If you are a chocolate fan, there is no greater place in the world than Hershey Park.
Think of an amusement park - add chocolate and unique experiences - and you'll have Hershey Park, Pennsylvania.
I traveled here for a conference and enjoyed all of the lodging, history, and local sites.
They also have a museum and amusement park rides. But, I want to share about the chocolate world experience.
The space has a few different pieces: a store, a history ride, and some custom chocolate opportunities.
For example, one of the first stations I visited was a mega Reese cup that you could customize.
You start with a large, ridged chocolate cup. Then, you have a peanut butter face that can have all sorts of mix-ins.
I added M&Ms, pretzels, and marshmallows. This was all packaged up into the biggest Reese cup I've ever seen and, it was fun to know that I kind of had a hand in creating it.
Moving onto the next station: Custom chocolate bar.
You get to choose the filling, topping, and even the package design.
I added butterscotch chips to my chocolate bar and added sprinkles to the top.
And for the packaging, I was sure to add my name, because it's rare that I get to find it out in the wild.
There are some fun skits, like one where you learn how to taste the differences in chocolate.
I also really enjoyed the little ride through the building for you learned about the history of Hershey.
And, of course, there is shopping. A lot of shopping.
There is everything from specialty limited edition sweets to wearable merch.
I picked up some Hershey Kisses that were influenced by global flavors.
I also made my own custom mix of M&Ms.
They had these giant canisters with every single flavor you can think of.
If chocolate, isn't your thing, Hershey does also own Twizzlers & Jolly Ranchers.
This was a really fun experience.
I think they have some thing for everyone.
Have you ever been?
