Hersheypark 2021: What's Included in Your Summer Admission Ticket

Enjoy Roller Coasters, Water Rides, Zoo Animals and More

Hersheypark is open for its 115th season this year with more to experience than ever before! Tickets include three parks in one with a wide range of family-friendly and thrilling attractions; The Boardwalk At Hersheypark water park (open May 29-September 6) with one million gallons of water; and ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park when accessing the zoo through the Hersheypark bridge during posted park hours.

Hersheypark

Home to over 70 rides and attractions including thrilling roller coasters, classic family attractions and kiddie rides for the miniatures, Hersheypark has something for everyone. Guests visiting the Park can hop from coaster to coaster while also stopping at one of many dining locations, arcades, and retail spots before heading to The Boardwalk or ZooAmerica from inside the Park. 

The Boardwalk At Hersheypark

The Boardwalk is located inside Hersheypark and accessible to all guests who have a Hersheypark admission ticket. The water park features multiple water slides, lazy river, wave pool and even a water coaster! Included in your ticket, access to the water park does not cost extra and there is no separate entrance. Soak up the sun and enjoy the rides - water you waiting for?

Note: The Boardwalk hours are listed on our website and vary by day (open May 29-September 6). Please note The Boardwalk closes earlier than the rest of the Park. 

ZooAmerica 

ZooAmerica is included in your Hersheypark admission ticket when you enter via the bridge inside Hersheypark during posted park hours. Guests with a Park ticket must enter through the Hersheypark front gate after 11AM and make their way over to Kissing Tower Hill to cross the bridge to ZooAmerica. 

Note: Hersheypark tickets cannot be scanned at the ZooAmerica entrance.
