Fun Friday...The holidays at Hershey Park!

Hershey Park... the home of great rides, a water park and of course chocolate world has some wonderful festivities around the holidays. We live just over an hour from Hershey, so we have taken full advantage of this over the years. When my kids were younger, we went for an overnight trip once at Christmas time and stayed at the beautiful Hershey Hotel. We also spent another holiday at the Woodside cottages which are part of the Hershey Hotel and a really cool place to stay. I will show some photos below. The hotel is beautifully decorated and they typically have events with Santa for the young kids. There are some rides open in park, so while it may be a little chilly, visiting the park at night can be a lot of fun with all the decorations and lights. There are plenty of spots open for snacks and hot chocolate to help keep you warm if you venture out at night.

If you prefer to stay in the comfort of your warm car at night instead, then I highly recommend a drive through "Sweet Lights". This is an amazing light display set to music which is roughly a 30 minute experience not counting any wait time to get started. 

The accommodations are wonderful if you choose to make it an overnight or weekend trip. The options include the Hershey Hotel, Woodside Cottages and the Hershey Lodge. There are several restaurants and an amazing spa as well.

Experiences are certainly a little different this year, but it is still an option to enjoy some of the holiday fun at Hershey if you are in the area. My daughters have had season passes to Hershey the past couple of years and enjoy going with their friends over the summer. The passes give them some special perks and access to the holiday events as well. They have both gone to the Sweet Lights drive through this year and said it was amazing. Hopefully we can get back to being able to enjoy all kinds of experiences next holiday season. My girls had a great time there last year as you see below on what looks like a nice warm winter day sporting their Hershey pajamas!! If you have never done Hershey Park at Christmas... give it a try. It will not disappoint!🎄
