Forget what you expect a trolley tour to be...
Our trolleys are stages, our conductors are performers, our shows blow away 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.

Runs all year:
Historical Trolley Tour
It bears repeating. Forget what you expect a historical tour to be. This is a one of a kind sightseeing, chocolate tasting experience. Our highly knowledgeable and entertaining conductors will take you through the Hershey of today, then jump back all the way to a time before there was a town, or a chocolate factory, or even chocolate in America for that matter. We then journey through the inspiring life of Milton Hershey, visiting the historical 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 75 minutes and runs 7 days a week except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

the Original Trolley Show
You will not find another trolley experience like this one anywhere. It is the original! It's a family-friendly journey through the inspiring story of Milton Hershey and the main sites of his town. You’ll meet some of the important people in Mr. Hershey’s life, share their chocolate, laugh at their jokes, sing some of the good old songs with them, and marvel at just how many characters can be squeezed into one show!
This is the show that put Hershey Trolley Works on the map way back in 1988, another reason to call it the "Original" Trolley Show.
The whole experience lasts approximately 45 minutes and runs 7 days a week.

Trick or Treat Trolley
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 weekends in October.

Holly Jolly Trolley
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 12 - December 20, then every day except Christmas through January 2.

Sweet Lights Trolley
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 12 - December 20, then every day except Christmas through January 2.
