1. Wilbur Chocolate Candy Americana Museum and Factory Store

Telephone: (888) 294-5287
Address: 48 N. Broad St.
Insider Pick:
Description: OK, there are more than 1,000 antique and vintage chocolate-making and consuming artifacts on display here, and you can peek through the window of the “Candy Kitchen” to watch all kinds of sweets get dunked and drizzled. But, really, you have to walk past all kinds of displays of chocolate-covered everything to get to the museum part, and there’s no way to do that without at least tasting one of the company’s world-famous Wilbur Buds, which have been a staple here since 1893. If you haven’t tasted Wilbur chocolate, you’re in for a treat. It’s very different from anything you’ll find at Hershey. Closed Sun.
