Hershey’s Chocolate World is the largest Hershey’s Chocolate store in the world and a destination for families visiting Hershey, Pennsylvania. We would like to share some tips and what you need to know to have a sweet visit.
Hershey’s Chocolate World offers fun treats and Hershey inspired merchandise, but it also has fun and exciting entertainment options to spend your day.
Hershey Chocolate World is free to enter and visit. They offer paid experiences like the 4D show, chocolate making classes, and a bakery. The Hershey Chocolate Factory Tour is free to ride. You can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an entire day to tour. It all depends on what you would like to do during your visit
If you plan on doing all the Hershey Chocolate World attractions it will take you more time than if you stop in to explore the gift shop.
I would plan an hour to explore and ride the Hershey Factory tour. If you have reservations for attractions this will take longer. The wait times for attractions will also depend on the crowds.
