The Great World of Hershey



Myth: The whole town of Hershey smells like chocolate.

Maybe the factory does, but the only chocolate I smelled was the chocolate infused shampoo, conditioner, and lotion the hotel provided.

Picture 1: The front lawn of the Hershey Hotel says "Welcome to Hershey"

Picture 2: The basket of candy awaiting us in our hotel room. This was the coordinators thank-you basket for booking 60 seniors at their hotel. However, I'm sure they eventually regretted that once they began receiving numerous noise complaints from surrounding rooms. We were visited multiple times by the hotel staff, asking us to quiet the kids.

Picture 3: The kids waiting outside of HersheyPark. It was 50 degrees and rainy at the park that day. Most of the kids had planned for 80 degree weather and so they only had short sleeves and sandals. They eventually bought hoodies at the gift shops.

Picture 4: This is the entrance to Hershey World. Inside you can take the free tour of the Hershey bar making process. There is also a gift shop and a station where you can create your own candy bar.

Picture 5: Hershey World was really crowded! It was difficult to keep up with 60 kids in that place. We had to keep sending chaperones back in to search for the remaining kids.
