    Absolutely the best car museum we have ever been to!All the vehicle displays were awesome with a great variety of cars. The added bonus was the train display and the gentlemen who volunteered were a wealth of information. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

    Went late in the afternoon. Was worried because we got there about 2 1/2 hours before it closed but an hour to an hour and a half is the perfect amount of time for this place. The Butterfly area is neat, the other areas are small but the outside highlight is mums section which is nice.

    We spent 2 hours in the museum and learned a lot. The information made us want to explore the town and learn more.

    Went for 2 days with 7 people ranging from the age of 4 to 50 and I would say that everyone had a great time. There is a good variety of kiddie rides, a handful of shows but my favorite which are the roller coaster are awesome. There is a small zoo that’s included with your ticket and there are water rides but they only open on summer. There are various candy characters around the park for photo opportunities. Plenty of places to eat so you can choose and it’s your typical amusement park food. I want to say that one day could be enough to visit but that really depends on the crowds

    Place is very nice. When I went there I wanted to stop before going to0 Hershey Park and pulled in for parking. The guy noticed I had a parking pass for the actual park and wouldn't let me park at Chocolate world. I explained I have a handicap and wanted to do Chocolate World before the park. That made no difference and he told me I had to park at Hershey Park in their lot and walk. Very off-putting! I left and went to Hershey Park first. When I left the park I explained my situation to one of the people there and they said no problem. You can park at Chocolate World, they have handicap spaces. I did just that with no problems around 6:45PM. I'm still upset at the parking lot person for refusing to let me park with the others. The place is huge and I mostly went for the free ride showing how the actual factory makes their candy. It is very informative and the line is very deceptive. What I thought was a short line turned into going up a staircase, through many cattle gates, down a hall through many more cattle gates and finally on the ride itself. Plan on long lines. I walked through the huge store and there was a lot of merchandise, unfortunately what I was looking for. Just about every type and size of candy Hershey's makes, EXCEPT I DIDN'T SEE ANY SUGAR FREE SECTION! I know they make sugar free candy and chocolates. There is one area to check out and the line was huge. I didn't see anything that I couldn't get at the grocery store cheaper as far as their candy and I didn't need any souvenir mugs or shirts, so I left without making a purchase. Don't get me wrong, it was a great place to go and look around but I just didn't need to stock up on candy I can't eat. If going to the park, don't miss chocolate world. You might tend to go early to maybe avoid crowds, but then you take a chance on any candy you buy melting in a hot car in summer if you don't have a cooler to keep it in.

    Everything about this venue soothes the soul.

    We drive 2 hours to attend a concert at this location.

    The ushers, ticket booth and any personnel here cater and offer great service.

    The interior is breathtaking and well maintained!

    Love it here!

    I took my dad there for a reminder tour of when he and his brother (who graduated from Hershey Industrial School for Boys) and saw the picture of my uncle in the registry at Founders Hall. Very happy I took my dad back there before he died!! I enjoyed seeing the Founders Hall as well as my dad did. It brought back many memorized for him for good and bad. My uncle is deceased but my dad was glad to see his brother's picture and remember old times there.

    When the kids (or you!) are getting tired of the rides and attractions of Hershey Park this is a great place to visit for a change of scenery and pace. The animal exhibits are expertly maintained and it is very easy to get around. All you need is about 2 hours to see the entire zoo.

    I highly recommend getting the zoo add-on tickets if you're visiting Hershey Park with your kids!

    We visited the arena for a Hershey Bears hockey game. The arena is huge and even though we were in section 202, near the top, the view of the ice was great. Plenty of concession options, and a large concourse to walk around. Club level areas looked very nice. Only complaint was the parking process. Hard to make a left turn into to parking lot, then had to drive around the complex to park. The parking lot is shared by Hershey Park, so you have to make sure you are in the correct lane. Parking also was $15 for the game, which isn’t horrible. It was a fun night, and would recommend this arena for hockey or other events!

    We stopped here in our way out of town. We spent an hour here. There was a lot of cool things to look at. The employees here were the most attentive that I've encountered at such a store. When we found something, they would keep it at the register for us. They were very helpful. We brought home several items. I would recommend this stoyto any of e who likes a good flea market.

    Small but wanted to see the exhibit on Major Dick Winters made famous by the HBO series Band of Brothers. They reproduced his office in corner of museum. Learned more about the man. Price only $5.00 per person

    Fun park that has a little of something for everyone. We did the bumper boats, go carts, laser tag and arcade. Definitely buy a package rather than pay ala carte as you will spend a lot of money paying by activity.

    This is a cozy and comfortable medium-sized playhouse that features great local talent and entertaining plays. There is not a bad seat in the theatre and you are seated very close to the performance area. The cost for a show is typically around $20 per seat.

    This is your standard Tanger Outlet center that you are familiar with. There were not a lot of empty store fronts. Plenty of stores to fill the morning, afternoon or all day. Old Navy has a new patriotic T-Shirt design every year that was only $5 at this store on Memorial Day weekend.
