The Hersheypark Halloween and Dark Nights Festival begins

The sweetest place on earth is once again the scariest. Hersheypark Halloween and Dark Nights are here with new shows, thrills and treats. There are enhanced scares and exclusive food over seven weekends from September 15 through October 29, 2023. This Halloween experience features five terrifying haunted houses. The latest, Aunt Mortem’s Slaughterhouse, tells a chilling story inside the butcher house. Guests can also check out three spine-chilling areas. For family-friendly fun, guests can enjoy the Hershey’s Trick-or-Treat Trail, where kids 12 and under can dress up in costumes and visit 13 adorable stops from Hershey’s Chocolate World to Treatville on The Boardwalk. There will also be a glow-up dance party, where Hershey characters will dance along with guests inside the Music Box Theater. Over 75 cocktails, desserts and delicious treats are available for purchase for a limited time. Watch the video below for more.
