I don't know about you, but I've been missing a lot of my favorite places during this time while we're at home with the safety measures in place from the coronavirus pandemic. Like many of you, I've had travel plans upended - including a birthday weekend visit to one of my favorite local destinations, Hershey, Pennsylvania. We like to visit Hershey several times a year for trips to Hershey's Chocolate World, Hersheypark, and more. So while we can't go experience the fun of Hershey in person, we brought the fun of Hershey to our house with these fun activities!
Hershey At Home Activities
Hersheypark Coloring Pages - Thanks to the wonderful folks at Hersheypark, here are some free printable coloring pages. We love planning our visits to see our favorite characters and ride the exciting roller coasters. These coloring pages keep the excitement alive until we can visit again!
Planning a visit to Hersheypark? Check out my guide for visiting with kids!
Ride the Roller Coasters - I know what you're thinking. . .ride the roller coasters? But the park is closed?!? No worries, Hersheypark has released POV videos on their YouTube channel of their roller coasters so you can feel like you're a part of the SWEET excitement. Check it out!!!
Make Some Hershey Sweets - We all know one of the best things about visiting Hershey, PA is the chocolate! I mean, what other theme park is entirely inspired by and centered around chocolate? So when you can't visit Hersheypark and Hershey's Chocolate World right now, you can still make some yummy Hershey chocolate treats. Some of our favorites:
- S'mores - You know the drill. Grab some graham crackers, marshmallows, and a Hershey's chocolate bar! No fire, no problem! You can preheat the oven to 400 degrees and place the bottom part of the s'more and the marshmallow in the oven for 3-5 minutes until just softened. Then top with your favorite chocolate and the second half of your graham cracker.
- Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Brownies - OK, these may be a new addiction in my house. I made these from scratch, but you can easily use a base brownie box mix instead. I found the base brownie mix on Pinterest which linked to this site. After making the mix, I added crunched up Reese's cups to the batter then poured in the pan. I cut up two more Reese's cups to top the batter and then baked following the directions on the website. They turned out delicious!
I can't wait to be back in Hershey soon! Until then, I'll be making my own SWEET moments at home. Enjoy!
