About The Hershey Story Museum
The Hershey Story Museum traces Milton S. Hershey's journey from struggling entrepreneur to chocolate innovator through museum exhibits exploring his early failures and successful revolution of milk chocolate production. Visitors follow his life, his company's legacy, and the founding of Hershey, Pennsylvania in permanent displays and rotating special exhibits. The Chocolate Lab offers hands-on classes where guests can make their own confections. Hershey's Chocolate Tastings let visitors sample chocolate from around the world. A Scavenger Hunt engages younger visitors through the museum galleries. The museum also features Lisa's Cafe and a museum shop. Located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the museum opens daily. Combo passes bundling museum admission with Hershey Gardens cost $29 for adults (regularly $34), $28 for seniors 62+ (regularly $32), and $23 for ages 3–12 (regularly $26). Active duty military receive free admission; other military, veterans, and first responders get $3 off with valid ID. EBT cardholders from any state pay $5 for ages 13+. Teachers receive $3 off with school ID. Details are at hersheystory.org.
