"Plan to spend the whole day!"

Reviewed April 11, 2025 NEW

This place is full of fun, sweets, and surprises! Even if you only do the free tour ride, it’s worth it! The ride felt like Disney, fun and informative. So much fun variety in the humongous gift shop. So many engaging and hand-on experiences available, plan to spend the day. Great for all ages!

"Expensive Fun"

Reviewed April 10, 2025 NEW

This was our second time at Hersheys Chocolate World. We did Hersheys Unwrapped and the *Free* Chocolate tour ride. The ride is a lot of fun- the kids oohed and Ahhed through the whole thing. All the other experiences are very expensive for a family. They do offer military discounts which we used, but it’s still too much to do all the activities. We picked Unwrapped which is a half hour long activity (about $100) for our family of 5. The actors are great and you get a bit of candy to eat. The show is fun and exciting- just wish it was a little longer or that it was cheaper to do another activity. Husband didn’t want to spend another $100 for a half hour experience so we left after looking at all the things we couldn’t afford in the gift shop.

"largest candy store i've ever been in. so fun!!"

Reviewed March 25, 2025 NEW

largest candy store i've ever been in !! was so much fun. the "chocolate tour" is interesting and FREE. the trolley tour was quite good - and gave samples !!. i would not pay for the two "experiences" we did: "great candy expedition" and "hershey's unwrapped." other than the little candy samples at the end, i thought those experiences were lame. i think the "make your own candy bar" would be fun and i'm sorry i didn't choose that activity. the store is amazing - candy galore especially new flavors/products plus your old favorites. and not just candy, all kinds of merc of your favorite candy like hats, socks, mugs, etc. very fun. in addition to the chocolate candy, there's also tweezlers and jolly rancher. i heard the restaurant just outside chocolate world is excellent.
