LOCAL ATTRACTIONS IN HERSHEY
THE IRON HILL BREWERY
101 West Chocolate Avenue • Hershey, PA 17033
Phone: (717) 312-5164
During the Revolutionary War, a fierce battle is fought atop Iron Hill, outside
of Newark, Delaware. Soldiers fight for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness –
unaware that in more than 200 years, a group of Delaware locals will exercise that right
to pursue happiness by opening a brewery right down the road. They will name it Iron
Hill in honor of what the soldiers fought for.
Just in time for their official 20-year celebration, the team brings back a medal
from the Great American Beer Festival. It is, serendipitously, their 20th consecutive
year bringing home a GABF award.
HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD
251 Park Boulevard, Hershey, Pa 17033
(717) 534-4900
The Free tour experience shows Hershey’s chocolate making process. It begins in the
tropical rain forest where cacao beans grow. As the beans are harvested, follow their journey
across the ocean to America, where they are delivered to The Sweetest Place on Earth –
Hershey, Pennsylvania. Then engage your senses as the cocoa beans continue through a
simulated Hershey’s Chocolate Factory. Here you will see, feel, and hear the processes that
deliciously transform the beans into milk chocolate. Using real factory equipment, you can
choose the ingredients and watch your candy bar actually being made on the assembly line.
You can also design your own wrapper and add a personal message.
