My Adventure With Scooby at Hershey Park

I spent the day with my family at Hershey Park yesterday. It was hot and tiring, but we managed to have a good time. The kids spent the day on the water rides and on a few roller coasters and Scooby had a little adventure looking around the park.

Pulling Into the Parking Lot
Here is Scooby sitting on the dashboard of the van as we got through the gate and headed to the park. It's not totally clear, but the flowers behind Scooby spell out HERSHEY.


The Chocolate World Sign and Ride
Here is Scooby with the Chocolate World sign. We did the tour, of course. I remember it being a lot more fun in previous years. I feel like they made it too technological and with the video screen in the car and the stuff all around you to look at, it's tough to focus. I felt like I missed a lot of info because I wasn't sure where to look. They updated the cars now too. I added a picture of the new cars. They have doors now and look more like a shuttle. 


Here is Scooby waiting in line for the Chocolate World ride. It was nice being in the air conditioned building for a while. It was 90+ degrees outside and Hershey Park doesn't have a whole lot of shady areas to go to.

Here is another one of Scooby on the Chocolate World ride.


Here is a picture of what the new Chocolate World cars look like. They don't look anything like the old ones. 


Scooby Found a Friend
We all know how much Scooby loves food! While chocolate isn't safe for normal dogs to eat, Scooby can handle it! He would never eat Reese's though. They bonded quite a bit yesterday!


Entering the Park
After going on the factory tour ride, we made our way to the park entrance. There was an insane amount of people at the park, which was a bit surprising since it was so hot. We had to stand in line for a bit to get in and Scooby wanted his picture with the sign while we waited. 


Around the Park
We spent quite a lot of time at the park, mostly in the water park until they closed at 8pm. Scooby didn't want to get wet, so he spent a lot of time in the shade. Here is a picture of one of the water areas that Scooby avoided. 


This is the picture I added on Social Media to see if anyone knew where Scooby was. The roller coaster in the background is called Wildcat. This was where we ate lunch.



Scooby didn't go on the Ferris Wheel, but he liked the look of it as it was starting to get dark and the lights came on. 


Scooby found a topiary cow. It was the only topiary we saw in the park.


This Corvette was in the park. Corvettes are my favorite car, so having Scooby take a picture with it was awesome!


Scooby found this fountain outside of The Kissing Tower. He made a wish and threw in a penny. 


Of course, Scooby had to have his picture taken with the Milton Hershey statue.


Our final ride for the night was The Kissing Tower. The view was awesome! You get a 360 degree view of Hershey. While 1 part of it is just parking lots and buildings, the view of the park is amazing, especially at night with all the lights. 


Here is Scooby checking out the view from The Kissing Tower. You can see the Hershey Triple Towers all lit up. They are brand new this year.


Here is a better picture of the Triple Towers that I took from the ground. 


Our time at Hershey ended with a trip to the store to buy some chocolate. Scooby wanted this 5lb. chocolate bar, but we had to say no. 


We enjoyed our day at Hershey. And enjoyed another Adventure with Scooby. 



Dinner at the Cocoa Diner
Before heading home, we stopped for dinner at the Cocoa Diner. It was good, and open late, since we didn't leave the park til 11pm. We all know how much Scooby loves food! 


Stay tuned for more #AdventuresWithScooby. You never know where he will be going next!
