Many of us have eaten Hershey chocolates and enjoyed their great taste. Others have taken their love of chocolate to a new height, and have gone on rides in Hershey Park itself. Hershey built this fabulous Park and filled it with rides of all sorts for the entire family. You will find many different types of roller coasters, carousels, and several other rides.

The Park is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on 110 acres of beautiful grounds. There are roughly 60 types of rides located in the Park. When you visit, you have the chance of also entering Zooamerica free of charge. Besides Hershey Park and Zooamerica, you can go to Hershey's Chocolate World.

This visitor's center has restaurants, gift shops, and a special ride that is completely chocolate-based. In addition to these attractions, you can do numerous other things while you are in Hershey Park. There are 10 different types of roller coasters. You can ride on the Sidewinder, the Wildcat, and Vekoma - among others.

There is a 65-foot spinning pendulum ride called the Claw. This is one of those rides designed to bring your blood rushing to your head as you swing from side to side. There are Ferris wheels and a Dip ride. The Park added these to their list of impressive rides in 1997.

Like many other theme and amusement parks, Hershey has various classical favorites like water rides and kids' rides. There is also a one-price admission that lets you ride all of the rides in the park without having to worry about paying an admission fee for the ride of your choice. By the way, did you know that the Park is planning to increase their water rides up to about 10?

You may think that this Park was open to the public from the very beginning of its history. This is not true. Hershey originally created the Park so that their employees could enjoy themselves there on their days off. It was only later that they opened the Park to the public.

While there are many things about this enchanting Park that are similar to other theme and amusement parks, you can also visit a zoo and experience a chocolate-based ride in a world where chocolate is the main theme. With all of these attractions, you may decide to keep going back year after year.
