When you're a kid, the best part about summer is NO SCHOOL! With our interactive museums, fascinating history, and creative ways of blending education and fun, parents can get their little students back in a learning mindset, even if it's just for the day. Check out this semester’s schedule!

What does summer taste like? For you, maybe it’s a frozen drink on a hot afternoon. Or it’s a fresh fruit infused mixed drink in the shade. The Hershey Harrisburg Region can quench anyone’s thirst, from award-winning margaritas and famous bloody mary’s to signature chocolate martinis and one-of-a-kind flavor infusions.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, The Sweetest Place on Earth ® is also the  Coolest  Place on Earth. On a hot summer day, the 11-acre full water park at Hersheypark ®  is a watery oasis where you can chill out after working up a sweat rolling from coaster to coaster.

There’s nothing like a thirst-quenching beverage after a long day of sightseeing. But we’re not talking about lemonade. The Hershey Harrisburg Region is home to more than 25 vineyards, breweries, and distilleries that specialize in ice cold, locally made refreshments. 

Each year, millions of families follow the scent of chocolate to Hershey The Sweetest Place on Earth ® to visit our biggest attractions: Hersheypark ® and Hershey's Chocolate World Attraction. In and around the town of Hershey, there’s even more to explore. So delay the ride home for a few hours and stop over at one of these sweet places! Natural

  They say you never forget your first car. Whether it was new or just new to you, wheels shiny or scuffed, it was your ride. And our love affair with the automobile doesn’t stop at the ones we own. We all have that “dream car.” The one that makes your head turn. The one that reminds you of Grandpa. The one that you’d fix up if you could. The Hershey Harrisburg Region plays host to car-lover events year-round, and one of these cars would make an excellent souvenir!
