Going this weekend to the park but staying closer towards Harrisburg. Any good restaurants in the area for dinner and then maybe brunch on Sunday? I have no idea if Harrisburg is a nice or if they even have a downtown area. Nothing fancy just good food pubs are fine or a cool bar with good bar food.
Great steaks/seafood just across the river from downtown at a place called Tavern on the Hill.
Ton's of sports bars and breweries that are decent.
Found a really cool hole-in-the-wall Cuban restaurant down in the Shipoke area (south of center-city, riverside)
Yelp is your friend. Enjoy your trip. Hersheypark is a blast. My daughter was just up there 3 weeks ago

Thank you!! Any of the sports bars you recommend? I might try to catch some of the soccer games there Sunday.
First impression is Harrisburg is a shit hole.
We didn't hang out there too much because we stayed in Hershey.
Fenicci's in Hershey was good. that is the only restaurant that was memorable.

Harrisburg aint much, but its certainly not a shithole.
Tattered Flag in Middletown is a cool brewery with good food. They have games on the TV’s. Hoageez in Hummelstown a good little place for lunch.
Dinner places in Harrisburg. Pastorante is our favorite, little Italian BYOB joint. All homemade food. Gabriella is good, The Millworks is good.
We were contemplating doing water park in the morning and then maybe zoo then park.
Any "hacks" or suggestions on how to structure the trip?
Went to a pretty cool Thai restaurant there. Don't remember name, but food was good and inside of restaurant was pretty cool. It was next to a Quality Inn on the river.
Took my son to Hershey Park and embarrassed him by screaming SHIT! like a foul mouthed little girl on rides. Couldn't help myself.

Arooga's is a popular local wing/sports bar with a few locations. Underdog Sports Bar is another.
Sorry I can't be more specific. I moved away in '99 and only visit every couple of years.
Lots of decent pizza places too (I grew up working at one, heh)
Some genius decided that made-to-order restaurants like Subway and Moe's belong in an amusement park. Last time we were there it took 2 hours to get lunch.
If you've got your car, pack a cooler and get handstamps to get back in.
I believe I got the HERSHEY SQUIRTS from Hershey drinking water!
Who woulda thunk?
Thai Palace - ( New Window )
Ernie Accorsi mentions it in his book as his favorite place in his hometown.
Try the upside down pizza. Good pie. Also, Ernie often goes there early on Friday nights...he sits at the end of the bar and is out of there by 7:00.
