We came on a Sunday afternoon in November, and he was on cloud 9 the whole afternoon. We did both the main museum and the chocolate lab experience, ($78 for the three of us) and I wanted to do the chocolate tastings of chocolates from around the world, but the lab and museum were already expensive enough. I love museums and thought the museum portion was particularly well done. Very informative, well laid out and easy to follow. Lots of interesting information about Milton Hershey's life and the empire he built. The chocolate lab experience was 45 minutes and a little hokey. "Making chocolate" amounted to a quick arts and crafts project using melted milk and white chocolates, followed by a power point presentation on how chocolate is made. The museum store has a lot of fun things for purchase that I assume you can't find outside of Hershey, such as chocolate colognes. Overall we had a good time and would recommend it as a fun place to spend and afternoon with kids.

Well visiting and in York, PA, I stopped this past Thursday July 3, 2025, to physically say I checked out the shoe house. The shoe house was build by Mr. Haines back in 1948, to promote the launch of selling his shoes. From other fellow Yelpers, they stop tours 3 years ago. Now the property is an Airbnb, who wouldn't love to say hey let's rent the shoe house. My advice, if your checking out an area, you never been do some research, as too notable sites in the surrounding areas of your location. Fun photo opportunity, though my picture taken by kids by a little blurry in the sunset, still perfect view of the house from the street.

Living in Central PA my whole life, I'd passed the infamous Haines Shoe House on Rt. 30 more times…read morethan I can count--but I never stopped to check it out...until today. On a warm September Sunday morning, it made the perfect low-impact first adventure of the day. A little research ahead of time is key: the Shoe House is no longer open for tours. It's now an Airbnb rental (going for $300-$800+ per night), but the property owner does allow visitors to stop and admire it from outside the gated fence. You can't get super close, but close enough that your phone's zoom works just fine for photos. Parking is inside the gate for renters only, but we lucked out as the only visitors and were able to pull off to the side of the road by the driveway for a quick peek. So--was it the most thrilling thing I've ever seen? No. But it is a house shaped like a shoe--48 feet long, 25 feet high, 17 feet wide--and that alone makes it worth the bragging rights of, "Hey, I saw a giant shoe house today!" Plan for no more than 10 minutes here, since you can't go inside, but it's a fun roadside oddity and a nice addition to a sunny fall adventure. Just be respectful of the owner's request to stay outside the fence--no need to ruin this for anyone else. The Haines Shoe House even has a Historical Marker from the Pennsylvania Museum Commission, recognizing both its quirky place in local history and its unique "Programmatic Architecture." Cool, weird, quick, and very Central PA. Definitely worth a pit stop.

Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop in downtown York is such a fun and unexpectedly massive candy experience…read more From the moment you walk in, it's clear this is not your typical candy store. There's a mix of vintage candy, modern treats, international finds, and playful novelty items all packed into a really creative space. One of the most memorable details was the humor throughout the store like a toilet display with candy "coming out" of it which really sets the tone for how fun and lighthearted the whole place is. Beyond candy, they also had cool extras like funky socks, giant rubber chickens, and even a train that runs overhead through the store. It feels like part candy shop, part novelty museum. I especially loved their prank section and soda selection. I tried a pickle pop soda and a cabbage water soda (definitely an experience), plus the viral-style fruit ice creams. I also grabbed a couple truffles cookies and cream and tiramisu which were a nice sweet finish after all the adventurous finds. The staff was nice. They helped me with some questions that I had. One thing to note is parking in downtown York you'll either be using a garage or street parking, but it's worth it. The store is much bigger than I expected once you're inside, so give yourself time to really explore. Overall, it's a super creative, family-friendly stop that's more than just candy it's an experience I'd definitely go back to.

The chocolate characters were just the chocolate candy's with faces on them to bring them to life. So strange. It felt like I was walking in some strange video game with poorly programmed NPCSs.
