Amusement parks

We were looking at Dutch Wonderland (which we have been too), but then thought about Hershey Park. I have a 3 and 6 year old. Would there be much for their age at Hershey? We have never been.

We took our two to Hershey Park when they were exactly that age and it was perfect! Very enjoyable vacation!

Hershey is great! We went last thursday and lines were 5-15 minutes depending on the ride. There is a water park there too which you could spend all day there if you wanted to. The rides go by height --check out their website. They have a ton to do and the crowds are very family oriented. Be sure to go into Chocolate World -- they have a free ride in there -- really cute for little kids and of course don't forget the chocolate!

You can smell chocolate as soon as you roll into town
It's been a while but I remember loving it at age 5 and age 9.

Just got back from Hershey Park. We love it there - very clean park - there are some hills so be warned. Lots of rides that your kids would like - I have an 11, 3 & 2 y/o so there is something for everyone.

I believe the 3-D movie mentioned here is at Chocolate World - they also have a free factory tour ride (not through the actual factory but it's fun just the same and everyone gets candy at the end of the ride).

If you are planning to stay overnight you can gain entry at 7:30 the night before with your next day's park ticket - hubby and oldest DS were able to do all but 3 coasters - including the 2 major ones. The next morning since we were staying at the campground we got into the park and hour early (sweet access is what it's call for all Hershey resort guests) and were able to ride the coasters in the front of the park 3 times each plus 3 other rides before making our way over to the rope nearest the boardwalk before the park opened to the general public.

We try to get to Hershey Park every summer... My kids are 5 and 4 year old twins and they love it. There is plenty for them to do and they have a really nice water park for the smaller ones also.

Love Hershey Park! Alot for the younger kids! Plus there were quite a few rides where you could ride with the kids!
