The sculpture is a display piece and is not available for tasting. Do not touch its protective enclosure, lean against it, place belongings on it, or allow children to climb near the display.
Lighting, protective panels, nearby merchandise, and crowds can produce reflections. Move slightly to one side rather than using a bright camera flash.

Walking from Nearby Resorts

Tips Before You Go
Use the Current Weekly Hours
The official HERSHEY’S location page currently lists 9:00 a.m.–12:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 9:00 a.m.–1:00 a.m. Friday through Sunday.
Visit Earlier for Smaller Crowds
Morning and early afternoon can be easier for photographs, personalization, and browsing than weekend evenings.
Set a Shopping Budget
Free admission can quickly become an expensive candy and souvenir stop. Check prices before filling custom containers or ordering elaborate desserts.
Do Not Expect a Factory Tour
This location is a retail experience. It does not provide a working HERSHEY’S manufacturing-line tour.
Do Not Expect Free Tastings
Samples may occasionally appear during promotions, but complimentary tasting is not a guaranteed everyday attraction.
Supervise Children
Keep children nearby around stairs, merchandise, candy dispensers, glass displays, food counters, and heavy pedestrian traffic.
Respect Displays
Do not open packages, eat unpurchased candy, pull dispensers without a purchase container, or touch protected chocolate artwork.
Ask Before Professional Photography
Tripods, lighting, staged shoots, interviews, commercial filming, and large camera equipment may require property approval.
Check Receipts and Storage Conditions
Chocolate can melt quickly in a parked vehicle or while walking outdoors during warm weather. Plan how purchases will be transported and stored.
