Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a dessert lover, or just looking for a family-friendly experience, HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD offers a dynamic and delicious escape packed with unforgettable memories—and this year, TWIZZLERS are taking the spotlight.
From new treats and whimsical desserts to eye-catching cocktails and thrilling amusement park rides, the 2025 summer experience at HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD has something for every age and palate. The vibrant, twisty world of TWIZZLERS is being brought to life like never before through a variety of interactive experiences and one-of-a-kind offerings that run now through September 1, 2025.
TWIZZLERS-Themed Fun Steals the Spotlight
This summer, the beloved TWIZZLERS brand is front and center, reimagined through colorful and creative food and drink experiences. Guests can indulge in signature new items such as the TWIZZLERS PULL ‘N’ PEEL Milkshake, which blends strawberries and cream ice cream with pieces of TWIZZLERS and a swirl of whimsy thanks to sprinkles and whipped cream. For those looking for something even more indulgent, the TWIZZLERS Bubble Waffle topped with strawberry gelato, HERSHEY’S Strawberry Syrup, and bits of TWIZZLERS offers a perfect balance of chewy, creamy, and crunchy textures.
For adults 21 and older, HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD offers elevated cocktails that incorporate nostalgic flavors with a grown-up twist. One of the summer’s signature drinks is the TWIZZLERS Orange Cream Pop Cocktail, featuring whipped vodka, orange juice, cream, and a garnish of TWIZZLERS Orange Cream Pop candy, mint, and an orange slice.
A Sweet Adventure Extends to HERSHEYPARK
The excitement doesn’t end at the treat counter. Just steps away at HERSHEYPARK, thrill-seekers can experience the all-new TWIZZLERS TWISTED GRAVITY—a record-breaking Screamin’ Swing ride that debuted on May 24, 2025. As the tallest of its kind in the world, the ride features two giant gondolas that swing riders 137 feet into the air at 68 miles per hour, creating breathtaking zero-gravity moments and panoramic views of the park.
Each of the ride’s four zones is uniquely themed to a TWIZZLERS flavor—Strawberry, Cherry, HERSHEY’S Chocolate, and Black Licorice—making it not only a thrill ride but also a flavor adventure. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, fitting into the “Hershey’s height category,” and the experience is a must-do for adrenaline junkies and brand fans alike.
“HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD has always been a must-visit for families, but this summer we’re going bigger, bolder, and twistier,” said Todd Kohr, Senior Marketing Manager at The Hershey Company. “From new TWIZZLERS-inspired treats to creative desserts and refreshing drinks, there’s a fun and flavorful experience waiting for everyone who walks through our doors.”
