Pennsylvania State Police Historical, Educational, & Memorial Center - Museum in Hershey - 187 E Hersheypark Dr, USA

As a local I was so surprised at how cool this museum was! Gorgeous panoramic view of Hershey from parking lot. Full gift shop. Museum packed with neat things...even original scales and mug shots from the PA Lottery's infamous 666 scandal. Good for both kids and adults.

This is an educational experience. I learned many interesting things about the PA State Police. There are many displays and artifacts.

I visited here on my way up to State College, after hearing about this place by accident while surfing YouTube. It really gave me the appreciation that the efforts the men and women of the Pennsylvania State Police have done since they were founded back in the 1900s protecting and serving the residents of the Commonwealth. You'll learn a lot about their history, see how their equipment changed year after year, hear about some of the most infamous crimes like the Camp Hill prison riots, and the 666 fix, etc. You'll also see how they train future men and women to become state troopers as they have an exhibit detailing some of what goes on at the nearby State Police Academy. To the PA State Police: thank you for all you do in protecting and serving the Commonwealth.

This is a very small museum but well worth seeing. I wish they had more details about the creation and evolution of the police force. The museum is accessible and has two area where you can sit and watch videos about the police force. The videos are well done. The bathrooms are also accessible and we’re able to fit my walker. The gift shop is small and has mostly tshirts and other wearables. I was hoping to find a book that would further information.

This is a great little museum, packed full of great information and displays, with an incredible view of Hershey. The staff was super nice and informative. The gift shop has a nice variety of PSP items. I definitely would like to visit again and take the tour of the academy, which require reservations two weeks prior.

Great place to visit for some history of the Pa State Police. Organized, well laid out, easy to see, and get up close. My father in law is pictured with the rodeo in the early 70s. Many displays on the different aspects of the state police history over the years. It's definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

This is a great place to visit and must see in Hershey Pa. We attend the Solders of Law Memorial Ride yearly and love the tour of the PSP Museum.

Very very small museum, but very interesting! I learned a lot from my visit and saw a collection of varied artifacts, from different uniforms to materials from State Trooper Rodeos (I found an amusing bit in the program information they had available) to significant historical items (artifacts from news stories around the State that received national attention). I spent about an hour and a half inside, taking things in slowly. I would at least dedicate an hour to this museum if you plan on visiting. Maybe two if you choose to read many of the resources available. It was covered with snow when I visited, but please make sure to take a few moments at the Wall of Honor. The staff is incredibly friendly and a joy to interact with. My main reason for wanting to visit was because some of the artifacts were featured on Travel Channel's "Mysteries at the Museum". While they shared many details of the story behind the artifacts there was still much to learn.
