Creatures Of The Night at ZooAmerica
One of the ways Hersheypark stands out in value for our family is that ZooAmerica is included in the price of admission to Hersheypark in the Dark Halloween.
And during normal operating hours as well!
This year, you are invited to bring a flashlight for the Creatures of the Night experience program that starts after 6pm.
Halloween at The Official Resorts of Hersheypark
When it comes to excellent customer service and the full Hershey, PA experience, I can’t recommend staying at one of the official resorts of Hershey park enough!
Both the Hotel Hershey and Hershey Lodge offer ?Hersheypark Happy Halloween? and ?Hersheypark In The Dark? packages during the Halloween season (October 19-November 4).
Packages include deluxe accommodations for one or two nights, breakfast with Hershey?s Characters, admission to Hersheypark In The Dark Halloween seasonal event for one or two days, admission to Hershey Gardens and admission to the Museum Experience at The Hershey Story Museum.
Seriously, the value for a long weekend to spend a Halloween in Hershey is plussed when you stay at one of these hotels!
Halloween at Hershey?s Chocolate World Attraction
This is always a must-stop for any Hershey trip.
And I can’t see a Halloween Hersheypark visit being any different!
At Hershey?s Chocolate World Attraction, guests enjoy festive fall fun during Full Moon Fridays (Oct. 9, 26 and Nov. 2) and new surprises in Hershey Hallow.
Don?t forget your costumes!
