Choctoberfest - Toasting Marshmallows for the S'mores

Choctoberfest

(1 review)

The 2nd annual Choctoberfest (CF) took place yesterday in ChocolateTown Square on a perfect autumn…read moreday. The music from local bands was playing, beer was being poured, bites were being eaten and -most importantly- the chocolate was sweet. All of those things came together for a family-friendly fall festival. I heard about the event on Yelp and decided to check it out. I'm glad we went on such a gorgeous day. Admission was free and parking was easy at the lot across from the theater. One of the nice things about a small festival is that you don't have to walk for miles to see everything. The area for listening to the bands was a great spot for viewers; they had haystacks for seating and tall tables throughout the park for drinking and eating. The lights strung from the trees were a nice touch. However, the tents area was cramped, crowded and not where I wanted to be. I wish they had a better space to spread them out. Luckily, once people got their items, they were able to move over to park area. The lines weren't too long, thankfully. I didn't eat any of the bites, but I did try one of the beers and it was good. In the back, they also had some activities for the kids. There was a bounce house, chalk drawing, free pumpkins and bags to paint, Frisbee Toss and a few others. They also had some portable toilets along with a hand washing station, which was good for those chalky fingers! I would definitely go back next year and I bet they will continue to grow. It seemed like a well-organized event and Hershey is a nice town to visit. I'm not a fan of festivals in general but CF is my type of small-town festivals. I'll be back!

Hersheypark Stadium is... not the best concert venue I've visited. I had an amazing time seeing…read moreHozier last week, but this venue falls short in a number of ways. First off, parking is free, but not great. They have you park in a grassy area where you have to walk in the grass to the venue. The parking situation has poor flow when it comes to exiting the venue, so it took about an hour to leave. It's not well coordinated. I feel as though the venue itself also doesn't have much to offer. Lines for every food stall were crazy, and the offerings were underwhelming compared to other updated venues. It had the vibe of a carnival, rather than a venue. The vodka lemonade I ended up ordering was definitely not worth $26.... I'm used to these prices for concerts, but the drink wasn't particularly tasty or strong. We had seats in section 8, which was on the bleachers. As to be expected, the bleachers aren't very comfortable and there are no cupholders. I will say, the bleachers felt slightly more spacious than seating arrangements at other venues. From our view, the screens here looked really nice and sound quality was good. Overall though, I am never traveling two and a half hours again for a concert here again; not even for my favorite artist.

The stadium itself? Amazing. Visuals, audio, food, drink, all amazing. However. They are right…read moreabout warning people to get there early. Traffic is BAD for a sold out stadium show. There's 30,000 people leaving a place and central PA has a lot of roads, all with lights. Things get bottle necked. Expect it to take a WHILE getting in and getting out. We left at the encore so we missed the bad traffic leaving thank goodness. It took us no time leaving where it took others an hour. It's all about your priorities

We were in Hershey visiting family and wanted a fun fall activity to do with the kids. They had…read morebeen here before with their 5 and 2 year olds and said it was fun for everyone so we decided to check it out. We were all so glad we did! They had tons of fun fall activities, an enormous corn maze with fun clues and a bridge, a hay bale climbing tower, a tricycle track, hay rides, bouncy rubber horses for kids to ride on, a giant pool table with soccer balls to be kicked into the corner pockets, and lots more. They also had a lovely market where they had tons of pumpkin varieties, mums of all colors, what seemed like 100 flavors of whoopie pies, cider, and tons more. Awesome day of fun for everyone!

Risser-Marvel Farmer Market's (RMFM) Fall Fun is probably my favorite pumpkin patch ever. I had…read moreplan to go to Cherry Crest Adventure Farm but for $20 a pop, I changed my mind. When I heard about RMFM, we took a drive to check it out on this beautiful weekend before Halloween. First off, when we arrived around 1 p.m., it was pretty empty. It picked up when we finally left around 3, but it still wasn't all that crowded compared to most places I've visited before. Second, their Robin Hood Maze and Barnyard Fun Area Activities is a good value in my opinion compared to others. Prices are 3 and under--free, ages 4-12--$7.00, and 13 and up--$9.50. Here's what you get: *Robin Hood Maze with activity book--there are stations throughout the maze to keep it fun and exciting. *Hayride *Trike Track--This might have been the favorite for my boys. The Pedal Karts were close behind but they had less bikes so you had to wait your turn if it was busy. *Pedal Karts *Rubber Ducky Races *Corn Hole *Campfire--not sure what the purpose of this is but it's still cool! Might be nice on a cool day but today was 70° so... *Corn Sandbox *Bouncy thingys--I don't know what they call them but the boys had a lot of fun fooling around. I think what impressed me the most was how unique all of these activities were. Even my 14-year-old son was having so much fun and my youngest son didn't want to leave. Before we left, we did buy a couple of pumpkins and some whoopie pies at the store. They have quite a variety of items. If you're looking for a quieter, less expensive place to take your kids to for the fall next season, then RMFM is it! You can thank me later.

My friend accidentally entered the wrong venue in the Lyft app, and I'm so glad she did! We were…read moresupposed to visit the Hershey Story Museum but ended up at the Hershey Historic Museum instead--a rookie mistake due to the similar names. It turned out to be a great surprise! The staff was incredibly friendly, and there's no admission fee if you're just shopping at their local vendor market, which takes place on Sundays. We got to browse unique local goods while also learning about the town's history and how it evolved into what it is today. The museum has plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, and a really cool model train display. Definitely worth a visit!

Came here to check out the annual train display after receiving a tip from a local. Upon entering…read morethe museum, you'll find a volunteer sitting to the right of the doors. After signing in and making a suggested donation ($1/child, $2/adult, $5/family), we made our way to the train room. I was pleasantly surprised about how large the train display was. There was about 8 trains roaming around a large table that contained a mini city within the display. I loved how there were activity buttons around the table that activated trains, amusement rides, people, and other items. I learned from one of the volunteers there that individuals would start making the display in October for their opening in mid-November. It was also cool to know that these trains were all made between the 1930s and the 1960s. The museum, which was pretty small, also had several smalls rooms that displayed hockey memorabilia and dress up fun for kids. If you have a child(ren) that loves trains, or you loves trains yourself, I highly recommend checking this annual display out.
