The Hershey Co. has topped Forbes' list of the "World's Top Female Friendly Companies," leading a roster of 300 honorees. 

The Hershey Co. reported third-quarter consolidated net sales of $2.36 billion, an increase of 6.3% over the previous year. Its North America segment net sales were $2.13 billion of that, 5.5% more than the same period in 2020.

After a successful trial run in late summer 2019, the amusement park decided to bring two Hyperdecks--with full-motion floor and multi-sensory effects like strong winds, heat and earth-rattling movements--to Hershey's Chocolatetown.

In addition to rides and shows, Santa will be at Hersheypark in an indoor heated Candy Cottage; his reindeer—including Rudolph—will also make a special stop at Christmas Candylane.

Among the new, year-round dining and retail offerings will be the full-service Chocolatier Restaurant, Bar + Patio, with seating for 300 indoors and 100 outdoors.

Guests can bring their flashlight to ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park for a nighttime tour, included with the admission price to Hersheypark.

The show combines acting with grace and power of acrobatics to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.

The hypercoaster will feature a lift height of 210 feet, maximum speed of 76 m.p.h. and a track length of 4,636 feet, making it the tallest, fastest and longest coaster in Hersheypark.

When enthusiasm for the community pool or local park wanes, plan an adventure for the day. Here, we offer up 39 possibilities.

The interactive holiday show will feature Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse joined by Disney Junior favorites Vampirina and Bingo and Rolly from “Puppy Dog Pals.”

Hands-on activities will include tasting and grinding cocoa nibs, and holding real cocoa beans and cocoa pods.

“Road Trip Adventure” will head to Hershey’s Giant Center for seven performances from October 17-20, 2019.

Some 26,000 votes were cast, with Hersheypark besting 67 other amusement parks in North America to be named the fan favorite.

Using digital technology, animation, sound and radio frequency identification (RFID), the museum enhancements will provide a more immersive experience for guests.

Additionally, visitors are encouraged to explore the three floors of museum exhibits and participate in the Hershey’s Kisses Scavenger Hunt that is part of Chocolate Covered February in Hershey.
