I am planning a weekday trip in August and can not decide whether to go to Hershey Park or Dutch Wonderland. I have 2 kids, ages 5 and 2 1/2. I have heard wonderful things about both parks but not sure which one would best suit us. Also, any hotel recommndations would be great! THANKS SO MUCH!! : )
Hershey Park or Dutch Wonderland??I would say Dutch Wonderland as its more geared toward the younger kids.
I can recommend 3 good places which we have been to repeatedly over the years. I have 3 kids ages 4 6 and 16. First would be willow valley resort which has the great indoor waterpark and 3 pools. Alot of activities to keep kids busy. The resort itself would keep the kids busy. They also have suites available that are a very good size. Second choice would be bird-in-hand family inn, they have a great pool area also, its a bit cheaper than willow valley but you get alot for your money (its like a mini resort without the resort prices) they have 2 indoor pools with a gigantic hot tub and right outside the indoor pools are the outdoor pool with graduated entry so its fun for the kids going from pool to pool, its very nice in summer with the outdoor pool also. mini golf onsite and a little petting farm. Third Fulton Steamboat which they have just renovated the rooms. They have a neat room with bunk beds for the kids and you can easily fit 2 kids per bed. The pool is much smaller but it would also be a neat place to bring the kids. If you are looking for a good pool scene the first two would be great.
Hershey Park or Dutch Wonderland??I also would vote for Dutch Wonderland...your kids are not too young for Hershey Park but most of the rides are geared towards an older group and it would not be cost-effective. They would certainly get their (your) money%26#39;s worth at DW.
Dutch Wonderland, definitely. I just took my 4-year-old daughter yesterday and she had a blast. We took my 12-year-old niece with us, and though she is well over the target age for DW, she had a great time too, especially in the lagoon, on the coaster, etc.
Do you like amusement parks? If so, as an adult, I think you may like Hershey better...bigger and more theme to it. They do have lots of kiddie rides for your age group and other more thrill rides for adults. I love to walk around theme parks so I would prefer Hershey.
I am sure your little ones would love either of the parks...I just think adults might prefer the size and atmosphere of Hershey.
If you plan to do other things such as train museum and/or children%26#39;s museum, etc, than maybe the lancaster area and dutch wonderland would be more convenient.
Having been to both, I just couldn%26#39;t suggest DW over Hershey based on theme park alone.
