Hersheypark

Overall great experience for arriving a couple hours after opening on a very hot day. We purchased all tickets right at the main gate, we did not pre order. We only visited the Boardwalk due to the extreme temps. Check in was good except no clear indication or communication on what our purchases meant. For example, we purchased all day dining passes but were never told where/how often we could use them. Long walk from main gate to boardwalk if that’s where you’re headed. Difficult for handicap or elderly. We had our own mobility scooter for our handicap user but my mom had a difficult time making the walk and needed to rest. If needing to rent scooters/strollers do so right at main gate. We were able to find chairs relatively quick/easy. However, our biggest and only complaint were the very low beach chairs which were difficult for our elderly and handicap people to use. All day dining passes and refillable cups definitely worth it. Small waits for lazy river but well worth it as they do implement rules and allow for it to be a true lazy river. All must have/use a tube and no jumping/swimming, flipping. Locker set up was cool and very easy to use. Our seats, pop refill station, food, and lockers were all within 100ft of each-other so we had a great set up for the day.

One of the coolest theme parks in the country, they have quite a few rollercoasters that are worth your time and a ton of non coaster rides as well if that isn’t something you’re into. Even if you don’t go into the park proper, Hershey’s Chocolate World is a great place to stock up on candy and you can go on the Chocolate Tour ride for free, plus they give you free candy at the end! Also, Milton’s Ice Cream parlor has some of the best ice cream you’ll ever have and you do not even have to have a ticket for it. My one caveat is that the ride operations can be a little squirrels in terms of organizing people in line into proper places on the rides, plus the app wasn’t always accurate when it came to the wait times for each one. Even with these issues, this is still a great place to check out if you’re into theme parks at all!

Perfect place to go with kids during their summer break . Best thing is there is something for every age . We entered around 11:30 am in the park and came out when the park closed at around 10:30. I would definitely recommend to download the Hershey park app as it lists out waiting time for all the rides . Kids loved the water park . There are three /four sections so each kid get to enjoy! All the rides are super awesome and if you are a thrill seeker definitely try their Twizzler twisted gravity ride . Overall definitely recommend this place .

Everything was great! Although if you've never been there and don't dig enough into research, you find out the hard way the water park doesn't open until about July (security guard said). We we're just excited to go, so we went during less busy season. Prices are a bit high, but that's to be expected. Our kids had no complaints.

Wonderful time visiting. Very busy day with many middle and high school trips. They don't impact the little kid rides at least. Roller coasters were long waits. You can bring in your own drinks and snacks, security said nothing. Very expensive food inside as expected. $14 for a hamburger or chicken. Love that the ticket price includes the waterpark and zoo. Zoo has very few animals, not worth going in. So much to do overall. Love the characters walking around. A lot of walking and hilly. Parking is cheaper to buy online, $35 in person, $26 online. Go early. Chocolate world ride opens at 9. Then u can get a close spot for the park. 11am-8pm.

Great park!! Had an amazing time with lots to do. Kid rides were all over so you could entertain them while you go to larger rides. Parent swap was awesome and easy on all rides. We went opening day 2025 which was perfect and all was running like it had been middle of summer with trained staff. The rides are fun, the park is thought out and themed well, the park was clean and looked great! One suggestion- wheres the chocolate in your Hershey’s themed park? It’s all outside of the park… I get it - it might melt but no hot chocolate? No chocolate glazed ice cream or chocolate milk shake? No Hersey chocolate any themed food at all inside the park?? So odd!!

Beautiful park- you wouldn’t expect it to look to nice but it’s actually quite pleasant. There are nice walking paths, hills, trees, and water. The coasters are amazing! Food costs standard theme park prices, though. Overall, amazing

Had an amazing time at Hersheypark! The rides were so much fun, the park was clean and well-organized, and the staff was super friendly. I loved the mix of thrill rides and family attractions. Definitely worth the trip, I can’t wait to come back!
