I agree with you- it was such a HUGE disappointment. I think I was expecting it to be something similar to the Disney experience. We did not even get a free chocolate sample at the end of the car ride that you mentioned. Later, we also decided to take the 45-minute trolley ride through Chocolate town. We were under the impression that they would take us to the factory where we'd be shown the chocolate making process. Nothing of the sort!! We were just given a brief history of the town and an overview of what the place had to offer. They gave us exactly 3 tiny pieces of chocolate during the ride and we were asked not to take more then that as the bucket of chocolate was passed around the trolley. We paid 26 dollars for 2 people- an absolute waste of time & money, in my opinion. We could have just driven around in our car itself! The only saving grace of our trip was our visit to the Hershey Garden. I don't think I'll recommend Hershey, PA to anyone! <abbr><em>TBC’s last blog post..<a href="http://thebuddingcook.blogspot.com/2009/05/lemon-cupcakes-with-greek-yogurt.html" rel="nofollow">Lemon Cupcakes With A Greek Yogurt Topping</a></abbr></em> Oh, I wish I’d seen this before we visited the chocolate factory yesterday!
