The highlight in Hershey this year will be the unveiling of the biggest attraction Hersheypark has ever opened, The Boardwalk At Hersheypark. A grand tribute to the legendary boardwalks of the Northeast, The Boardwalk At Hersheypark will captivate guests with more than 100 fun-in-the-sun experiences, including the flavors, sounds and activities of an old-fashioned boardwalk, as well as the world’s largest water-play structure. The Boardwalk is scheduled to open on Memorial Day weekend.
Â
In addition to the centennial of Hersheypark, 2007 marks the 100th anniversary of one of Milton Hershey’s most beloved creations, the Hershey’s Kiss, and the 150th anniversary of the birth of Milton Hershey himself. It was Mr. Hershey whose passion for golf brought the sport to his town. In fact, the fifth hole of the West Course of Hershey Country Club is right on the front lawn of his mansion.
Â
Consistently ranked among the top resorts in the United States, Hershey Resorts’ guests have extended playing privileges at Hershey Country Club, which features two spectacular and distinctive 18-hole private courses.

The signature hole of the West Course is the par-3 fifth hole with High Point Mansion, Milton Hershey’s former home, as a spectacular backdrop. On the East Course, a par-71, designer George Fazio captured the natural beauty of Central Pennsylvania’s countryside with spectacular views that golfers can appreciate on every hole.
