I have fond memories of going to Hershey Park as a kid and as a teenager. I was excited to show the kiddos the sites. We started with factory tour. It is one of my favorite parts of the park. I still love seeing how the chocolates are made and smelling the warm cocoa, not to mention the free candy bar at the end!
The amusement park is huge! We were there all day and did not get to see all of it.
The weather in the morning was perfect, breezy and not too hot. Baby L spent the first part of our visit relaxing.
We did the Carousel first and brother S was pretty scared. It was a good gauge for the type of rides to let them go on.
I didn't know the carrousel was an antique. I remember riding it when I was a kid.
They have rides for all ages and we were busy going from one to the next. Luckily the lines for little kid rides were pretty short.
The kiddos met some candy men, but they were afraid to get too close.
By afternoon it was pretty hot outside and we changed into our swim gear for the water park area. I don't remember much of the waterpark from my previous visits. It was amazing. Huge. They had a wave pool, giant splash pad, this crazy water slide play area called Water Works:
Baby L was not too sure about the water temperature:
They also had this huge "beach" area with a life size sand castle for the kids to splash through:
The only ride that we all went on together was the Ferris Wheel. Most rides are not good for babes in arms, so one of us always had to sit out.
Big sister A rode on her first roller coaster with daddy. He said that he looked over at her after the first hill and her face was white with a look of pure terror. But then at the end she said "I want to go again!"
By 6pm we were all super exhausted. We had dinner at the factory deli, bought some souvenirs, and enjoyed looking at the huge chocolate bars ("Biggest in the World") that they were selling. We stayed at a hotel near the park that night. Everybody was asleep as soon as they hit the bed (or before that).
