The experience gets better every time we visit. I am old enough to remember when you could tour the factory(which was the best). The ride is informative and enjoyable More

If you don't mind waiting in line, then you'll probably enjoy HCW! Even during your wait, there are plenty of entertaining exhibits and displays to look at & learn from. After the free ride, you can shop &/or dine in the huge gift shop/ food court that awaits you after you exit the ride. Chocolate, pizza, souveniers, t-shirts, tins, stuffed... More

First of all if you are bringing children here - beware!! A giant room full of chocolate, a full food court full of junk food and a bakery! But wow is it awesome. Our favorite part of it is the great chocolate adventure tour. Its a people mover that takes you through the process of how they make the chocolate.... More

Driving back from Washington, we felt compelled to check it out for the kids. There is only one free attraction, a carousel ride from the 1970s with singing cows telling you how happy they are to "give" their milk for chocolate. It is a bit dangerous to get on and off - surprised that no-one has sued yet in this... More

Avoid going on a weekend because it is FULL of young children on field trips. The little ride with the singing cows is fun but the shop seems very overpriced. Get your candy at Walmart and pretend you bought it at the Hershey store :) More

The Hershey story is a silly little ride through an animated story of the Hershey factory and the process of making chocolate. It drops you off in a massive store of Hershey products More

Okay, admittedly this is one big commercial for Hershey's. But it has the ability to be educational, varied, and entertaining for the whole family. We went on a cold, rainy day so the place was packed. If you do plan to go, get there early. The place fills up as the afternoon wears on. Making your own chocolate bar was... More
