Travel by Plane
There are Several Airports within a 2-hour distance of The Hotel Hershey.
We highly suggest pricing them out using the following criteria:
Overall cost
includes the cost of flight + ride-share service, car or train ticket
If you rent a car, make sure to add in the cost of tolls (we suggest getting the easy-pass add-on) and gas to the total.
Parking at The Hotel Hershey is free.
Amount of travel from departure to arrival at the hotel
Sometimes, the cost increase of travel is worth it if it makes getting to the final destination easier.
Define what you want to get out of this trip:
If seeing the scenic beauty of PA is important, maybe the drive isn’t as concerning.
If you want to get to the destination with as little commotion as possible, maybe a higher plane ticket but minimal other travel costs is your focus.
Everyone enjoys (or despises) travel differently, so do what suits you best. If you need help deciding or looking at costs, please get in touch with Jessica. Our only ask is you make it to the Rock Garden Grotto on time for the ceremony!
