Back when I was a kid, there used to be a Hershey Chocolate Factory in Oakdale, California and the…read moreair smelled like chocolate - it was amazing! Then they shut it down and now the only place to experience Hershey is at this Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey Pennsylvania - where it all began! The only bummer is that you can't visit the actual chocolate factory so you can't see the production and smell the amazing chocolate air like you used to be able to do in Oakdale. However, it was still a fun experience for adults and kids! My best tip is to BOOK IN ADVANCE! They offer tons of different activities (most you have to pay and reserve individually) and it will save you so much time if you do that ahead of time. Also, if you have a reservation, parking is free. They also have a theme park, but coming from Southern California (I'm sure you Florida residents agree) we have plenty of theme parks so I wasn't as interested in that. These are the activities in order of my favorite: 1) Create Your Own Candy Bar - this was our favorite activity where you can choose your own base (TIP: I chose a white chocolate base since all of the candy bars are covered in milk chocolate so I ended up with both kinds of chocolate) and then you can choose your own toppings, top it with sprinkles and even design your own candy bar wrapper that they print for you (and also send you a copy digitally). This was amazing! 2) The store itself (I enjoyed walking around looking at all the sweet and savory things to buy and they had so many unique gift sets and limited edition flavors 3) REESE'S Stuff Your Cup (create a GIANT customized one-pound REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup - yum!) 4) Historical Trolley (go on a tour on a trolly and see the original factory location and Hershey historical sites, from outside only though! Bummer!) 5) HERSHEY'S Unwrapped (a comedic show where you get to taste samples of chocolates - it was ok but better for kids) 6) HERSHEY'S Chocolate Tour Ride (a Disneyland type ride where you just ride around in a little car like in Spaceship Earth and see the different candy production. Our car's video kept going out so it was a bit glitchy and again, I was disappointed they didn't show more actual factory and production footage) **They also have a HERSHEY'S Great Candy Expedition - but it didn't look interesting to me it looked cheesy and more for little kids so I skipped it Overall, it was amazing and delicious to visit the Hershey Chocolate Factory - make sure if you visit to build your own candy bar!!

A Fun Evening out and about around Hershey. A large group of…read moreus booked the Yokl Food tour for a Friday night and had a great time. The trolley is spacious and has a great sound system to connect to for a rocking ride. The co-founder/president rode the trolley with us during the second half of the tour, which increased the level of fun and engagement. On our tour we visited 4 places (which were different from what we were told when we booked): The Englewood, The Mill, Jo-Jo's in Hummelstown and Cubbies Creamery. The "tastes" at the Englewood and The Mill were very small and seemed to rush us through, especially at the Englewood. Cubbies Ice cream was tasty and featured a sampling of their 3 house favorites. The star of the tour was Jo-Jo's in Hummelstown! We were enthusiastically welcomed, shown to 4 tables, each set with a whole old world pizza, garlic knots, salad, and wings!   I was thoroughly impressed and then totally blown away by the deliciousness of the old world pizza.  Overall the trolley tour was a fun way to spend an evening together and a great addition to the Hershey area.  I do think for the price, a couple of the restaurants could have stepped up their game. I do recommend the Yokl Trolley tour. The Trolley can also be rented for a build your own tour around the area, which would be a fun time!

Blue Meadow Farms has a really fun haunted hayride and maze that runs during the normal Halloween…read moretime frame. It's a great alternative to the much hyped Jason's Woods or Field of Screams, which are rather expensive. Blue Meadow Farms has just as good a hayride and I've got to say I really enjoyed the haunted maze, it was a lot of fun. Both together were like $12 or something close, definitely a fun evening. They've also got some great treats at the snack bar including some different varieties of homemade cider, I'd definitely recommend the place, I'm not sure what activities they have at the farm other than the Halloween stuff.

They did play Hocus Pocus on a big screen while waiting...and I haven't seen that in a while. And they had food, so that was good.

If you're looking for an amazing experience with absolutely scrumptious food, history told with heart, and a chance to meet some of the most welcoming people in one city, Kendra's tours are for you.

Started with some drinks while we waited for others to arrive. Solid selection of fine wines and cocktails to choose from. Picked an old fashioned with redbreast - very good. Small hiccup with a missed drink order but that was quickly handled. Very friendly and polite waitress that evening, missed her name but would recommend her again. She had noticed a few of my family members including my wife were expecting babies so she brought out a few shirts as presents for them. Appetizers were tasty , along with the salad with the house dressing already on the table. Very fresh. I chose the "homemade lasagna challenge" if finished you earn a certificate! Which I did in fact finish. It's not a giant piece , it was good , maybe make it a bit bigger/ harder ? There was a little trouble with an entree being dumped but that was quickly re-fired in the kitchen and out very fast , no trouble at all, simply an accident. Dessert was the deconstructed version of a cannoli. Lots of cannoli pieces and dip. All in all it was a great night enjoyed, solid service , we will be back again soon.

Fresh bread w butter was provided. The place is unusual in that you must purchase a lodge membership in order to be able to order alcohol. The application for lodge membership to be potentially approved takes some time. None of my friends had this membership but one of them wanted to get it in the future: I do not need drinks to enjoy my time but I am still open to them. I try to be pickier about drinks because I feel inundated from them throughout life, The choices they have tend to be very mainstream Italian and I wasn't expecting too adventurous in this more remote area (compared to Philadelphia) and this isn't a place I would typically pick on my own, but they do the food well here. I wanted to try a dessert but nothing struck my fancy AND I was too full. I unregrettably ate about half My dish and took the rest home. Staff here is very friendly.

Caprese 10/10 I got the side portion, which was three huge slices of tomato and mozzarella. The tomato was super fresh and perfectly ripe- not too hard and not too soft. The mozzarella was fresh and delicious. The amount of oil and balsamic was perfect. Even though it was a side portion, it was definitely something that could be shared between two people, if you're trying to save room for your meal! Chicken parm 8/10 Chicken was tender and juicy. The breading had a good flavor and was fried super crunchy. Pasta was cooked perfectly, my coworker just wasn't a huge fan of the flavor of the red sauce, and how overly crunch the breading was, which is why he gave it an 8. Chicken piccata 9/10 Sauce was yummy. Risotto was delicious! Stuffed shells (Tuesday special) 9/10 Shells were cooked great. The sauce had a good flavor. The cheese was also a good flavored blend and kept its shape even when you cut the shell, I just personally would have liked it to be a touch more melty and gooey. I loved all the cheese on top too! Absolutely love that the entrees come with a glass of wine and a side salad.

This restaurant has been a family favorite for years, hosting our holidays, birthdays, family…read moregatherings, company events, and private catering. Unfortunately, our last three visits have been consistently disappointing due to repeated kitchen and service issues. During our October 17 birthday celebration for 15 people, meals arrived individually rather than together, one guest received veal Parmesan instead of chicken, and guests waited nearly an hour or longer for their entrees. One steak ordered medium rare arrived severely overcooked, and the replacement took another 20-30 minutes. The drinks were equally disappointing, as our regular bartender, Steve, was on vacation and the drinks served were unacceptable. We have always requested the Florida room for our gatherings, but never exclusive use of a private room. On previous visits, other customers were routinely seated there. On October 17, the room was private simply because business was so slow that it was not needed. Unfortunately, the lack of customers that evening seemed consistent with the declining food quality and service we had experienced. When I voiced my concerns, the night manager responded in an unprofessional and condescending manner and made unfounded accusations about our behavior. Although a discount was eventually provided, it did not make up for the experience or the way we were treated. After years of loyalty and bringing countless family and business gatherings to this establishment, we will not be returning. It is disappointing to see a once-favorite restaurant decline to this point. Loyal customers and longstanding relationships should never be taken for granted.
