What to do and see in Hershey, United States: The Best Places and Tips
Hershey, Pennsylvania, the home of the Hershey Chocolate Company, bills itself as "The Sweetest Place on Earth," and it's hard to imagine another city giving it a run for its money. The city was built on chocolate, as were the great majority of its attractions. Hershey's Chocolate World takes sweet tooths on a virtual tour of the Hershey factory, and Hersheypark allows kids and adults alike to frolic through a vast land of rollercoasters, waterslides and walking, life-sized chocolate bars.

Besides an extraordinary collection of old and unique cars, buses and motorcycles, there are exhibits on old diners, and gas stations. There a whole section on Tucker automobiles! Staff is mostly retired gentleman who volunteer their time. Extremely informative.
For children there are lots of hands on activities and a separated room with an extreme miniature railroad setup.

Hershey Gardens are beautiful. I would recommend going in the summer to experience it and all of its beauty.
Lots of flowers and they also have a butterfly sanctuary indoors. It is gorgeous. There are butterflies everywhere.
The grounds are well spaced and cared for. I would recommend going here.

Took my husband for a surprise birthday tour on a Friday evening, where 6 of our friends met us at the Brewery. Took the 5$ tour first and it was very informative and interesting. We had several tastes along the way. Picked up a flight and something to eat, and settled in at a table to eat lamb, brisket and fries, sweet potato chips, Bahn mi. Chips were tasty but VERY salty. Everything else was good, but the brisket won hands down. Parking is limited although the new lot is large. Tasting room/food tables are large and noisy so be prepared for that.

Reviewed By Richard B - New Cumberland, Pennsylvania
We went to see the performance of "Parkside Harmony" This performance was sold out. Parking was more than ample. Hershey Theater is a must place to see quality performances. It is a First rate theater. The inside of the theater is classic. Take the time to really look (and take pictures) of the art work and architecture that surrounds you. Seats are close together but comfortable. Bathrooms are down stairs. Check out their web site for additional information on shows. Located right off the square in Hershey, Pa.

There were five children and four adults in our group. We purchased our one day discount tickets at the Giant Supermarket on Friday afternoon. This ticket allowed us to get into the park Friday night at 6:30 until closing which was perfect! There were no lines for any of the rides. Came back Saturday morning, a bit crowded, but not too bad, stayed till about 2:00pm, left for an early dinner and got back to the park around 5:00 and stayed till closing, again no lines on the rides. The park is very clean and everything seems to be well maintained.
6. The Hershey Story
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
Hershey starts here! How did Milton Hershey go from bankruptcy to brilliance, transforming chocolate from a luxury to an everyday treat? How did he invent a community? Why did he give away his fortune? That's the Hershey story. Enjoy a 45-minute, hands on class in the Chocolate Lab and sample warm drinking chocolate from around the world at Tastings. Grab a delicious treat from the Pantry Café and find a unique assortment of keepsakes and chocolate at Museum Shop.
Reviewed By DannyWasserman - Virginia Beach, Virginia
This place is spectacular and tells the rich history of Milton S. Hershey and his desire to build a chocolate factory in the little town of Hershey. The volume of jobs he created, the university, the landscape of building a small family business into an empire is rich in history and I recommend everyone to take in this museum and leave yourself at least three hours to take it all in.

Wonderful venue for all types of entertainment. Small towns the size of Hershey rarely have a venue this terrific. World class concerts and such as well as our loved Hershey Bears. Again not many small towns have AHL teams. And even more surprising we lead the league in attendance almost every year. At least since we moved here in 2008.
