When does the Hersheypark Season pass start?
The Hersheypark season pass starts January 1. But Sarah, Hersheypark isn't open in January!
I know! But ZooAmerica IS open year-round and it is INCLUDED with your Season Park pass. Many exhibits are located indoors and in the winter months, there are fewer crowds so you are able to take your time, enjoy the animals and have animal encounters like no other!

Sherrie,
Yeah! You are going to have a great time! I have not used my meal plan THIS year but in years past, I have loved using my meal plan at Moe’s Southwest Grill and the Spring Creek Smokehouse has nice size portions.
Grab a brochure when you get there to see what restaurant would work best for you.
Also, be sure to download the Hersheypark app. The meal plan restaurants are in there...
and yes, if your 4 year old grand daughter eats like mind did... you will be fine sharing.
Sherrie
thanks for all the great information. I joined this year so I can take my granddaughter. What in your opinion is the best use of the meal plan? Is there one restaurant that offers more food? If I just buy the meal plan for one person will it be enough to feed an adult and a four-year-old child?
Sarah
I am so happy you are 'in the club'! We LOVE our season passes and YES, they are the perfect Christmas gift that keeps giving over and over.
simommie
Thank you for this comprehensive overview of the perks for season pass holders. This was a Christmas gift for the family and we just came home tonight from opening day; needless to say this is one of the best gifts yet! So nice to feel like you're "in the club" with season tickets that actually come with a myriad of exclusives. The kids are only young once and we intend to cherish every moment of family fun that we can; Hersheypark is one of the sweetest times to be had!
Sarah
Charlie,
You are welcome! Hersheypark is a family favorite. Enjoy your season passes!
Charlie
Thanks so much Sarah! We are thinking about getting season passes to Hersheypark. Such a fun park!
Jena
Great post and thanks for all of the info! We have been trying to budget to buy our first season passes for our family. We missed the sale window last year to buy for 2019 so do you happen to know if Hershey will put the 2019 passes on sale again? If not, is it worth it to buy a day pass on sale and upgrade it to a season pass? Thanks so much!
