While back in Pennsylvania, we visited “The Sweetest Place on Earth” aka Hershey Park. We didn’t have a lot of time, but we ride the “Hershey’s Great American Chocolate Tour” ride. If you have not been there, you get into a little cart that takes you on an automated tour of a virtual chocolate factory. At the end, they take your picture… and my favorite part, give you some free chocolate. Here is a brief description from their site:

“Our new tour experience features updated scenes, animated characters, innovative special effects and a spectacular finale!
Your tour begins in the tropical rain forest where cocoa 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. This fun and informative ride concludes with a free sample of HERSHEY’S great American chocolate!”
