Hersheypark’s 2027 Season Passes are on sale, and three of the four tiers include visits for the rest of 2026. New Full Size, King Size and Giant Size passholders can use their passes for Hersheypark Halloween, Dark Nights and Christmas Candylane this year, then return throughout the 2027 public operating season.
The sale was announced September 10. All four tiers include unlimited 2027 visits to Hersheypark and ZooAmerica. The entry-level Bite Size pass does not include the extra 2026 visits.
Starting at $49 down and ten $10 payments
New passes start at an initial $49 down payment followed by ten monthly payments of $10 for Bite Size. That adds up to $149. Full Size starts at $49 down and ten $13 payments, or $179 paid at once.
King Size is $49 down plus ten $19 payments, or $239 paid at once. Giant Size is $49 down plus ten $32 payments, or $369 paid at once. Prices include applicable taxes, with no transaction or processing fees.
What the four tiers include
Bite Size covers unlimited 2027 park and ZooAmerica visits, 50% off general parking purchased online in advance through the pass portal, and 5% off food, drinks and retail. It does not include Sweet Start early entry or passholder events.
Full Size adds free parking, summer Sweet Start early entry, one qualifying Pre-K Pass, passholder events and 15% discounts on food, drinks and retail. Passholder parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
King Size adds an All-Year Drink Plan, two one-day Hersheypark tickets for 2027 and a passholder bag. Giant Size includes three one-day tickets, two qualifying Pre-K Passes, lounge access and one single-use Fast Track per visit. That Fast Track benefit excludes Boardwalk attractions and Dark Nights haunted houses.
The free Pre-K Passes are for children born on or after January 1, 2022. Activation vouchers arrive in early 2027 and must be redeemed by August 31, 2027.
Which benefits start this year?
For the rest of 2026, new Full Size, King Size and Giant Size passholders receive Full Size benefits, including free parking, discounts and access to remaining passholder events, along with their Halloween, Dark Nights and Christmas Candylane visits.
Tier-specific extras do not all start immediately. Complimentary tickets, welcome bags, drink plans and cups, and free Pre-K Passes begin in 2027.
Current 2026 Season Passes remain valid through January 3, 2027. Existing passholders can renew at the same tier for the lowest advertised 2027 renewal price.
Compare the full benefits and purchase options on Hersheypark’s season-pass page. The 2027 pass details also cover optional dining, drink and Fast Track add-ons, whose availability varies by tier and purchase timing.
