It’s been a long winter. A really long winter capped off by two (maybe three coming soon!) Nor’Easters. My kids had off from school, stuck inside for 5 days. Needless to say, we are super excited for the upcoming Spring and Summer season at Hershey! I am thrilled to be included in Hershey Sweetest Moms 2018 because it really is one of our family’s favorite places to visit. It’s close to home and perfect for all ages. We always have an amazing time when we go.
Tip: If you’re looking to get away this Spring, you can! Hersheypark – Springtime in the Park will run from March 30-April 1, April 7-8 and April 14-15. We are planning to visit April 14-15 and I can’t wait to share our trip recap with you!
We’ll also return during the summer season, which starts April 27th, for a little bit longer of a trip and you should, too! (PSST…We’ll be having an amazing giveaway to come for tickets to Hersheypark this summer!)
Below are 5 Reasons to Visit Hershey this Summer:
Amazing Attractions & New Rides
Hersheypark amusement park boasts more than 70 rides in this 111th season. This summer, there are two, new family-thrill attractions in The Boardwalk At Hersheypark water park – Breakers Edge Water Coaster and Whitecap Racer. Breakers Edge Water Coaster will be the world’s first HydroMAGNETIC water coaster with thrilling flying saucer turns and the 14th coaster at Hersheypark. Whitecap Racer will be the world’s longest mat racing slide with a high-tech leaderboard making it the race of the summer. The new attractions will be located between Shoreline Sprayground attraction and Intercoastal Waterway lazy river and slated to debut Memorial Day weekend.

Not Just for the Kids!
While so much is geared for the kids, parents will love Hershey, too! Hershey, PA, offers so many things to see and do with more than a dozen unique dining venues that include everything from casual coffee shops to late-night cocktails, family-friendly dining to four-star cuisine and everything in between. MeltSpa by Hershey day spa is also a great stop for girlfriends and more to enjoy in exclusive Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Treatments. You know I’ll be visiting MeltSpa on my next visit to Hershey, so I’ll be sure to feature more about this and all the great dining options.
I also LOVE the Chocolate Spa at the Hotel Hershey. It is always an amazing experience when I am there.
As I mentioned, stay tuned for more to come on Hershey. I’ll be sharing our experience at Hershey this spring, summer and offering a great giveaway for my readers!
