I love chocolate! My favorite candy to eat includes Hershey Bars, Reese's, Twix, and Kit Kats. These candy bars all have one thing in common: they are made with chocolate! A few years ago, I took a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania. On this trip, I visited Hershey Park. Hershey Park is an amusement park and museum that shows how these delicious chocolate candies are made! When you first arrive at Hershey Park, you can go inside the factory and take a tour to learn all about the history of Hershey Chocolate. Afterwards, you can wander around the park. The park has many wild rides, games, and food stands to enjoy. I loved my trip to Hershey Park and I bet you will too!
