Hershey’s Chocolate World Attraction

It’s Throwback Thursday today and I want to share with yet another memorable past foodie experience.  This time, the food adventure takes place at the Hershey’s Chocolate World Attraction in none other than Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Hershey's Chocolate World Attraction

In 2010, I was on a vacation tour of the US East Coast travelling through several different states including New York, Philadelphia, Massachusetts, Washington DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.  One of the tour stops was the Hershey’s Chocolate World Attraction.  I grew up eating chocolate from the grocery store including the Hersheys’ brands so it was a real *treat* to be visiting Hershey’s Chocolate World.  I definitely had my share of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups.

Chocolate Making Tour

When you are visiting Hershey’s Chocolate World, you most certainly need to go on the free Chocolate Making Tour.  It is a basically a ride where you get to see the process in which they make and package their chocolates.  I have to say that the ride is super cheesy and happy including more than enough singing cows but it’s all good fun.  At the end, you get a free piece of chocolate.  They also take a photo of you while you are on the ride and you can purchase it at the end if you wish.  I would definitely recommend going on the tour, however it is currently undergoing renovations until later this year.

Here are a few throwback videos of the chocolate making tour circa 2009:

It is also hard to miss what seems like mountains of chocolate and endless displays of Hershey’s merchandise.  The merchandise seemed a bit expensive but not unexpected in a tourist attraction.  I was in awe of those supersized chocolate bars!
