Hershey Park
You can’t get much closer to Hershey, Pennsylvania if you’re searching for a town that runs on chocolate. From a model village constructed only for Hershey employees to a chocolate-themed American relic, this home of the most famous American chocolate bar has blossomed into a chocolate-themed American relic.
This isn’t your normal candy store, so make sure you’re strapped in. A year later, Milton Hershey constructed a baseball pavilion, and a year later, he opened the site that would become Hershey Park. The park has added a water park, The Boardwalk at Hershey Park, and rides named after popular candy favorites, and even a zoo. All since the first ride, the merry-go-round, was established in 1908. You’ll almost work up an appetite trying to figure out how to do everything.
New York City
There are delicious goodies around every turn, including the interactive M&M’s World, the 16-story towering Hershey’s Time Square store, Jacques Torres Chocolate Café, and Dylan’s Candy Bar. When every sweet delight is within reach at all times, it’s easy to become restless. Although there is no Grand Central for confectionery, most of the best businesses are within walking distance of one another.
In addition, most retailers carry a large assortment of toys and presents featuring your favorite treats. Dylan’s Candy Bar, a New York favorite, is located in Uptown. You can not only get practically every candy you can imagine, but you can also get a sweet candy-holic drink. While the youngsters go as crazy as kids at a candy store, there’s something for the adults to do.

Las Vegas
Whatever occurs in Vegas remains in Vegas. Unless it happens at one of the many candy-themed attractions in Vegas, please take some home! Candy fans can see a model of the M & M’s sponsored #38 NASCAR race car, watch a 3D movie at M & M’s World, or dine for two at Ethel’s Chocolate Lounge.
You should know about the Ethel M Chocolate Factory if you like Snickers, Dove, or Twix. The Mars family, our favorite chocolatey family, owns this chocolate factory. Ethel Mars was the mother of Forrest Mars, Sr., the man who founded Mars Inc. and gave us some of our favorite foods.
On this factory tour, you can see how the Mars family creates their high-end chocolate. There’s also the Ethel M Botanical Garden to walk off any free samples and make room for more. While learning how to play poker, treat yourself to chocolate poker chips from Vegas Image.

Wolfgang Candy has relaunched as Wolfgang Confectioners, bringing the company’s 97-year run as a business-to-consumer enterprise to a close.
