Become an informed consumer while still on vacation! Check out Jaunted's newest series of the best factory tours the world over.

The branded town of Hershey, Pennsylvania already contains an amusement park and Hershey's Chocolate World, perhaps the closest analogue to Willy Wonka's factory after Cadbury World. But the American brand may have just pulled ahead with its newest attraction: Make your own chocolate!

Two new classes a day at the Hershey Chocolate Lab get visitors up close and personal with the company's tasty treats. Learn about the different varieties of cocoa beans and global tastes for the sweet stuff at "Planet Chocolate," or design your own blockbuster in "Build a Bar." (It's just like Build-a-Bear, but way more delicious.)

The Chocolate Lab is arguably educational and definitely entertaining, but it comes with a price: A $10 lab class ticket can only be purchased the day of your visit ($17.50 combination ticket with the museum). And with normally just two classes offered a day, you'll want to bust down the doors when the museum opens at 9AM to get a slot for you or your 4-and-over kid. How badly do you want that designer chocolate, anyway?
