All Things Hershey

After a week, I can safely say that the one thing you will never forget about Hershey, PA is the town's namesake. Hershey's Chocolate is everywhere!



Yes the streetlights are shaped like Hershey's Kisses.




Yes there is an intersection of Chocolate Avenue and Cocoa Avenue.



You can actually smell chocolate in the air (especially when you are right by the factory).



There is a Hershey's Chocolate Museum. (I did not go)



Sadly the "factory tour" is not at the factory at all. It is really an EPCOTesque ride with singing cows and really fake looking factory machines. At least you get a sample at the end of the ride.



Only the best theme park ride picture EVER!



Originally I assumed that we would be unable to visit Hershey Park due to our schedule and their last season schedule. What I did not realize is that Hershey Park is right in the middle of Hershey and walkable from our hotel. Since it opened at 4pm on Friday, we were able to ride just about everything we wanted to before leaving for the theatre.



I particularly enjoyed this ride.
