Family things to do in Hershey and Harrisburg

Bring the kids and join us for some good old-fashioned family fun activities. You'll find so many things to do with the family in Hershey and Harrisburg, Pa, it’s bound to bring you closer together.

Start your family adventure in Hershey, Pa with some world-class rollercoasters at Hersheypark, making sure you see Hershey's Chocolate World and get on a wild Pennsylvania safari at Zoo America. It's all within walking distance! Keep things exciting with some miniature golf, go-karts or a live performance at the GIANT Center, and then slow it down by exploring the hiking and biking trails all across the area.

Harrisburg will keep the family busy, too. City Island is a 63-acre recreational area for locals and visitors alike, offering miles of hiking, biking and boating. Miniature golf, paddleboats, volleyball courts and batting cages are just some of the activities that will keep you busy all day long. There's even an old-time antique carousel. Afterwards, enjoy a night at the ballpark, and watch future major leaguers on the Harrisburg Senators baseball team … all without leaving the island.
