I wrote earlier this year about 5 Reasons You Should Visit Hershey this Summer 2018. It felt somewhat far off when I wrote about it and now Hersheypark is set to open for the summer season on April 27th, which is THIS WEEKEND! My kids are totally excited, so I wanted to share some of the best things going on this summer and some, right now.

I would LOVE to visit Hershey Park because we are SUCH kids at heart and very playful and love to feel like kids again all day long at a place where everyone gets to feel like a kid for the day.
