  • Ep. 232 - Hershey has the biggest amusement park in Pennsylvania and may often have the scent of chocolate in the air but it is much more than that! We visit this beautiful town as we travel full-time in our self-built Ford Transit campervan with our cat in search of free and interesting things to do in the "sweetest place on earth."
    FREE THINGS TO DO IN HERSHEY, PA (Featured in this video):
    - Hershey Gardens: Hershey Gardens opened in 1937 with Milton Hershey’s request to “create a nice garden of roses.” The small rose garden has grown into 23 acres of botanical beauty overlooking the town of Hershey. Highlights here include a tropical Butterfly Atrium with hundreds of butterflies, the rose garden with 3,000 roses representing 115 varieties, and hands-on Children’s Garden. Admission to the gardens is FREE with the American Horticultural Society membership as part of their RAP program.
    - Local parks: We chose to end our time at Swatara Creek Park, enjoying a nice evening by the Swatara Creek.
    OTHER FREE THINGS TO DO IN HERSHEY:
    - Hershey's Chocolate World: Hop into a themed car for a factory tour that begins in farmlands, winds through a warm cocoa bean roaster, and ends with thousands of candies twisting and turning on conveyor belts. This free ride tells the story of HERSHEY’S chocolate. It finishes with a free Hershey’s chocolate for every rider. Parking is also free here for up to 3 hours.

    What a great butterfly exhibit. I love this kind of thing. Kinda disappointed Steve wasn't eating a chocolate bar as he walked through the botanical gardens. I just love your chill attitude when traveling, it really helps finding the out of the way places. 💯

      It's a wonderful butterfly exhibit. Knowing Steve, he'd probably walk through with an Aldi brand chocolate bar! 😆 And I actually have a Hershey's t-shirt but it was too hot to wear while we were there. We're still working on finding balance and finding the right pace as we travel but we think we're doing better. We do like to try to take our time and find and enjoy the local spots!

    If ever in St Louis, they too have a lovely butterfly house as well as a wonderful botanical garden
    Worth at least 2 days to enjoy and relax. They also have a nice zoo.
    Yes a treat to have them land on your body. Precious!

    Great video. We loved the Butterfly Atrium. My brother lives not too far from Hershey. Although Ginger has been there, we have just added the atrium and Hershey to our list of "must see". Two likes, 2 views and a comment

      We love going there! It's the only place we've had the butterflies land on us That was Alfredo sauce we were putting on our pizza. It's not something we normally do but we had some left over from a pasta dish we made.

    Hi Steve and Audra
    Finally catch your notification
    You two seem doing well.
    Oh...headed for north, PA.
    FL was hot hot hot during Independence day I was there watching the fireworks display from Indian River.
    OMGoodness, I am not big fan of mosquitos hahah
    Anyway, this is very delightful destination. Is it like Botanical Garden? The wings of the butterflies are mysterious and elegant.
    wowowo what? cockroaches? 3:08
    Surely Harsey devoted his fortune to the community.
    haha butterflies are all over on you. I have never heard of Hershey Library. Better check it out in the future.
    Very peaceful film... Unwinding...rejuvenating..
    well done..Stay cool...FL is hot hot hot hhHH.
    See you next time.
    Let me drive you in the sea...did you know?

      So nice to hear from you! 😊 We're glad not to be in Florida during the hot, humid summer months. Yes, the botanical garden in Hershey is very beautiful! The butterflies are so neat to see and yes, they have an interesting collection of insects too including the cockroaches! Thanks for watching!
