The rest of Hershey's Chocolate World

 We loved the things that we did at Hershey's Chocolate World, but we did not do everything we could have done.

In addition to the Trolley Tour and Fall Festival of Flavors, other options included building your own candy bar, taking a chocolate tasting class, and a 4-D movie.

We know people who have done some of these and really enjoyed them. Knowing what we know now, if we had to do it over again we would have not gotten the theme park tickets, and instead done everything at Chocolate World, plus visited The Hershey Story Museum and Hershey Gardens. That is taking into consideration allocation of both time and money.

There are other things you can do at Chocolate World without a separate admission. There are photo opportunities, with a regular studio and with characters who walk around. They are in the 4-D movie, but may also look suspiciously like the candy you may buy.

There are some interactive Kiss-based games you can play.

There is a food court with a pretty good selection and reasonable prices. This is very practical, for employees as well as visitors. There is nothing within easy walking distance and the main attractions without any solid food could easily send someone into sugar shock.

But that is the best part.

All of the places on our Fall Festival tour, in addition to the samples we got, have regular product offerings. That does mean an ice cream place, and a place where you can decorate your own cookies and cupcakes, but also it means the most amazing bakery cases, with beautiful (big) cupcakes and cookies incorporating kisses, chocolate bars, and peanut butter cups. They are amazing.

Obviously, it is important to pace yourself - share different things in the group, come back on different days, whatever you have to do to maintain a reasonable level of wellness - but they have some great stuff.

Have a sweet day; they make that really easy.
