Itinerary

Day 1

Depart via deluxe motorcoach for a festive holiday tour to Hershey, PA. Spend 2 nights at the brand new HERSHEY INN & SUITES, featuring a lobby bar and indoor pool. Welcome dinner marks our arrival before riding through HERSHEY SWEET LIGHTS. Sit back and relax while viewing 2 miles of over a million sparkling lights and 600 enchanting animated displays.

Day 2

We begin our day with a visit to HERSHEY CHOCOLATE WORLD where you can ride the animated tram to learn the chocolate making process and shop the neat gift shops for those stocking stuffers. Visit the HERSHEY STORY MUSEUM where you’ll go on a journey through amazing museum exhibits on Milton Hersey’s life, his chocolate company, his generous philanthropic legacy and the town of Hershey. We head to SIGHT & SOUND THEATRE in Lancaster this afternoon, to experience the brand-new show, “JOSHUA”. From the banks of the Jordan River to the towering walls of Jericho, JOSHUA is a miraculous adventure for the whole family. Journey alongside the people of Israel as they navigate their new-found freedom in an unforgiving wilderness. When Joshua is called to replace Moses as their faithful leader, tensions mount in the midst of dwindling supplies and approaching armies. With one last fortified city standing between the Israelites and the Promised Land, unexpected help emerges from behind enemy lines and Joshua’s trust in God’s plan is put to the ultimate test. Smorgasbord Dinner at the HERSHEY FARM RESTAURANT before returning to Hershey.

Day 3

A visit to the NATIONAL CHRISTMAS CENTER is a nostalgic journey through the magic of Christmas past and present. Enjoy festive displays, holiday traditions, and heartwarming exhibits that capture the spirit of the season. Head for home with warm holiday memories.
