hwileyiii Review of Hershey's Chocolate World
I'm quite sad to give Chocolate World only 2 stars...
I'm quite sad to give Chocolate World only 2 stars. However, I'm quite certain Milton Hershey would share my dismay at what Chocolate World has become versus the original factory tours. I took one of the last of those tours with my father when I was young, remember the original Chocolate World, have been to Hershey as a son, father and LEO so many times I know it as well as my hometown, and have seen Chocolate World morph into what it is today.
Today it's a giant money crunching way for parents to be separated from their money for candy and novelties. Little attention is even paid to the "chocolate making tour." I don't think it's been updated much from its opening in 1973. Instead, parents part with hard earned money in what is a giant store and snack bar. Nothing is free and most can be pretty expensive for the average family of four.
I don't think Mr. Hershey would have supported it and I can't either
