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.

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

How can you make Hershey's Chocolate so boring?

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.

A little too in depth about Hershey's personal life...It 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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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