New for 2021 Culinary Offerings

Inspired by the vision of chocolate entrepreneur and our founder Milton S. Hershey, an all-new, full-service restaurant, bar & patio, ice cream parlor, and confectionery kitchen will open early this summer season in Hershey’s Chocolatetown.

The Chocolatier Restaurant, Bar + Patio features past and present pieces from the Hersheypark ride collection, one-of-a-kind views of neighboring attractions, and a second story patio with a bar. The Chocolatier celebrates the life and legacy of Mr. Hershey by continuing to bring people together for happiness, fun, and of course, chocolate.

The Sweeterie Confectionery Kitchen is led by Chef Cher Harris, Corporate Pastry Chef. Get excited for a curated collection of mouth-watering confections including chocolate-dipped treats, decadent desserts, signature hand-crafted fudge, and more.

Milton’s Ice Cream Parlor is inspired by Mr. Hershey‘s early ventures in sweetness that came before his famous chocolate factory. Expert Ice Creamologists will craft custom creations from house-made ice cream, Hershey’s candy toppings, decadent sauces, and more.

These additions will complete the $150 million transformational expansion of Hershey’s Chocolatetown. The 23-acre development is home to Candymonium, the tallest, fastest, longest and sweetest coaster at Hersheypark; an entirely reimagined arrival experience; all-new shopping; the first-ever Starbucks inside Hersheypark; and more.
