16 Reasons Why Hersheypark Is Forever My Favorite Place

Molly Cohen

I cannot remember how old I exactly was when I first went to Hersheypark, but I believe I was around 10. Right when I got there, I fell in love. I went with fellow campers of mine. After that, I would go back mostly every year and each year just got better and better. I even go back twice in a year! Here are 16 things that I love about Hersheypark.

1. The Staff

The staff has always been so friendly making the experience so enjoyable.

2. The Staff Dressed In Costumes!

I always enjoy running into these guys! They are awesome.

3. Hershey Christmas

A blurry picture of my friend Nicole and I but going to Hershey during Christmas time is magical. The lights, the yummy cookie smores, the sweet smell of hot cocoa - it is amazing!

4. The Rides!

Hershey has some of the best rollercoasters! My favorites include The Stormrunner (above), Fahrenheit, Wildcat, and Greatbear!

5. The Ferris Wheel and The Monorail!

I know these are rides but they give you a great view of the park! I also recommend the kissing tower if you want an awesome view and just some romantic time!

6. The Chocolate, DUHH!

Hershey Park sells some of the most AMAZING brands of chocolate. It is simply delicious.

7. Chocolate World!

You simply cannot go to Hersheypark without visiting Chocolate World and getting a tour ride! And they give you free candy at the end!

8. Their Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Hands down, the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had can be bought in Chocolate World!

9. Hershey Town!

Simply a friendly and warm welcoming town to explore!

10. The Boardwalk!

Go have a splash!

11. ZooAmerica!

Located inside Hershey Park, go take a peak at some amazing animals!

12. World's Largest Chocolate Bar!

FIVE POUNDS!

13. The Great Disability Accommodations

Being that I have a physical disability, Hershey has always made my visit 100x easier with the accommodations they make, which I am grateful for.

14. Measuring Yourself, Candy Style!

I always know my height, but it is just natural to see which "Candy" you are!

15. The Hersheypark Welcome sign!

You always need to take a picture with the welcome sign! It is a must!

16. It Is Just Awesome

My family and I enjoy it every year. This is us during Christmas Time in 2016! Thank you Hershey for always being so SWEET! Who knows, maybe I'll work here someday!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun.
