Hershey's Chocolate World
Free chocolate-factory-style tours with simulated scenes, make-your-own chocolate bars, and the world's largest Hershey's candy store.
Hershey's Chocolate World is the official visitor center of the Hershey Company. The free Chocolate Tour ride uses animation and simulated scenes to show the entire process, from cacao beans being grown to milk chocolate being made, and you get a piece of chocolate at the end. Paid experiences include “Create Your Own Candy Bar,” where you design your own recipe and wrapper, chocolate tasting classes, a 4D movie, and an interactive treasure-hunt show. There is also a trolley tour of the town of Hershey. The site has a large candy store and a food court. Chocolate milkshakes and Hershey's Kisses souvenirs are must-buys. Entry is free, paid experiences cost about $15–30, and during peak season, it's wise to book a time slot online.
