Hersheypark Dark Nights

Hersheypark Announces New 2022 Halloween Experiences

Halloween is coming up soon and Lehigh Valley’s Hersheypark is preparing for an even spookier season this year.

Hersheypark Announces New 2022 Halloween Experiences

Hersheypark’s  “Dark Nights” will feature both scare zones and full haunted house experiences.

The event will include midways that transform from enchanting to unnerving with three Scare Zones, eerie to intense, included with a general admission ticket to Hersheypark Halloween.

The Hersheypark Scare Zones include:

• Darkstone’s Hollow – Wander among Professor Darkstone’s showmen boasting his array of mythical creatures. Beyond the mesmerizing imagery, there’s more to the show than meets the eye.
• Valley of Fear – Don’t find yourself alone in the murky mists along Spring Creek. The dreadful beings are watching and waiting deep within the shadows, and they know exactly when to strike.
• Midway of Misery – Flames burst into the skies as guests are summoned through a sinister gateway into the darkest corner of Hersheypark…where no one can find you.

Also included in Dark Nights are four horrifying haunted houses:

• Haunted Coal Mine – For too long, unsettling cries of miners lost in these coal shafts have tormented the living. Take a daring trek through the abandoned mine, which suddenly becomes an explosive encounter.
• The Descent – Who prowls the dark underground tunnels beneath Hersheypark? Follow her into the depths of decay where the only way out is down…
• Creature Chaos – Join Professor Darkstone as he pits you against Pennsylvania’s most fearful and deadly creatures. Don’t worry, they’re in their cages…for now.
• Twisted Darkness – Dare to have your tarot read by our twisted fortune teller and be forced into a never-ending carnival of nightmares. Was it real or was it all in your mind?

Tickets for the haunted houses start at $24.95 to experience them an unlimited amount of times during your visit. 

Information on purchasing can be found here. 

Younger children and those who don’t wish to be scared can bypass these scare zones after 6 p.m.

Besides the new haunted experiences, Hersheypark has extended its Halloween season to include seven weekends, starting on Sept. 17 and running until Oct. 30.
