2025 Season Pass Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions apply to the purchase and use of a Hersheypark Season Pass (“Season Pass”).

Your 2025 Season Pass

Thank you for choosing Hersheypark® amusement park for your fun in 2025. Our “photo-imaging” system has many benefits to offer you including:

  • Greater security. Your picture will remain on file and will be checked should a duplicate pass be necessary. No one other than you will be able to use your Season Pass number.
  • Easy renewal. Renewing passes from year to year is more convenient than ever before! If you were a 2024 Season Pass Holder, you can continue to use your Season Pass ID for 2025 (we request that children have their photo taken every year and anyone under the age of 18 have their photo taken every two years). All new Season Pass Holders are required to take a photo for your new Season Pass.
  • Present your Season Pass at the entrance using any available ticket gate. Once your pass is scanned, your day at Hersheypark begins! Please be sure to get your hand stamped upon exiting the Park if you intend to re-enter later in the day. Passes may only be scanned once per day. Each visit is subject to applicable Hersheypark rules, policies, procedures, and restrictions established from time to time by Hersheypark in its sole discretion.

Once Add-Ons are linked to a Season Pass, they are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and not valid for cash. Add-ons may be changed or canceled at any time by Hersheypark.
  • A Season Pass Holder assumes all inherent risks associated with all rides and attractions and must follow all safety signage, instructions, and rules.

No refunds or credit given for any such changes or cancellations.

Binding Arbitration:

  • This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions and the purchase and/or use of a Season Pass (collectively, “Season Pass Disputes”). For all Season Pass Disputes, Season Pass Holders and Season Pass Holders’ parents or legal guardians, if applicable, agree to first send a written description of their dispute to Hersheypark via the Contact Form to allow HE&R an opportunity to resolve the Season Pass Dispute. Season Pass Holders and HE&R each agree to negotiate the Season Pass Dispute in good faith. If the Season Pass Dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days, the Season Pass Dispute (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration. Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of purchasing and/or using a Season Pass, Season Pass Holders agree under no circumstances will they be permitted to obtain awards for, and hereby waive all rights to claim punitive, incidental, or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys' fees, other than Season Pass Holder’s actual out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., costs of purchasing the Season Pass), and Season Pass Holders further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.

Class Action Waiver And Jury Waiver:

  • Season Pass Holders agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between a Season Pass Holder and HE&R that this class action waiver is unenforceable, this provision will be void only as to that Season Pass Holder. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, the Season Pass Holder and HE&R each waive any right to a jury trial.
