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.

Went on a rainy Sunday, so it wasn't overly crowded but surprisingly there was a lot of people with their kids and strollers! Even though I don't ride roller coasters, I loved going to amusement parks to eat and drink my way around. This park definitely catered to people of all ages and I loved that they had alcohol and beverage places all around the park, even though it was dependent on what was open. Food selection was limited. We got our Fried Dough, ice cream, frozen bananas, churros, and small turkey legs (That was disappointing). They have a food area that served BBQ and some restaurants all over the park. Parts of the park was closed because of the rain which they eventually opened up their rides later in the evening. We ended up going back later at night for their Halloween Haunted houses and I really do like the fact that they let people back into the park so you don't have to stay there all day and not be able to leave and take a nap. We didn't have that much time for the Haunted Houses, but did go to one of them which I was more so impressed with how they got everything set up so fast when we had only left the park for a few hours. They did think through a lot of the effects with sound, light, and smoke. One of my girlfriends was definitely scared. The worse thing is that they did not have an organized location for Uber. We ubered there in the evening so we could drink, and the park closed all its entrances and exits so the drivers could not get in. My friends and I ended up going hiking almost two miles to Giant Stadium to catch an Uber OUTSIDE of their parking lot. The place was a maze and when you put in Uber to Hershey Park, they would drop you off at the outside restaurants off Chocolate Ave, which was confusing. So just suck it up and drive to the park. Do not Uber! Overall the park was nice, but the food selections could be better and I wished they were more clear on what the hours were. We asked a few people on what time they closed and got different answers. We ended eating dinner there at the restaurant above the gift shop and didn't make it to the Chocolate Factory which was overly packed with kids. We were so exhausted from walking and drinking in the rain, we probably could have done the park over two days than one.

I've never left a bad review on a business, but my experience today was extremely disheartening…read more I frequently visited Adventure Park USA back in 2013 - 2015. I had an hour to waste today, so I came in to play a few arcade games. I was hoping I'd be able to relive some of the nostalgia from a decade ago. I didn't visit the outside section of the park, only the arcade. To say that this place has went downhill is an understatement. Literally everything is broken. There's maybe 60 arcade games and 40 of them are broken. Of the remaining 20, many of them are prize games that aren't stocked or have missing pieces. I wanted to leave after about 10 minutes, but I figured I would use the rest of my credits first. I bought the minimum amount which was $25, and they give you an additional $5. I was walking around looking for anything I could play. I saw the basketball game only had 2 basketballs, which is a little unfortunate, but I decided to try it anyway. I scan my card, the machine takes my money, and the game doesn't start. This happened to me on maybe 6 different games. I even witnessed a game shutdown in the middle of someone playing it. I was amazed. Nearly every game is out of order. I'm certain I could have went to the front desk and got refunded for the credits I spent on games that didn't work, but what's the point? What game was I going to spend those credits on? Nothing works. I ended up playing the milk jug toss game about 15 times until I ran out of credits. Shortly after, I went to the ticket redemption counter. I had roughly 400 tickets. For reference, a full size candy bar is 500 tickets. There was one girl working the front desk/ticket redemption area, but she was busy answering the phone. I waited for about few minutes before deciding there was nothing worth spending the tickets on. I ended up tossing the card in the trash and driving home. I felt really empty. The lack of employees and lack of attention (or care) to broken machines is pretty upsetting. Until this place fixes these things, it's not worth your time or money.

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.

Only in my version, there was a little less whimsy and a whole lot more commercialism! But make no mistake, the magic was still there, and my inner child was absolutely enchanted. Imagine stepping into a ginormous, brightly colored chocolate wonderland, almost like a warehouse sprinkled with a little Wonka magic. Everywhere I turned, Hershey's chocolates and candies were beautifully displayed, tempting me like edible treasures waiting to be discovered. And yes, nearly everything was for sale! It was as though someone had unlocked the gates to a chocolate kingdom and handed me a shopping basket. But this magical kingdom offers more than mountains of chocolate. You can create your very own personalized chocolate bar, watch a film about the legendary Mr. Hershey in a theater, or simply relax at one of the many tables toward the back while enjoying snacks, sodas, and even adult beverages. And tucked away upstairs is an indoor amusement ride that takes you on a journey through the chocolate-making process. I know, I know. A ride about making chocolate sounds about as exciting as watching fudge harden, but trust me, the kids will find it delightful, while adults will appreciate the fascinating history and craftsmanship behind every sweet bite. I was fortunate enough to visit for a private event, which included dinner. Our meal featured lasagna and braised beef drizzled with a chocolate-infused sauce. Now, I appreciate culinary creativity, but let's just say the savory dishes didn't exactly cast a spell on my taste buds. The desserts, however? Sweet mother of cocoa, THAT was where the real magic happened! It was a chocolate lover's paradise, a decadent smorgasbord that would have made even Willy Wonka shed a tear of joy. Imagine fountains of silky, melted chocolate waiting to embrace fresh strawberries, fruit, pretzels, marshmallows, and just about anything else you could dream of dipping. There were chocolate chip cookies, rich brownies, luscious chocolate cakes, and an assortment of chocolate-inspired creations and pairings that seemed to stretch into eternity. It was a glorious, unapologetic celebration of cocoa in all its heavenly forms. If chocolate is your weakness, consider this your delicious downfall. Hershey's Chocolate World sits alongside Hersheypark, and here's something I didn't realize until my visit: Hersheypark is no ordinary amusement park! We're talking a full-fledged theme park that gives places like Six Flags a run for their money, complete with thrilling roller coasters and attractions for both the young and the young at heart. Unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to venture into the park, but discovering what it offered made me wish I'd had another day to explore. Next time, I plan to unleash my inner child on those roller coasters, wander through the attractions, and then finish the day exactly where any proper chocolate adventure should end: back inside Hershey's Chocolate World, surrounded by the irresistible aroma of cocoa and the sweet temptation of one more treat. After all, some childhood fantasies aren't meant to be outgrown. They're meant to be dipped in chocolate!

​We were really looking forward to a great day at Dutch Wonderland, but our visit was completely…read moreruined by severe overcrowding and extreme understaffing. ​The park was clearly operating far beyond a reasonable capacity. Every single walkway was wall-to-wall people, and the lines were absurd--we found ourselves waiting over an hour for almost every single ride, even the minor kiddie attractions. ​To make matters worse, the park felt severely understaffed, and the employees who were there showed zero sense of urgency. Rides were loading at a painfully slow pace, operations were sluggish, and workers moved with complete apathy despite seeing massive lines wrapping around the pathways. Simple ride cycles took twice as long as they should have because staff were moving in slow motion and seemed completely untrained or unmotivated to keep things moving efficiently. ​Between paying full price for admission and spending 90% of our day standing in motionless lines, it felt like a total waste of time and money. Dutch Wonderland desperately needs to cap its daily attendance and properly staff/train their team before taking people's money for an experience like this. Would not recommend visiting until they address these major capacity and operational issues.
