This was our second trip in about four years and we met up with some family to spend a pair of days doing all the coasters we could handle- In my case, it was all of them. Some of the kids had to work their courage up by doing easier ones first, but by the end of the trip, I think we conquered everything. I personally like the coasters on metal rails better- much easier on the neck and back, while the kids really loved the vintage wooden coasters. Between Candy-Moneum and The Great Bear the winning title for me goes to da Bear. About the hardest part of the park is the signage; you'll follow an arrow, get to an intersection and then have no clue what to do next. To add insult to injury, there's few if any park employees around aside from the ones working concessions or rides. A great bonus to the coasters is the water park inside the Hersheypark complex. Splash zones, and tubes and plenty of sun chairs are available for what could be a full day of fun for the kids. Lines for the more popular attractions are not uncommon but at least there's plenty of water around to cool off in. A food court of sorts is there as well with a decent assortment of decent food. Alcohol can be purchased at some of the trucks or concession trailer outposts throughout the entire park so now we know there is a god. Also included with a park admission, there is a zoo that is worth spending an hour or two. Between the park, the zoo and the water park, you'll probably leave because the kiddos are tired, not because they are bored. If you happen to stay at one of the Hershey owned hotels or lodges, you'll be able to forego the parking fees and take the free shuttle. Also, staying on site gets you into the park an hour early. Great for the coasters that develop longer lines as the days wears on- you can get them in before the other crowds show up. Clean and safe fun is what you're in for so plan a trip for yourself- just do yourself a favor and do a search of all the rides available- if you're not a fan of rollercoasters, there aren't many other non-coaster rides you'd enjoy.

We visited Hersheypark as a family, and this was the first visit for my husband and our two young…read moreboys, ages 6 and 4. I had been to the park several times when I was younger, but it had probably been 15-20 years since my last visit. Needless to say, a lot has changed. When we arrived, parking seemed organized, but there was a huge line to enter the park, so we decided to visit Chocolate World first. The ride was mostly how I remembered it, although the chocolate-smell portion didn't seem to be working, which was a little disappointing. Once we entered Hersheypark, we were handed a Dark Nights map, which wasn't particularly helpful for navigating the park. We eventually found another posted map near the entrance to The Hollow, but that wasn't much better. We finally downloaded the app, which was much more useful, although I personally prefer having a physical map. Trying to navigate an unfamiliar park on a phone while also managing two young children made the experience unnecessarily stressful. Our biggest disappointment was discovering that more than half of the children's rides appeared to be closed that day. It was a beautiful day with no rain, so we weren't sure why so many of them were unavailable. With children ages 4 and 6, those rides were a major reason for our visit, so having so many closed significantly impacted our experience. We also walked through ZooAmerica. Unfortunately, we left feeling uncomfortable with some of the animal enclosures, which seemed quite small. The ocelot in particular was pacing repeatedly, and we noticed extensive scratching on the viewing window near the alligator gar exhibit. Obviously, we're not animal-care experts, but some of what we observed made the zoo portion of our visit feel more sad than enjoyable. Another frustrating aspect of the day was simply navigating through the crowds. I understand that Hersheypark has limited control over individual guests, but there were numerous occasions where people stood in the middle of pathways or blocked areas while socializing, seemingly unaware that others were trying to get through. This even happened inside Chocolate World while we were clearly trying to select candy and fill our bags. With two young children in tow, constantly trying to maneuver around groups of people made an already stressful day more frustrating. The food was fairly standard amusement-park fare, although the burger was exceptionally disappointing. Spending around $50 for one cheeseburger, one order of chicken tenders, fries, and two drinks also felt excessive for the quality of the food. One thing we did genuinely appreciate was the availability of free ice and water throughout the park. Overall, this was unfortunately a very disappointing experience. Between the difficulty navigating the park, the large number of closed children's rides, the crowds, the food prices, and our experience at the zoo, the day simply wasn't what we had hoped for. I'm not sure if or when we'll return, but if we do, it will probably be when our children are considerably older and able to enjoy the larger rides. Based on this visit, the park seemed much better suited to older children, teenagers, and adults than families visiting primarily for attractions geared toward younger kids.

The prizes are cheap and who needs candy as surprises. UCK. We the camps book for the day; they do not watch their children, the children are rude, love to bully the other children, steal their cards, no self control especially the boys kept grabbing and pinching their penis. Loud, while skipping the line and the counselors are the worst, watching them skip the line until you say something to the children. But I did not let them spoil ur fun. The counselors do not dress appropriately nor dress covered up; the are fat out of shape and on their phones the whole time never keeping up with the children beware who is around your rude children. Parents stop working all the time and take the time to be with your children they are horrible and all you are doing is dropping them off so we can deal with them is why they world is in such bad shape. Other than that the food was simple. But laser tag was so much fun. The games updated. Bathrooms were clean until the camps kids arrived. Teach your children to clean after themselves they are not at home. A sad generation coming behind us. But overall a fun place. And the ride experts were well mannered. I would go again. Parents be responsible for your children And do ore with them. Please teach them so manners and the camp counselors.

This park was chill as it reminded me of like a city park that has rides, mini golf, and go karts as well as two wooden coasters! My visit happened to be on opening day of the 2022 season and I must say it was a good time as the park was kinda dead making for me to get multiple rides on Leap The Dips which was totally what's good! This park is really chill as it's like wide open with lots of picnic tables and places to hangout which I thought was kinda cool. While this might not be the biggest park around it still serves it's purpose for it's community making for an amazing time no matter how old or young you are. Their associates here were all very nice and friendly as I talked to alot of them and it was definitely enjoyable seeing how they care about the park. Overall this was a good time and an awesome time riding this old school woodie I'm not sure when I'll get back here again but I can definitely say that it was worth the trip to ride this legendary wooden roller coaster!

My husband and I hadn't been here in a few years, and since we (and my cousin and her husband) were…read moregoing to a Curve game, we decided to check this place out. Wow! What a downgrade! Lakemont Park used to have a seemingly random assemblage of portable rides which were still fun to ride. The whole atmosphere was that of a carnival-meets-dive-bar (the good kind of dive bar). But now the rides are no more, the coasters are still standing but not operating, and all that remains basically are batting cages and mini golf. Well as long as we were there, we figured we'd try the batting cages (I hit quite a few of line drives). But in short, there's no there anymore. And it was strange to see the two coasters standing there silent. Leap-the-Dips is the oldest coaster in North America and the only side-friction coaster. It's my second-favorite after Kennywood's Phantoms Revenge and half the fun of riding it was wondering whether this old, over-grown pile of Tinkertoys would collapse as you were riding it. By the way, it is a National Historic Landmark and the operator of Lakemont must keep it standing and in operable condition. But the money's not there. As for the Skyliner it's a fun vintage wooden coaster. It gave you a great view of the adjacent ballpark, and vice versa. The train had an "Altoona Curve" sign on its side, which was plainly visible from the ballpark.

Staff were friendly and willing to answer my questions especially in regards to what my youngest kid couldn't/couldn't do. We came here on a Sunday morning and it was not crowded at all. This place is especially great for kids 11 and under, which was perfect since my kids could really do whatever they wanted since there were no crowds. My kids loved the obstacle course and spent forever on it. It's fenced in, and everything is well protected. It also appears to be very-well maintained. We also did the go-carts, which was perfect for my kids. My daughter sat with my wife as a passenger (she's only charged $3 because she can't drive as opposed to the full fee). These are electric go-carts and don't accelerate much, making it very safe for kids who are learning. My son, who is 48 inches could drive on his own and the reduced speed of typical go-cards made learning perfect for him. We also did quite a few laps in 5 minutes. I do think, however, that if they were 12 or older, it wouldn't have been as much fun since again, it's a bit slow compared to typical go-carts. The arcade was fine. Standard arcade stuff. Prices were on the higher end and there wasn't much diversity (there were way too many claw machines IMO). $10 gets you about 5 games, which again, seems high. We did not eat any of the food since we were there before lunch and the options seemed like low-quality arcade food. We also did not do the virtual reality or laser tag this trip. We would definitely return.
