Hershey Travel Guide: 106 reviews and 261 photos
Milton Hershey, the son of Mennonite parents, was a very bright, hard-working man who built a vast business empire starting with nothing. His company is America's foremost chocolate maker.
Hershey is a "company town". While that phrase may have a rather negative connotation for many people, Hershey ensured that the town provided an excellent quality of life for all of his employees. Far from being a ruthless "robber baron", he was a much-loved philanthropist.
This is a good place to go for the day, but to really take in everything you may want to stay for a weekend. Hershey has a first-rate theme park, a small museum, a nice zoo, beautiful gardens, shopping, shows, and much more.
- Pros:A chocolate-lover's dream
- Cons:Can become VERY crowded
- In a nutshell:Excellent day/weekend trip from Philly or Harrisburg
