  Hershey Trolley Works

The BEST way to see Hershey!

Our trolleys are stages, our conductors are performers, our shows exceed peoples' expectations year after year. 

​Whatever trolley you choose, you'll experience the inspiring story of Milton Hershey and the main sites of the town that bears his name: the original chocolate factory, Mr. Hershey's birthplace, Highpoint Mansion, Chocolate & Cocoa Avenues, the Hershey Kiss Streetlights, HersheyPark, and Milton Hershey School.

Historical Trolley Tour
~70 minutes for the history buff!

Picture
Explore Hershey on this in depth, sightseeing, chocolate-tasting adventure.  Our highly knowledgeable and  entertaining  conductors will take you through the Hershey of today, then travel back all the way to a time before there was a town, or a chocolate factory, or even chocolate in America.  We then journey through the inspiring life of Milton Hershey, visiting the  sites of town he created, and tasting the chocolate that made him famous.  We end with an exclusive, spectacular view of the Sweetest Place on Earth from the “Welcome to Hershey” hill.   

The whole experience lasts about 70 minutes and runs 7 days a week except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. We are also closed on Tuesdays - Thursdays for the first 6 weeks of the year.

        

​Holly Jolly Trolley opens November 14

Picture
A joyous family tradition: a trolley show that's completely Christmas themed.  PLUS...  one of the characters we meet is a certain, jolly old elf who recognizes the children in the audience from his “nice list.”  We have Christmas caroling, heartwarming stories from the life of Mr. Hershey, and a present for everyone.  

The Holly Jolly Trolley shows started our first year! More families come back year after year after year for this show than for any other (literally...audience members come to us every year to tell us this is their 15th or 20th and even 25th year attending )!  Folks who brought their kids when they were little are bringing their grandkids today. Ride along and you'll find out why.
​
The Holly Jolly Trolley show lasts approximately 40 minutes and runs Fridays - Sundays from November 14 - December 21, then every day through January 4.  Closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

​Sweet Lights Trolley opens November 14

Picture
The Sweet Lights Trolley is different from our other trolleys.  It is not a tour of the town or a show.  It is a relaxing journey through Hershey's Sweet Lights, the incredibly popular, drive through holiday light spectacular presented every year by HersheyPark. Our host gets you in the Christmas spirit, leads you in Christmas carols, and has Hershey's chocolate for everyone. Our exclusive private entrance into Sweet Lights can save you significant wait time in your car, plus there's no need to move your car out of the parking lot in the first place. 

The length of this experience varies. It's 50-60 minutes in light traffic. On Saturday evenings it can take 90 -100 minutes even with our own private entrance. Sweet Lights Trolleys run Fridays - Sundays from November 14 - December 21, then every day through January 4. Closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 Summer Family Trolley will be back in 2026
45 minutes of fun for all ages!

Picture
Enjoy a light hearted show through America's Sweetest Town. Our actors introduce you to folks from Hershey history. They've got stories to share, as well as songs, and of course... chocolate!

You'll be amazed at just how many characters can hop on and off the trolley in one show.  And we guarantee that you will not find another trolley experience like this one anywhere.  
​
This is the show that put Hershey Trolley Works on the map way back in 1988. The whole experience lasts approximately 45 minutes and runs 7 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. We'll also be running the show on weekends starting April 12.

 Trick or Treat Trolley will be back in 2026

Picture
 ​The Trick or Treat Trolley show focuses on the joy of being a kid (don’t we all want to dress up and go trick or treating?) and the love Mr. & Mrs. Hershey had for children which led them to start the Milton Hershey School, the focal point of their amazing legacy.

The Trick or Treat Trolley is a seasonal variation of the Original Trolley Show. The whole experience lasts approximately 45 minutes and runs on select weekends in September & October.
