Dutch Wonderland and/or Hershey itineraries?

If anyone can share their itinerary and what they felt was can't miss in the areas, I would appreciate it. I think we're doing both parks in one trip. I've seen a lot about Turkey Hill and Strasburg Railway. Not sure how much my DDs would like those. My girls are 4.5, 3, and 8 months.

I'm having trouble charging my phone (the only internet I get a chance to use) and can't use it on the charger either. So, any tips are appreciated. I'd love to copy your trip. Thanks!

Dutch Wonderland and/or Hershey itineraries?

I highly recommend Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Lancaster. While you're there, you get to see the train pass by multiple times which was more than enough for my train riding son.

Here's what we did:
Monday - got there are relaxed by the pool
Tuesday - cherry crest adventure farm the played by pool/dinner/park
Wednesday - Dutch Wonderland/dinner/park
Thursday - pool in the AM and then went home

We went with 2 3 year olds, 2 2 year olds and an infant.

We just came back from Lancaster and loved it. We spent the morning at DW doing the dry rides and then the water park which my 2.5 year old absolutely loved. After lunch, we did Cherry Crest Farms which was so much fun and had so many things to do and see. I was amazed at how spread out and not crowded it was. A place like that on Long Island would be packed and not as enjoyable. We did see the train go by several times and my son loved waving to it and everyone waving back.

We went to see the Strasburg train the next morning but didn't actually ride because the times didn't work out, but my son's favorite part was the Thomas the tank engine store outside the railroad. We had to drag him out of there kicking and screaming. Chat Icon

We stayed at Eden which is amazing so we also spent a lot of time at the pool/sprinkler area and playground.

We usually get to Eden around lunch, have lunch by the pool, go swimming, then do the preview night at Dutch and do the dry rides, we usually eat dinner at Red Robin across the street
Next morning, we do water park area in the morning, lunch at park and maybe a few more dry rides
Back to the hotel to shower, buggy ride, and then get dinner
Next day we have done turkey hill or Strasbourg railroad and then lunch and home

This year we are staying an extra day so going to do cherry crest one day and maybe stop at the please touch museum on the way home
