I've been to Hershey's Chocolate World a couple of times, and was just there again on 7/11/08. Chocolate World is made up of a couple of different 'sections'. There is a free ride that gives you a 'tour' of a chocolate factory. You get into slow-moving vehicles already on a set track and get taken through different areas to show... more

This is a short tour ride that is free. You get to see how they make their chocolate - the ride moves through a factory-like operation that starts from where the cacao is picked and imported from, through the manufacturing process, up to the packaging and the final product. It's so much fun for the little ones too. The displays... more

I went to Chocolate World, and let me say, its the best FREE attraction I've been to. I went on the little "factory tour" and got a free sample afterwards which was nice. The one thing I didn't like was the price of the food at the restaurants. But, I did get a free cupcake! That was probably the best... more

Visited in late June 2008. Hershey Chocolate Making Tour - free - disneyesque ride through simulated chocolate factory - worth the price of admission (free) 3-D Movie - Cute enough, but skippable - nothing learned just typical "4d" effect, but if you have not seen a movie like this, the kids will like it. Trolley Ride - Thorougly enjoyed -... more

Go to this attraction because the simulated factory tour ride is free. I had my kid convinced it was the real factory because it must look pretty real to a 10 yr old. The 3D show cost money but it was enjoyable. The free factory tour, of course, drops you off in the Hershey gift shop. Your knees will buckle... more

I love the chocolate factory and have since I was a kid. It is great for a day trip or for a short tour before you enter the park! The ride is TOTALLY FREE!!! Here are some tips when going: - Go on the factory tour first! Free and though lines may look long, it goes fast and is totally... more

The free ride was pretty well done - it was Disneyesque, and they kept the line moving (we only waited a moment). They do give you a sample of the latest product at the end, and some people get asked to taste cookies as well. The 3D movie was not worth it. They have all these intros in room after... more

We arrived around 3:30pm. It wasn't busy or crowded. We were able to get around with NO problem. We did the 3D show at 4pm. Great show...the kids really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it! It really doesn't have to do much with the actual chocolate making but it is entertaining. The free chocolate simulation ride was interesting and they gave... more

Based on the reviews, including my sister's, we almost skipped Hershey's Chocolate World on a recent trip through Pennsylvania. I'm glad we didn't. We spent a very enjoyable hour there late one afternoon, we all enjoyed it, especially my 10 year old girl. The ride that explains chocolate making is cute and fun. The store has a wonderful selection of... more
