Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, traces its history back to 1906, when Milton S. Hershey created a leisure park for the employees of his chocolate company. What began as a place to relax and spend time with family gradually developed into one of America’s best-known amusement parks, while its connection to Hershey’s chocolate heritage remains an important part of the park today.

Hersheypark is particularly known for its extensive roller coaster collection. Candymonium, Skyrush, Storm Runner and the hybrid coaster Wildcat’s Revenge represent the modern side of the lineup, while classics such as Comet reflect the park’s long history. Beyond the coasters, visitors will find a broad selection of family rides, traditional amusement park attractions and The Boardwalk water park, which is included with park admission.

Together with Hershey’s Chocolate World and the other attractions around town, Hersheypark sits at the center of a destination where chocolate is never far away. Its combination of history, modern roller coasters and unmistakable Hershey character gives the park an identity all its own.
