Time is running out to experience the thrills and chills of Hersheypark Halloween and Dark Nights! This season at Hersheypark offers a variety of experiences ranging from sweet to spooky including trick-or-treating along Hershey's Trick or Treat Trail, Hershey Character Appearances and Glow Dance Parties, and 5 unique Haunted House experiences.

Did you know that Hersheypark Halloween is the last chance to enjoy some of our roller coasters before they close for the 2024 operating year? Follow along for a complete rundown of which coasters will be taking their final laps for the year this fall season.
