Keto-Friendly 

There are select items in the park that can be customized when the guest is placing their order to make it keto-friendly. Check out some tips to help you be keto-friendly while at Hersheypark.

  • Several locations that offer burgers, cheesesteaks, hot dogs, etc., can be ordered without a bun.
  • At Chick-fil-A, the grilled chicken sandwich can also be ordered without a bun. Other keto-friendly menu options include grilled nuggets, salads with grilled chicken, and asking for fruit to be eliminated and selecting a keto-friendly dressing.
  • Moe’s can be very keto-friendly if the guest avoids rice, beans, corn and any wraps, tacos or chips.
  • There are several salad options available at Overlook Food Court
  • Smokehouse - any meats without BBQ sauce are keto, and the keto side would be green beans.
  • Some Starbucks drinks can be modified to be keto-friendly by asking to substitute heavy cream instead of milk and skipping any flavored sugar syrups. Plain coffee and tea or any ice tea unsweetened or sweetened with artificial sweeteners are keto-friendly. 
  • Many Subway sandwiches can be customized to be keto-friendly by skipping the roll/wrap and choosing specific keto ingredients and sauces. 
  • For alcoholic beverage options, Truly Hard Seltzer is keto-friendly. 
  • Diet soda and water are keto-friendly non-alcoholic beverage options.

Seafood

Guests that have specific allergies to different seafood should avoid items at The Chocolatier and Shoreline Grill. These are the only two locations at Hersheypark that sell items with fish.

We hope you enjoy the foods available to you while visiting! Be sure to visit the Park this summer to check out many of our food locations that offer these allergy-friendly foods.

Hersheypark Allergen Friendly menu offerings consist of items prepared without certain allergen-containing ingredients. Because we have multiple sources of food allergens in our kitchens there is risk that cross-contact may occur during the preparation and cooking of these items. Due to these circumstances, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of any allergen ingredient. Before placing your order please inform us of your food allergy and/or sensitivity so we can do everything possible to safely accommodate your dietary needs.
