Hershey's Chocolate World Reviews

Best amusement park I've visited, everyone has something to do.

Currently the tour is being renovated so it's not as neat as it usually is. But it's always crowded

Cool place. Easy and cheap parking. I feel like the prices for the attractions in chocolate world are too expensive though. There are a few free things to do though which are cool.

You walk through these doors and the inner child jumps for joy!

Pardon the pun, but this is a sweet place, even just the chocolate shop! Wall-to-Wall chocolate.

Want to make your own chocolate bar - no problem. Need to buy the world s largest chocolate bar - yup, you can do this here.

Take a moment, indulge your inner child and satisfy that sweet tooth! Be sure to say hello to Kiss, Reese, and Hershey!

We love Chocolate World! I love that you can visit without spending any money (just go on the ride), but we usually leave with chocolate anyway. The 4D movie is fun, especially for little kids.

Chocolate World is a great free place to check out and relax. The ride is fun and informative.

Very crowded on Saturdays, need to expand the attractions for time slots , and a tour of a real factory would be cool.

Exclusive flavors just at this location! Free factory tour!

The tour ride was fun. Had a good milkshake. Overall I think it is more of a kids place.

This was our second visit to Chocolate World. The last time was about 2007 and there were a lot of upgrades and changes. I found out they had remodeled 2 years ago. Lots to do, including a 4-D movie, the chocolate ride through which is free, places to order chocolate foods/shakes, design and make your own candy bar, picture opts, shopping for clothes and candy. If you've never been, it's well worth the time to stop and spend as little or as much time as you want. But plan to spend at least an hour here. They have different kinds of chocolate items that you won't see in stores and some specialty items, too. You can always buy your favorite Hershey's candy in bulk!!!!!

It is a fun place but it costs a lot of money for parking when they already make a lot of money from the chocolate world already, i probably wouldn't go back

There were 2 employees that are only there for the money, they don't like their jobs... wouldnt smile for anything. SAD...

The ride went digital. Like watching TV the whole time. Not enjoyable

I have a great time every time I go to Hershey chocolate world!!! The staff are always very friendly and helpful, and the lines move pretty fast.

Awesome place to go for both adults who love chocolate and basically chocolate and kids(who love chocolate anyway).
Go to have the time of your life !

Long wait. Everything is super expensive. But kids loved it

We decided to go on our way home from Hershey on our last day instead of using a day we had tickets for the park. I bought tickets the week before online for the make your own chocolate bar experience and the 4d movie. You need to allow 30 minutes for the movie and 45 minutes for the chocolate bar experience. Other reviewers said to get there early or it would get crowded so we arrived at 9am when it opened.

We did the ride first so there was no wait. They take your picture with an actual photographer so had I known that I would have had my hair and makeup done. They revamped the ride and it's still fun. It's animated and cute. This is simulated so they are showing the process but they are not making actual bars. The actual production plant stopped doing tours many years ago which is a shame. At the end they offer you a picture package which is $35.00 if you want it, which we did. They give you a free piece of chocolate when you get off the ride.

The 4d movie was awesome! However, using one size fits all glasses is a little ridiculous. My kids were upset that their glasses kept falling off. The movie is interactive and feeds off the audience. The picture is a 3d picture and the chairs vibrate and move a bit. There are bubbles that come down from the ceiling. A great experience, minus the glasses.

The make your own chocolate bar experience is great in theory but had a number of issues in reality. The machine had just been fixed when we went. The computer lost my order and that of my husband. My kids bars went into production and we had to redo ours. We missed theirs getting made and then had to wait for ours. The person scanning the tickets was unenthusiastic and had no idea how to help us. Management was apologetic and gave us all a coupon for a free cookie for all of our aggravation. While it was a nice gesture and the kids loved it, it ruined the experience for the adults. At the end, my three small kids did not want to wait another 20 minutes for our bars to be made. If there had not been issues with the machine, it would have been a great experience. However, they book too many people at a time and that is a problem too. Having a chocolate wrapper we designed, with a chocolate bar we customized, and in a nice tin was worth it.

The gift shop is great and we did buy a few things. For those who complained it is there, it is Hershey! Since it was my last stop, we planned on getting souvenirs here so we didn't buy any elsewhere. Their prices were reasonable as I am used to paying them in NY.

This is worth the trip and a must see. It is not cheap though if you are going to do the things we did besides the ride.

An amazing experience for the entire family. We come every year and it's never the same.

The experiences were amazing! The crowds...a little nerve wrecking.

Visit Chocolate World when it is not the holiday season in order to see everything it offers. During the holiday season it is very busy with lots of congestion and long lines.

This place is awesome! It has a free tour that shows how Hershey chocolates are made. I think that the 4D movie is cool and worth the price. Also you can make your own chocolates. This is one of the only places that you can get the world's largest chocolates and candy. But I think the gift shop is over priced.

It's pretty cool and lot of fun for kids. On the flip side, you might be able to buy those chocolates for cheaper somewhere outside.

Really fun place for the kids. The cookies were really nice. Long lines at the checkout for the gift shop but they moved quickly. You can even make your own chocolate.

The service and experience was amazing! All of the rides we're insanely good, as my friends and I went on them for a school trip.

It's about chocolate; what's not to like! There's a tour for the kids which is a lot of fun and tells about the history of candy and of course a HUGE store you can browse to buy any and every product Hershey ever made - at twice the price!!!

Loved MAKE YOUR OWN CANDY BAR. So much fun, and it tastes so good!

Wonderful informative free tour. The chocolate store had good selection and great discounts.

Amazing place to share with your friends and family

Free parking up to three hours. Free tour with free chocolate at the end. The tour was great too. Very enjoyable 30 mins. If you take the tour getting on and off the tram can be a bit hard as the floor is moving. It does seem to be wheel chair accessible but not to great if you have mobility issue (just ask for a wheelchair. Finally, a giant gift shop that is amazing in its self.

summary: Great to visit, horrible to work. I work here, it's loud, people suck, we can't take tips for anything, but its better than working at the park.

I remember visiting an Hershey factory in Smithsfalls Ontario in the 80s. Well, this was nothing like it. It is a huge amusement park combined with a chocolate factory tour. Kids go crazy in there but you must have guessed.

Fun ride exploring the history of Hershey, great food selection and gift store!

Great! We dod the make your own candy bar and it was AWESOME! There was just one problam... It was so crowded that there was barely any room to breath. But or else it was awesome!

It's the sweetest place on Earth!! How could you not give it 5 stars!

Fabulous! Very exciting, educational and entertaining a must for a chocolate lovers bucket list.

Awesome fun place.. liked their simulated chocolate factory tour. Be ready to stand in long queue even though you won't notice any wait times from outside.. the waiting are for the tour does have nice history of Hershey. But young kids might get tired of waiting. Queue for food is quite long as well..

If you like chocolate you will definitely like this place! It's a chocolate lover's heaven. They have a few activities that you get to do such as a mystery tasting class. Our favorite part was the make your own candy bar portion, you pick the chocolate, toppings, and then watch it being made. You also get to design your own candy bar cover which was really cool.

It's a good place to visit multiple times if you are into candies. For first time visitors, my suggestion would be to go there, do the free chocolate tour which hands down beats the paid 4d movie and chocolate tasting which is nothing but smelling and eating 3 or 4 Hershey's chocolates. Save your money and buy a bag of chocolates instead. Other than the free tour and free photo ops, you can take the make your own candy bar which is a lot of fun. It also pays for your parking so there's that. The package deal may sound attractive but the trolley, chocolate tasting and 4d are a bunch of time wasters but if you are planning to spend more than half a day here go for it to kill time

The kids always enjoy it. Ride the free chocolate ride where they show you how the chocolate is made and get a free piece of chocolate. Then buy hundreds of lbs of chocolate in the store.

So fun! Take the tour and eat at the cafe while you're oogling over all the chocolate!

It was a great place to visit there's more stuff now to do then there ever was the parking is outrageous and I'm talking about the price

I used to love the free ride before they remodeled and removed the history aspect from the queue. Now there's a photo stop before riding it to try and suck more money from families. The ride is still fun.

Awesome place..free tour.Also make your own candy bar and other fun things.They have a food court,plus a milk shake and smores bar.Also anything Hersheys or reeses u can think of to buy.

I love taking my kids here to Chocolate World when we have to see the doctors at Hershey. The tour is free so you don't have to spend an arm and a leg and everybody's very friendly.

This is the sweetest place on earth! And they have the tastiest sweets too!

Hershey heaven! So many fascinating and unique items. I had fun just wandering around. The chocolate tour ride is enjoyable and educational.

Nothing but goodness to say about this place. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!! Love it.

Fun place to visit if you only have a few hours in town and don t want to buy full park tickets

On line tickets have nothing on them about with out separate entrance to explain what bought on didn't. BIG change for me was there is now beer for sale..whole different people and not as good for young kids..I doubt I will return

Had a good time, but guest are ignoring social distancing stickers.

Very nice place seemed really busy but I suppose that is to be expected.

Good place to hang out with friends and family.my kids loved it. 4d movie was okay, kids were excited to design their own name chocolate. Museum tour is free n my kids and mom both enjoyed it.
If you are cavities concern parents you will have to control hard to keep away your little ones from these chocolate.
Summer break is good time to go.

Place is awesome for family of all ages.
Food is affordable or slightly higher compared to fast foods.
Parking is free.
Chocolate tour is free.
Highly recommended.
Chocokate prices is same as in the mall,i guess.
However, there are items that you can only buy there.

Love to ride the free ride and see what exclusives they have in the shop. Attractions are pricey, but worth it for the experience if it's in your budget.

Amazing place for all ages!! The staff is amazing and the place is clean and good price on food and souvenirs. Can't wait to go back!

For adults the Chocolate tour is the most fun and it is free. The chocolate tasting was interesting.

I liked the chocolate tour and how chocolate was made I tasted the Hershey's chocolate bars

So much fun! Make sure to go on tours. One is even free!!

Even with all the caronavirus they run very smoothly and respect everyone

Is just a big souvenirs store. Entrance tickets are free but if you want to do the other fun cool activities, you have to buy other extra ticket (not cheap at all) and with a day or maybe days previously. In my case, the days i visit the park and I asked an employee outside the building, he just mentioned the entrance ticket but not the rest. Also something sad, it was my bday and well, i really was expecting something special or at least with any candy but nothing of that happend. Too sad, the high expections i had from the outside didn't match with what i experienced from the inside the store. Prob will never go back

For chocoholics, a visit to Hershey Chocolate World is a must!

As well as the tram tour, the Chocolate world has a factory 'tour' ride and the largest amount of chocolate merchandise you have ever seen. And of course they have a LOT of chocolate for sale. Every kind you could ever imagine, and some special pricing on bulk items.

We also ate at the restaurant here which was surprisingly good value and tasty.

Great place to visit. Even if you've visited before, it's always changing and fun
