Great Place to Start Your Visit in Herhsey
My adult niece and I visited Hershey, PA in June and we would recommend starting your time in Hershey with this museum. Nicely laid out and tells the story of Milton Hershey and his legacy. Make sure to pay the extra money to do the chocolate tasting! What fun that was (and delicious). We also took advantage of making our own chocolate bar. Well worth the price of the ticket!

What a Gem
While in Hershey, we spent one morning at the Hershey Story Museum. What a gem. The museum does an incredible job of telling the story of this incredible man with a giving heart. The museum is a bit interactive, and has some wonderful timelines that help tell the story of what was happening in the country while Milton Hershey was building his business. There is also an exhibit downstairs after you finish the main museum upstairs that tells the story of Milton Hershey establishing the sugar cane business in Cuba and how he really helped the people of Cuba too. We had no idea of his history and were very impressed with the man and museum. The small gift shop also has some Hershey themed items that Chocolate World does not. Well worth the visit.
