Friday on Chocolate Avenue, Saturday at Hersheypark, Sunday at Chocolate World.

4:00 PM

Stay at Tru by Hilton Hershey Chocolate Avenue.

A contemporary Chocolate Avenue hotel close to central Hershey, suited to families prioritizing an easy return from the park and straightforward hotel amenities.

6:30 PM

Start with The Mill in Hershey.

A contemporary American restaurant in a converted mill setting, suited to the planned town dinner rather than a quick meal beside the park gate.

8:30 AM

Start with I&E Craft Kitchen.

A central Hershey kitchen with a contemporary, locally minded menu that can fill the breakfast, brunch, or casual-meal slot depending on current hours.

10:00 AM

Start Hersheypark with the rides your group named before arrival.

Coaster fans can open with Candymonium, Wildcat’s Revenge, Great Bear, Fahrenheit, or Skyrush; mixed-age groups can pair family rides with Kissing Tower and ZooAmerica.

4:30 PM

Use late afternoon for The Boardwalk, the hotel pool, or a dry-clothes break.

When The Boardwalk is open, decide whether water rides own the afternoon. Otherwise use shade, a room break, or a short pause before the evening coaster block.

7:00 PM

Reserve dinner at Fire & Grain at Hershey Lodge.

Hershey Lodge’s restaurant for guests who want a contemporary dinner on the resort property without another drive after check-in.

9:00 AM

Start Sunday with I&E Craft Kitchen.

Start with breakfast near town, check out, and drive to Chocolate World for the free tour before the retail floor and ticketed experiences fill the morning.

11:00 AM

Take the free Chocolate Tour before the drive home.

The default Sunday stop is the free tour and one chocolate treat. Use Hershey Gardens instead when flowers and the Butterfly Atrium matter more than another indoor attraction.
