Fun and very informative about the life of Milton Hershey. It’s a museum that celebrates his life and legacy. This was definitely worth doing.

How can you make Hershey's Chocolate so boring?

It obverse that they've spent a TON of money on the displays. The vintage advertising was really fun to see. I enjoyed the history of Hershey's with the history of the USA parallel. But overall it was one of the most boring museums I've been through.

It's self-guided. Perhaps Chocolate guides or Coco Chaperons to help navigate this large, cumbersome and tedious museum. I took my seven-year-old and she was bored to death. How cute would a little 1900's chocolate factory (or store, with dress up things) to play in?! Building blocks of replica Hershey's. They need to higher some Hershey's imagineers!

Also the price was 18 dollars for me and my seven year old (with a coupon). Way to much for what the museum has to offer.

There is so much that could be done to make this museum amazing, sadly it really falls flat. On the comment card and here I gave it a 2 stars only because of the displays and work that has apparently gone into it. My daughter gave it a 1.

Please spare your kids the needless suffering of the Hershey's Story Museum.

A little too in depth about Hershey's personal lifeIt got a little bit old. I don't think anybody is really interested in his lunchbox from 2nd grade or a button that fell off his shirt one time (not actual items in there but I am making an example). However, everything was displayed nicely and flowed well.

The best things in there were the timeline of all the candies they have released and some of the examples of the machines/processes.

Wanted to buy something for a friend but absolutely boring stuff in gift shop - nothing special.

You would think being in Hershey PA and at the museum you would be able to buy unique candy saying you had been to the museum ? Only a huge almond chocolate bar wrapped in Hershey paper. The souvenirs were on the pricey end. We didn't have kids with us so we weren't able to create our own candy either. The history of Milton Hershey was wonderful and the artifacts were very nice. This is a free exhibit with the kids activities costing about 6.00 each.

Very cool, lots of fun and great place to take family! The chocolate tasting is awesome! You can make your own candy bar, too, if you want. Highly recommend as a place to check out of you're from out of town and visiting Hershey!

The kids were bored here. It is a lot of stopping and reading. I was bored, too. I probably won't go back. Admission is free, but there are activities that you can pay for in the building such as a flight if chocolate drinks from around the world. They have a small gift shop. The good news is that it is close to everything in the town so you won't go way out of your way to check it out for yourself. If you love history, it may be right up your alley.

We visited the museum but did not pay for the lab. It was clean, well laid out, interesting facts (we enjoyed the time line of everything that has happen while Hershey was been selling chocolate). I only knock off a star for not being particularly kid friendly. They do offer a hands on kid location but even in that area, we felt afraid to make much noise. If you really want to come and learn about the history of Hershey chocolate, we suggest leaving the kids with a sitter.

What an awesome place. Tours that explain the process of how chocolate is made. Very educational and done in a fun way. Great shops and great staff . Awesome experience. More available to do than we were able to do.

The museum is up to date & has so many different aspects. I really enjoyed getting the history behind Mr. Hershey's journey to establishing such a tremendous legacy. The Chocolate Lab looked like a lot of fun, but did not choose to do it. The chocolate tasting was a lot of fun and we learned some new things along the way.

The exhibition has a creative way to show how to chocolate back to the old time; however the missing part of the museum I feel is the story about Milton S. Hershey himself. That is why I ranked 4-star. Staff was nice and friendly. They also offered Chocolate Lab, sounds interesting but we skipped it due to my limited time there. Garage parking is free for visitors

Very beautiful, doesn't take too long to go through. You can walk it at your own pace. Read what you want. Watch what you're interested in. We did the whole thing in about 35 minutes.

Nice place to visit. If you want to buy Hershey products, they have them all. You're not getting any discount. I liked the museum better and there is a free shuttle that runs from Chocolate World to the museum. We parked at the museum and took the shuttle. It was much easier to park.

This is a very interesting museum that lays out the history of Hersey. You can easily get through the museum within an hour, if you don't do the Chocolate Lab. There is an interactive museum that great for kids where you can pretend that you're a factory worker. If you want to do any chocolate tasting you have to pay extra.

The hot coco tasting from around the world is well worth the cost. It was amazing the taste differences between them. The worker exhibit is hands on and very interesting and entertaining. My wife and I both enjoyed it as well as my 3 and 4 year old girls. Upstairs there was a scavenger hunt my kids had a lot of fun doing. You had to find different items around the museum.

If you visiting Hershey, take the time to stop in here. It is not a huge time commitment, you learn a lot about a pretty good guy who lived the American dream! It is pretty much self guided at your own pace, though there a few folks around to answer questions if you want. Don't screw aroundJust go for the museum and chocolate lab package. You get to listen to a couple fun little ladies tell you about cocao beans and you get to make your own little personal chocolate bar. Nothing fancy, but some great Americana here. Take it in. Make sure to stop in for the (drinkable) chocolate tasting before you leave. You will be impressed by the wide variation of the flavors. A great place to bring the kids or connect with your own 'inner kid' if you don't have any or yours are long gone!
