Family Fun

Goodbye mittens, hello sunshine!

Winter's white gives way to lush greens and pops of color that create a beautiful backdrop to your spring family getaway! From butterflies to blooms and from ball parks to amusement parks, spring in Hershey and Harrisburg comes alive for outdoor and interactive family together time. Meet some sweet characters, explore new paths, and create lasting memories. It’s a new season of family fun.

Did you know there’s a safari adventure not far from Harrisburg? You can see exotic animals, feed the giraffes, and take an open-air safari ride at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. A day on Harrisburg’s City Island can be filled with minor league baseball action, a friendly round of mini golf, or a walking or biking to take in the sights around the island loop with the city skyline just across the river.

When it rains, we explore indoors! Find family-friendly rainy day activities including museums, shopping, games, and more. If you are traveling on a budget, you’re covered with a variety of options to keep your crew entertained without breaking the bank. Play mini golf, float on bumper boats, and tour historic locations.

Warmer weather means spending time together outdoors. Find the best places to hike whether you’re looking for a relaxing walk or a more challenging climb. Plus, camping in the Hershey Harrisburg Region puts you in the unofficial (but let’s be honest…it’s “official”) s’mores capital of the world. Happy roasting!
