Chocolate World policy?

[pedaler73]

I have plans to go to Hershey's Chocolate World on Friday with my girlfriend, so that we can take her 17-month old daughter there for the first time. Anyone know their policy on OCing? Or would it be better to CC instead?

We're also going to Bass Pro Shop after, since we'll be in the area. I already know their policy on OCing, but I'll make sure to make a copy of that policy in case we run into an uninformed employee.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I got that...but does it really count for Chocolate World? It says in the park, but Chocolate World is technically not inside the park.

I'll just CC so that no problems are raised.

I was gonna point out the "in the Park" also...but then figured it probably carries over to the whole 'experience"...

FYI: If you havent gone just for Chocolate World before...as you pull into the lot stay left to follow the signs that say Chocolate World...they have a 2 hour limit for FREE parking in that lot. If you're only doing CW than 2 hours should be plenty of time...

Thanks, I'll definitely look out for those signs then.

As was pointed out, there is a specific Choco World only parking lot, right off Rt 39, instead of keeping right and going into the parking area for the Arena, and the Park (as you come off Hershey Park Drive/ from Rt 81 or 743) keep to your Left, entrance is on the left, free parking and generally empty this time of year.

Never tried OC there, but CCd more times than I can count, and every time we have out of town visitors who want the experience.

Really? I've only seen bag checks...and that was going into the park itself. The building for CW generally just has some uniforms mulling around inside the doors...but not doing much of anything.

I'm sorry, I skimmed over and misread, It was the park, not CW...

Don't OC there. When they say the "Park" they are referring to the entire property. CW is on the same property as the park and is commonly referred to as the park. I've CC'd there many times without issue.
