It’s been weeks since Hersheypark took the short and sweet route by subtly teasing big news to come on Oct. 3.
The amusement park finally released plans to expand and add an all-new portion called Hershey’s Chocolatetown to the park by the summer of 2020.
The new region is a $150 million investment and will sit on 23 acres, according to a news release.
In a tweet, Hersheypark uploaded a video that gives a virtual tour of what the sweet addition will feature. Chocolatetown is set to have a confectionery kitchen, ice cream parlor, KISSES Fountain, Starbucks and so much more.
Shopper? Chocolatetown will feature a Flagship Store that will have the largest collection of Hersheypark exclusives.
The kitchen, ice cream parlor, and restaurant will have an entrance inside and outside of the front gate.
