Planning / How-to Tips

On this tour you walk by all of the production lines - Kisses, Heath bars, chocolate syrup. It may be the closest you'll get to a Willy Wonka visit. Needless too say you'll be sucking in air infused with chocolate aroma. (When I got out of my car, the air smelled like Reese's.) At the end of the tour they give you a fresh Hershey bar. A few years after going to this Hershey plant I went to Hershey, Pennsylvania. There it was more of an amusement park / museum type setup and we couldn't go into the factory. If you're in the San Francisco bay area I highly recommend a trek to the Hershey factory. http://www.hersheys.com/discover/oakdale.asp
