Hershey's Chocolate World on a rainy Good Friday 2019

We pre-ordered online the Adventure 1 package & meal add-on for our family before arriving at the Hershey's Chocolate World. The Adventure 1 package includes four activities:

1. Trolley bus tour describing the history around the Hershey town. Our tour guy was very knowledgeable and provided us samples of different chocolate products including a large full size milk chocolate bar at the end of the tour.

2. Customizing your own chocolate bar which allows you to choose from four base chocolate bar with options to add chocolate chips, rice crisps or 3 other ingredients. Then you can create your own front cover with name, year, graphics etc. The tin package that house the chocolate bar is a nice touch.

3. Chocolate testing experience offers you an opportunity to sample four (4) types of chocolate including dark chocolate with higher cocoa content to milk chocolate. The session teaches you how to use your different senses (taste, look, listen and smell) for experiencing and appreciating chocolate.

4. 4D movie is a mystery solving action that includes breeze and water sprinkle during the movie. It wasn't that interesting and can be skipped.

When you purchase the ticket online, you will be asked to select the timeslot for each activity. For example our trolley bus ride time slot was 12:45 pm to 2 pm. This means you are supposed to be on the 12:45 pm bus. I didn't know that...so we ended up being on standby for the 1:30 pm ride.

The $10 meal add-on is an excellent idea. You will get a selection of hot entree, pizza or sandwich plus a drink. If you buy those items separately, it would cost you more than $15.

Also, the Adventure1 includes the parking fee which would be upto $40/day if you park the whole day.
