Hersheypark, situated next to the Hershey’s Chocolate Factory, began its life in 1906, when the Hershey family opened a leisure park for its employees. It is now a popular theme park with over 70 attractions and rides, including several wooden and metal rollercoasters, an observation tower, a water park, and a zoo.

The park has an amphitheater where entertainment acts perform, and restaurants that include options for people with kosher and gluten-free diets. Hersheypark is also located next to Hershey’s Chocolate World, a visitors center for the Hershey Chocolate Factory; this free attraction has a tour ride showing how chocolate is made as well as free samples and an excellent gift shop.
