Hersheypark Perfect for Preschoolers

Why visit Hersheypark with a preschooler? Why not?!

Hersheypark is proudly a family park, bringing joy and happiness to people of all ages! There is nothing quite as sweet as seeing your kids experience the joy of hugging a chocolate bar, or the thrill of riding their very first coaster! Feeling the nostalgia of your own first ride mixed with the pride of seeing your children conquer new challenges is exactly how Hersheypark Happy gets passed on through generations. 

When To Visit

Get the best value with a season pass, which is less than the price of 3 visits! This allows you to take shorter, more frequent visits with your little ones (before or after nap time!), all while getting free parking and discounts on food and merchandise throughout the park! The best part - your season pass includes a full year of sweet memories, with each season containing something new and fun!

Summer

Soak in the summer sun! Visit the Park in full swing, and enjoy the Boardwalk at Hersheypark, and daily entertainment.

Hersheypark In The Dark

Follow the Trick-or-Treat Trail through Hersheypark's Trick or Treat Trail, ZooAmerica's Creatures Of The Night, and Hershey's Chocolate World for a sweet time!

Christmas Candylane

Meet Santa's reindeer, decorate cookies, and take a ride on the Christmas-themed Cocoa Cruiser! Enjoy driving through Sweet Lights in your own car - a festive light display wrapping on for more than 2 miles!

Springtime In The Park

Welcome back the warm weather with select weekends of sweet fun - it's a perfect time to enjoy the park!

Where To Go

Sweet Perks

Kiddie Swap Program

If you and your partner would like to ride height-restricted rides but your child is not tall enough to ride, let the attendant know that you would like to take advantage of the Kiddie Swap program. One parent may ride while the other stays with the child. At the conclusion of the initial ride, the parents may "swap" places. Similarly, if one parent has two children who meet the height restriction but must be accompanied by a responsible rider or who wish not to ride alone, the parent may ride with one child while the other child waits in an appropriate area of the ride. At the conclusion of the initial ride, the parent may remain on the ride while the children "swap" places.

Stroller Rental

Strollers are available inside the entrance of Hersheypark on a first-come-first-serve basis. Rental prices: Single - $12; Double - $17.

Quiet Locations

Need some quiet time or need to nurse a younger child? Quiet locations are available in First Aid, located in Pioneer Frontier Family Health & Services, and the Guest Services location in Kissing Tower Hill.

Sweet Start

With a Season Pass, you can have access to parts of the Park one hour early! This means that you and your children can take full advantage of some of their favorite rides before it opens to the public. Be sure to pick up some Chick-fil-A for breakfast while you're there!

Fast Track Passes

With a Fast Track Pass, you can skip the lines on select attractions to maximize your Hersheypark experience. Fast Track Passes are available at Hospitality Services inside the main entrance, limited quantities available. Program and pricing subject to change without notice. Rides subject to change without notice and weather permitting. Park admission not included.
