(Amazing America)<\/p>\n<p>Hersheypark, a 121-acre amusement park in Hershey, Pennsylvania, is known as a summer travel destination with its 15 roller coasters and chocolate-themed rides.  Hershey Chocolate founder Milton S. Hershey opened it in 1906, and every year, around 3 million people flock to the park to immerse themselves in all things chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>And while the rides close for the winter, there is still plenty to do, including a trip to Chococolate World to learn how America&#8217;s most iconic candy is made. You can even make your own and learn the history of the legendary Made-in-America brand at the Hershey Story Museum.<\/p>\n<p>If you know a place where the locals gather and connect, we&#8217;d love to hear about it.
