Guests of the Hotel Hershey can enjoy an amazing outdoor pool complex that features an infinity edge adult pool and whirlpool, family pool with zero-grade entry, two large slides and a kiddie spray deck. Tucked away behind the Harvest restaurant this oasis was our favorite hideaway on the property. 

The kids and I went down the slides multiple times, the little kids were confident in the gradual grade of the bottom of the pool and we all enjoyed snacks and drinks poolside. A little luxury that we don’t get to indulge in that often, but could quickly get use to. Poolside Menu. Poolside Drink Menu.
