Itinerary
Day 1
Depart via deluxe motorcoach for a festive holiday tour to Hershey, PA. 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. Spend 2 nights at the HERSHEY LODGE, so elegant at holiday time... high post and beam ceilings, exposed stonework, a roaring 4 sided fireplace in the gracious lobby. 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 the HERSHEY GARDENS. The Conservatory features a year round indoor Butterfly Atrium with hundreds of tropical and North American butterflies. 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 “MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS”. Go back in time and witness the greatest birth in history. Be surrounded by the bustling village of Bethlehem as camels, horses, donkeys and villagers pass by. Be transported to the hillside where legions of angels descend upon the shepherds to proclaim, “The Savior is born!” Dinner tonight in Lancaster before returning to Hershey.
Day 3
Visit BYERS’ CHOICE, see incredible displays of famous Caroler figurines, watch the artisans creating, painting and costuming. Explore PEDDLER’S VILLAGE, beautifully decorated Victorian-style, with fruit wreaths and greenery - lovely for strolling and visiting their many shops and restaurants. Head for home with warm holiday memories.
