Fun for all and chocolate too
Hershey Lodge and Hershey Park were perfect for our family vacation over the 4th of July. As a single parent, I traveled with my two teenage sons and had no qualms or fears from the moment we landed in Harrisburg. The Hershey Lodge shuttle picked us up and the driver gave us a great narrative on the way to the resort. The amusement park was great as well as the water park, but my boys also enjoyed shooting hoops and playing miniature golf on the property. We all enjoyed Chocolate World and the trolleys….Hershey, PA …..the sweetest place on earth.
Tips for Families
Enjoy the fireworks from the grounds of the resort!

family getaway
Hershey is a great place to getaway with the family. Hershey has a lot to offer and there is plenty to do and see. We stayed at the Hershey Lodge and it was beautiful. The hotel staff was very friendly and they give each member of your party a hershey bar…yum. The room we stayed in was clean and beautiful. The hotel offers different restaurants that will cater to a variety of tastes from breakfast to dinner. They have a convenient hotel shuttle that will transport you to the different areas of Hershey park. The whole experience was wonderful and we can’t wait to do it again.
Tips for Families
Ideal to stay a couple of days…..there is lots to see and do.

Very Very Kid Friendly
Hershey Lodge is a large complex with lots of kid friendly activities: pool, putt-putt, basketball and tennis courts. The scent of chocolate permeates the place, and each guest receives a Hershey chocolate bar at check-in. The Hershey Park shuttle that picks up and drops off at the hotel.
Tips for Families
Use the concierge to buy tickets for attractions. This is one stop shopping and is extremely convenient.

My stay at Hershey Lodge
My parents and my family stayed at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, PA. This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The service was great and friendly, the place is immaculate. We stayed at the hotel, and we visited Hershey Park via the Hershey transportation buses. Evey where you go, Hershey gives out Hershey chocolate. Of course my baby loved the candy, and the Hershey characters, they made a daily visit to the hotel.
Tips for Families
Bring swimming suits because they have an indoor pool. If you visit the hotel and/or the Hershey Park, you better love chocolate. For mothers, try to get a babysitter so you can get a chocolate bath which is provided at the hotels.

One SWEET place to stay!
I think this is a wonderful hotel for families! We decided to spend the weekend here for my kids spring break, and very glad we did! When you arrive you are greeted by friendly staff we aim to please. You even receive a hershey bar as a welcome gift, sweet right?! The rooms are very nice and cozy. Depending on which package you buy (we had the FAMILY FUN PACKAGE) you receive tickets to all kinds of great attractions all right around corner. They have great places to eat inside as well so you don’t have to leave unless you want to. There’s an indoor and outdoor pool, the indoor was great for this time of year. So many other great ammenties, but I sugguest you come see for yourself. The thumbs way up from our family!
Tips for Families
If visting the Hershey Park purchase your tickets from the lodge for the best rates. Take advantage of the shuttle to get certain attractions.
