The Sweetest Food on Earth
They really master theme park food with their variety & quality. From savory to sweet & beyond, there really is something for every foodie at Hersheypark. Do yourself a favor and have a cheat day – you’re at the Sweetest Place on Earth after all.
Founder’s Way Funnel Cakes
Located at the Funnel-Cake Stand in Founder’s Way not far from the main entrance, this food kiosk serves up fantastically fried theme park delights. Deep Fried Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a decadent treat unlike no other. For Jared, no trip to Hersheypark is complete without an order (or 2) of these bad boys. These very tasty treats are served in pairs, and they are worth every penny.
Another favorite menu item from this location is the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Funnel Cake. This perfectly fried funnel cake covered with our favorite Reese’s candy satisfies our sweet tooth in every way. We highly recommend treating yourself to one!
Tower Fries
Grab a milk shake, a bucket of fresh cut French fries or load them up with your favorite toppings poutine-style at Tower Fries, conveniently located near Hersheypark’s Kissing Tower attraction.
Topped fries are available in BBQ Pulled Pork, Cheddar Bacon Ranch, and Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese Fries. Jared’s favorite is the Cheddar Bacon Ranch, and it’s a must order on every visit.
Chickie’s & Pete’s
In case you didn’t know, Chickie’s & Pete’s is a part of the Philadelphia Food Pyramid, and being from Philadelphia means we can never turn down a crab fry.
When you’re traveling, there’s nothing better than having a little piece of home in your diet, and at Hersheypark we can do just that with Chickie’s & Pete’s famous Crabfries and chicken tenders. For us, this is true comfort food. With two locations in Hersheypark, it’s easy to grab yourself a bite. You won’t be disappointed!
Simply Chocolate
Also located in Founder’s Way, Simply Chocolate serves up King Size Milk Shakes as well as hand-dipped and soft-serve Turkey Hill ice cream.
Turkey Hill is a Lancaster-based dairy local to the central Pennsylvania region, and we love nothing more than grabbing a cone or a cup of delicious Turkey Hill Ice Cream and a table in Founder’s Way to take in the beautiful views of Hersheypark’s Kissing Tower as the Great Bear roars through The Hollow.
Hershey’s Chocolate World
Just outside the park’s gates, you’ll find an array of menu items inside Hershey’s Chocolate World’s Food Hall including everything from salads to slushies, pizza and pretzels, to the most delicious Hershey’s Milk Shakes and Ice Cream.
It is a Hersheypark tradition that we grab a serving of Hershey’s Ice Cream as we make our way out of the Park. Because Hershey’s Ice Cream isn’t something we can get at home, it’s something we just can’t live without!
The Chocolatier
Grab a re-entry stamp & leave the Park for a chocolatey delicious lunch at Hersheypark’s newest spot, The Chocolatier – book your dining reservation on OpenTable prior to your visit.
Located right outside the park’s gate, The Chocolatier is a full-service restaurant beautifully themed with relics of Hersheypark past. We really enjoyed our appetizer, because what’s more exciting than a Ferris Wheel of Food?
We can’t recommend Hersheypark enough! If you find yourself in central Pennsylvania, we hope our this post has you eating all the sweetest things at Hersheypark!
