Eastern PA here, but go to Hershey usually every Christmas season (not this year though)... We go sometimes during the summer, but not every year. Also go to Knoebels at leasts once in the fall / leaves change.

That's awesome! My wife and I have season passes for Hershey Park. What part of Eastern PA are you from? I was born and raised in Allentown, PA so I go visit there at least once a month to drive around all my favorite childhood spots. Some are still the same and some are different. But all still recognizable! I wanted to raise my son in Allentown, bit unfortunately we ended up settling in Carlisle. Hopefully we can move to Allentown in the next 5 years.

Sorry for the delay as life has been hectic for sure... We are actually in the Allentown area and have season passes for Dorney Park. We bought them for 2020 and got to go for the rest of 2019 "for free" after Labor Day. With the pandemic we didn't go last year but they extended all 2020 passes for 2021 since they are not issuing refunds. A lot has certainly changed and Carlisle is also a nice area too!

Oh wow! Man, I miss Dorney Park. It definitely is a great park to go to. I would get season passes but I think I missed the deadline for the cheapest prices.

Let’s not short change the name here. “Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom” I used to go at least once a summer when I used to live in PA. Anybody remember when you used to have to walk across the loose stone parking lot to go between the two parks?....I do.

Thanks for the catch!

I totally remember and also remember the time where they had a mini golf and golf cart between the two that you could pay for just that for those local to the area.

I lived in Central PA for several years before moving back to 'Burgh a couple of years ago. Miss being so very close to Hershey, and some other Central PA greats! Hello everyone! Wishing you all well!
