"Overpriced okay experience"

Reviewed September 23, 2025 NEW

My husband and I went to Chocolate World today. We purchased one of the bundles, which they push really hard. It was okay overall, although I feel it's really overpriced. Shocker, right? I thought the Great Candy Expedition and Make your own chocolate bar were worth paying for, but the other events I could have done without. Unwrapped was kinda cool, although short. I didn't really care for the trolley ride. You can't get off anywhere for pictures, it's basically just listening to history while riding around town. My husband did the fill your own Reeses PB cup thing, which I thought was just gross. It's far too large, and I really don't think we need to be promoting stuffing our faces with that much junk. They could do the same experience with a PB cup a quarter of the size and it would probably draw more sales because it would be more affordable. The free tour is worth doing as well. We included a meal deal with our bundle. Don't bother. The deal actually cost us a couple dollars more than if we just bought the food without the bundle. The food was pretty good, though. Honestly, the build your entree meals are large. One could feed two people easily. There was quite a lot of lag time between some of the events which I did not like. I suppose they figure you'll buy stuff while you're waiting. I will say you end up with a fair bit of "free" candy by the end. But the two of us spent almost $200 for the bundles, which was high, in my opinion. Would cost a family a pretty penny, and there are better things to do out there.

"Bittersweet Chocolate"

Reviewed September 21, 2025 NEW

It looks cool inside and outside, and I knew going in it was basically a big candy store but it still didn't live up to my expectations. The free attraction on how they make chocolate is subpar and if there is more than a five minute wait is not worth the wait. There were a couple of shows you can see, but they are not free. Seeing all the different types of candy is cool, but beware the parking. The first two hours are free, but after that it is $60.

"Great Hershey experience"

Reviewed September 19, 2025 NEW

Hershey’s Chocolate World is a great place to start to experience the Hershey legacy. This place is not Hersheypark or the factory. It is an introduction into the world of Hershey which is fantastic for those that are not familiar with Hershey. There is free parking on site but don’t be intimidated by the amount of cars that are in the parking lot because the parking lot is shared with Hersheypark which is the amusement park. Hershey’s chocolate world entrance is free. There is a free ride inside of the building that is very mild movement like a little train cars. And it takes you through the process of how Hershey makes chocolate. It is geared towards children, although adults enjoy it as well at the end of the ride you get a free, fun sized Hershey bar or product. To access the ride it is a long walk through ramps and levels. And it is wheelchair accessible. After taking the ride, enjoy walking through the Hershey store and gift shop, which is expansive. It also opens up into a very large food court area where you can get all kinds of food and deserts and actually beer as well which I didn’t expect. Also, in the Hershey chocolate world, you can purchase tickets to go on the Hershey trolley tour which boards outside of the building and takes you through the actual town of Hershey giving you information about the history of Milton Hershey and the town. It’s a 75 minute tour and costumed docent are on your trolley tour recounting the information. You can also buy a ticket for the various experiences inside of Hershey’s chocolate world. They have an immersive theater, which runs two different programs, one which also gives you chocolate samples. They are geared for children, although adults can enjoy the experience as well. There are other experience activities, such as making your own candy bar and filling up a giant Reese’s peanut butter cup that you could purchase tickets for as well and you could do combination tickets if you want to do a few activities. It’s a little pricey, but as a first time visitor, it might be a nice experience. if you’re looking for the actual history of Milton Hershey and the Hershey area that he built, you’ll need to go to the Hershey museum, which is in downtown Hershey proper. That’s another attraction. Overall, Hershey’s chocolate world is a great experience for first time, visitors and repeat visitors, like me!

"VERY geared toward children. NOT the actual factory"

Reviewed September 14, 2025 NEW

NOTE: This experience is VERY geared toward children and it is NOT a tour of the Hershey factory. We were very disappointed that there was very little information on the history of Hershey. I guess we should have gone to the museum but that was very unclear. If you are going with only adults don’t bother.

"a must see for Hershey chocolate lovers"

Reviewed September 11, 2025 NEW

Stopped here on our drive to Lancaster. If you like all things about Hershey chocolate, this is the place to see! We went on the free chocolate tour inside the main building. Of course we also bought lots of chocolate candy!
