What travelers are saying
- Slee W5 contributionsWe had a pleasant time with substantial walking involved. It's advisable to arrive early for the rides, as queues tend to reach an hour's wait shortly after opening. An instance of this was experiencing a two-hour line for the Laff Track ride, complete with multiple deceptive turns that made the queue seem endless. Nevertheless, it was my grandson's birthday, so we persevered and engaged in conversations with other friendly guests. We found the pizza at 8 Cut Crust to be quite satisfying. The park conveniently has refill and water stations—remember to bring an empty bottle if you opt out of the unlimited refills. For us, a one-time meal purchase was cost-effective compared to the generally pricey dining options at the lodge. If it's within your budget, consider purchasing the Fast Track pass as it can be disheartening to see others board the rides swiftly while you've been waiting for an extended period. In hindsight, our stay of two days seemed too short—I'm looking forward to returning.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- corkyc988New Jersey121 contributionsAlthough we visit the Hershey area every few years, this was the first time we went to the Hershey Museum and we are glad that we did! The exhibits do an excellent job with sharing Milton Hershey's life and legacy. If you are interested in a more in depth story about the history of Hershey, we recommend you spend some time at the museum. We didn't partake of the extras, we were more interested in just the museum itself.Written January 23, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tppennNorristown, PA216 contributionsI have been to the garden both times I recently visited Hershey and I will keep going back. The garden is not large so it is easy see in a short time but it is lovely. There is also an indoor butterfly room.Written November 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GLENN S15 contributionsAwesome collection of unusual cars! I am a classic car guy, having driven several over the years. I was very impressed with the collection. Volunteers were available to fill in the blanks on the cars on display. Three floors of vehicles and miscellany. Just a great, great museum.Written November 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KatiLuHershey, PA130 contributionsThe beer is good, the food is great! My husband is a beer connoisseur, and I am growing into it. Troeg’s has several beers that I like, particularly the mad elf and grand cru. But the real reason we go here once a month or more is because of the food. The menu is always changing and the food is always excellent and adventurous. They cute and smoke their own meats, the salad varieties are great, and the popcorn is beyond!!

Most are excellent and we’ve learned over the years that when there are issues with the tech or cast, it’s the production and touring company and not the theatre’s fault. Recently saw Hamilton which was great. Ample parking. I wish they had a more efficient ticketing process, quicker lines for bathrooms and drinks but part of that is the charm of a 100 year old buildingWritten December 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- psudinoWeehawken, NJ4,496 contributionsWhen the kids (or you!) are getting tired of the rides and attractions of Hershey Park this is a great place to visit for a change of scenery and pace. The animal exhibits are expertly maintained and it is very easy to get around. All you need is about 2 hours to see the entire zoo.
I highly recommend getting the zoo add-on tickets if you're visiting Hershey Park with your kids!Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everything is pristine and well cared for. What a beautiful opportunity for those students who qualify to attend this school. I was impressed.Written July 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Heather B21 contributionsLots of booths with a variety of antiques. It was well lit and most booths are organized. I will visit again on my next trip to Hershey.Written September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Escape425947787581 contributionCirque du soleil was amazing. It was my first time to see them. The Giant Center, however, was a money pit, overcharging for everything from water to french fries. I have to say that the real shocker was the parking fee.
After paying about 78$ for tickets to the show, we were slammed with a $20 parking fee! Unbelievable! To top things off, the parking attendant was rude and when I questioned the exorbitant cost of parking, she rudely said, how about if I just let everyone else go around you. Very unprofessional.Written January 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plenty of stores to fill the morning, afternoon or all day. Old Navy has a new patriotic T-Shirt design every year that was only $5 at this store on Memorial Day weekend.Written June 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cfpsu1Harrisburg, PA325 contributionsThis was our first show at the Hershey Area Playhouse (Legally Blonde) and we were very impressed!
Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and given an overview of the layout of the theatre. The ground floor has the concessions, ticket booth and restrooms. The second floor has the theatre area. The theatre is very clean and modern.
The theatre is nicely laid out with seats on 3 sides of the "stage" area, which enables the performers to utilize the whole floor area to the seats. The seating space is great! Spacious, with nice leg room and staggered with the seat in front of you, which is very nice and provides an unblocked view.
The performers did a great job and provided the audience with a fun, energetic atmosphere, which even surpassed a few of the shows we've seen at the Hershey Theatre. The sound, pit band and lighting were spot on for the show.
We will definitely be returning for additional shows in the future!Written October 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
