"Milton Hershey an American story!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed June 09, 2025 NEW
The entire town of Hershey is truly incredible. Take some time to learn about the man behind it all—Milton Hershey. I was never a big fan of the Hershey bar itself, but after discovering who Mr. Hershey was and how profoundly he impacted the lives of so many, I became a fan of everything Hershey. Making chocolate there was such a fun and memorable experience—not just for me, but for my preteen kids at the time, who absolutely loved it. If you plan a visit, try to go when the weather is just right—not too hot and not too cold—so you can fully enjoy everything the town has to offer. Milton Hershey’s story is a true American legacy—one we should all cherish and pass on to the next generation.

Samples and goodies during each experience. Free factory tour is cute trip to learn how Hershey chocolate is made. Unwrapped and Expedition were a little goofy but fun and great for kids. All staff we encountered were kind and helpful.

"Our May 25 vacation"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 15, 2025
A great experience, we took the 75 minute trolley and learned so much about Mr. Hershey and what a wonderful man he was. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and great personality. We also took a ride within the store depicting how candy is made. I have to use a walker, the staff were so gracious, had me sit in a wheelchair and guided me onto a special seat. A young man, Kadesh (sp?) was so helpful and funny, just made my day. Also, very courteous towards my husband. So much chocolate! Then we went over to the restaurant, The Chocolatier. Well worth the trip.
