Outdoor Adventure

Get a little wild this summer with Hershey & Harrisburg’s best outdoor activities. Animal lovers will want to try the safari tour at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park where the park’s furry friends come right up to say hello (and get a snack). Take in 360 views of Harrisburg, City Island, and the Susquehanna River from the top deck of The Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat, one of the nation’s last remaining paddlewheel boats. Hit the trails by boot or bike and enjoy a refreshing walk through our region’s natural surroundings. Those who like a little splash can navigate down the Susquehanna River by kayak.

Vineyards & Breweries

Who’s ready for a little summertime sippin’? As the weather gets warmer, special events heat up at our local wineries and craft breweries! In addition to delicious local wine, vineyards are serving up live music and festivals throughout the summer. Grab a patio spot at one of our craft breweries as you toast the long summer ahead!
