While WCGA members may want to golf, your family would have preference/early access to Hershey Park. They would have free parking at the Park and can enter the theme park an hour early before the public. Hershey Park has rides, including roller coasters, a water park, zoo, and chocolate tour. Guests also receive complimentary admission to Hershey Story Museum, Hershey Gardens, and Chocolate World.

The resort also has cottages that may be of interest for WCGA members who are interested in making this a family getaway.
