A tour of this museum was included in our Hotel Hershey reservation. Once we found it, we enjoyed our visit. The museum is a little difficult to find and road signs don’t seem to be very adequate. It is located on West Chocolate Ave. in town with a large free parking lot next door. This museum covers the history of Milton Hershey and his businesses as well as the park and all associated activities, the school, and the town itself. The museum is on the second floor. Since we had a voucher, we were told to turn it in at the first-floor visitors desk. Once that was done, our tour started on the second floor. It was a very good and informative experience with many interactive displays. Back on the first floor we saw another exhibit on Hershey’s business in Cuba before the revolution. Also on the first floor is Lisa’s Café on Chocolate. Very easy to access and no need to leave the building.

The Milton Hershey story and vision for Hershey, PA. See the story of how Milton moved from making caramel to chocolate. See the way they wrapped hershey kisses. Milton Hershey established the school for underprivileged children and donated his fortune to the school and children since he had no children of his own. They have a scavenger hunt for children and many interactive displays

The building is absolutely beautiful. I felt the chocolate flights were with the money but the Chocolate Lab, not so much at all. The history and stories offered are great. It set the tone for the rest of our trip so I'm glad we went on our first day.

To be honest this was the bottom on my list of things to do while in Hershey. I am so very glad we did! It was great! All staff members were polite and made us feel welcome and were very knowledgeable. Evan in the Chocolate Lab made the experience great. The museum was very interesting and interactive. I learned many things about Milton Hershey.

My 7yr and 13yr old boys and husband & I loved the museum! Very interesting for all of us. We received tickets for free with our stay at Hershey Lodge. I would have been ok having paid full price though- it was that informational and engaging- even for the 7-year-old! Definitely ask for the scavenger hunt paper if they don't give it to you for the kids. The volunteers were helpful and engaging. The artifacts were engaging. If you are a child of the 70's or 80's, go see the special exhibition on the 1st floor- it features a lot of the advertising from our childhood! We paid for 1 full flight of the chocolate sipping chocolates for our family of 4 to share and that was a blast! It's self-paced and I read each description while we each took a sip tasting the chocolate. Even the ones that were too dark or bitter for the kids were fun to try! We spent almost 3 hours there. It was very enjoyable.

Great muleseum that talks about the history of Milton Hershey. His fatjwrs failures as well as his own and the ability to keep trying. It is not just about his story, bur how he developed the town and encouraged home ownership. Then getting g a Med School built as well as his opening of the trade school in town that has evolved into an outstanding boarding school for under privileged kids.
