#4: Hersheypark, Hershey, PA
A world of chocolate awaits at Hersheypark which was founded in 1907 by Milton Hershey for the employees who worked at the Hershey Chocolate Company. Eventually the park, located about 30 miles northwest of Lancaster, opened to the public, and these days has more than 110 acres and 60 rides and attractions (including 11 roller coasters). Heights are broken down by candy types: From the tall "Jolly Ranchers," who can enjoy the Roller Soaker and dump up to four gallons of water on spectators below — and get some of it back; to the "Hershey Miniatures" who can ride the Tiny Timbers log flume. Next door to the park is Hershey's Chocolate World, which offers shops, restaurants and the Great American Chocolate Tour that, of course, includes a free sample.
