PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

Is it possible to stay at one hotel, and visit:

Sesame, Hershey Park & Dutch Wonderland

Or a combination of 2 of the above ?

We belong to a time share type thing
( I haven't explored what locations they have in the PA area yet) and was hoping to visit a few attractions while in PA, while staying at one hotel....

Also I know the Crayola Factory is around there, anything else good ?

I have on the brain

You could definitely stay at the same hotel and do DW and Hershey. It may be tough with Sesame Place unless you do Sesame Place and then drive to Lancaster/Hershey afterward.

Personally I'd do Sesame Place as a day trip on another weekend and just do Lancaster/DW in one trip.

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

Hershey and DW yes. But I think Sesame was about an hour and a half away from those two

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

I think Dorney Park is in the same vicinity as hershey park also, but I'm not positive.

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

We stay in Lancaster as opposed to Hershey. More to do in that area I think. Hands on House is nice, it's a children's museum. Also the Strasburg Railroad and there are quite a few train museums in that area as well.

There is a timeshare place near Hershey, I can't remember the name though.

Dorney and Crayola are both far.

Sesame is the furthest out of the way from the other two. I used to live right near Sesame but it's a hike from Hershey.

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

I live ten min from sesame. Hershey / Dutch wonderland is an hour and half from us (i believe..we havent driven there yet);

So i would do Hershey/Dutch Wonderland together, and then either do Sesame on the way home or on the way there and spend most of the day there.

our friends from LI come in and spend the day at Sesame, so its doable in 1 day.

Thank you everyone

So it looks like the best bet is to make Sesame a seperate week-end type trip
(as you can tell I am directionally challenged )

I will also check into the other attractions mentioned !!!

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

we stayed at the same hotel the time we went to Dutch Wonderland and hershey. it worked out great. I think as said above, it may be better to do Sesame at a separate time.

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

We did this exactly last summer. We stayed in Sesame for 2 nights (sooo not needed one is fine ) then drove to Dutch Wonderland (took less thank 90 min ina BAD rain storm) and stayed there for 2 nights.

It was doable.

Re: PA vacation Q- Is it possible to stay at one hotel...

If you go to Lancaster, definitely check out the Hands on House mueseum as mentioned above - it is really cute.

This place:

Cherry Crest

was also on our list of things to do, but the weather wasn't great and DD got sick so we didn't make it there.

The Strasburg Railroad is also nearby. They happened to have Thomas there when we went (DD was terrified though!) but I wouild definitely go back just to go on a train ride - she loved that part of it.
