1. CARRY ONLY THE ESSENTIALS

For guest safety, Hersheypark Stadium will ONLY allow small clutches, wristlets or fanny packs no larger than 5"x8"x1". Items that exceed this size limit will not be permitted inside the venue, including backpacks, purses, drawstring bags, totes, suitcases, etc.

Exceptions will be made for guests who require a medical equipment bag and/or a parenting bag. These bags must be smaller than 14”x14”x6” and must go through a metal detection screening upon entry. 

All items are subject to search and measurement. Upon arriving at the venue, guests will be required to enter through walk-through security scanners. 

Tip: Didn't bring a bag? Keep your eyes out for a “no bag” express lane for a more streamlined entry into the venue.

2. BRING ALONG A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD FOR PURCHASES

Hersheypark Stadium is a cashless venue. All major debit and credit cards will be accepted. If you forget your card, don’t worry! For no additional fee, you can convert cash to a prepaid debit card at Cash-to-Card kiosk underneath the East and West grandstands. Other nearby properties, such as Hersheypark Supply Co., also have Cash-to-Card kiosks for guest usage. 

3. PARK FOR FREE

The cost of parking is included in the price of your concert ticket for shows at Hersheypark Stadium. Just be sure to follow the “Concert Parking” or “Event Parking” electronic boards and road signage on Hersheypark Drive when heading to park.

The field parking areas may not be open for every event. We encourage guests to follow electronic board signage and the direction of parking staff upon reaching Hersheypark Drive.

Hershey, Pennsylvania, is a small town rooted in the world's love of chocolate and the philanthropy of Milton S. Hershey. Mr. Hershey dreamed of making chocolate affordable for everyone. In pursuit of that vision, he created a beautiful town for his employees that caught the nation’s attention. Hershey was filled with a modern chocolate factory, homes, schools, businesses, and 150 acres of community leisure grounds that would later evolve into a world-class family amusement park. Home of the Great American chocolate bar, Hershey attracts millions of visitors each year.

Over a century later, Hershey is now home to Hersheypark amusement park, a North American zoo, four distinctly Hershey resorts, live concerts and shows, delicious dining options, and, of course, chocolate around every corner. Even sweeter - Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company is proud to help fulfill the dream of our founder, Milton S. Hershey, by providing value to Milton Hershey School in its mission of helping students lead fulfilling and productive lives - just as Mr. Hershey intended.

Additional highlights for Stapleton over the past decade include the National Anthem performance at Super Bowl LVII, three appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” countless sold-out shows worldwide and collaborations with Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Santana, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Slash, George Strait and many more.

In celebration of the first-of-its-kind ride overlay for Hersheypark, Shaquille O’Neal made a sweet stop in Hershey on Oct. 6, 2025.

The pride of Philadelphia, Miss. has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter) "capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year.

Along with mega-hits “Stressed Out” and “Ride,” the band’s chart-topping album “Blurryface” made history by earning a Guinness World Record for being the first album to notch a RIAA Gold or Platinum certification for every one of its songs.

• For lunch, visit Houlihan’s down the street from MeltSpa by Hershey and try new dishes and cocktails from their menu. 

Evening

To wrap up your day, visit Hersheypark for the last two hours (or three hours if you’re staying at The Official Resorts of Hersheypark) to enjoy a free park preview included with your ticket. Squeeze in a few coaster rides before your full-day visit the next day. Remember to bring your ticket as you will still need to be scanned for entry. 

Need a dinner option that is convenient to the Park?

• The Chocolatier Restaurant, Bar + Patio is located in the Hershey’s Chocolatetown region of Hersheypark outside of the front entrance. You do not need a Hersheypark ticket to dine there. 
  • The Chocolatier serves up family fare with a fun spin and hints of chocolate from an open kitchen. The menu features all things from shareables to salads, big plates like Cocoa-Dusted Beef Short Ribs and Heath Bar Crusted Salmon, sweet desserts such as the Chocolate Fun-Due and the S'mores Milkshake and signature cocktails like the Reese's Cupfusion Old Fashioned and Mini Martini Flight. 

Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made in advance on The Chocolatier's website. 

Day Two

Morning

Rise and shine, it’s time for a day at Hersheypark!

• For a quick but tasty breakfast option on your way, stop by the Cocoa Beanery at Hershey Lodge for some rich coffee and other yummy eats. 
• For our guests at The Hotel Hershey, Chef’s Market is a similar grab-and-go option.

Afternoon

Resort guests and Full and King Size Season Pass Holders have access to Sweet Start (available May 22-Sept. 7, 2025), which allows them to enter the Park an hour before it opens to enjoy a selection of rides with shorter wait times. 

To all the coaster fanatics out there, we recommend heading straight to one of our 15 mild to wild coasters right when you enter the Park. 

• New this summer is the world's tallest Screamin' Swing, Twizzlers Twisted Gravity. Riders of the Hershey's height category (48-54") can ascend 137 adrenaline-pumping feet and defy gravity at speeds reaching 68 miles per hour. 
• For thrill-seekers, Candymonium is our tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster located right at the front of the Park in the Hershey’s Chocolatetown region. 

Don’t forget that Hersheypark tickets include three parks in one with the rides, ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park and The Boardwalk. From the 200 animals in our zoo to the 11 acres of water rides at our water park, there are endless things to experience during your visit to Hersheypark! 

• Please note that ZooAmerica is only included with a Hersheypark ticket by accessing the zoo through the Hersheypark bridge during posted Park hours. In advance of your visit, we suggest downloading the Hersheypark app and checking the hours for the zoo and the water park, as they may differ from the Park. 

Evening

If you get hungry heading into the late afternoon, there are plenty of in-Park dining options to choose from. 

• For a refreshing and healthy food option that is allergy-friendly, Oola Bowls can be found at Kissing Tower Hill and at The Boardwalk! The Great Bear Bowl is a must-try that is inspired by our coaster. 
• For all things barbecue, Spring Creek Smokehouse has everything from brisket and pulled pork to mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. 

Before you leave the Park, make sure you stop by HP Collections or Hersheypark Supply Co. to pick up some exclusive merchandise to commemorate your trip to The Sweetest Place On Earth! 

We hope this itinerary of suggestions throughout Hershey, PA helps you enjoy all of the one-of-a-kind attractions The Sweetest Place On Earth has to offer. Be sure to fit in more of the sweet thrills with the 2-Day Any Day Ticket option. Don’t wait any longer to book your trip - visit us today!
