  • Chocolate is happiness or so they say. I found the Hershey historic center very interesting and fun. Not a bad combination.

  • Took our 4 year old granddaughter and she was fascinated by the train garden...25 buttons to push to activate scenes on the layout. I wish we had allowed more time so she could have enjoyed the hands....  more

  • This was an exceptional visit. The lady at the desk was very knowledgeable and took the time to accompany myself and my friend around to explain where everything was from and the history of the museum. In the bathrooms they had pictures of old outhouses as well as some outhouse fixtures on the wall which I thought was really cute. It was very informative and I learned a lot about the dairy Hershey area
  • Not child friendly. We thought it would be a good rainy day activity, but while we were there one of the employees came and told me the 1yr old was crawling too loudly. He was not crying, or yelling; he was not behaving badly. It was just the sound of him crawling, and I guess it was a problem for them. ETA: Yes, of course I was supervising the children. anyone who knows me knows that I do not hesitate to talk to my children and remove them from the situation if they are behaving badly. they were not behaving badly, and they were not harming the displays in any way. No one was telling me to supervise them or keep them from harming things because they were not behaving inappropriately and were nowhere close to harming displays. They were not yelling, laughing, or talking loudly. It was just the sound of the baby crawling. There was no one else there looking at the displays that day, and most people would not have considered a crawling baby to be too much of a disruption.
  • Small, but worth the price. Kids 3 and under are free. They have an interesting hands on discovery area for kids. Also they have a few interesting items for the Hershey Bears History section.
  • Great small town historical museum. Very nice staff. We were here for about an hour and could have stayed longer even with small children.
  • This place is an amazing venue!
