The Sweetest Place on Earth
Hersheypark combines the rich heritage of America's chocolate capital with world-class thrill rides and family entertainment. Founded in 1907 by chocolate magnate Milton S. Hershey as a leisure park for his employees, this 121-acre destination has evolved into one of America's premier amusement parks while maintaining its sweet chocolate theming throughout.
🍫 Chocolate Heritage
Built by Milton Hershey for his chocolate factory workers, Hersheypark began as a picnic ground and gradually added attractions. The park's chocolate connection remains strong today, with Hershey's Chocolate World adjacent to the park offering factory tours, chocolate tastings, and sweet experiences.
