Located in Hershey, PA, Hershey’s Chocolate World is a chocolate-filled experience for students of all ages. It started as a behind-the-scenes tour of the original Hershey Chocolate Factory and has since become an educational experience with attractions, shopping opportunities, dining facilities, shows, and even a chance to create your own candy bar.
If you’re planning a field trip for groups of 20 or more, Hershey’s Chocolate World offers exclusive ticket bundles, meal deals, and treat vouchers. Submit the Group Request Form at least 3 weeks in advance so the park can accommodate your group. Hershey’s Chocolate World also offers a designated canopy drop-off area for the group, and complimentary off-site bus parking. Groups arriving in personal vehicles will follow the same parking procedures and fees as individual guests.
Hershey’s Chocolate World includes free admission to Hershey’s Chocolate Tour, no ticket required. Tours run continuously during operating hours, and we recommend riding during the first or last 2 hours of the day. The tour takes about 30 minutes and gives students an educational opportunity to learn about the history of Hershey’s Chocolate. Hershey Trolley Works is also available with a ticket for kids ages 3 and up, and free for kids 2 and under. Offered year-round, you’ll take a ride through Hershey, learn about its history, enjoy a chocolate tasting, and sightsee famous historical sites like Milton Hershey’s birthplace and the original Hershey’s Chocolate Factory. Hershey’s Great Candy Expedition and Hershey’s Unwrapped are interactive shows for all ages, offering an entertaining, educational way to learn more about Hershey’s. For personalized candy creation, you can choose to create your own candy bar with your own ingredients and design a custom wrapper. You can also partake in Reese’s Stuff Your Cup, where tasteologists will mix your choice of mix-ins with Reese’s peanut butter and assemble it in a chocolate shell.
