With subtle hints of spring poking through (hello, sunshine!), it's time to consider a weekend getaway to Hershey, Pa.
For the first two weekends in April, Hersheypark will open for Springtime in the Park – you can get your tickets now!
From the park to the gardens, Chocolate World to hockey, there's a something here for everyone.
- Did you know that Hershey has more than three golf courses?
- Did you know that the Sooperdooperlooper was the first looping roller coaster on the east coast? It's still in operation at Hersheypark today.
- Did you know that Milton Hershey once owned a sugar plantation in Cuba due to the country's ideal climate for sugar production?
To learn more about Hershey's history, and what to do, see, eat and try while visiting, pick up a copy of my book, Hershey: A Guide to the Town Built on Chocolate, at Amazon.com or at your local Borders or Barnes & Noble.
In addition to detailed reports on the history, attractions, dining and
accommodations in Hershey, four other cities are included in a special
section on "Day Trips." That section includes restaurant, nightlife and
tourist attractions for Harrisburg, York, Lancaster and Gettysburg.
For more information or questions about the book, please contact me.
If you are interested in purchasing copies of the book to re-sell at your business, please contact me for more information and available bulk discounts.
