Hersheypark Dark Nights returns September 12 for its fifth season, with five haunted houses and five scare zones included with park admission.
The new addition is Reese's Depot of Doom, a scare zone built around an abandoned, fog-filled freight yard. Hersheypark says shadowy trespassers will move among its boxcars and fractured tracks.
The lineup also includes returning haunted houses, limited-time food and lights-out rides on select coasters during the final hour of each event night. Laff Trakk will operate with its lights out throughout the day.
Just 1 month left to hide! Dark Nights at Hersheypark returns for its 5th year of terror on Sept. 12. Gear up for 5 haunted houses and 5 scare zones, including the all-new Reese's Depot of Doom.
