THINGS TO DO IN HARRISBURG/HERSHEY

The TRI committee wants you to have an enjoyable time while you attend the conference.  You can extend the fun by arriving early or staying beyond the conference to enjoy the region.

Welcome to the Heart of PA™ region a destination alive with activity! Comprised of Dauphin and Perry counties, the Hershey Harrisburg Region has it all—from family-friendly HERSHEYPARK to historic downtown Harrisburg and everything in between.
While you may be familiar with Hershey, America’s favorite chocolate town, or Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s beautiful capital city—you may have never even realized how close the Heart of PA™ region is to Gettysburg, Amish Country and York or how quiet and untouched our pristine wilderness truly is. When you visit, you’ll find that we truly do have it all—warm hospitality, exciting attractions, outdoor adventure, comfortable accommodations and an array of dining options.
