Haven’t been in a long time, but Hersheypark is fun.
OP, if you want to try something a little different, also consider Knoebels in Elysburg, PA. It’s a smaller park with nice shady grounds and a nostalgic feel. They have several coasters including wooden one and a great log flume, plus a good number of kiddie rides and other traditional rides for the whole family. (And one of the few carousels left where you can try to grab a brass ring!)
The best part about Knoebels is that admission is free. You can either get a pay-one-price pass or buy individual ride tickets. (It’s great for grandparents who don’t ride but want to spend the day with grandkids.) Food is pretty good and reasonably priced, and they also allow you to bring your own and use their picnic area. They also have a big swimming pool and a campsite. Check out their website and reviews. It’s a little over an hour’s drive from Hershey, so you could visit both in the same trip.
I love that carousel!
