Steve’s take
The sweetest place on Earth — literally. Hersheypark is a full theme park built by the chocolate company, and the whole town smells like chocolate. Roller coasters, a waterpark, and Chocolate World next door where you get free chocolate at the end of the ride. Free. Chocolate. If you're taking the I-81 route from the Northeast, this is the big-stop option that turns a driving day into a vacation day. Your kids will not complain.
