The Wonderful World of Hershey


Hershey Pennsylvania is truly a town which everyone should visit at some point in their life. Driving through the town, you see the Hershey Kiss shaped lights and the still functioning Hershey Chocolate Factory. Hershey Pennsylvania is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes away from Bucknell and is home of Hersheypark, Hershey's Chocolate World, and the North American Wildlife Park, ZooAmerica.

Hersheypark has a wide variety of rides from kids and family rides to more thrilling rides. The park has 11 roller coasters and 9 water attractions including a giant wave pool and a lazy river. For information on current rates and hours go to http://www.hersheypark.com/.

Be sure to stop by Hershey's Chocolate World to purchase your favorite Hershey's products. Learn how Hershey's chocolate is made by hopping on the Chocolate Tour Ride. The tour begins in the tropical rain forest where cocoa beans grow. Learn about the processes which turn the beans into the wonderful chocolate we all know and love.

ZooAmerica is home to more than 200 animals and 75 species. Go to http://www.zooamerica.com/ to get a sneak peek at the animals at the zoo and for more information on prices and hours.
