Hershey's Chocolate World is a magical place. I don't say that lightly.
The exterior is built to resemble the original factory.
The inside contains a lot of retail space with some great decorations and displays. There are other candies, but the theme is chocolate.
They teach you general things about chocolate as well as their manufacturing process. As it turns out, the best ride in Hershey, Pennsylvania isn't at the amusement park, and you don't even have to pay to go on it. You walk in, go through the line, and step into your car.
Because it was moving (and my camera was busy dying), I don't have great pictures, but they use a combination of film footage, actual equipment, and models to give you the sense of how the chocolates are made.
There is also animatronic livestock singing to you.
Yes, Hef, Gabby, Harmony, and Olympia sing to you about Hershey's Milk Chocolate, giving it kind of the feel of a ride at Disneyland, with one key twist. Yes, you essentially do exit into a gift shop, because the main area is kind of a gift shop, but on your way out they give you candy. And you can go as many times as you want, and they regularly rotate in new candy.
There was a lot more to see and do there, so you do spend money and it's worth it, but that anyone who wanders in can go on the ride and get candy is awesome.
We loved it.
