parents will enjoy floating around the Intercoastal Waterway. There are even spaces dedicated to little ones like Sandcastle Cove and Shoreline Sprayground.

If you’re a thrill seeker, then make sure you check out the 2 new water slides! Breakers Edge Water Coaster is the first hydroMAGNETIC coaster with flying saucer turns that will offer a thrilling experience for the entire family. Rafts fit 4 riders making it a perfect experience for family and friends.

Whitecap Racer is the longest mat racing slide in the world. Riders will race through turns and tunnels and choose between 6 colorful racing lanes. Guests can register before riding and keep track of their race time throughout the day. Riders can also have a picture with stats emailed to them as memorabilia!

Prevent the Summer Slide

Each summer kids will often regress academically due to a lack of exposure to educational experiences but there are many ways parents can prevent what’s often referred to as the “summer slide.” At Hershey, kids can participate in fun brain boosting activities that help stimulate academic and cognitive development. Here are just some of the educational experiences your kids will LOVE:

• Chocolate Lab class
