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.
My daughter enjoying Hersheypark in the summer! Fun times are about to begin again with the park opening for the summer season, April 27th!

I have been to Hersehy acouple of times. The kids love the park while I loved learning the history behind Hershey
It has been many years since we were at Hershey Park. Hopefully the family can go this year. This would be for my nephew. Time for a refresher course in the history of chocolate. Alas, I have given up eating chocolate for some ten years.
Yes, we have been to Hershey Park, my sons love the water park area.
I’ve never been to Hershey, PA and one reason I want to go is because I love Hershey’s!

I have been to Hershey Park. Sometimes fun…but not so much when it gets too hot.

I have never been to Hershey! Im from Pittsburgh and have always heard so much about it, especially the factory tour. I’d love to go, and now that I have a nephew to spoil and enjoy, it would be even more fun to go with him!

I haven’t been to Hersheypark since I was a teenager. I would love to go back with my wife and kids to enjoy all of the rides and attractions
No, we have never been there but I have wanted to go for quite a few years. We live in Southeast MI and the only time I’ve been to PA at all was 9 yrs ago to surprise my sister who lives alone in Philadelphia for her 40th birthday in Jan when it was literally 14 below zero!
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. Riding rides.. LOVE water rides especially! And I crazy LOVE chocolate probably way too much and even smelling it is a treat.
I’ve never been to Hershey Park but have always wanted to go!
Thanks for a great giveaway. Happy Mother’s Day!
We have been to Hershey and we really love it. My daughter finally braved the big coasters last year and I did not think we would ever get her off of them. She really wants to go back this year for her birthday in July and ride them all again.
I went once as a kid and loved it – I’d really lie to bring my kids out there this summer!

We moved to PA about 5 years ago now…and we’ve been to Hershey Park once and had a ball! We went when they first opened LaffTrax coaster. And we also went out there for a concert a couple of years ago…that was fun, too. I’d love to take the family again!
