If you forget your card, don't worry - for no additional fee, you can convert cash to a prepaid debit card at two Cash-to-Card kiosks, located under the East and West grandstands. Other properties nearby, such as Hersheypark Supply Co., will also have Cash-to-Card kiosks availablefor guest usage.

CARRY ONLY THE ESSENTIALS - LARGE BAGS ARE PROHIBITED

Hersheypark Stadium does not permit bags larger than 5"x8"x1" in dimension for guest safety.
