Hershey - What To Do

Neither of us grew up in the Hershey area. We both came here to take our first jobs, moving into mostly unfamiliar territory. However, in the 5+ years that we've both lived here, it has truly become home to us. Unless the Lord would move us, we can't imagine leaving this area. It's just such a neat little place. It's also the perfect place to visit! If you're coming from out of town and have time, why not stay an extra day and make a long weekend out of it? Here are a couple ideas to get you started on things to see and do!

Hershey's Chocolate World
Open year round, this is great fun for people of all ages (and we're not just saying that)! Learn how chocolate is made on the Chocolate Tour, take in a 3D show, visit a huge candy store and take a trolley ride around the town of Hershey. Chocolate World also has various cafes and a food court -- all in one spot! Spend as much time here as you'd like. You could spend an entire afternoon here. But if you're pressed for time, you can take the Chocolate Tour and visit the candy shop in just over an hour.

Cocoaplex Cinema
1150 Cocoa Avenue . Hershey, PA . (717) 312-1300
Looking for something to do after the reception -- this is the closest movie theatre. Oh...and if you go, check out Fire Alley next door -- it's sorta where we had our first date.

Ed. Note: Actually, it's where Troy asked Angie if she'd like to start dating him. And although he asked her during dinner, which he paid for, they weren't technically on a date.

Evangelical Free Church of Hershey
If you're looking for a church service to attend on Sunday morning after the wedding, may we suggest our church home -- Hershey Free.

Ed. Note: Don't be confused -- Hershey Free is Angie and Troy's home church, but their wedding is being held just down the road at Fishburn United Methodist Church. Hershey Free is hosting a large missions conference the weekend of their wedding and was unable to accommodate them. And in all honesty, the main sanctuary at Hershey Free is a little too big for their wedding anyway, so they were actually looking to find a smaller space. In that vein, the Lord provided Fishburn UMC!

Here are some other ideas, albeit all slanted toward Hershey Entertainment & Resorts owned operations -- but let's be honest, they pretty run the town anyway!
