Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - Hershey, Pa.

On another day we went to visit the Hershey factory but were very disappointed.  It was a zoo, starting from trying to get in the parking lot to the entire facility.

It’s not the actual Hershey factory at all but a place to separate visitors and their money.  Part is a huge amusement park with rides and various other things that charge individual admission.

There was one ten minute tour that showed how chocolate is taken from the bean stage and processed into one of their products. At the end of the tour you’re given a small sample of almond covered chocolate and then dropped off inside the gift shop.  It’s a Hershey chocolate lover’s paradise and we stocked up on lots of dark chocolate for the road.

Gift shop - A chocolate lover's heaven!
