In 1903, Milton S. Hershey, founder of the Hershey Chocolate Company, surveyed a site along Spring Creek that would be suitable for his park. Hersheypark opened on April 24, 1907, with a baseball game played on the new athletic field. The beautifully landscaped park was an ideal spot for picnicking, boating and canoeing. Vaudeville and theatre productions were performed on a rustic bandstand and pavilion, a merry-go-round was installed and a 1,500-seat tiered amphitheatre was built next to the pavilion. The park was expanded in 1909 with the addition of a tennis court, two bowling alleys, a large band shell, and a photography gallery. Guests could also enjoy a relaxing scenic ride on the Scenic Railroad. Today guests enjoy a large water park and roller coaster. And Hershey’s Chocolate World is right next door for the chocolate lovers in your crowd! Not only the sweetest city in the Nation, there is also the best entertainment in Pennsylvania!
