Must-Do’s

The charming town of Hershey, Pennsylvania also offers a wide variety of things to do, so if you’re planning a winter getaway for two, here are a few of our favorite winter must-do’s in Chocolate Town:

Pamper yourself & your loved one with signature chocolate-inspired couples spa treatment packages from the Hershey’s Kiss Package to exclusive Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Treatments at The Chocolate Spa.

For a true one-of-a-kind experience, get hands on with a fun-filled & beginner-friendly Chocolate Lab class at The Hershey Story Museum where you can taste chocolates from around the world, hand-roll traditional ganache (Janine’s favorite) & learn more about the sweet love story of Milton & Catherine Hershey.

Toast to the perfect winter getaway with a Signature Hershey’s Chocolate Martini & enjoy a deliciously-sweet candlelit dinner for two at one of the 12+ date-worthy dining experiences throughout Hershey. We love the warm & inviting vibes of 1933 Restaurant & Tavern. When we arrived, our sweet server Lindsay greeted us with a “welcome home” which was a nice treat. For our visit, we dined on fresh oysters, a pan roasted crab cake with the most amazing black garlic puree, a wagyu Denver steak (our first time trying this cut) and a cast iron filet. Our entire meal was perfectly prepared and full of flavor & the service was spectacular as always. We ended the night with live entertainment every Saturday in the cozy Iberian Lounge and two more of the sweet seasonal cocktails: a chocolate-covered strawberry martini & first-date glitters.

Rekindle the first-date vibes a la Rocky & Adrian by ice skating hand-in-hand around the home of the Hershey Bears, Giant Center or outdoors at the Hersheypark Arena where you’ll feel like kids again, only this time Mom and Dad didn’t have to drop us off 🙂 When we visited on Valentine’s Day (a Saturday), the crowds were low and it felt like we had the whole rink to ourselves!

Calendar for February and March 2026 showing events at HERSHEYPARK Arena and GIANT Center, including skating hours, age-based pricing, and contact information.

Enjoy cuteness overload with Zoolentine’s Day at ZooAmerica & watch as some of our favorite animals enjoy Valentine-themed treats & toys made with love by Zoo Naturalists. We love a good zoo, and there is always something fun happening over at ZooAmerica!

Celebrate all things love with puppy dog kisses and Valentine’s wishes with a visit to Hershey’s Chocolate World where you can snap a photo on weekends with everyone’s favorite beagle, Snoopy! This is a fantastic meet-n-greet and it was one of the best character interactions we’ve had since The Grinch. If you’re near Chocolate World this winter, we highly recommend you stop by & see Snoopy. We even grabbed a few snoopy-themed souvenirs to take home to our Gucci girl.
