Plan Your Trip Around These Hershey Park Events

 

What Is Hershey Park?

If you’re familiar with Hershey’s chocolate, then you already know half of the story of Hershey Park. It was originally created by Milton S. Hershey as leisure grounds for his employees at the chocolate factory. The facility includes a theme park with many rides, plus a zoo, water park, and an auditorium that hosts concerts and events all year round.

Events and Concerts

Experience Hershey's wide variety of events at Hersheypark Stadium, one the most prominent outdoor stadiums in Pennsylvania. The space welcomes renowned national and international artists, including Luke Bryan, Blink 182, Lil Wayne, Backstreet Boys, Kiss, the Jonas Brothers, Hootie & the Blowfish, Zac Brown Band, and more!

Make a Trip Out It and Visit Lancaster County!

Hershey Park is 45 minutes away from the Historic Smithton Inn, which means you can take a trip through the countryside and explore PA Dutch Country! Start with a journey back in time at Ephrata’s cloister or a visit to the Landis Valley Museum. Then, go on a scenic road trip through the Amish Country which leads you to Hershey. Of course, no visit to the park would be complete without a tour of the chocolate factory. Attend a free tour to learn about the process of transforming cocoa beans into chocolate. You can even create your own candy bar and enjoy a delicious chocolate tasting experience!

Have a Relaxing Stay at the Historic Smithton Inn

The Historic Smithton Inn is the perfect place to relax after a long day in Pennsylvania’s countryside. Have a relaxing stay in the quaint town of Ephrata and unwind in our charming accommodations!

We have a feeling you’ll love our signature quiche, fluffy cinnamon French toast, pancakes, and frittatas!
