As always, guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy a self-guided tour of the "Old Barn." Don't miss out on the chance to explore this historical landmark and strap on those skates.
Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance - our price hasn't changed since we started hosting this annual tradition and it's a great family deal!
Admission is $5.00 per person with advance purchase of tickets at the Historical Society, or www.
hersheyhistory.org
