Great tour of my favorite park! A couple tidbits of food advice to share for people who peruse the comments: 1. Oola bowls are incredibly good. On a hot summer day when you want to eat something that won't make you feel terrible, fruit and sherbet with delicious toppings is a great bet, and the price is reasonable too. 2. The Chocolatier is great, highly recommend, but you absolutely need a reservation for a table. They're booked solid all summer. However, if you're traveling in a small group and don't mind sitting at a bar, the bar is first come first serve and you can still order from the same food menu. Never hurts to walk upstairs and see if there's a couple stools open. 3. The fast-fill stations all have filtered water taps that are free (no scan required). The water tastes better and is much colder than the fountains near the restrooms. 4. Alex is right about Spring Creek Smokehouse. Definitely give it a try. The meats are good but not the best I've had, but the sides are surprisingly excellent. Like, 8-9 out of 10.

I'm going to Hersheypark for the first time ever this coming Sunday. These types of videos are helping us prep!
So proud to have this as my home park

grew up here. Been to a bunch all over the East Coast-my parents were roller coaster junkies. Still think this is better than say, Busch Gardens. Kings Dominion was a close second. Liked all the coasters in all the Six Flags I was in. Bringing the 5th generation to this park now. Grandma gets her buggy and away we go!

I’ve always loved Hershey Park. Been going there since the 80’s. Thank God it’s close to Maryland.
Thank you for such an amazing tour of Hershey Park! I used to live there and my parents took my siblings and I and our friends a couple of times. It was so much fun! I remembered it being much more colorful for some reason and the characters who were dressed like different Hershey items were walking about. I was surprised I didn't see any walking around as guests were enjoying the park, but when I had visited it was in the 90's. I really appreciate your attention to detail and all of your additional information. I've lived in Florida since 1997 and have never been back, but this brought me right back. Thanks again! 😊❤

This place was my first job. I worked at Minetown Restaurant from like 2012-2014. Amazing place to work, especially as a first job. Had 3 siblings work there too and my dad was security so we got free tickets a lot and I spent most of my summers here as a kid/teen.
❤ thank you for this video I am planning on visiting this summer. So excited 🎉
Being from Pittsburgh, I always thought Kennywood was the bee knees (live in Dallas now and Six Flags is not as good). Hershey was NOT on the radar when I was growing up in the 80's, early 90's. But the next time i am home, WE ARE GOING. This place looks awesome! Great video!!!
Thank you for making this video! This place is my home, and sometimes I get homesick.
I grew up within 10 miles of here. I was taken to Hershey Park in the 1960's when it used the ticket system per ride. Because we lived close, we were there a lot. Plus, my parents loved the Comet. There was an actual zoo that you could walk along the sidewalk and see. (That had to go because of the '72 flood.) I remember several of these rides being a big deal. Sooper Dooper Looper...even had t-shirt saying I rode it. The Coal Cracker going in was a big deal, too. Kissing Tower was so cool when it debuted-it still is. All the newer coasters coming in. Watching the old water rides turning into Boardwalk was also a biggie. I could go on and on but I wanted to really say down by the Trailblazer where the Haunted House is used to be a petting zoo in the 70's. And there was a baby elephant that was so cute. His name was Albert. Just like my grandpa! (Who usually went there with us.)

We went to Hershey Park twice and had a tour of the Hershey factory. Both times were during the Christmas holiday season. Unfortunately never had the chance to get back there and go into the amusement park. I thought I read that Hershey Park closed(?) So glad that it didn't. Thanks for posting this video, it looks like an extremely good time!

I went on the sooper dooper looper when it first came out. It was a big deal and was heavily advertised. I got a t shirt that said I survived the sooper dooper looper. I thought I was so cool when I wore it to school after summer vacation 😂

No problem and the changes to the park this year is minimal. there was not enough of a reason for me to make an updated video this year.
Wow - both my parents are from Pensylvania & us kiddos always wanted to go. My parents took us one time to see the mixing of the chocolate but never went to the park. Not hardly anyone there! We went to Kings Island or Cedar Point in Ohio instead.
this is a awsome park i will go to there tomorrow
As a Hershey coaster operater, I think they need some more thrill flat rides or thrill flat rides that aren’t to scary like mixd, some good food and snack places r the mini donuts, pretzel house ( it’s by cup fusion, sky veiw, and funnel cake place) and chickie and Pete’s crab frys

Any else see the shoe come off at 26:52 lol😂
Surprised by the lack of theming. It’s just a Six Flags. So many of the rides are the same that come with traveling carnivals. I’d expected more themed dark rides, lamps that look like Hersheys kisses, teacups that look like Reese’s cups, etc. Does it at least smell like chocolate? Without entertainment or anything unique to set it apart from county fairs it doesn’t seem worth the trip. And I can’t believe milkshakes are almost $20! Great for roller coaster enthusiasts; not for families with kids, or me.
I’ve never been to Hershey park. I’ve only been to six flags great adventure are the parks similar or is one better than the other

Fun Fact: Hershey Park is 105.7 miles away from Pocono Raceway
I regretted on not going to Hersheypark in my middle school years with my orchestra class😢. The reason why I choose not to go to Hersheypark because i naively thought the park was going to filled with chocolate which makes you fat since i was on strict weight loss in ever since elementary school years. But i now i regretted on not go there. I don't know if it's okay for me to go to Hersheypark alone. My parents told me it's weird and wasteful on going to Hersheypark alone. I live in Northern Virginia and i can drive a car there, but my parents said no to me. I really wish i can go to Hersheypark myself since i regretfully decided not to go to Hersheypark with my orchestra class in my middle school years😞.
I've always wanted to go there, but how far is it from Frederick, MD to Hersheypark?

There's no way Pony Parade was built in 1979. The park didn't even go past Trailblazer in '79.

baby, there are rides you will not be allowed to get on because your body says it is 12. My grandson was the opposite. He was tiny and little and was grateful when he could get on older rides. There are a lot of rides that you barely leave the ground and you will fit and not be afraid. I was a chubby chic my whole life and understand the thought of people laughing at you. If you can learn to laugh with them when they laugh (yes it sometimes hurts) it does help. Shake your head and smile. When you are away from the crowd, get it out. Even in a bathroom.
