The Ultimate Eating Guide To Hersheypark

Not only do they have a delicious pumpkin funnel cake sundae for the rest of the season, but they also have a dark chocolate funnel cake that they top with melted chocolate chips and whipped cream.

The question here isn't "what can you get at the Spring Creek Smokehouse?" Rather, it's "what can't you get at this place?" There are a lot of typical smokehouse-esque options, but my Very Professional Opinion is that you get the ribs, which are smoked on premises, with a side of gooey mac & cheese, and a monkey bread to snack on later.

You've likely seen the Turkey Hill signage before as the company does happen to be (1) very famous and (2) very good at making ice cream products. If you're looking for something more festive than straight dairy, might I suggest any of the frozen dipped cheesecake options? Portable and delicious!

'Twas here, dear reader, that I stumbled across the most exciting—and perhaps the most unexpected!—delicacy Hersheypark has to offer: pierogis. Pierogis! Loaded with bacon and kielbasa! Smothered in butter and cheese! Can you believe!?

Anyone looking for lighter fare will inevitably find themselves at this sit-in restaurant. They've got Impossible Burgers lathered in "avocado ranch" dressing. Perhaps my favorite instance of "let's take a good thing and make it bad, honey" kind of food in the park.

An iconic lil stop-in, to say the least, and probably the one place I'm going to tell you that you must eat from if you want to say you did Hersheypark right. The pulled pork fries topped with tiny coleslaw bits were good, but the buffalo ranch chicken dip fries? Those were divine.

Alright, guys. There is a correct way to do BBLz (a Hershey x Pepsi partnership). That correct way is at the beginning of the day before you've had a lot of sugar, as there aren't many options at this soda fountain-meets-candy-bar that are low in sugar. That said, any time you go, you'll experience the magical fun of watching your drink being made and talking to its creator through the process.

Just look at that thing. Do I really need to say more?

Pro tip, per a Hershey insider: Get both the OG salted pretzel and the cinnamon sugar one and take a half-bite of each at the same time. TRUST.

I didn't know what joy was until I mixed-and-matched my own whoopie pie. Truly, the options you have are outrageous, and each resulting treat is large enough to share with the whole fam. My pro tip is to pick up some utensils—the filling is so delicious you'll want to inhale it by the spoonful.

Lighter, allergen-friendly fare—an excellent option for those with restricted eating needs! This right here is a spinach and artichoke flatbread.

Old Bay seasoning dumped on top of crinkle fries that you can dip in a velvety white cheddar sauce? Count me TF in.
