r/Hersheypark

I’m so upset! Spent money on a hotel stay, used up my PTO, possibly wasted an entire park ticket? Policy says unused tickets are not eligible for the rainy day guarantee… I have a Halloween ticket and definitely won’t be able to make it back this month 🥲 and I doubt they refund parking passes

Makes me never wanna do amusement parks again since you never know what’s gonna happen!! So unpredictable. Probably wasted $500 coming up here for today between tickets, hotel, food, gas. Sucks!! Planned everything over a month ago before we knew the weather

Edit - customer service gave me a return ticket for next Halloween season. Here’s hoping it doesn’t rain again next year!! Gonna head to chocolate world for a while and then maybe see a movie 🤷🏼‍♀️ hope everyone finds something fun to do today instead of the park 🥲

Just received word that HP will not open today. FYI.

Here's The Hotel Hershey!

And a few bonus locations - Milton Hershey School's Founders Hall and Hershey Medical Center, with the Life Lion helicopter

I was inspired by the LEGO Architecture skyline sets, and figured my hometown deserved a skyline model!

Anyone else basically saying screw it and going tomorrow? (We dont have a choice about not going)

We were supposed to come today but the rain killed those plans. I’m looking at the possibility of coming on 10/31, but this is also probably my tween’s last Halloween where there’s still a sense of childhood magic around tick-or-treating. All year she looks forward to that big bag of candy that’s all hers. Does the park do anything extra like hand out fistfuls of candy if they dress up, or is it the same “one peice of candy per station” like any other day?

We booked a hotel from 11/25-11/29 in Hershey for Thanksgiving. We live within a drive away and we don’t have a family nearby to celebrate Thanksgiving with, so we figured we’d do something different this year. We have an 11, 9, and 2 year old. Is this a good time to go? Crowded? Any tips or things we can do to make it memorable, without spending thousands? Also, are we staying in the area for too long…meaning, will we run out of stuff to do? Never been.

Heading to the park this Sunday.. we live 6 hours away so we will be traveling on Saturday and going to the park on Sunday … kinda bummed about the rain but nothing we can do about it, we bought the tickets and air BNB all ready … any recommendations on what to do in the park during the rain.. would be great..

After cedar point closes Hershey paired off a Penn state weekend is going to be my best option for a coaster fix.

Anyone in town going to Dark Nights Friday (10/2)? I’m excited to (hopefully) see the slider showcase. Looking to hang with other fans of the Decayed Brigade.
