Celebrating Halloween in "The Sweetest Place on Earth", can you imagine anything better? Milton Hershey began his chocolate empire here, but accomplished a whole lot more than make great chocolate - but we will discuss his most important work on another entry.....In addition to his chocolate factory (which actually smells like heavenly chocolate as you drive by) there is a huge amusement park here with 8 roller coasters, 4 of them the old wooden style. (Janie and Karen you would love this park!!!)
During the summer there is a huge water park here as well. We spent about 6 hours at the park on Friday night, and did not get to every section! There is an 11 acre zoo inside the
park, with over 200 animals!We are staying at a campground that is part of the whole Hershey adventure and it had a shuttle running to the park from our campground which made life easier! This campground has over 200 sites, and was full for this weekend! There were tons of kids, we figured we had about 200 come to our trailer. They went trick or treating in the afternoon, which made it really neat to be able to see everyone. The leaves were falling, and it was quite warm - a lovely way to spend our fourth and final Halloween this year!!
Notice the Hershey kisses lamp posts?
Wow! That is a lot of kids. I had 57 and that was enough!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you did all the roller coasters!!
Those are the coolest lamp posts....
