The roller coasters won't be operating and the water park will be closed due to the colder weather of the holidays at Hershey Park, in Hershey, Pennsylvania. However, the park has reduced their admission price to $10.95 to compensate. The amusement park is still offering more than thirty rides over the holidays. The zoo and Chocolate World are also open. In addition Hershey Park offers a light show, a holiday light display, shows and strolling entertainment for the whole family.

Hershey Pak offers two different options for holiday light lovers. The first option is N.O.E.L. or night of extraordinary lights. The night of extraordinary lights is described as "a light show featuring over 125,000 dancing lights synchronized to your favorite toe-tapping, jingle-rocking Christmas music." There are three shows nightly starting at 5, 6:30 and 8 PM. The second option is sweet lights. Hershey Sweets Lights costs $20 a car load. (Prices for other vehicles available on their website) Sweet Lights allow you to "enjoy nearly 600 illuminated, animated displays from the comfort of your car as you drive through two miles of wooded trails."

Hershey Park also offers special holiday shows during the holiday season. There is the "Home Sweet Home For Christmas" performed at the Chevrolet Music Theatre. There is "Sweet Treat Storytime" geared for children 8 and under. Hershey Park also has "Christmas Candylane Storytime" for children and the young at heart.
