Milton’s Ice Cream Parlor

Milton’s Ice Cream Parlor is inspired by Milton Hershey’s early ventures in candy-making. Here you’ll find more than a dozen 100% local dairy house-made ice cream flavors, including Candymonium, Reese’s Peanut Butter, Toasted Marshmallow, and Malted Memories, a flavor created using a Spartan Ice Cream recipe developed by Milton Hershey School students. Also on the menu: a King-Size Sundae served in a souvenir Hersheypark dish with 5 scoops of house-made ice cream, confetti cake, unlimited toppings, fresh whipped cream, and a cherry; a “warm” ice cream sandwich; chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla milkshakes; and two ice cream floats.

Looking for a savory bite? House-made potato chips, buckets of fries and chicken bites in Hersheypark souvenir buckets served with a choice of dipping sauces (beer cheese, smokehouse BBQ, chocolate mole, garlic parmesan, and more), Signature Grilled Cheese with parmesan-crusted sourdough bread, Chicken N Waffles (one of Mr. Hershey’s favorite dishes!) and more are also on the menu.

The Sweeterie Confectionery Kitchen

The Sweeterie features a curated collection of mouth-watering confections including chocolate-dipped treats, decadent desserts, signature hand-crafted fudge, and more. You can sweeten up your visit with Hersheypark-themed treats, including the Comet coaster bar, Kissing Tower mousse cake and Chocolatetown cheesecake. Check out the whole menu!
