"Season pass actually felt worth it"
We got season passes this year, i feel like it paid for itself way faster than I expected. With parking included and being able to go a few times just for shorter visits, it made the whole thing feel so much less stressful than trying to cram everything into one long day, you know?
I really like being able to stop in for a couple rides, grab food, or just walk around without feeling like we have to “get our money’s worth” every single time. If you live close enough to go more than once, I feel like the pass is a solid deal, right?

"Such a fun day for the kids"
My kids had an absolute blast here. They loved the smaller rides and all the water activities, and we ended up staying the whole day because they didn’t want to leave. A couple things could’ve been a little better, but nothing that ruined the day at all. Overall, it was a really fun place for families.

"Good food, but a little pricey"
They have a lot of options to choose from, and the food was good overall. I enjoyed it, but it felt a bit expensive for what you get.

"I had such a fun time..."
I had such a fun time, and the coasters were incredible. The lines did get long, which was a little frustrating, but Skyrush was absolutely worth the wait. That ride was intense in the best way and totally made my day.

"We had such a good day at Hersheypark..."
We had such a good day at Hersheypark. I had seen other people mention how nice the staff was, they were right. Every staff member we talked to was friendly and helped us figure out where to go for rides and food without making us feel rushed. It made the whole day feel a lot less stressful.

"Pretty good shady spots"
There were lots of benches around, and, uh, the shade was decent overall. A few spots still got a little hot, but we were able to find places to sit and rest when we needed to.

"Helpful updates that made planning easier"
I checked the app before we headed out, and from my experience that day, it was accurate about what was actually open. A couple of rides were down for a little while, but they showed back up later, and the wait times seemed to move along normally.

What I really appreciated was how easy it was to spot closures without having to wander over and find out the hard way. We just adjusted our plan, kept moving, and still got on most of the rides we wanted. It made the day feel a lot smoother.

"Pretty clean park, clean overall"
The park was clean, and the bathrooms were clean too. It did get busy, busy at times, but overall it was a nice place to visit.

"Felt safe the whole day"
I had a really good day here. The rides ran smoothly, and I liked that the staff actually took a second to check the belts properly instead of just rushing everyone through. I noticed little things like the clicks on the restraints and how they double-checked a couple of kids’ straps, which made me feel a lot better. Even the lines moved quicker than I expected, so the day felt easy and not stressful.

"I had a good time overall. There..."
I had a good time overall. There was a nice mix of rides, and a few of them were genuinely really fun. Some felt a little rough, though, maybe because they’re older or just haven’t been maintained as well, but that’s just my guess. Still, it was a fun experience and worth the visit.

"A good family day if you buy tickets ahead"
We had a really nice time and ended up spending pretty much the whole day there, so it felt worth it overall. The tickets can be a little steep if you buy them at the gate, but getting them online ahead of time made a big difference. Food was still on the pricey side, though I guess that’s kind of expected at places like this. All in all, it was a good value for a family day out.

"A really nice zoo break with the kids"
We stopped by the zoo area during our Hersheypark day and, honestly... we ended up liking it more than I expected. It was clean, easy to get around, and the animals all seemed well cared for.
My kids were especially into the otters and the bear. The staff were friendly when we had questions, too. It was a nice little break from the rides and crowds, and I’d definitely go again.

"Lines moved better than I thought they would"
We went to hersheypark on a busy weekend, and I was expecting the lines to be terrible. Maybe I just caught it on a good day, I don’t know, but the wait times really weren’t bad at all. A few of the bigger rides definitely had lines, but they kept moving steadily, and the app times seemed close enough from what I could tell. The staff did a good job keeping things organized, and the crowds didn’t feel as chaotic as I thought they might. We ended up getting on more rides than we expected, so overall it was a really good day...

I thought the food prices were fair overall. Nothing felt too overpriced, so I was happy with what I paid.

"A really nice day at the water park"
We ended up spending most of the day at the water park area of hersheypark, which kind of says enough. The lines moved better than I expected, and the kids were happy going back and forth between the wave pool and the slides. The place seemed well kept, and the staff was helpful the couple times we had questions. It was just an easy, fun day, and I wouldn’t mind doing it again.

"Super fun park with sweet vibes"
Hersheypark was a blast. The whole candy theme is super cute without feeling too cheesy, and it gives the place a fun, chocolatey vibe. It did get kinda packed in some spots, which was a little annoying, but overall the atmosphere was awesome and I’d definitely go back

Parking was straightforward and close enough to make things easy, which was a nice little win. The price felt a bit high, but getting in and out was smooth, so overall I was happy with it
