Trying to decide between DW and Hershey for a 3yo.

Yes but the water stuff is in a different area.

It's not gated off or anything. Just a glut of rides in one section.

No, there are several kiddie rides group together, but there are several areas throughout the park.

You can look at what rides are available here:

Here's a map of the park:

Do you think it is better than DW?

I don't mind not going on any water rides.

Re: Are all the kiddie rides at Hershey Park in the same area?

No they are not all in one area. If you mean is there one section of the entire park with kiddie rides, NO. We just went last summer and are going again this summer.

Kiddie rides are throughout the entire park, usually a group of 3 or 4 in one area with larger kid/adult rides in that area as well. It is nice b/c if you go with families with young and old kids, there is something for EVERYONE in EVERY area. Even the water park area....there are things for both YOUNG kids and older kids/adults in one area.

DW is probably better with your kids ages, although I prefer Hershey b/c my DD is only 3.5 but loves rides so much that we go with other families with older kids and we like having something for all the kids.

They are not all in the same area. There are a few in each section of the park. A 3 year old will love it but bring a stroller there is a lot of walking.

We just got back from disney and would prefer not to walk around so much. Maybe I will just stick with DW this year.

Stick with DW. Hershey is MUCH MUCH larger and you have to sort through all the adult rides. DW is very clean, small and nice.

They have a TON of kiddie rides scattered everywhere, but it's soooo much walking to get to all the different areas. Fun place though!

Exactly. We didn't get to do the water area (it was an overcast day anyway, not to hot).
Had a GREAT time though. DS is 5 and LOVED it.

DW is great for younger. Chat Icon

We when there in April with a 2 1/2& 1 1/2 year old.

When you first walk in, all those rides are for little ones. They both had a blast! But we didnt make it very far into the park. I dont think we even covered 1/4 of the park. But it was fun!


I will probably try DW soon.
