Year and years ago when I was growing up, Hershey Park was one of the destinations we always looked forward to. We would always go on summer break and ride the rides until we couldn’t stand it. Little did I know that there was is so much more to do at HersheyPark than just the amusement park.

HersheyPark Christmas Candylane is open select dates from November 13th until December 31st. During this time the park is adorned with over 4 million holiday lights. Everywhere you look is a magical spectacle and is sure to get you in the holiday spirit.

If the lights weren’t enough to get you going, the parks rides are also open. Take a ride on 4 of the parks most awesome coasters – sooperdooperLooper, Laff Trakk (First Indoor, Spinning, Glow-Coaster in the United States), Wildcat, and Cocoa Cruiser. Let me tell you, there’s just something about walking along in the park at night that is magical. Seeing the lights and all of the rides lit up just puts you in such a great mood and you want to share it with everyone!

Speaking of the park at night, you haven’t experienced anything until you have ridden a coaster at night! You know what else is great about the park in December, no long lines or melting from the heat!

Of course, no visit to Christmas Candylane would be complete without a visit with the man himself, Santa!

Let’s not forget his 9 LIVE reindeer either, they are waiting for you to visit just as much as Santa is!

Once you are done visiting, you can go ice skating at Rudolph’s Skating Pond for just $3 per rental.

If you would like to spend even more time with Santa, join him, Mrs. Claus and friends Saturdays and Sundays from November 21 to December 20 at HersheyPark Place restaurant for Breakfast and or Lunch where they will be telling stories, singing songs, and presenting a special treats for each child twelve and under.
