Step right outside the door to SpringHill Suites Hershey and get a whiff of what the town truly has to offer.

There are approximately 75 different types of animals living in natural habitats at the Zoo.  The animals all come from North America and range from snakes to buffalo.  The plants growing at the Zoo also come from across North America and have signs letting you know what types they are as well.

Overall it was a great couple of hours with my family.  I would recomend this to anyone who has a an hour or two to walk around.  You can also take a picnic lunch along with you if you would like to spend more time outdoors!!
