Lila Vernikoff Review of Hershey's Chocolate World
Pretty disappointed, I might have enjoyed it more ...
Pretty disappointed, I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't gone to Turkey Hill Experience first (Amazing!). Chocolate world was an overpriced tourist trap by comparison. Tons of traffic, way too much hassle/money for what you get in return. Movie was cute, trolley was fun, missed Chocolate experience because of traffic. I was allowed to reschedule but next available was 6 hours away.
Build your own candybar was disappointing. Stand in line for 15 minutes, with a hairnet and apron pretending you're actually going to come in contact with food. Then digitally choose 1 of 3 choices of chocolate (white, milk or dark), 3 of 6 items to put in (toffee bits, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, cookies bits, puffed rice or pretzels). This is all covered in milk chocolate and you can choose sprinkles on top of it. Wait in line 10 minutes. An employee scans your ticket and has you pull a lever. Now you've spent 5 minutes "making" your chocolate bar and spend 15 MORE minutes watching it get made. Design a digital label. Meh - fine for a souvenir but it wasn't very hand's on.
Won't go back. Kids agreed that Turkey Hill Experience was much better and worth returning to.
