If you crave chocolate and you crave adventure….why not put the two together and create one big chocolate vacation! Hershey, Pennsylvania is a chocolate paradise, not to mention it is a place full of great adventures just waiting to happen!
Milton S. Hershey dreamed of building a town in which his factory employees could live and be part of a tight-knit community. Well that dream was realized and today, Hershey, Pennsylvania is one of the largest tourist attractions in the United States.
There are MANY things to do and see in the town of Hershey. It would take forever to list them all…so let’s keep it simple and stick to one of my favorite things: CHOCOLATE!!!!
Hershey’s Chocolate World is an interactive chocolate experience designed for the entire family! Here you will learn how chocolate is made, take a tour of the chocolate factory, watch a huge, 3-D chocolate show and of course, shop for anything and everything chocolate!
If relaxing is what you had in mind then why not visit the Chocolate Spa! The Chocolate Spa is located inside the Hershey Hotel and offers such treatments as the luxurious whipped cocoa bath, chocolate sugar scrub, and my favorite, the chocolate fondue wrap. While all of these treatments sound yummy….oops, I mean relaxing….don’t forget your wallet! Individual treatments will set you back $60 to $125 depending on what you choose.
If roller coasters are more your speed then you MUST visit Hershey Park! Hershey Park opened its doors for the first time in April of 1907 and has been expanding ever since. Fair warning, if you eat too many Kit Kat Bars and then take a ride on the Sidewinder, you may need to change your clothes afterward (not a good idea for the old tummy!).
As mentioned in our post on Hot Air Ballooning, Hershey Park also hosts the Hershey Park Balloonfest. It’s scheduled for October 22nd through the 24th this year and is a site to behold. Check out one of the traveling vendors for impressive memorabilia and model balloons.
Hershey, Pennsylvania is a place where chocolate dreams come true and a new adventure awaits you around every corner. Whether you love golf, amusement park rides, or simply relaxing by the pool….Hershey offers something for everyone! Oh…and I’ll let you in on a little secret…you don’t even have to like chocolate to have a great time!
