You can find us next to the Antique Automobile, Motorcycle & Bus Museum and just one mile from Hershey Park and Hershey's Chocolate World. Welcome to Chocolate Express Hotel & Suites Hershey – conveniently situated off Route 39, also known as Hershey Road. I would have loved to see more control over direction of travel and definitely more staff to remind guests to distance and to stay masked up.Welcome to Chocolate Express Hotel & Suites Hershey Now Swimming In door pool is open will close end off September 2022 (Pool is not Heated ) Great value at our hotel in Hershey, Pennsylvania I think we spent nearly 40 minutes just trying to get past crowded areas and didn't see many animals because of the problems we encountered. Signs to leave the zoo for the parking lot were not clear, we ended up alongside a closed indoor attraction and had to turn around to figure out how to leave. Hand Sanitizers were, for the most part, completely empty, thankful I brought some for both my kids and I. Guests were simply streaming and milling around everywhere. There was little to no signage to make the journey through the zoo comfortably distanced.
There were no staff at stations to move people along or to remind guests to wear their masks. Moving past there, we were so surprised to see more than 75% of guests with their masks off or inappropriately worn. The lynx kittens were out, they are adorable, but everyone going in to the zoo and streaming out to Hershey Park, ended up in a bottle neck, where NO ONE could move. We ran into the first problem almost immediately. We went through temperature screenings and went outside. We had high hopes that things would be well managed, but that wasn't the case. This trip, during Covid 19, was a disappointment. We have always made a point of visiting the zoo when we travel to Lancaster County. My sons and I visited as a 17th birthday trip for my younger son.
