Very nice amusement park . Overall pretty clean, employees were all friendly. The lines can get pretty long for rides as well so do some research before going. Best rides there imo are wild cats revenge, candymonium and sky rush. The Halloween haunt here was really well done overall and there were overall plenty of scare actors.

Fun place!! Free Hershey ride through the hersey manufacturing process(totally staged and animated but interesting) so much candy!! A dessert area, fill your own Reeses Cup! Build your own candy bar and follow the whole process. There are plenty of food vendors there too all themed fir Hershey, chocolate and some savory selections too. You could easily spend hours there!
I have been to Hershey Park last Saturday and I loved it. The park was neat and clean, beautifully decorated for Halloween including a „scare zone“ at night time. Coasters were great! Especially enjoyed Wildcat‘s Revenge, Skyrush and Storm Runner. Will definitely come back!
It's a good park. I've been to many parks in the US and also in European countries. I can say that the price is a little high given the quality of the park. Overall, you can visit a couple of times. I can tell you that it’s better to buy express tickets if you go on weekends, because the waiting time is on average at least 35 minutes.
A fun experience! If you like roller coasters, you will love the park! The factory simulation was cute and informative. The stores have anything you can possibly wish for in Hershey swag and candy specific treats and merchandise.
This was my first trip to Hershey Park. Honestly had little expectations. However I was very impressed with several things:
1. Lots of shade trees around the common walking paths
2. Many ways to get from one place to another.
3. The amount of lifeguards am was a plus
4. The amount of restaurants was amazing
5. Ride selection for both young, teen and adults was perfect.
6. Rides look like they are in perfect order. Actually surpassing Disney in some ways.
7. New rides being added all the time.
8. Making great use of their entire space.
My only complaints:
1. Monorail was down
2. Some areas had signs to get from place to place other intersections had none. (Made getting around difficult for first timers)
3. Exit out of main parking lot was confusing. We only saw one main exit sign and stumbled on it after driving around.
Will come again. We live 10 hours away.
Buy tickets online for deals.
We really had an excellent experience.. my grandson was able to get on a number of kids rides right away with no waiting. I highly suggest the one day meal plan. We were able to get burgers, fries and a large Coke each. Save chocolate world for the end when you're leaving so you can hit the air conditioning before you go and there are plenty of good deals in the checkout laying on the way out. Special shout outs to the attendant on the swing thing who was so engaging in sweet to the young kids really went out of his way to make that right. A great experience
Hershey Stadium is a fantastic venue with great sightlines and an awesome atmosphere for concerts and events. The sound quality is excellent, and the staff overall is friendly and helpful, which makes for a memorable experience. My only drawback was the flow in and out of the courtyard area—it tends to get congested when you’re grabbing food or drinks and then trying to make your way back to your seats. On top of that, the constant verifying and re-verifying of tickets to re-enter the seating area felt a little excessive and slowed things down. That said, once you’re settled in your seat, the experience is top-notch, and I’d definitely come back for another show.

Hershey's Chocolate Tour

Amusement park ride
Hershey's Chocolate Tour at Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey, PA is a delightful attraction that offers a sensory chocolate adventure for visitors of all ages. It provides an immersive experience where the enchanting world of chocolate comes to life, creating enduring sweet memories. Visitors can explore how chocolate is made, sample signature sweets, and even create their own candy bar.
We recently visited Hershey’s Chocolate Factory with three friends’ families and had a wonderful experience. We made an advanced booking, which made everything smooth and hassle-free. The entire visit was fun and informative, especially for the kids. We stayed for a day and thoroughly enjoyed the attractions, the chocolate-making experience, and the overall family-friendly atmosphere. A great spot for a day trip with family and friends!

A definite must when visiting Hershey's Chocolate World. Was the first time since 2011 when I last visited and my wife & kids' first time here this past July.
My family & I really loved the tour which was delightful and informative. Coming from the Chicago area, we were visiting my dad's side of the family in the Tamaqua area and obviously Hershey's was automatically on our priority list.
While vacationing in Eastern PA, we had already gone to an amusement park a couple of days earlier so my wife mentioned that the kids already got their fill of an amusement park so wandering around the candy shop and the free tour would suffice.
Place is amazing and if we ever we come back to visit the area, you know we'll hit up this place again; excellent family fun!
Visited late after the Hershey Car Show and was able to take the tour again all by ourselves as we were the last ride of the day. After first riding in one of these cars decades ago it still something to be enjoyed. Updated but still retaining all the initial charm. Staff were very friendly. Yes, we bought the photo!
Super fun! We did the create your own candy bar and free ride tour. Super cute, loved the time tickets it made the process seamless. Parking was easy but I recommend going early.
Came here a bunch with the fam as a kid. We still come here at least 5 times a year. I must have been through the tour about 150 times lol. The only downside is that they used to have liquid in the mixing tanks and flowing down pipes and stuff so it made it interesting. Now it’s all stupid animated and tv screens and stuff. The mixers r all digital and it looks kinda dumb. Bring back the original version please. Good tour though it’s informative for kids and stuff. It’s good for a few times then it gets boring. They also used to give out chocolate bars but mini ones. Not anymore.
We turned into kids again. What a fun place. Only got a small amount compared to some, but it is yummy!
I finally made it to where I wanted to be!!.3-18-25...didn't want the amusement park or anything others have done I just wanted all the chocolate Candy!! Lol...My Loove took me to Hershey!! I was so hype! & the happiest!!. This store had Every Chocolate Hershey Brand could make and then exclusive stuff!! like strawberries & creme Hershey's candy bar, PB&J Reese Cup with both kinds!! Strawberry and Grape jelly inside!(definitely grabbed them!). I was like a kid I even got excited because the light fixtures outside the building were made into Hershey's kisses!.. they had a create your own bag!, the Harry Potter New Butterbeer Kisses/Popcorn & graham crackers, Mocha, Chocolate truffle and Hazelnut exclusive Hershey kisses. We went on a walking tour then the Chocolate Tour inside with a roller coaster type ride and animatronics in all three hersheys candies and some farm cows!. Cupcake was scary! & looked crazy!. Matt Customer Service went above & beyond, he was Very helpful every step of the way from helping me along with my love downstairs and to ride because under my feet it moved in a circle so you had to be careful your foot didn't slip!. and after the ride to help me off safely so I can't thank him enough for saving my life! Lol... We went on the ride it was cool and a little traumatic lol cause everything moved! and talked ( past childhood Chuck E. Cheese trauma). Overall I loved that they had so much different candies, a theatre you could watch , a candy making station at the Reese's station. They had an actual chocolate making & tasting you could do next to the entrance when you walked it!, definitely a tourist attraction spot for sure!!!!.. I'd return and I am so I can participate in everything and have more fun and time!!. I'm coming back very soon!!.. I got a few exclusive candy items!! & got my sister some too!! Hopefully next time I'll see the mascots!!!
Always a fun place. You can buy tickets for the events online and they have a way to schedule it so that it's all planned out so that you don't miss any events. And they're all in the same building. The gift shop is massively expensive and there's sweet treats everywhere. Definitely kid-friendly but fin for the adults too! We showed up right at the event time and it was fine, we didn't have to show up early or anything. Really impressed with how smooth the process was!

Hershey's Chocolate World is a multifaceted experiential attraction offering chocolate tour rides, tastings, theater shows, and more. Visitors can witness pastry chefs competing overnight to create forest-themed chocolate masterpieces and enjoy thrilling roller coaster rides. The attraction also features a renowned Danish chocolatier facing challenges, a Colombian cake artist working with delicate Jolly Rancher isomalt, and a mom showcasing her character design skills through chocolate tree sculpting.
Best park ever! We've spent 3 days from opening time to closing time. It was amazing. Staff is friendly, corteous and efficient. Park is very clean, safe and well maintained. Lots of options for eating, buying souvenir s, etc. We had a wonderful time there.
Laressa H — Google review
We had a good time. We had my 2yr old and 5 yr old with is and didn't want to do the whole Hershey Park thing with them that young. This proved to be a good substitute. We purchased the Unwrapped and Build Your Own Candy Bar experiences. It was a fun experience to build your candy bag, choose ingredients, design your wrapper, and watch it go down the belt and be built in front of your eyes. My girls loved it. I only give it 4 stars because while it was a good experience, it wasn't amazing. No core memories being developed here. But still good fun.
Fun experience, definitely good for little kids. We got here early and we didn't have to wait for anything.
Lots of parking and adequate handicap parking. Buildings are very wheelchair and walker friendly. The staff were wonderful in accommodating our party that had one person in a wheelchair.
Everyone was very friendly. Seemed to be enjoying their jobs and plenty of staff to handle the crowds and registers.
LOTS of different candy. Some things I didn't know existed. Much better prices than you can get in a retail store.
We enjoy the activities though some are definitely for kids. The male your own candy bar was enjoyed by all
The parking fee was $60 but because we had bought a bundle package of things to do they waved the parking fee.
Had a fantastic time at Hershey’s Chocolate World! It’s such a fun spot for families, couples, or anyone with a sweet tooth. The free chocolate tour ride is a must — it’s surprisingly well done with music, moving cows, and the smell of cocoa filling the air. You even get a sample at the end, which is always a win. The gift shop is massive, packed with every kind of Hershey treat you can imagine, from giant chocolate bars to themed souvenirs. Definitely plan to check out the make-your-own candy bar experience if you have time — it’s a little pricey but worth it for the fun and customization. The 4D movie and tasting experience are great options too if you want to make a full afternoon out of it. Parking is easy, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere just feels happy and nostalgic. Perfect stop whether you’re visiting Hersheypark or just in town for the day.
Traveling back from northern New Hampshire to Georgia, and my wife said she wanted to check out Hershey, PA. Spent a few hours at Hershey Chocolate World. What a really cool place. We even booked the trolley tour around town. The history of Milton Hershey and all he did for the town and community is incredible. We highly recommend you making this a place to visit.
This was once in a lifetime experience for all the chocolate lovers, as this place was terrific and tremendous to watch out.
There is a small seater train, wherein which we will taken and shown how the chocolate is made and wrapped as well.
Apart from chocolate, there milkshake and ice-cream are very famous and they also clothing and gift accessories too.
A very unique place! I hadn't been here in probably 20 years. My granddaughters love it. There is a ride that takes you through the process of making the candy. There are character appearances, lots of awesome treats to pick from and a huge gift shop with specialty items for each of the major candies. It can be a little expensive but I feel it is well worth it because of where you are and that it is so unique.
It's a great place to visit, especially for the kids and the chocolate lovers.
The huge chocolate store and dining area.
You can take a tour to see the process for making Hershey's Chocolates.
You can make your own chocolate, but you must buy a $35 ticket.

This inviting establishment is perfect for families and friends looking to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere while indulging in an impressive selection of craft beers, ranging from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts.

Such a great experience at Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant!! Me and my girlfriend went tonight before the rain hit and it was delicious!
Such great food and the service was extremely quick without sacrificing food temperature or quality. Would say we were sat and had food/drinks within 30 minutes of our reservation time (I highly recommend, this place gets busy quick)
To start we had the fire queso and it was super hot (temperature wise, although there was a kick due to jalapeños.) but super duper delicious! One of the best dips we’ve ever had!
I had the bbq burger with fries and my girlfriend had the salmon with mashed potatoes. My bbq burger was huge!! I had to cut it in half to fit it in my mouth haha.
My girlfriend’s salmon was delicious with the mashed potatoes on top!!
We traveled from Long Island. We will definitely be back for more our next time out! 10/10 score!

Great place to visit. Great atmosphere, very clean. We got 2 coffee, coke , red velvet pancakes and Philly egg and cheese rolls - $42.76 . Wouldn’t bring small kids there , but family with teenagers fits right in . Definitely recommend to stop by.
Josh was our server. He was very knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere was very cool with the brewery visible through glass. Several seasonal and on draft in house brewed beers and even their own root beer which was delicious. My husband had the light lager and enjoyed it. We ordered the truffle fries and Bavarian pretzel for appetizers. Both delicious. Portions were large. Two of our kids ordered the chicken sandwich, our youngest got the grilled chicken caesar salad. My husband and I shared a pizza called Garcia. It had gouda, mushrooms and caramelized onions. The crust was thin and crispy. So good! 12" 6 slice pizza we couldn't finish...had to get a box. Everything was hot, freshly made and delicious. Would highly recommend for the atmosphere alone, the food was the icing on the cake. Management was great also, checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Great top notch experience! Would definitely go back.
Delicious food, great atmosphere, easy parking. Fun drinks - Salmon salad was fantastic!
Small error that I ordered the highlighted Smash potatoes but got the mashed potatoes. The server volunteered to check if the mashed potatoes were made with dairy (cream), but she forgot and never came back. The bar waiter noticed and removed them from the bill.
This was my 1st time trying this restaurant. I picked it out because it was open later. I was in a party of 4. We all liked our food. I loved that my sandwich had a really light bread, and it was full of flavor and not at all dry. The kids' meals here are great with many entree and side dish options.
Restaurant was not that busy. Bar was empty. Bartender was eating dinner when I arrived. parking is very challenging. Not the first time I have had dinner here. Similar experience.
Iron Hill Brewery is one of the rare places I have found that you can tell they truly understand food. Wonderful flavor balance in everything we had, and a menu that truly feels inspired. Every beer and bite was nothing short of delicious. It saddened me to think they are nowhere near where I live. I'll be dreaming of that burger and bread pudding for a while. At least I get to leave with a couple growlers of the POG to share with my friends back home!
Our Server Kiet was amazing, attentive, accurate and knowledgeable. The food was on point. The music in the background was not overwhelming and it was a beautiful evening. I highly recommend this establishment.

Seafood restaurant
Devon Seafood & Steak is an upscale dining spot in Hershey, offering a delectable selection of fresh seafood and prime steaks. The restaurant prides itself on serving sustainably farmed and line-caught fish, alongside mouthwatering sides like lobster mac n cheese and Yukon Gold potatoes. Guests can enjoy their meal alfresco on the patio, with a view of Hershey's Kiss streetlights and the smokestacks.
The restaurant has a great ambience. Our server was friendly and great. Their foods were absolutely amazing. If someone asks for a restaurant recommendation when visiting the Hershey Park, you can confidently recommend this place.
I personally loved my scallops, mushroom risotto and rainbow carrots. My husband was first served with a fillet mignon but our server corrected the order right away and changed to the T-bone ribeye. The steak was so great that their mistake was immediately forgotten.
My kids thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience here and wanted to go again the next day.

Amazing experience.
All selections were top tier!
The barramundi was much better than expected even with high expectations. It held the smoke and char nicely while still being moist and delicious.
Appetizer sampler was great for a few people.
Mushrooms were incredible.
Mac & cheese was above average.
Devon Seafood and Steak is an amazing upscale dining experience!
I dined at Devon while on a work outing to Hershey with a group of 8. There was a very short wait for a table (we had a reservation) and the establishment was somewhat busy during our visit.
Devon has a great, classy atmosphere and a great menu focusing on red meats and seafood that is printed and updated each day based on item availability. On this visit I ordered a surf and turf with a filet and salmon.
Table service was a little slow and there was a significant wait between ordering drinks, appetizers, food, and desserts, but a lot of this wait was likely due to the size of our party and the wait for the food was not terribly long.
The surf and turf was amazing, and the Salmon is close to some of the best I have had anywhere! There were some great selections for dessert and we sampled plenty of them, all of which were delicious.
It is unlikely I will be back in the Hershey area again anytime soon, but if I find myself in that area I would definitely look up Devon's again!
A classy establishment with a wide variety of delicious and creative entrees that elevate classic seafood staples. From the biscuits you get to start through the wide variety of different sea creatures on both the mixed grill and hot seafood platter, you are sure to find some excellent food here. I think the mixed grill is your best bet to ensure you are getting a variety, and it will surely not disappoint. Great spot in a great city- with a bonus that it is in a very central location so you can walk around after!
Fantastic dinner! We are locals who drove by all the time. Seafood is incredibly fresh, servers are so attentive and friendly - we had Quan and he was the best! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the lobster Mac and cheese was a highlight! My wife’s dinner looked incredible as well! We will definitely be back!
We go here at least once a year. The food portions seem to have gotten smaller for the price though the taste is as good as it's always been. Service is good.
Not only was the food so incredibly delicious, our server was excellent! Taylor made sure we had a great experience! Would highly recommend and will ask for Taylor on our next visit. Also, if you forget belonings there, as we did, staff made sure to bring it to us promptly.
Was disappointed by the food here - blackened shrimps were overcooked and the bouillabaisse tasted underwhelming. Garlic wine mussels was the only good item on the
menu imo. Was also super difficult to get the attention of the service team and the meal dragged on longer than we’d like.

For day 2, we recommend exploring the northwest side side of town. Start the day off with ZooAmerica, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Tanger Outlets Hershey. All together, your day would be filled with about 9 hours of non-stop fun.

ZooAmerica is an 11-acre walk-through zoo located next to Hersheypark. It features over 200 animals native to North America, including mountain lions, owls, and reindeer. The zoo offers educational programs and is open year-round except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby Hersheypark water park with attractions like the Shore wave pool and the Intercoastal Waterway lazy river.
I visited the zoo for the first time with my husband and my children. My children that we brought are age 10, 2, and 9 months. We got there just as the zoo opened. The parking lot is small, but it doesn't seem to be an issue because people come and go rather quickly. There was an attendant there to help people park when we were leaving. The zoo is handicapped accessible and the staff was all very friendly. My kids enjoyed watching the monorail go through the zoo. The zoo itself is small, but has a lot of animals. Some of the bird exhibits were empty because of the avian flu. As I said, we got there just as the zoo opened and a camp was coming through, which meant that a lot of staff were present and answering questions, which was very nice. It was also feeding time for many of the animals, which meant we got to see all of them. It was a great time and we will definitely be back!
Kylie P — Google review
So many cool animals to see, a nice very walkable smaller zoo with alot to see. We got to feed the otters which was so fun. Iris and Link were great little critters. We had to get the giant otter stuffy after that experience. Make sure to book ahead of time if you want to do a feeding. The zookeepers were so nice.
The family loves to go there at least twice a year. Last ti.e, it was muggy and sprinkling on and off l, but the animals were very lively, noth indoors and outdoors, totally made the kids' day. I would suggest going about 2 hours before they close; not crowded at all, easier to get to exhibits and overall faster exploration nifty the whole zoo.
We were excited that this Zoo is now included in Hershey Park tickets. It was hot on the day we went and this area was shaded and cool. It was a great break from the heat and there was enough to see with about and hour or 2 of time.
This is not a zoo. More of an animal rescue. Great idea needs more development and animals. However, seeing animals caged is sad to me. You have to cross the highway and get your hand stamp to come back into the main park. Admission to Hershey Park gets you all attractions
My day is 3-1/2 yrs old & she absolutely loved the Zoo! Neat little place to hit while at the park. Very educational as well!
Good small zoo suitable for little kids. It is doable in 60-90 min depending on how interested the kids are. Just a heads up the parking lot is small. Best time to see animals active is when the zoo opens or early evening.
Why did most of animals look sad and lonely? It was great to see the different kinds of animals but some of the enclosures were too small and they didn't mimic their natural habitats. Why were they made of plastic? The Roseate Spoonbills were trying to look for food on a plastic floor! 😡 The enclosure was pathetic. The animals looked well fed. Not saying they're abused. I was just a little disappointed for the animals.

The Hershey Story Museum is an engaging and interactive museum that delves into the life of Milton S. Hershey, the man behind one of the world's most famous chocolate brands. Located in the heart of Hershey, Pennsylvania, this family-friendly museum offers a variety of exhibits and collections that showcase Hershey's history, lifestyle, and legacy.
A fabulous place to learn about Milton Hershey, the Hershey Chocolate Company, and the surrounding community of Hershey, PA (not officially a town). The staff were friendly and the exhibits were a balanced combination of period artifacts in themed cases and interactive screens to better understand the story. There is a token given to activate the interactive screens, and you can personalize them! Overall, it was an informal and entertaining venue, and I would recommend the museum to anybody that wants to know more about my third cousin.
Cole M — Google review
This was a great place to learn about Hershey - not just the Hershey company but the town too. There is a scavenger hunt to keep younger kids entertained. Quite a few interactive exhibits. Add on experiences include the Chocolate Lab (make your own chocolate bar and learn about chocolate) and tastings. The chocolate bar experience at the lab is different than make your own Candy Bar at Hershey's Chocolate World.
There is also a café where you can get something to eat or drink (great food and coffee options).
A great stop if you’re short on time! The museum offers a nice mix of the history behind the Hershey business and Milton Hershey’s lasting impact on the town. Well organized, informative, and easy to explore without feeling rushed. Perfect for anyone who enjoys learning the story behind the famous chocolate brand and the community it built. Chocolate tasting was a fun addition.
Had such a good time, and learned so much! Highly recommend visiting if you have the time. The staff are kind and helpful. There are also fun interactive things to do!
We loved it. This is an amazing museum for all ages! The staff is incredibly kind, always happy to answer your questions, explain everything, and help you. Stop by to enjoy a truly educational and fascinating experience!
Fun way to learn more about Hershey. Some really interesting interactive aspects to the museum which is great for kids. Spent about an hour walking around. We enjoyed learning more about the town. The gift shop was ok - it would be nice if some collectors tins or historic packing was sold to reflect more of the Hershey history or one of a kind chocolates, just available there.
We paid extra for the chocolate tasting at the end for adults and kids. Very tasty. I do wish that kids could keep their tasting mug, especially considering the price of the tastings, as our little one really wanted it and it would have been a nice keepsake. A chocolate sample to take home would have also been really appreciated. We offered to even pay for the kids mug but were told no. All things considered it was a nice visit for an hour or 2.
The Hershey store is massive. Every kind of chocolate you want. Plus all the other candy's owned by Hershey, like Jolly Ranchers. Took the factory tour and it was quite informative.
Very informative museum about the man, the business, and the town. Friendly staff on hand for any questions. Interactive displays. Really enjoyed visiting.

Roller coaster
Situated within Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Skyrush is a renowned steel roller coaster that offers an exhilarating experience for thrill-seekers. With its distinctive blue and orange track standing tall over the park, it provides panoramic views of Hershey while delivering intense speed, thrilling drops, and plenty of airtime moments. Despite its modest appearance next to Skyrush, the superdooperLooper manages to pack a punch with its collection of dips and turns.
This is probably one of my favorite rollercoasters of all time. The fast lift, the atmosphere over the lake, the speed, the theming, and especially the airtime makes this ride perfect. This ride will try to rip you out your seat and I LOVE IT. The new restraints improve this ride experience too. This ride is badass and if you’re into a thrilling, airtime heavy, whippy, and fast ride, then this is the ride for you! 10/10

Rode this coaster a lot when we had season passes as a family back in 2019-2022. Came back last month with day passes and rode this one and we had a great time on it. Only downside is the new restraints don’t crush ur thighs which is great but as a guy they kinda crushed my balls which is worse. Why can’t they just make restraints better for this ride like damn Hershey it’s not that difficult lol. Also I like the new theme for the ride it’s like airport theme and it feels like an airport also. Would ride again but if ur a guy like me u might wanna wear a cup so ur balls don’t get crushed lol.
It may be the very picturesque roller coaster in this park, but it is a boring and painful experience. Most people and enthusiasts love this coaster, but I really didn't. I couldn't wait to get off. First I will talk about the restraints. The restraints once the ride hits full speed puts a lot of pressure on your thighs which will cut the circulation off of them, then goes over an airtime hill and then it starts to make your thighs hurt along with still having to deal with circulation. By the time it got to the last air time hill I was crying. The layout/thrill. The most thrilling part is the lift hill and dropping 200ft. It zips up the lift hill pretty fast and then drops straight down which is the most fun, then the rest of the layout is boring a lot of helixes and banked turns. Give me banked drops, more than vertical drops and inversions and that's a thrill. A few airtime hills, banked turns and helixes....BORING!
Quite simply... The BEST Ride in the Park! Only for those who can withstand the G-Forces all the way throughout the ride duration. This ride WILL throw you! Strongest recommendation: take an outside seat to get the FULL Sky Rush Experience! I LOVE this Ride! And if you're a true Roller Coaster Head, you will too!
Felt like it would rip me in half. Amazing. Intamin rarely misses, and this is no exception. Also, the restraints aren't as bad as people say. They'll all praise RMC shin assassin restraints, but hate when they can't fly out of their seats into the midway for that maximum airtime. Anyways, ride it in the back row outside seat... Amazing.
Wasn't sure if we could make this run but still did it anyways and I am so glad we did. Such an exhilarating ride with a big drop in the beginning and some fun twists and turns throughout. Had a blast and even if you're short on time, still give it a shot anyways.
Skyrush is definitely one of my families top 3 rollercoasters in HP. Great ride and even more fun during Hersheypark in the Dark when they put it in dark mode for the final hour of operation.
Fun roller coaster but not nearly as smooth as some of the other rides. Definitely had a headache after.

Update 11/02/24
This was a much better experience, less hectic and rushed due to the fact that we arrived earlier!
Ain’t Too Proud, the Broadway musical about the lives of The Temptations is a must see!
New: Hershey Theatre will CLOSE for major upgrades and renovations on January 25, 2025 and reopen in early 2026!
I hope the beauty of the interior is preserved!
This was an experience on a Saturday, 2:00 pm Matinee for Beetlejuice, The Musical, on tour at Hershey.
Suggestion # 1: Give yourselves plenty of time to arrive well before the performance because while there was enough parking ( free) there were not enough people directing the flow of traffic and it took long to park. Suggestion #2: Follow the rule of SMALL purse! Also if you happen to have a pepper spray attached to your key chain, leave it in the car! I had to throw mine in the trash! Suggestion #3: Use the bathroom before the show. At Intermission the lines are very long.
On the positive side, the theatre’s architecture is beautiful, the staff friendly and security tight.
Beetlejuice, a great performance!
Beautiful historic theater. Plan to walk up to 2 blocks for parking. They also conduct metal detections and inspection personal belongings. Do not bring a handbag bigger than a hand clutch due to size restrictions. Once in the theater, the atmosphere is WONDERFUL and the ushers are helpful and professional.
Great theater to see a show! Parking isn't bad and there is some street parking (better option) until it's time to go. Can take about 20+ minutes to get out of the lot. (But that should be expected) My only negative is the the purse fitting into the box thing. Had I known this, I'd have left it home; however, I took out my wallet and cell, put it in my pocket and returned it to the purse once inside. In all fairness, there may have been some kind of disclosure on the website when purchasing.
Overall, the show was great, the seats were great, and the staff was great. Kudos Hershey Theater!
Beautiful venue to see a show. Free parking!! Reasonable refreshment prices. Seats are a little tight for the larger patrons. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely keep an eye on their event schedule.
What a gorgeous historical, building! The acoustics were perfect! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! We had a great time, and hope they will consider having more hard rock bands in this wonderful setting
What a beautiful and historic theater! We attended a Lindsey Sterling performance here last night and the acoustics were phenomenal! The entire place is so elegant and pretty! I love the view from the balcony, and all the details that went into everything. They did have a vendor selling snack and drinks, including wine and beer. Overall a fantastic venue.
Very nice theater. The view from our seats was very good. The seat numbering system is a little weird, though. Security had the lines going smoothly. Everyone was kind and pleasant. Parking and exiting were far better than I had imagined.

Arenas & Stadiums
Hersheypark Stadium, located within the vibrant Hersheypark entertainment complex in Pennsylvania, is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking thrilling live experiences. With a capacity of over 30,000 seats, this expansive outdoor venue has been captivating audiences since its inception in 1939. It serves as a dynamic backdrop for an array of events ranging from exhilarating sporting matches to electrifying concerts featuring big-name artists. The stadium's picturesque setting enhances the excitement of community gatherings and family shows alike.
Saw the hozier concert it was AMAZING, The opener Gigi Parez was as equally amazing had the best time with my beautiful daughter ❤️ the only thing I would say could use a little attention, would be the fact that you have to park a mile or 2 from the stadium and walk. It's hard to dress up for awesome concert and then have to walk that far.
So I would recommend to other concert Goers, if you're going to the Hershey park stadium for a concert, wear sneakers.

I attended Summer Worship Nights which was a sold-out show. I was very impressed with how smoothly everything went, considering there were 30,000 people in attendance. Parking was across the street, which I wasn't aware of until we arrived. So, be prepared and allow time for a little bit of a walk. My seats were in Section A Row 7 and they were great!
Great concert venue. Most seats have good visibility. Be careful if it rains as seats will be wet. Getting in and out is easy, but it's preferable to leave early from a concert to leave easily. Concessions are ridiculously expensive... Parking could be better.
Awesome venue. Great for Summer concerts. Not crazy about the bench seating but the floor was awesome. It sounds amazing & it's so cool seeing the park & coasters in the background. Staff, secutity were cool, friendly. But, the parking although free, is a disaster. It's a gravel walk to the stadium & leaving took 1.5 hrs in traffic to exit It's why ill never see a show here again. It was hell trying to leave. No direction at all. (We had amazing seats but we were early & walked right to the front of ga so we just stayed there to dance & have fun w/friends)
Pretty decent venue. It’s absolutely huge and seeing the theme park in the background is pretty cool. Easy access in and out. Just really crowded. The seats on the sides of the stage are benches and they don’t give you much room at all between numbers/people. Pretty crammed. Still a good time.
Concert itself was 10/10, loved worshipping alongside 30,000 people!!
Was dreading coming here for Slayer last night because of the whole traffic situation I've been reading about. I was suprised how quickly I was able to park even though I arrived right at show time. I got parking at one of the grass lots across the main road from the stadium which was a hike. Probably a 25 minute walk but I was able to get in and out easily instead of fighting traffic in the field lots. Venue itself is dated but the sound was good. Chairs on the floor were tight and barely labeled so anytime you left for a drink or the bathroom someone was always in our seats when we returned. Overall it was a good show and exceeded my expectations because I expected a complete disaster due to reviews.
Used to come here every year for Show of the Summer, but haven’t been to a concert here since the last one until now for Twenty one pilots Breach/Clancy tour (September 2025), the staff is lovely and try their best to help direct you to where things are but until someone rlly in charge tells you then it usually isn’t correct. We had asked 4 staff members where to go to line up for our section and got all different responses to different locations. We ended up waiting for the end of the check in line to get in since it was such chaos of nobody knowing. Otherwise it was a great show, great venue.
I've only been there once. It was for Slayer, suicidal tendencies, cavaliera conspiracy, Power Trip, and the Mickey mouse of hardcore, knocked loose. It was a decent show, the sound person kind of blue chunks from where we were standing. We were in the non-vip GA for that show, where there was a closed off section for closer GA experience.
Make sure that you check your emails for updates because they did a terrible job at telling what bags or necklaces and items can be worn for attendees. We were stuck at security as a friend of mine had issues getting in.

The outlet is outdoor-style, but the walkways are wide and clean, and parking was pretty easy to find even on a busy day.
It can get a bit crowded during peak hours, especially in summer or holidays, but overall it still felt organized. Staff in the stores were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed browsing without any pressure.

Great Shopping Experience – Clean, Spacious, and Full of Deals!
Tanger Outlets Hershey is a fantastic place for shopping! The outlet is very well maintained, with clean walkways, organized store layouts, and a welcoming atmosphere. There are a large number of brand-name stores to choose from, and we found some excellent deals and offers throughout.
The parking area is spacious and easily accessible, which made our visit even more convenient. It’s a great spot to spend a few hours with family or friends while grabbing some great bargains. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Hershey area!
Nice place to shop. If you are visiting the a hershey park great place for shopping.
I have never seen such a well-stocked Sketchers outlet in my life! And sales associates willing to help you find exactly the shoe you need! Shopping online, I thought I had the shoes I wanted already chosen but was amazed at the selection and with the assistance of the sales associate I found the perfect pair!
I had a great shopping experience here, nice clean outlets, and they recently put in a walkway spanning two sides of the plaza across the huge parking area. I also found some mega percentages off at Talbots and Loft. But what I really love about this is they have a great sound system outside of the stores as you’re walking in the covered area it just kinda rejuvenated me-anyway good job Tanger!
Great store selection and generous parking. Slow to get electrical charging stations running, found 2 out of service. Avoid entrance neat Starbucks as customers and tourists block intersection.
What a great place to shop! I really love the clothes at Ralph Lauren, and my wife feels the same about Vera Bradley. Plus, grabbing a Venti Cafe Mocha at Starbucks really makes the day!
Quick weekend getaway ….. wasn’t planning on Christmas shopping but some of the deals were incredible!!! Definitely new inventory came in for holiday season …. staff in the stores were ALL super friendly !!!

Italian restaurant
Fenicci's of Hershey is a beloved Italian eatery and bar that has been a part of the Hershey tradition since 1935. The restaurant offers a casual dining experience with a menu featuring pizzas, pastas, and family-style dishes. Owner Phil Guarno takes pride in using quality ingredients, some sourced from his own garden, to create both cherished original recipes and new, innovative additions.
I absolutely LOVED eating here. I was on a group trip and they brought out our food, 20 people’s food so fast. I ordered the tortellini blush, hoping it would be similar to another dish I absolutely love, and it was everything I had hoped and more. I usually can’t eat an entire meal at a restaurant in one sitting. I have to take it to go and eat the rest later on. I finished that tortellini blush in maybe 5-10 minutes it was so good. Maybe I was starving from being on the road and running around all day with a huge group of people, but either way, it was absolutely delicious and the servers were super knowledgeable about the town!

Staffing was great the waiter was polite and very talkative. He was very easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable, got some giggles out of us with his witty comments. Food was great! Drink was a-little strong to my liking, but that’s just my preference. Do not over estimate on the Stromboli size! It’s huge!!! Definitely brought it home for lunch the next day. Atmosphere was great, a-little to dark my older family members couldn’t read the menu cause the lighting was too low. They had to put the flashlight on their phone to read the menu. But the food was awesome!! Definitely will be back and recommend.
This was my first time here, I took my girlfriend on a date. We both ENJOYED IT! The service was fast, polite and gave us our space. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, we sat on the lounge booth side that has the bar next to it. Great art on the walls. We tried the famous meatballs and they were everything you could imagine from an Italian restaurant! Only thing I would say is the meatballs should come with just 1 piece of bread maybe to share as we got 4 of the meatballs. But other than that 1 suggestion 10/10!!!! Would recommend, will recommend, and have recommended to friends already. Great Job Fenicci’s 👏🏾
I ate here like ten years ago and remember it being a pleasant experience. This time, it was quite the opposite. A lot of the recent reviews are similar to what we encountered. However, some of the reviews were really good, so we figured we'd chance it. Big mistake. We had a reservation for five people at 9:45, and the kitchen is supposedly open until 11:30, so it's not like we came in right before close. None of the wait staff looked like they wanted to be there. Our waiter essentially just asked us "What do you want?" and then left.
When the food came, it was just dropped off at our table by a different server. My order wasn't even correct and had to be remade. We were barely checked on and there was very little actual serving going on from our server.
As for the food, the bread was very dry. The salad dressing was good. The sausage was alright, as was the Alfredo. However, everything did need a decent amount of salt added to it. The food wasn't exactly bad, but I've had a lot better and it was just very mediocre. We could have gone to Olive Garden for much cheaper, had excellent service, and with the same amount of love put into the food.
We weren't offered dessert or anything, so we just paid and left as soon as possible. We shouldn't have even left the $10 tip we did leave. As a server myself, I would be ashamed to treat my customers like that.
Went here on my first night at Hershey, PA. It was the only restaurant/bar that was open till midnight. Had a couple of old fashions and a delicious seafood fettuccini alfredo with a side salad. Will come back on my next visit.
Literally terrible experience. Placed an order on the phone and everything was verbally confirmed. $65 later and we are back at our hotel and there is no dressing on the salad, about 10 pieces of calamari with no lemons on the side like we asked and about 5 bites of crab tortellini for $28! And then when I called back, I was told “I will take care of it” by the woman on the phone and then she hung up. I have no idea if that means I will be refunded or what. Never go here. Not to mention a salad was supposed to come with the tortellini and no cutlery.
The food was decent. I got the lasagna and enjoyed it, my wife got the fettuccine and it was okay but not great. We got the spinach artichoke dip which was great, the salads that came with the entries were decent, about what you'd expect. Everything went smoothly until the end when we asked for a desert menu. We waited about 10-15 minutes for the menu and they were out of what my wife wanted. Other than that, the service was fast.
The menu have a lot of items the dishes itself. It’s delicious. The price is affordable. It’s not that expensive on the heart of the city.

Blown away by our first visit. The menu presents too many good options. The lobster roll was on point. The street corn chicken risotto outstanding. The short rib pasta was deep and rich. Service was quick and pleasant. We will definitely be back.

This place has a pretty good selection on their menu. The hot honey goat cheese appetizer was great. Portion size on the actual entrees could be bigger especially for the prize. This place is pricey but as I stated, the menu will probably be a bit different than most places you go to. The drinks seemed to be hit or miss. One was great. The other didn’t have much flavor and I think they skipped the alcohol for one.
It’s worth a stop.
We decided to try this restaurant while celebrating our anniversary in Hershey. We did make reservations for a Saturday night. When we arrived, there was a wait for a table if you did not have a reservation.
We had the Limoncello Spritz and the Italian Gin and Tonic. Both of the drinks were refreshing. We ordered the Mexican Street Corn Risotto with grilled chicken and Spanish Chorizo and Shrimp. The meals did not come with a salad but you can add it for an extra cost.
For dessert, we opted for another drink. We choose the Peanut Butter Milkshake martini (which is served in an iced tea glass not a martini glass) and another Italian Gin and Tonic.
Everything was delicious.
We decided to eat here for our anniversary and what an amazing decision. The food was so delicious and Breanne (sp?) was phenomenal. She was super nice, answered all our questions, and offered suggestions on what to eat. My husband got the pork chop with garlic mashed potatoes and I had the butternut squash gnocchetti. We will definitely be back!
After a day at Hersheypark, we usually stop at Tröegs Brewery for dinner, but this time we decided to mix it up and try something different. This was our first time visiting Chocolate Avenue Grill, and we were extremely happy with the choice.
The duck wing appetizer was incredibly delicious, and the hot honey glazed scallops were next-level amazing. I had a bite of my son's hot chicken sandwich and my wife's Mediterranean wrap, and both were also so good.
To say this meal was enjoyable would be a complete understatement. I honestly cannot remember the last time I had food that tasted this good. We are already looking forward to our next visit to the area, and this will definitely become a regular stop for us. I cannot speak highly enough about how blown away we were by the flavor and overall quality of the food.
Fantastic restaurant! Friendly service and great food at Reasonable prices! And they have a dog friendly patio!!
I had the blackened chicken tacos and got the sliders to share with my dog. My wife got the French dip and our friend got the smokehouse burger. Have to say- amazing!! We will definitely be back!
Upscale Café, perfect for date or ladies luncheon. I had the Goat cheese salad and it was delicious. My granddaughter had the traditional burger and fries, said they were good. Creme brulee was fantastic, large enough to share, and the peanut butter pie was so rich it tasted like fudge.
Huge menu that includes high quality dishes, accompanied by incredible service. Doesn’t get much better than this! Highly recommend, making this spot a new tradition for our post Hershey park meals!

Breakfast restaurant
Nestled within the iconic Hotel Hershey, The Circular is a flagship restaurant offering contemporary American cuisine in a historically inspired setting with views of the gardens. As part of the Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company, it captures new and fresh flavors while honoring its heritage. Executive Chef Bart Umidi's extensive experience influences the diverse menu, featuring dishes like Cocoa Dusted Diver Scallops and Espresso and Cocoa Crusted Venison.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Hotel Hershey is a beautifully maintained historic establishment. The Circular exemplifies those qualities from the staff to the atmosphere to the food and beverages. The view of the gardens alone is worth taking in each season.
The staff from the hostess to the manager was very attentive and friendly. The signature cocktails were interesting and delicious. The food was delicious and prepared flawlessly. Lastly, they added complimentary chocolate strawberries for my wife’s birthday. Chef’s kiss to the entire establishment!

One of the best meals ever! Come Enjoy The Circular to celebrate a special occasion. The menu options are limited and pricey, but every item we had was fantastic! 10 out of 10. Shout out to our waiter, John, who guided expertly us through our meal selections.
My husband and I have been to The Circular twice now, and both experiences were outstanding. The food and service are truly top-notch. The restaurant itself has a beautiful, elegant atmosphere that perfectly matches the fine dining experience you’d expect at the Hotel Hershey.
We had Mike as our server both times, and he was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We’ll definitely be asking for him again the next time we go.
The food is on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall experience make it absolutely worth it. Portions are perfectly balanced — generous enough to feel satisfying without being overwhelming.
This is, without a doubt, our favorite restaurant. Every visit feels special, and we can’t wait to come back!
Appetizers were better than the food. The drinks were great (the signature bourbon drink and Negroni). The interior is a bit dated.
Incredible experience from start to finish. From the amuse bouche to the chocolate soufflé every dish was carefully curated and presented. John was extremely kind and attentive throughout the entire dinner.
Lauren made fantastic drinks! The Bubba was the perfect summer cocktail, infused vodka, pomegranate juice, and honey simple syrup came together perfectly. The Hansel and Gretel was a fun and refreshing mix of mint, lemon, and bourbon, surprisingly light and ideal for warm weather.
As a local, this is easily one of the best spots in the area for a great drink and a relaxed vibe. The bar is usually open and welcoming, and it’s always a solid choice for a fun night out. Highly recommend!
I have to admit, the prices were intimidating when I first saw them online. We went as a group to celebrate a couple getting married. The food and service was astoundingly good and although the prices are high so is the quality. The waiter made a great red wine suggestion to pair with my filet mignon. I had scoffed at the cheese platter when I first saw pictures of it bc it was so small but the flavors of it are so big we were able to share one plate between four people. Their mixed cocktails were stellar as well. My husband is super picky but love Reese’s cups and thoroughly enjoyed the Reese’s martini. The deserts were divine, all the girls got something different and taste tested amongst each other. My favorite was the pear gelato. Overall, this place is fancy, and it makes you feel fancy and special. Despite the prices, I now think they’re justified for the experience and quality.
We go to Hershey every year for the past 4 years. We always eat at the Circular breakfast buffet. We love the Hershey waffles, the sausage, bacon, pancakes, ham, and potatoes.
Jen our server is amazing. 3 of the 4 times she served us. We enjoy seeing her each year. Also Ozge kept our water glasses full.

Nestled close to the iconic Hersheypark, the Giant Center is a remarkable 10,500-seat arena that serves as a vibrant hub for entertainment in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This multipurpose venue is not only the home of the Hershey Bears Hockey Club but also hosts an array of events ranging from thrilling ice-skating shows to electrifying concerts featuring renowned artists like Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Miranda Lambert.
Wow. Was shocked at how massive the arena is. Only issue is when ur up in the Ada area it's hard to see performers on the stage. Wished they would have had screens to see the band members! The bands rocked it out of the park! Left happy with a great performance but hershey needs to improve the visual so attendees can see the performers.
Missy A — Google review
The venue was nice and in wonderful condition. However, the parking price was incredibly excessive and unnecessary. $35 for a two hour event is way too much. If they want to charge that much for parking, there needs to be more amenities. Tram service, covered walkways, trash receptacles amongst the parking spots just to name a few. Again the giant center is in great condition and well maintained. The event was superb and highly entertaining. However, the parking price was excessively too much. It offends me that they are taking advantage of so many families by charging so much for parking. I would consider taking my family to more events if parking wasn’t an additional excessive amount.
As a concert venue the is sound is great the concessions are great, the views are great, everything is great except one thing parking. Leaving Giant Center is like trying navigate merge lanes from 10 different angles. They will gladly guide you in to the event but leaving it, forget about it. This could be run so much smoother instead of 45minute+ traffic jam.
Very nice arena, but parking was very expensive. My wife bought a a clear plastic purse specifically for going into arenas and it missed fitting in their "Purse size checking" box by maybe an inch. I am not sure why this rule exists and nobody could explain it to me.
We were there for the Volbeat concert. Smaller venue where almost every seat had a great view. Plenty of bathrooms,food, and clean!
We saw Keith Urban concert and the acoustics were great! Easy access to seating and leaving was easy and quick. Highly recommend this venue.
Was at the Hershey RV show. The Guant center was a great place for all the vendors. Had an amazing time spent too much money on cool stuff.
Easy parking and excellent seats for our event! MHS puts on an amazing graduation ceremony.

Experience the thrill of Hershey Bears Hockey at Giant Center, the home of Hershey's AHL team. From October to April, catch a game and enjoy the electric atmosphere in this huge indoor arena located near Hersheypark. The Bears have won numerous league championships and are affiliated with the Washington Capitals NHL team.
We saw Trans Siberian Orchestra last nite and at first, we were a little concerned about the seats being on the side of the stage. Turned out they were great. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. Small venue, which makes it even better.
Entering and exiting the parking lot is a breeze. It is one of the easiest and quickest stadium lots to exit.

Great environment, more leg room than many arenas, fantastic video board. Only drawback is if sitting in 200s level the PA system is just noise, can't discern anything being said.
We had a great time there with our son and new bride at the Bears home game on December 9th, 2023.
Hockey tickets are cheap, relatively speaking. But they get you at concession stands. Triple and quadruple prices. Stadium is good and bigger than the old barn standing a few hundred meters away, but I can't picture the business model was the same back then. Something has changed along the way.
Oh yeah. Kutznezov didn't even play one game here since sent to bears before traded to the canes. I knew to be the case but still bot the Tix in case. Worth the try? Probably not
We went for the Rv show. It definitely did disappoint. They had every thing there you could want. If you are looking definitely the best place to make deals.
Intense game Friday evening, which kept us on our seats till the end! Excellent seats, good stadium food, even was able to get a picture with Coco! Good all around evening for everyone!
A Bears game lined up with a visit to the park so we seized the opportunity to see some professional hockey on our trip.
We were not disappointed. The arena has a real big league feel to it.
Despite the Bears losing the game it was fun and the level of hockey they played at was some of the best we’ve seen in a non-NHL level game.
Had a great time the atmosphere was amazing almost a sellout crowd 11,000 had front row seats made it even better. Looking forward to going again

Garden
Hershey Gardens, a 23-acre botanical garden and arboretum, was established by Milton S. Hershey in 1937 as a gift to the community and a tribute to his wife. The gardens boast rare trees, themed gardens, and seasonal flower displays that offer visitors unique floral experiences. Highlights include the Historic Hershey Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, and Herb Garden. It's a serene sanctuary for nature enthusiasts and reflects the founder's commitment to cultivating natural wonders.
Beautiful gardens! We stopped by for an hour or so and just loved walking around. The butterfly atrium was also wonderful. The children's garden had a lot of fun areas for the kids to explore - flowers, statues, musical elements, play areas. We loved exploring. The flowers everywhere are gorgeous and just smell amazing. Would highly recommend visiting.

We had a wonderful time at Hershey Gardens! The roses were stunning and still in full bloom, even in late summer. The Japanese Garden was a highlight—especially the meditation spaces, which provided such a peaceful atmosphere. While we didn’t have any young children with us, we still really enjoyed exploring the Children’s Garden—it’s creative and fun for all ages. Overall, a beautiful and relaxing experience. We’re looking forward to coming back with our grandchildren in the future.
What a marvelous afternoon! I definitely will plan a longer visit, so much to see and experience. Lots of easy parking leading up to the Gardens. Butterfly exhibition, year-round! Great gift shop with local products and souvenirs. Thousands of blooming rose bushes when I came, mid-September. Unbelievably gorgeous. I didn’t get to the Children’s Garden or anything beyond the rose bushes, I was always over-stimulated and hot (bring water & snacks!), but so happy I came here. Plan ahead and enjoy!!
What a wonderful experience. This was the first time at Hershey gardens. The gardens were beautiful, even in October, the roses were still in bloom, and there were plenty of activities for kids to do. The gardens are large and there is a lot to see here. The main attraction is definitely a butterfly garden, it was wonderful! I'd come just to see that again!
The gardens are really gorgeous, the roses were incredible. Fun spots throughout for kids to stop and have fun. We visited pumpkin Palooza and it was perfect for a fall fun day. The butterfly room has so many different butterflies, definitely check it out. They do have a family bathroom with a changing table for little ones.
The gardens are beautiful. There is an educational walk offered daily that is free for all guests. This is a great experience. The butterfly garden is my favorite! Love seeing the variety of butterflies. Staff is very knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions. The children's garden is fun for kids of all ages. Whether you're a local or just visiting Hershey for a day, the gardens is always a great idea!
A peaceful botanical garden with a space to meet and greet butterflies at the start. This garden is right next to the hotel Hershey. A beautifully curated garden with lots of nooks to sit and read a book or walk and talk through. It may seem small but the winding paths take longer than you think. This is a great way to decompress after Hershey park or go for a walk after your spa experience.
October 2025, we spent a few hours walking around the very beautiful grounds. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This is a great experience for the entire family. I absolutely recommend going here.

This world-class automotive museum showcases a remarkable collection of vintage vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and buses from the 1890s through the 1980s. As an Affiliate Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, it has earned recognition for its dedication to preserving and celebrating the rich history of automobiles.
Stopped in here today and the collection is amazing and very well laid out with a lot of history attached and explained. The staff is very helpful and will answer any questions you may have. I was told They rotate the cause so every couple months there's new stuff there so it's definitely worth visiting again which I will do in the future. It's a nice side piece when you get tired of Hershey Park in general

Quite a unique collection of cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles on display. It’s a great way to spend a couple hours if you love our automobile history and appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication that forged the bygone era when these machines were powerful and made to last. Some vehicles here are more than a hundred years old and they even have the Forrest Gump bus that Jenny boarded to head to California.
This is one of the best museums in the area. I like to visit a couple of times a year even though it's a 2.5 hour ride to get there. They have great exhibits which change every couple of months. Currently they are featuring station wagons along with their other great vehicles, cars, trucks, motorcycles and buses. There are many interactive displays and a room with huge interactive train sets. There is a deducted Tucker display with tons of information on the cars, several on display and a recreation of a Tucker dealership. The docents are very friendly and knowledgeable. If you are interested in automotive history this museum is a must see.
This place is truly amazing! It has three stories all filled with old cars, buses, and station wagons. I am an old car and truck enthusiast so this was my dream come true! I was on vacation for Hershey Park and saw it on my way to the park and I knew I had to stop and check it out and when I did I was not disappointed. Their tickets are reasonably priced and you do not need to buy tickets ahead of time, you can buy them there. Truly a hidden gem in Hershey, PA.
Car Museum
Great Harvest Host stop for us RV’ers! The museum was thoughtfully laid out with great backdrops that really showcased the cars. There was an impressive variety—classic cars, buses, motorcycles, and even a large, interactive model train display that was a hit. Easy parking and a fun stop for anyone who enjoys a mix of history, art, and mechanics. Highly recommend!
Fantastic museum and reasonably priced! All the cars are kept up and cleaned with props and backgrounds, they went the extra mile for this place! Definitely recommend!
Awesome collection of real vehicles from days gone by. Currently, there is a special exhibit on station wagons. Three levels of exhibits. On level 3, there is a great diecast bus collection.
Great experience at this museum. Loved the displays on the first floor with full size sets of the eras. Staff was very helpful and informative. Great selection of cars that get swapped out every 6 months. A lot of fun interactive things as well. Be sure to go downstairs and interact with the diner. Learned a lot.

This is the biggest toy store I have been in since Toys R Us closed so many years ago.
Many vintage and unique toys, collectors items, and they also have a selection of candy.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend!
MJDF — Google review
My wife and I were in the area yesterday and decided to stop by. Always looking for new cool and unique places. The store is massive and has a ton of toys from yo-yos, hot wheels, Barbie’s and even lava lamps. The employees are very nice but the toys are a bit on the expensive side.
The best toy store in the world! They have everything you could ever imagine! The staff is super friendly, they checked the back for a game I was looking for and actually had it. 10/10 I will be back again
Lots of variety and nice selection of toys and books, but the prices are average. We did not find any good deals or sales prices, even on some Lego sets that obviously have been sitting there for years (because they are old). Fun place to take kids, but we only bought one small book. Staff is really friendly!
We went in this morning and took our kids. Finding a toy store like this now a days is few and far between. We loved it and frankly the choices were almost overwhelming due to the variety. We are from out of state and always make a point of stopping here when we are in town! The store is organized great and staff is always friendly!
The selection of children's and youth toys and activities is unrivaled! Stepped into this store just looking to browse, and ended up spending an hour here! Lots of interactive toy displays which were very stimulating! All ages would enjoy this store, honestly. The customer service was satisfactory and the employees give you space and time to look. 10/10 would recommend taking your kiddos here. A little on the pricey side, but very worth it for the unique variety of products.
Really really large toy store with everything you could imagine for toys of all ages!
Did you know that Toys on the Square is a 15,000 square foot, independently owned toy store a few miles from Hersheypark
I noticed Wicked Legos and Gear Ball, which is a super cool 3D printed fidget toy - perfect for stress and anxiety. I left with a gross ; )
Anywho - if you can't find the perfect gift here for 0-99 year olds - you didn't go!

The 1762 Kitchen + Cocktails is a popular restaurant located at 1190 W Chocolate Ave, Hummelstown, PA. The menu features a variety of appetizers and entrees, including Dafnos Style Garlic Bread and Brians Gourmet Burgers & Sandwiches. This restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its diverse menu options. Whether you're looking for American cuisine or something more eclectic, The 1762 has something to offer.
TL,DR... Great place, awesome friendly staff, incredibly great tasting food and the owner is super nice.
Our group of 4 was there last night for the first time and I so wished that I took pics of the food. We had the crab cake sandwich and French fries... Now, back story, I'm originally from MD and I'm super picky about crab anything. I'm also I self proclaimed fry snob... Anyway... The crab cakes were amazing and I just could not stop eating the fries.
The staff was super nice to us and even though we showed up 10 minutes before the kitchen closed they never rushed us. The owner even stopped by our table to introduce himself and we chatted a bit.
Overall the experience was great, the background music style was perfect for us and not to loud. I did get a really good pic of the bar right after closing.
Definite go to fire a drink or food. Parking is also out back. Most people don't know that.

My wife got the Lancaster County Amish chicken with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts,and I had fish n chips. The food was amazing, as well the atmosphere. We sat in the side room that is more for the laid back vibe. It has big windows that overlooks the outside patio entertaining area. The service was phenomal! We were in and out in less than an hour. Would definitely recommend!
A cut above the rest in the area. There’s a few upper scale restaurants, and I don’t think their food quality comes close to The 1762. The quality of the ingredients is so noticeable. The meat was cooked to perfection.
The owner was super hospitable, and our server was helpful, friendly, and attentive. The environment was comfortable, and just an overall fantastic experience. Thanks to the whole crew - I can’t wait to return.
Came through here with family after Hershey Park. Several family members have severe gluten and dairy allergies but The 1762 was very accommodating. The owner came to introduce himself and told us his story about celiac and why he opened the restaurant! The staff were very friendly and helpful, kept our waters full. The food was exceptional. I had the crab cake sandwich and it was excellent. Probably the best crab cake I’ve had. The 62 burger, fish & chips, fries, and burgers were also delicious. I don’t live in Pennsylvania but will be coming back here next time I visit.
This was my first time at the 1762! I ordered the house moscato and one of the dinner specials, black and blue surf n turf. It was delicious!!
The service we received was great! Maria was very attentive and friendly. The owner had come over to our table a few times as well to see how our meal was.
My friends and I were all pleased with our meals. I will be back again soon.
Thank you for a nice evening.
Had a lovely dinner here tonight! I had the swordfish special and fiancé had the chicken and waffle sandwich. Food was excellent and the place was really lovely. The owner greeted and sat us and was very welcoming. We will definitely be back!
There was absolutely nothing wrong with anything at this restaurant. Dave met us at the front door and treated us like family. He even helped me try a new bourbon in my favorite cocktail. My husband and I had the fiesta corn dip which was wonderful. I had the special of black tip shark with broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, my husband and I split the new york style cheesecake drizzled with caramel. Our waitress was phenomenal. We will be going back as soon as we can!
We had a party of 12 here on October 5th, as a surprise late lunch/early dinner with both my and my now fiance's families to celebrate our proposal from that afternoon.
Calling to make the reservation was very easy, and they were very accommodating. My fiance has a gluten allergy so the wide variety of gluten free options listed was part of why I chose here. That was the right call, she was overwhelmed with choice and absolutely loved the crab cakes.
Everyone who worked there was awesome - flexible when my fiance and I were running a bit late and congratulatory on our proposal once we arrived.
Our entire party of 12, including my sister who is somewhat of a picky eater, really enjoyed their meals and have been saying since the day after that we need to go back. We definitely will be, and I cannot recommend the 1762 enough for a casual lunch or celebratory dinner.
Thank you again to everyone at the 1762 for helping make our proposal even more memorable with such a wonderful meal!

We were able to get in for a New Years Eve lunch before they closed for a special event. Staff was gracious, prompt, and attentive the whole time. Food was on point, and flavors were very good. Atmosphere was nice, with a good view from almost anywhere.
Desserts were visually appealing and overall tasted better than most Hershey restaurants. There was a heaviness to the flavor and feel of the desserts - very processed - compared to the robust main course foods we ate that were very fresh.
(One of the challenges with Hershey Entertainment owned restaurants is how much they may use Hershey Co products - especially in dessert items. Our experience at Trevi with dessert was more enjoyable than most. The Chefs here know their craft well enough to disguise heavily processed ingredients.)
The atmosphere is nice. Our seats were a bit chilly because we were placed right by a door that leads outside and it a freezing today. We were really expecting a lot more. I ordered the chicken dish and my husband ordered halibut. Both of our proteins were very dry. My asparagus had a lot of salt and was very unevenly cooked.I had asked the waitress ahead of time about the roasted pepper in my dish as I can not have any peppers and it was explained to me that it would be like a splash, similar to the pesto. Since it was in the rice, I could not eat any of it. The tops were mushy and the lower stalks had more bite. Overall for the price I would not recommend. The strawberry farroh salad from Chef's Market was much better.
First, it was a busy night and VERY loud. If you're looking for a romantic dinner, this is not the place. The food was presented nicely.
The Farro salad was LOADED with farro, a few over cooked pieces of Rabe, 3 pistachio pieces in the entire salad. The lettuce and beets were as described.
The Cesar salad was good, average nothing special.
The Pork Chop Parmigiano was excellent.
The Ricotti Ravioli was good, not great .
Our server was very busy and took almost 10 minutes to greet us. The manager was responsive and addressed the problem with the salad promptly and graciously. The hostess was also very pleasant and helpful.
Went there for my birthday dinner. We had grilled octopus for appetizer. I had the Tuscan steak for entree. The portion size was huge & it was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. My husband had the Branzino. He liked it but it was little dry for me as there was no sauce pairing with it. For dessert we had tiramisu which was so delicious.
Stopped in just for dessert while staying at the Hotel Hershey. Was seated on the outside patio, and the whole experience was relaxing and pleasant. Ordered the tiramisu and the Torta Caprese. Both were delicious, the tiramisu was not too sweet and had fresh cream. The atmosphere was amazing. Went on a weeknight, so it was much quieter than a weekend might be.

A beautiful restaurant located in the Hershey hotel. The service was good. The food was good. The view from the deck was nice. Not sure all of it added up to $100+ lunch for two. I'm glad we went to celebrate a special occasion. So we'll leave it there. Stop by and look around if you are there for the gardens or something else.
Wonderful dining experience in a world class hotel. The ambience and view was inviting and subdued in a serene setting. Our server, was kind, expendable with her time, was very open and proud of her long term employment with the Hotel Hersey and was gushing how well they are viewed and she found value working there. The food was 4 star quality, with huge portions, freshest of ingredients and flavor. My wife had a Chocolate Martini and was well "pleased". The staff complemented each other, and we felt no rushed dining experience and left both fully satisfied.

Excellent restaurant! Love the food; service Sarah was super professional and great recommendation on food! We had pork belly and calamari for appetizer… pictures of plates shows how well prepared the plates come to your table. It was delicious; rich in flavor! We’re all the way from Virginia and first time in Hershey totally worth it. Thank you.

We wanted to try this place based on reviews and the happy hour menu that we found online. We asked to be seated outside on the patio and after ordering drinks we found out that happy hour prices were only when you sit at the bar. That’s really my only complaint. We only ordered the queso, which was good, and cocktails. The watermelon martini is delicious. The atmosphere is great. We would come back.
The ambiance of the Mill is legendary. The appetizers and desserts were great, the entree which I got the Ribeye was cooked to perfection, but not seasoned. Lastly Service was good, but their only item to improve upon is timing at the table for checking in and ordering. Our waitress was polite and courteous.
We went for happy hour over the weekend and had a decent experience! We shared a hummus app and got burgers for dinner. We also enjoyed the strawberry mule and cucumber cooler. Overall a bit pricey for dinner but would go again for happy hour!
We stopped here for happy hour on a Friday evening. We got seated and I asked about a happy hour menu, only to be told that happy hour was only observed at the bar tables. Huh?? We would’ve stuck around for a second round but took off to another happy hour nearby. The drinks were good and the queso was great. No complaints except for the conditional happy hour pricing. Probably wouldn’t be back.
Meal and atmosphere were so good! Highly recommend getting the Mezze platter! That was our favorite part of the meal! The desserts were insane! Share 1-2. Awesome spot and prices weren’t too bad!
I came to the mill for the first time with a group of colleagues and I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and aesthetic of the atmosphere. The menu had great selections and I got the filet mignon. It was amazing!!! It was cooked perfectly and the asparagus and the potatoes were the perfect pairing. I also want to shout out our waitress who did a fantastic job with such a large group. She was calm, helpful and kind. I really enjoyed my experience here!
I had reserved a room downstairs and everything was taken care of. The servers were nice and on top of everything.
I’ve been here a few other times as well and the food is always good. It’s worth the stop.

Dunkin' is a beloved chain known for its signature breakfast offerings and an extensive selection of coffee drinks. Recently, I had the pleasure of stopping by one location with my husband and granddaughter, and we were truly impressed. The cleanliness of the establishment stood out, especially with their donuts displayed in glass cases that showcased their freshness. The staff at this Dunkin' location made our visit even more enjoyable; they were friendly and attentive, creating a warm atmosphere that felt like family.
My husband and I with our granddaughter stopped at this DD on our way home and we were so impressed. The place was so clean and neat. We were very impressed that the donuts were in glass enclosed cases. We bought donuts and they were fresh. We have been in a lot of dunkin donuts and this one by far, exceeded the rest. The 2 young people that were working there were so nice that I had to ask their names, Sophia & Mason. I will give this dunkin a 5 star any day and you can bet the next time we are in this area, we will be stopping again!!
Linda J — Google review
I come to this dunkin everyday and usually the service is amazing! I came through today and sat there for 5 minutes then was greeted with what do you want. The worker at the window was very disrespectful. My drink had things floating in it and i had to throw it away after asking her what was in it. My sisters coffee was not stirred and had clumps of syrup in it. I was not given a new drink and was asked why i was still here why waiting for my food! I would just like to say Mason was doing a great job but i was very disappointed in the service today!
Ordered two caramel crazes but only charged for one. The order screen was not working and I was only told my total ( not re-read my order).
So I paid for the second drink at the window and they told me it would be right out so I pulled up out of the way. The staff member began yelling out the window that I needed to pull around again. I asked if they could just walk it out and she said no I had to get back in line to get my drink - even though it was their mistake. Did not want to wait in line so one of my kids walked in. Never been to a place where they don’t walk out the food you are kissing.
They close at 8 and I get there 7:40, they're already cleaning up. I ask if they have donuts and they didn't seem excited to sell me anything, so I left. The district manager or franchise owner should look at the poor reviews and fix some of these issues, like hiring people who want to sell your product and make the business money. Thanks but I won't be back.
My order was nearly perfect. The young girl serving me seemed to be having a bad day though.
Nice location, orders usually accurate but for some reason every time my drink is so sticky I can’t hardly touch it
Awesome stop to start your day. Quick and easy in and out, there’s a drive thru too. Plenty of seating, handicap parking. Dine in, take out.
They were so busy, customers were rude and they still had a smile on their face. I love this location.

Not quite as popular as Hershey Gardens, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 7 hours.

Echo Dell Indian Echo Caverns is a must-see destination near Hershey, offering impressive limestone formations, underground lakes, and a gem mill. The well-preserved caverns are beautifully lit and off-limits for touching to ensure their conservation. Visitors can also enjoy petting and feeding animals outside the caverns, explore the large gift shop, and engage in gem mining activities. The guided tours prioritize safety while providing fascinating insights into the caves' history.
Really fun place, especially on a hot day! The cavern isn’t difficult to walk through and there aren’t many sections that might trigger claustrophobia. The property is beautifully maintained with fun animals and activities. Cute gift shop too!

Was very informative. Kids thought it was cool to see but talking was too much. They crowd the tours a little maybe 20/30 minutes in-between would be better then 15 minutes.
The caverns are beautiful.
The petting zoo is goats and 1 alpaca.
I really enjoyed visiting the cave. There are some springs with beautiful blue water, and the lighting inside makes it look stunning. What I found especially interesting is that we didn’t have to go deep underground—the cave is right by the river. Overall, it was a really fascinating experience!
This was a fantastic discovery along the way. The guided tour is very informative and fun at the same time.our guide pointed out to different types of rock formations, explained the creation of the caverns and told us stories about the rocks, their names and uses of the caverns. Well worth the hour of the tour. Note - leave your bags and backpacks in your car before going to the caverns.

A Hidden Gem Beneath Hummelstown – Indian Echo Caverns
From the moment you descend into the cool, echoing heart of the Indian Echo Caverns, it’s clear you’ve stepped into something extraordinary. This isn’t just a cave tour — it’s a time capsule carved by millions of years and told with passion by guides who actually know their geology and local folklore.
The formations inside are stunning — stalactites and stalagmites that look sculpted by divine hands, with a natural cathedral chamber that practically begs for a moment of silent awe. The history? Rich and real. From Native American lore to 19th-century hermits, every footstep tells a story.
The grounds are clean, family-friendly, and surprisingly well-kept for a site of this age. Even the gift shop felt curated rather than kitschy. It’s rare to find an attraction that blends science, storytelling, and raw natural beauty so seamlessly.
If you’re within 100 miles of Hummelstown, go. This isn’t a tourist trap — it’s a well-managed, respectfully preserved slice of the Earth’s ancient past.
Nicely set up. Guide Chris was amazing and a great story teller . Plenty of parking . There is about 71 steep steps to get to the cavern and up, so absolutely no strollers, wheelchairs or people with walking disability. Cavern is not as big as some other we been and not as beautiful , but still worth to have a day with family . 52’F in a cavern , so not too cold and long sleeve will do just fine . The cost is $24.50 per adult .they do have discounts for kids and seniors. They also have goats , lama, turkey , peacock etc, so you can bring carrots , apples , lettuce to feed them , they also have a dry feeder that cost $0.50 for a small portion.
A little mythical, a little factual, and a little off-putting. The cavern is beautiful. When you arrive, you notice two large beautiful birds- peacocks, in a cage that disallows them to fly or spread their wings much. On a day like today, when it was scorching (95 degrees F) the birds just sat on their perch in their cage like exhibits when they deserve much better. You take approx 75 steps down to the cave and back up. It’s 52 degrees F with dripping throughout, so you may want to bring a light jacket, but it’s a great escape on a hot day. Some people had a tour guide walk them down to the cavern providing history. We did not. Our tour guide was waiting at the cavern for us. He was knowledgeable about the caverns and provided many details and answered questions. Part of the tour was spent telling mythical stories about a mummy, a dragon, and a giant— the kids enjoyed that. There was some history and facts shared about the caverns. It’s small, unique, and pretty. The tour lasted about 30 minutes. It is slippery, with some low formed rocks (watch your head) with minimal walking- maybe a half mile total. No backpacks or strollers permitted. Front facing child carriers permitted. There was plenty of parking, a gift shop, gem mining, a few animals to pet.
What a wonderful little experience! The caves are way bigger than I expected, and the tour was full of knowledge and fun facts. Absolutely recommend this if you're anywhere near.

One of our favorite places to minigolf! We love coming to the this place. My kids actually ask me to plan a day so we can drive out to Chocolate World and stop here to minigolf for the last several years. Beautiful well-maintained grounds. We have golfed 11 different courses this summer and this one is on our top 3 favorites.
Minigolf course is nice, a bit aged but still good fun. Seems like some of the tunnels for the balls to drop are a bit misaligned. Still a good time. Didn't do the arcade at all but was open late and relatively ok price. Would go again. Good for kids.
My family and I visit here often and love it. The arcade games are affordable and have a decent variety of games. The mini golf has more holes then many other places, and they are more challenging but fun. My only complaint is that age 3 and younger should be free to golf, but they make all ages pay to golf, including my toddler who just kicks the ball around and doesn't even play. The food is decent inside, but a little high priced. The batting cages seem to have good pricing. My son wants to try that next time. Overall a fun place for the whole family
Not as big or fancy as a Dave n Busters, but still a great local fun place for the family. Play the games, win some tickets, get some prizes. They have some really cool stuff you can save tickets for and then some trinkets and candy if you want to cash in quick. The young lady working the counter was friendly and good with the young kids. The miniature golf was pretty good. This place was a good value for a family on a budget and we all had fun!
Visiting Hershey and had a half day available, we found this place while looking for mini golf in the area. What a place! Course is challenging and fun, albeit a bit dated. The arcade is reasonably priced for a wonderful selection of games!!! Spent a couple hours here and ended up coming back again the next day!! For anyone having a kid's party, the package offered here seems like a good deal. Even for us 2 old folks, we had a blast and would visit again! It was especially fun handing out our game tickets to the kids playing the arcade games and seeing the look on their faces when given free prize tickets. Fun times!!
The mini golf course is really nice and surprisingly difficult! It has 21 holes so slightly more than usual. I wish they would give the interior and exterior a new paint job, it looks very dated and almost dirty. The ice cream is affordable 👍
A must visit! Fun games, reasonable prices, duck pin bowling, putt putt, batting cages.

Craft store
Olde Factory, originally built in 1898 as the Hummelstown Shoe Factory and later transformed into The Harrisburg Silk Mill in 1919, is a favorite destination for antique enthusiasts. With three floors filled with unique finds from various vendors, visitors can explore a wide array of items. The establishment offers convenient amenities such as an elevator, air conditioning, and heating.
Very large antique store with a ton of vendors. As others have mentioned it does get warm in there especially on the second and third floors but they ventilate as best they can. I found a number of uranium pieces to add to my collection and with the volume of vendors in there I will frequently come back to search for more!
Tyler H — Google review
I thoroughly enjoyed shopping there! There is no end to what you may find while you are there. As the old phrase goes, they have everything there, but the kitchen sink! However, in this case, you'll probably find that, too! I did see old wash tubs there! Lol! 🤗
When you go, plan on being there for a long time. That place is H U G E!! They actually have 3 floors! Each floor is as full as the one before. It's incredible!
You will find such a huge array of things there, from antiques, crafts, decorative paint, jewelry, collectibles, seasonal decorations, all kinds of electronics through the years gone by, furniture 😀 and the list litterly goes on and on.
They do have some shopping carts to use and plenty of baskets to carry your items. Or, if you prefer, you can take your items up to the service desk, and they will put your items aside while you shop.
There are A LOT of stairs to go from one floor to the next. I did find out later on that they do have an elevator to use if you prefer it over all of the stairs. I wish I had known that sooner!! Lol!
They also have very nice and clean rest rooms there.
There is handicapped ♿️ parking. When you go in the front door, there is a long ramp, perfect for anyone who has difficulty walking or in a wheelchair. They also have some chairs places throughout for you to take a rest if needed.
I've included quite a bit of pictures for you to check out what they are like and have.
Happy Shopping!!
I give "The Olde Factory" a
4 ☆☆☆☆
(one reason that I didn't give it a 5☆ is because there are quite a few vendor spaces that are a disaster. There are piles of things just stacked up on top of themselves. You cannot even look at what they have...lost sales.)
Very nice staff. Endless rooms full of goodies. VERY thankful for elevator.
What a wonderful collection of treasures. I loved the painted elevator doors
Great place. Three stories. Handicap accessible. There's an elevator and stairs. Chairs throughout the building. Found a lot of music, decorations, jewelry, etc. Does get pretty hot inside when it's super hot outside.
Update 5 July 2023: I'm tentatively adding one star for apparent attempts by staff to be less surly. Signs apprising customers of their ridiculously early closing time are at helpful, at least. They have lowered the volume & abrasiveness of their, "We're closing soon, so, seriously, please pay & leave" announcements"!
But really, not ever, on any day of the week open past 5pm? Why?! They need at least one open-late evening!
**************
The staff here apparently despises their customers. Unpleasant and unhelpful, and you can't leave soon enough to please them.
And when they make announcements over their PA system, particularly the ones where they're telling you to get out ASAP, because they're just dying to close, you honestly expect to suffer hearing loss from the harsh, distorted squawking coming from the loudspeakers. Really obnoxious.
It's a shame because they usually have a pretty nice selection and the prices aren't bad. My family and I have bought a lot from them over the past few years, but no more. We prefer to patronize businesses that make their customers feel welcome and appreciated.
Was in town for my son‘s baseball tournament. Decided to check this place out. Definitely worth a look! A lot of vendors and plenty of variety for everyone. Prices vary from vendor to vendor, as can be expected, some sellers were looking to get rid of things others to get rich.
I loved this place and it has many unusual treasures. That said, it is cramped and surfaces crowded, hard to see everything and pricing is pretty high. Recommend if in the area.

The atmosphere is cool, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. Visitors can enjoy the chill vibe while sipping on brews like the House Porter or the Soul Breaker NEIPA.
We've been wanting to come for quite a while and we finally found ourselves on this side of town. What a fun place! Drinks for fantastic, food was amazing! We will def be adding this restaurant to our list of rotating, great restaurant in the area.
Roland F — Google review
The food was great! The service was great! If we lived in the area, we would definitely return. My only complaint was that it was very hot in there. Now, we did visit on one of the hottest days, but still. It had to be 80+ degrees inside.
We tried four of the beers and liked almost all of them. I thought the Mexican lager was a bit sour. We really loved the Duke.
My youngest son loved the pretzel and the fries but not the cheese sauce on the nachos. I ordered the brisket french dip and it was twice the size I was expecting. My oldest son ordered a pizza. It was way bigger than we were expecting also. My husband ordered the salmon sandwich and loved it.
Cute restaurant and the staff were amazing, unfortunately we didn’t love the food.
Details:
They serve coke products (love that)
Philly Pretzel Braid-really good would def recommend.
Mild Wings-okay but were mushy. The blue cheese had a dill flavor which we didn’t like.
Smash Burger- soggy, flavor was okay. Fries were not good, severely undercooked. Pickle was disgusting, wasn’t a dill or sweet pickle and was warm and soft.
Brisket French Dip- the bread was the only thing I liked, meat was tough and didn’t have much flavor.
Service was fantastic; all of the staff were so nice. Our waitress was fast too.
Super cute inside with table and bar seating. Also has outdoor seating. there were games over by the bar like packman and darts
Had this place recommended and finally stopped in. We had a great time and really enjoyed our dinner and drinks!
We came in on a Monday evening and were able to get seated right away, even with a larger party. The whole place has a great vibe with the industrial, brick exposures. Inside is a nice size with a bar and plenty of seating. TVs and some games throughout as well. There is an outdoor patio in the front as well.
The food here is delicious! Everyone in our party was happy with their meal. The pizzas are great and definitely shareable. I would recommend the Mike's Hot Honey Chicken Stromboli and the Salmon BLT. Great portions and very well made.
They have a great selection of their brews! Whatever type of beer you like, they make. The Aunt Shandy is fantastic - a perfect summer shandy and easy to drink! Wish they made it available to take home.
Rubber Soul is a great spot and worth checking out!
We had an amazing experience at the Rubber Soul last night. We had a group of 14 and the staff was amazing. Taking our request in advance and making sure we were coming. The table was ready when we arrived.
When we arrived we had an amazing server, Katlyn, she was able to keep all of our orders straight and was able to help us with allergy issues very easily.
The food was amazing. I had the Soul Burger and my wife had the Lobster Tacos. Throughout the group, everyone was very pleased with the food. Even with a large party the food came out quickly and for everyone.
The atmosphere was also amazing as well.
We highly recommend this Brew Pub for dinner or for a group.
My wife really likes to try different beers, so we ordered 5oz pour of their beers to make our own beer flight. My favorite is the Cerveza de Cocina Hint of Lime, it is refreshing and light. The appetizer, soul nacho, was family sized and could easily feed 4 adults. The Mediterranean bowl was different than I thought and was a bit too sour for my taste. I’ll probably try something else next time. The service was good and attentive, our waitress checked on us several times and our food arrived quickly.
Grabbed lunch here and it was so fun! Quick service, HUGE portions, and good beer. I highly recommend the Nachos: melt in your mouth brisket + pickled onion + corn and queso style cheese made for a perfect bite. Top 3 nochos I’ve ever had and it’s enough to feed at least 3 people.
Rubber Soul Brewery in Hummelstown has a really great vibe and a beautiful atmosphere 🍻✨ I absolutely loved how the inside looked—very clean and stylish, and the staff was kind when we first arrived.
Our waitress was very sweet and helpful with my dietary restrictions, which I appreciated so much 🙏 I ordered the seafood tacos (plain), and my husband got a chicken sandwich.
Unfortunately, once the food came, no one checked on us again. My shrimp and lobster were extremely overcooked and rubbery, and my husband’s sandwich was very dry. The fries were double-fried and too crunchy—something I recognized right away after 21 years in the restaurant industry 🍟
The server only returned at the end to offer more drinks and drop off the check, without ever asking how our food was 😕 It left us disappointed, and sadly, we won’t be returning.
That said, I hope others have a better experience, because it really is a beautiful place with potential. 💛

A nice and beautiful little area situated near a cute little lake. People love to fish in this lake. There is a walking trail goes both ways from the park area. trail is used by walkers as well as bikers. YOu can see lots of families, couples and children near the area during sunny days. Trail goes through wilderness and end up in residential areas. Hershey Medical centre is situated near by. Sunset is very beautiful to watch from one side of the trail which is having an open space with green. There is ample parking for 10-15 cars. Wheel chair access to fishing is available.

So this is a small corner community park with fishing pond and connecting trails up the hill, down to Hershey West and Shank Park. It's a beautiful property and the trails are paved, clean and well maintained. I had 3 bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.
This place is beautiful and such a great place to walk the trails are well kept. One of our new favorite trails spots!
Beautiful trail around a tiny lake/pond. Porta potties, gazebo, ducks, geese, picnic tables, benches. Fun for kids and adults.
We always come to this sweet park and trail when we visit Hershey. The trail runs along the creek, is wide and paved so easy to ride bikes, push a stroller, walk dogs (leashes on). It’s a serene setting and captures the beauty of the natural environment seasonally. Recently there are goslings!
A great little 3 mile hike up and back in the Hershey area. It does have an incline but is not difficult. It's definitely cooler during the summer as most of it is shaded. I included some fall pictures as that is my favorite time to go there. Enjoy!
This park is small, but popular, well taken care of and a great spot to bring your dog or children. There are a few tables to picnic at and space to toss a Frisbee or kick a ball around. The pretty pond has a gazebo and benches where you can sit and watch the geese. Several walking trails lead to this area, with one of the trails leading directly to a bigger park, which has a playground.
It’s a nice place to sit down and relax

I’ve been coming to this Rita’s for a while, but after tonight, I’m really disappointed. I came to meet friends and got in line at 8:52 PM—well before their posted closing time of 9:00 PM. My friends were just ahead of me and placed their orders, but when it was our turn (only three people behind them), the employees abruptly announced they were done taking orders and closing by saying “WE’RE NOT SERVING ANYONE ELSE TONIGHT” and shut their blinds.
It’s frustrating that three staff members couldn’t handle a short line, and worse, my friends said one of the workers was visibly upset, almost throwing a tantrum and shouting that they were closed as soon as they saw people still outside. That kind of attitude is really unprofessional.
Customer service at this location has gone downhill, and it’s disappointing to see how little regard they now show for customers. We recommend cubby’s down the street. Support a small business with kind staff that is always excited to see customers!
I love Rita's so much. I finally tried their cheesecake custard and it was totally delicious. I had it with raspberry ice, but then yesterday went back and had the mango ice. Both Are fabulous, our family really loves this establishment.
Always have to stop by when I'm actually near a location. Wished their were more Rita's in other states! Custard was super smooth & tasty as usual. 😋
Counter service excellent Italian ice. My wife and daughter love to get a treat here.
The Rita's Reeses Concrete is a must for peanut butter lovers. Staff is awesome!
Stopped in after going to the less than stellar antique store next door. Their blackberry Italian ice was amazing.
by far the worst experience ever the little lady that took my order had an attitude paid my money she made the drink wrong and then got mad at me because I requested the right drink and I told her I don't work there I asked for a particular drink and you gave me the wrong drink and you're mad that you have to fix it

Had lunch downstairs and was amazing. Salads were fresh and crisp, Salmon was cooked perfectly grilled, and steak as well. Server, Austin, was the highlight of the meal. We never ran out of drinks, he was very attentive and knew we were thirsty on a hot afternoon, so he always showed up with water or tea in hand. Hard to find great service like that anymore, a real gem. We will be back soon!

We had a nice meeting for work Iron Valley Real Estate in the barn space. Everything is very well done. It is a beautiful atmosphere. Great for receptions, party's, dances, events, etc. Great space, plenty of parking. My personal favorite is the upstairs loft.
My wife and I went out with another couple last night. We decided on Englewood. The atmosphere was great. Very large dining area, and our server Colette was very attentive.
The food was equally good as the service. I got the cuban sandwich, which was very tasty. They actually used pulled pork meat and not some meat patty like other places that I have experienced.
We also got class, oysters, salads, and bruschetta as appetizers. All were yummy.
Wouldn't hesitate again to come here for a good meal and nice atmosphere.
Excellent dinner at the Tavern. Baked oysters were a flavor filled start. The duck was cooked perfectly, fancy but not pretentious was how my partner described it. The sausage was equally tasty with a nice spice to the sauce. Our first time, we will definitely be back.
Excellent place to unwind in Hummelstown. There is a music venue on the upper floor and a bar, with both inside and outside seating areas and a fire pit. Perhaps, the best place in Hummelstown to grab a beer and get better food.
Best place near the park! If you want a solid meal and great atmosphere definitely come here. Outside seating is available with music inside and out back. Got a pizza and chicken Caesar sandwich which were both really good
My husband and I come here regularly and have always enjoyed both the food and service. Last Friday evening, we sat on the patio for a late dinner. Our server, Callie(?) greeted us and brought water while we looked over the menu. After that, however, she never returned. We sat for a half an hour or more without food or drinks while she socialized at other tables. We finally left the patio to go to the bar, where she continued talking with the table beside us and showed no concern. Thankfully, the two bartenders were excellent. They provided friendly, prompt service and turned the experience around. The server, however, could use a serious lesson in customer service.
We have come here twice now and both times our servers were amazing, the food and drinks were phenomenal. Service was quick and effecient too! This time we had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, and you can absolutely tell they put their heart and soul into it. We are so glad they are right around the corner from us and we will absolutely be making this place a habit. ❤️

Nice park, many open fields to play games. Disc golf course. Connects to a long walking trail at the back that leads all the way to the Hospital. Multiple soccer and baseball fields. Two hard site restrooms and multiple portapotties. Two playgrounds. One with swings.
Shank Park is well maintained and scenic with a good mix of open space and wooded trails. Excellent disc golf course!
Added bonus you might see baby deer walking about with their mother!
Nice trails, and athletic fields. There’s a few baseball diamonds and some nice flat soccer fields that I think are open to the public when they’re not in use. There’s also benches and picnic tables and nice views (especially if your at the top of the hill that parks on). The trails are really well maintained, there’s a big circle trail that’s partially smooth concrete and partially ‘nature’ (which just means hard packed dirt, rocks, and roots mostly through the trees) and the concrete trail continues for miles outside of the park so if you want to bike, skate, scooter, blade, run, or whatever you’ll grab plenty of trail to do it on. The nature trails you can’t used wheeled things on but they’re nice for running and walking (I got in a 10k ((6.2 miles)) and I didn’t have to run the same part of the trail more then ounce and I didn’t even reach the end of the concrete trail that continues out of the park so like I said there is plenty of trail to use). Parking lot on the bottom of the hill is good if your there to play disc golf, parking lots at the top are for the rest.
Love this park so much. We take our pup here almost once a week. It’s very spacious and for some reason there’s hardly anyone else there! So we are able to let him run around in the open fields, though wouldn’t recommend if your pup would run off of course. Love the walking trails throughout.
Great park , plenty of parking for all soccer fields . 8 soccer fields spread out over massive rolling hills . Beutiful views . Hiking trails throughout park. Also Frisbee golf course here.
Just a great park with vast amounts of room picnic, barbecue, or family get togethers
Shank park is great! The disc golf course is solid. There is plenty of room for dog play dates and the nature trail is great for walking. Plus the paved trail connects to bull frog park
Fantastic park. There is multiple parking areas for the different sections of the park. There is multiple baseball fields and soccer fields. There is walking trails as well scattered throughout the park. Excellent place to bring the family. There is a disc golf course in the park as well. Handicapped parking and port-o-pottys around the park.

Fantastic flavor combinations and menu options. Recommend the smoked wins with cherry pepper sauce! Serves is also outstanding.
If you are ever in Hummelstown PA looking for an amazing meal with a pleasant atmosphere this is the place. I ordered the cheesesteak which was absolutely phenomenal so much flavor and nice texture the meat was juicy and the bread had the perfect crunch to mix with the gooey inside. Out server Jennifer was so nice and the service was quick and everything came in good time and exactly how ordered. David was incredibly kind and funny it was nice to see him walking around interacting with every table the whole time. From the food selection to the amazing service and kind staff I highly recommend checking out this restaurant.
One of the best experiences I've had in a long time at a restaurant. The food is by far excellent but the staff is superior. I can't say I've ever felt more welcomed at a restaurant. Can't say enough about the owner and staff. Can't wait to visit again!
Nice relaxed atmosphere, service was great, timing of our meals was also good. The food was excellent and the menu had a nice variety. Will definitely be back.
Had a great time. The ambiance is unmatched. The bartender (Jerry?) Was the best!
New in town from Arizona and just relocated to the Area. Stopped at this restaurant to have a nice dinner to my surprise I was very disappointed. I came in me and my boyfriend and was pretty hungry from being pretty busy all day. He ordered the filet mignon and I ordered the prime rib special. Our dinners came his was perfectly cooked medium rare, my prime rib looked like a steak well done, the waiter took it back to be recooked came back again well done apparently they don't know how to serve prime rib, when I ordered medium rare, ,but the insulting part is that I sat there, while my boyfriend ate his and waited for mine. Then mine came again ( I was starving ) so I ate it, and they took off $10. 10 lousy dollars! Manager never came over to explain or say sorry for waiting forever for my food and it being wrong twice or any other communication or comment good customer service you will definitely not get at this place!!!!! The waiter said sorry, but not the same when management doesn't come he stated the manager said I could take some money off. wow. Will never recommend this place again to anyone, nor will I ever come back was quite expensive for the meal that you got anyway, and was completely awful. What a disappointment! Me and my boyfriend, go to a lot of restaurants, for that's what we do, we are foodies and I can guarantee you this restaurant will not serve you a good meal if that's what you're looking for!!! And absolutely horrible customer service.
Staying nearby for the night and ordered take-away from here. The server who took our order was great. They explained the choices /options and repeated back our order. Everything was ready for pick up exactly when they said. All items were prepared as we wanted and everything was hot upon pick up. The food itself was tasty and we got a lot of food for our money. We especially liked the Thai chicken wrap, boneless wings, and burger. Other items were not bad—just not as good as these things were. Would definitely recommend take out for the combo of quality, price, and service.

We stumbled upon this place by accident. And what a great accident! The ice cream was really delicious! Cute indoor and outdoor areas. . . Lots of games on the deck, sidewalk chalk area...very kid-friendly! I had the black cherry, almond jamocha and mint chocolate chip. Soooooo yummy!
Wonderful ice cream shop! Made to order milkshakes any thickness you want! Very cute inside and they make their own waffle cones!
So glad we found it on our trip!
Saw this 4.8* and wanted to try while on vacation.
Holy cow. The best most creamiest hand made ice cream we’ve ever had. Previous winner was Curly’s ice cream in NJ but this now takes #1 spot for us.
We tried their signature ice cream. S’mores. Now we know why. It’s amazingly creamy and soft, with amazing flavor. 10/10. Must have. If we didn’t live 4hrs away, would love to bring the pints back home.
The kids wanted Cotton Candy flavor. That’s 8/10, not as creamy, and flavors slightly off. I’d pass.
Their homemade ice cream is second to none! The blondie is amazing! The ice cream flavors are creative and delicious. The team is very patient and engaging! They also have a "pay it forward " board to pay for someone who you think would appreciate the gift. I love this place!
Excellent ice cream, lots of sprinkles, and great value. The “single” is pretty good for an after dinner dessert, I could barely finish it. The coffee ice cream was very good. I get coffee ice cream most ice cream shops I go to and it’s really hit or miss. This coffee ice cream was excellent. The waffle cones were big and sturdy. They have a sprinkle bar where you can top your own ice cream. Lots of seating inside, lots outside. Plenty of room for even a large party. They also have some sodas and ice cream in containers to go.
While visiting the area, my first stop was to grab some ice cream and I’m so glad I stopped here! They had a great selection of flavors and my all time favorite- Cookie Monster! The ice cream was amazing! Great flavor and consistency and an excellent amount of add ins. The homemade waffle cone was the best I’ve ever had! Definitely stop here and satisfy your sweet tooth!
Super delicious ice cream, gorgeous, instagram-able shop, generous servings and incredibly helpful and kind staff. There’s nothing bad to say. Definitely worth a stop! Also the waffle bowls/cones are house made and delicious

G's Boro Bar & Grill in Hummelstown is a casual establishment with a diverse menu featuring wings, burgers, and fried dishes. They also offer game-day specials and serve beer. The bar has a relaxed atmosphere and the wings are particularly impressive when ordered dry, complemented by their excellent selection of sauces and dry rubs. The blue cheese dressing served with celery is top-notch, consistently containing generous chunks of blue cheese. Their fries strike the perfect balance between crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors.
My wife and I really enjoyed a night out here. Came after seeing other good reviews. Wings are great. The shrimp basket was tasty and the fries are fresh cut
Charles A — Google review
Food, great! Service ehh, the cooks? Laughable. So I was there with my brother and they got the wrong order gave him a different flavor of wings. No big deal, then I made joke “watch them run them under sink and just throw on your sauce.” We laughed. They did just THAT!!! It was so evident that the old sauce soaked the fries below his chicken wings. Honestly, it tells me don’t trust them with your food allergies. Because as I was laughing at the thought, they actually did just that! What are you even doing? That’s insane
This bar is a great hidden gem just outside of Hershey! The have amazing cocktails and food. They also feature speciality drinks and weekday specials. Prices are super reasonable and food portions were good! I had a hamburger with Boros fries which were topped with cheese and bacon. My boyfriend had the cheesesteak and we both shared some mild wings Philadelphia style.
Nice little hidden gem in the Hershey area. Cozy bar. Good wings. Can't beat it
BEST WINGS IN THE STATE as far as my tastebuds are concerned! Crispy, fresh, sauce for days (I asked for extra wet) Mango Habanero was so flavorful with a hint of spice (I love very spicy so medium for me) DELICIOUS! Jasmine the bartendress was perfect and had a contagious laugh. Must have if you love wings and sports
The food was phenomenal, at least the wings I had were 😂. I'm sure everything else was great considering how crowded this place was the evening I visited.
I'm not from the area. I was in town for business and picked this place at random. Next time I'm in the area I'll be making a stop here. I hope it's more of the same.
Oh, and they have a decent beer menu ⭐⭐⭐
Can’t go wrong with the boro basket! A bit crowded on game nights but they know how to make a solid wing
This is a great place to meet friends for a drink, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Ok bar food but not very mush on the menu for those trying to eat healthy

The staffs were extremely helpful and friendly here. I bought a beautiful jar. Plenty of parking spaces.
Crossroads Antique Mall is a treasure hunter’s dream! There’s so much to explore across multiple floors, and every corner has something unique. Whether you're into vintage furniture, quirky collectibles, or just browsing for fun, there’s truly something for everyone here. I could’ve spent all day wandering around and still not seen everything. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Went Saturday 11/1/25, and the checkout was mobbed. Patiently waited. The older woman on the side check out just finished with her customer, then just made a phone call. There was literally about 5 people after me waited to be checked out. The other lady was busy with customers. The older woman never said, "next", looked up . My husband had to go to her to ask if she was open after waiting and waiting. She rudely said, she has no idea who is next. I said that would be me! Checkout was fine until I asked my delicate antique could be wrapped in newspaper. The look she gave me!!! I had to leave.... rudest service ever. I will absolutely never go again.
Very nice antique shop. Only thing was me and my partner were being followed like we were thieves the entire time no matter where we were in the store (both upstairs and downstairs). It was more than just someone being available to help us if we had questions, they were constantly watching us. It was just too much. At the end of the day we spent over $80
So many treasures to be found. But the staff are a bit over bearing like they thought I was stealing or something? I'm not sure. But some stalls are too crowded and I was terrified of knocking stuff over. Also prices were pretty high.
Cute antique store in a barn. They have quite the selection of antiques and what I especially love is anything related to the history of the town - lots of books, Hershey memorabilia, canisters of Hershey Chocolates from back in the day. Then there's the usual fare - china, jewelry, etc.
Lovely little place with the cutest things!!!! Bought a beautiful pearl freshwater necklace and earring set for 10 dollars!!!!!!!?! Unbelievable. Also a great, huge selection of antiques. Be it clothing, jewelry, furniture, collectibles, glassware, records, ETC.! They have it. Stop by if you’re on your way to Hershey for the day or to the park! :)

Bill's Restaurant is a charming old-fashioned spot that serves up delicious homemade breakfast and lunch. The place is cash-only, so leave your credit cards at home. The prices are unbeatable, with a French toast and bacon combo for just $5.99! While the butter might be hard as a rock, the food and service make up for it. It's a great place to grab some eggs and bacon for breakfast or enjoy a simple sandwich for lunch.
Perfect cozy small family diner. The staff was super kind and friendly. The food came out nice n hot n the prices were very reasonable for a family to eat in a time where everyone is price gouging. We will definitely be back. :) :)

Good diners are cheap and tasty but not too greasy. This one is probably the best one in the category I have had. Very inexpensive, popular, the food is just perfect. No credit cards.
Visiting from Utah and found this quaint Mom and Pop diner. Best breakfast I've had in a very long time. Service was fast friendly and the atmosphere is like grandmas kitchen in old town America. Highly recommend!
Bills' staff is loving, the interior is welcoming, and the diverse menu has unbeatable prices! If you are looking for a filling breakfast, this is the place to go.
Looked on Google Maps for somewhere for beeakfast near the hotel after the Hershey RV show. Saw Bill's and we gave it a go. Great little place. Belgium waffle, cream chip beef, and grits were awesome. Cool little town around it too. Now off to the Indian Eco Caves.
Exactly the kind of small business we should all be supporting! The service at Bill's was beyond excellent — our waitress treated us like family, and that's something you just can't find in the cold, sterile atmosphere of chain restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly the food came out, and even more impressed with the quality and flavor of everything we ordered. We were in the area for a basketball tournament and decided to give it a try — so glad we did! I only wish we had a place like Bill’s back home in Albany, NY.
Great family restaurant. Food is good, staff is friendly and attentive food is home cooking
Fell to love with the old tin ceiling and walls. Cash only and they provide an ATM.
My friends and I ate at this diner on a weekend trip to Hershey. It was a perfect, quiet diner with excellent food, service, and prices. I tried scrapple for the first time and loved it. We even went back hear for breakfast the next morning.

The Soda Jerk Diner & Dairy Bar is a retro-style diner and ice cream bar located in Hummelstown, PA. This 50s-themed eatery offers an all-day breakfast menu along with a variety of American, Greek, and Italian dishes. The establishment has a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of the 1950s era. In addition to its food offerings, the diner also features an ice cream bar serving up delicious frozen treats.
Our family had lunch here yesterday while we were visiting the Harrisburg, PA area for a few days. We thought the food was excellent as well as the service. The menu has breakfast items like eggs, french toast, pancakes and more that are served all day. The menu also has burgers, sandwiches, salads and various entrees.
We loved the diner atmosphere and decor and the stools at the counter. We would visit again the next time we are in the area.
Keith F — Google review
Atmosphere was great. Very clean and greeted as soon as we walked in and seated. Waitress was very polite and was courteous and professional. Only issue we had was our appetizer came out at same time with our dinner which serves no purpose of ordering appetizers. You would think they would have delayed the meal slightly maybe 5 min. Fish and Chips and was ok but nothing to rave over. 3 small pieces of fish. Wife had roast beef and she said it was good.
We discovered this gem in 2009 while on vacation to Hershey. For 16 years we have discussed and remembered and dreamed of returning. We are so glad we got the chance! The food was outstanding and the staff was so friendly. I have recommended this place to so many friends and will continue too!!! It would have only been made better if our now adult kids and been with us to enjoy it again!
Classic 50s themed diner with full menu and Greek options as well. Home style food and large portions make this a locals favorite. Save room for dessert!
Such a cute diner! I really enjoyed that it didn't feel "themed", it just felt like a well-preserved time capsule. The server was great, and all of the food was hot and served in ample portions! The kids meals also came with a scoop of ice cream
We always make a point of trying a local diner while travelling; we tried this diner while visiting Hershey and it did not disappoint! We had such an amazing experience. Our server Can was so candid and hospitable. He ensured we had all the right food and accommodated my dairy allergy. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Second time here as I am from out of town... First time and this time as well we all sat at the counter... Service was great food is good prices are reasonable... The have a wide variety of items on the menu... This place is 100% retro style... A 50's 60's style Diner....
We found this diner on Google and based on the reviews, menu, and pictures decided to try it. It was the best food experience we had on our week long trip. Arianna was our server and didn’t steer us wrong on any recommendations and had a wonderful experience. We ordered a Philly wrap, shepherd’s pie, crab stuffed fish (I can’t remember what kind), Reese’s cup sundae and a vanilla scoop with their homemade hot fudge. The portions were huge, fairly priced, wide range of menu items, and everything came out quickly. The service was fast (a server was literally running), friendly, and would highly recommend.

Nestled in a secluded spot, Forrest's Feed Co. is a charming barbecue joint that might be easy to miss without its distinct signage and the inviting aroma of wood-fired smoke. The menu boasts the popular Forrest & Jenny combination, featuring delectable pulled pork and brisket sandwiches paired with flavorful sides. Despite its rustic appearance, this gem is conveniently located just off Hummelstown's Main Street.
Winner winner brisket dinner! After travelling around all afternoon trying to find something to eat without having to wait in crazy drive-thrus or going to a place with BBQ in their name who didn't have any BBQ available on an early Friday afternoon I decided to try this place out. Reasonable price for a brisket sandwich, pleasant service, and good smoky flavor. I shall return.
Scott H — Google review
The best BBQ restaurants are the small local joints, and this one is just that. I stopped in for a needed break from riding, and I was greeted with a smile and warm welcome. I ordered the brisket sandwich and a side of slaw. It was a beautiful day and chose to eat outside. There are five large picnic tables which were clean. There is a standing shelf against the building if you prefer to stand. There is one table inside.
The sandwich and slaw was brought to me outside and my first thought was “will I be able to zip my riding jacket after eating this?” There is a generous portion of brisket and it comes with four homemade pickle slices and a small container of slaw on the side for the sandwich. Sorry, I downed a pickle and poured the slaw on the sandwich before thinking about a picture for the review. The bun was fresh and the brisket was delicious. The slaw was delicious and the cabbage/carrots still had crunch to it, very fresh.
They have bottled products for drinks in a refrigerator with a good selection of soda, water, and teas.
I paid $22 all in, and it was worth every penny!
If you’re in the Hershey area and you’re looking for some quiet spot to get away from the tourist crowds and eat some very good BBQ, give Forrest Feed Company a try.
Great little BBQ place right in Hummelstown. Perfectly cooked meat and tasty sauces. Potato salad made the meal that much better. Would come back here again.
Takeout order. Brisket, half rack, slaw and mac-n-cheese.
Brisket was fine, some pieces juicy some dry. Mac-n-cheese was craamy and tasty. Slaw was standard. Ribs were absolutely terrible, over salted and dry.
Improvements suggested. Slaw needs less mayo and more tang and pepper.
Ribs were likely not basted or sprayed enough and likely not wrapped for the final temperature rise. Way, way less salt in the rib rub.
Brisket has potential.
Excellent service and very friendly.
We live in Hershey and slept on this place. Our mistake. We tried the pulled pork, mac n cheese, slaw, and fries yesterday and everything was excellent. They waited until I was there to pickup until they packed everything and dropped the fries so it was all hot amd fresh. A+++
When I walked into this place, I got some cozy, old shack vibes. The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches are really great and smoky, but they were a bit stingy with the pickles and coleslaw. Overall, very good food.
This place looks like it belongs in the far out countryside, but it's actually just off the Main Street in Hummelstown. It may not be easy to locate unless you know to look for a shack with red roof and a big black hog silhouette logo, behind some regular looking houses and parking lot. There are only 2-3 parking spots right by the shack, but I believe you can park in the lot behind the shack as well.
Inside is an ordering counter with chalkboard menu in front of it, along with 2 medium sized tables and a short stretch of overhang along the wall. On a good weather day, there's a picnic table outside. Bottom line, not too many places to sit on a busy day.
I ordered from the menu from their website which has "The Smokestack" for $12 (not listed on the chalkboard menu). I had thought it was a platter, but it's only a sandwich, so to me it's a bit pricey, granted they did give me a lot of proteins. Per the menu description for The Smokestak: smoked brisket and pulled pork smothered with Blacksmith BBQ sauce, with sharp cheddar, bacon, and pickled pepper and onions. Unfortunately, the pepper and onions were missing. That said, the meat was cooked really nice - moist, tender, and tasty. The bacon, on the other hand, was tough and cold.
The staff/manager was friendly, and they take credit cards. The restroom was clean. Overall, a great place for BBQ.
Solid BBQ place. I felt there could be some
More flavor in the meat. I enjoyed the macaroni and cheese spin with bacon and tomatoes. Their baked beans and potatoes salad where 5 stars. The young men working there were friendly. The outside eating was perfect for a summer day!

Nestled behind businesses along Chocolate Avenue, Au Bon Lieu French Creperie is a charming French cafe that offers an extensive selection of 50 sweet and savory crepes, alongside salads, coffee, and tea drinks. The thin and delectable crepes attract a diverse crowd of patrons, from teenagers to families and college kids to grandparents.
My boyfriend and I went here for lunch today. There was one person handling everything- seating, taking orders, cooking, and taking payment. He handled everything wonderfully and quickly. The food was absolutely delicious! We shared numbers 17 (Turkey Breast With Mozzarella, Fresh Spinach And Cranberry Sauce), 44 (Mozzarella With Fresh Spinach. Sautéed Mushrooms, tomato, And Artichokes), SP5 (Cookie Butter With Banana And Homemade Caramel), and 203 (Belgian Dark Chocolate With Fresh Strawberries) with the addition of the homemade caramel sauce on it. Wow! The savory ones were a great start but the sweet ones stole the show! The caramel sauce and the chocolate were amazing!! Definitely wished we lived closer so we could come here more often!
Christine A — Google review
What an unexpected and delightful place!
We were fortunate to find this place by a Google search for breakfast near Hershey Park and then be seated by the table best positioned to view the crepes being made. The food was wonderfully delicious and presented with little designs in the powdered sugar atop the sweet crepes. The dark Belgian chocolate was rich and creamy, but the best part was the caramel sauce. I didn’t realize before what superior difference there is between well homemade caramel sauce over what you buy in stores.
The savory crepes were somehow even better than the sweet crepes and even my kids who don’t usually go for some of the savory crepes enjoyed these. We had the turkey and cranberry.
The gentleman making the crepes couldn’t have been nicer and it was obvious he was dedicated to his craft. The whole place was clean, with a welcoming ambience including music. The whole place has a charming feel to it.
The prices were extremely reasonable given what we ordered and don’t reflect the higher prices they would easily garner elsewhere.
The food and the service at Au Bon Lieu are absolutely fantastic. The couple that owns this great little crepe bistro are so warm and friendly and the crepes are amazing.
The maestro of crepes is right there cooking up all the goodness and providing great tips with a side of humor, which he is quite funny.
His wife is very warm and charming and welcomed us to have a seat and took our drink order.
The coffee is pour over and absolutely delicious. I’ve found my new favorite coffee in Hershey.
Starting off with the savory breakfast crepes I had the Salmon, Mozzarella, avocado crepe with egg. And others at my table had the mushroom spinach and the mozzarella, spinach, tomato and they were all excellent.
Then, moving on to the sweet crepes, good Lord are they amazing. We had the hazelnut strawberry, the chocolate, Caramel and toasted pine nuts, the chocolate banana, and the lemon crepe. They were all amazing and so tasty as well.
This place is definitely worth stopping at, I know we will definitely be back on this visit and many to come in the future.
Truly a gem of a restaurant.
Just stumbled upon what might be the best-kept secret in town—and it’s wrapped in a crepe. Sweet, savory, vegetarian, gluten-free… this little spot has it all. Each crepe is a masterpiece, crafted with care and bursting with flavor. Honestly? I’ve never tasted anything quite like it.
If you’re rolling through Hershey, don’t miss this delicious detour. Your taste buds will thank you.
An unexpected visit in my quest to find a place to eat that had parking! Glad I stopped in and experienced the delicious crepes, made with love and finesse by Farid. This is an informal cafe where you mark up your own order form with the number crepe you want, and they only use disposable plates, cups and utensils, but don’t let that fool you. The food is excellent. Farid demonstrated how he makes the popular No. 203, the Belgian chocolate crepe with a huge solid “bar” of chocolate, warmed up by the hearing surface, directly on to the crepe! Fun to watch and truly delicious, with thinly sliced strawberries and dusted with confectioners sugar. Two thumbs up! My first crepe was the No. 12… It was a savory with chicken, mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions… Very satisfying. Bonus round was Fahid’s other most popular request, the No. 701 lemon crepe. Deceptively simple to prepare but wow, so tantalizing! I’ve put this cafe on my map of places to return to when I’m back in Hershey!
We came in as a family of 7 and tried 13 different crepe! We highly recommend this beautiful, family oriented, restaurant. There is not one crepe that we could chose as our number #1.
I love coming to this place at all times of the day when it's open. I have brought family, friends and colleagues here due to the close proximity to the Hershey office (walking distance). The best part is watching the owner making the crepes and most of all when he uses the giant chocolate bar for the chocolate crepes. The owner is the nicest person and I love going here. My last visit was on a particularly quiet week night with friends. We were the only people there and it was awesome. The crepes itself are delicious, whether you like sweet or savory they got you covered.
The best crêpes we’ve ever had! Even the coffee is unbelievably fresh. You can tell he takes his time with each order, making every crêpe absolutely perfect.
We tried the breakfast ham and turkey with cheese and spinach, plus a dessert crêpe with caramel and chocolate. Everything was outstanding, the eggs were cooked to perfection, the cheese was rich and melty, and the crêpe itself was both crispy and tender at the same time.
The shop has such a warm and friendly vibe, kids can draw on the table while waiting for our order. Super clean, welcoming, and the perfect spot to relax, hang out, and enjoy the best crêpes you’ll ever taste. Out of this world!
