Hershey's sweetest coasters, for less
Hersheypark Halloween and Dark Nights run Friday to Sunday through Nov 1, including Halloween night. Christmas Candylane opens select dates Nov 13 through Jan 3.
A One-Day Any Day Halloween ticket is $54.99, and parking starts at $25 online. That's about $80 for one person, one night, before taxes and fees.
A 2027 Full Size Season Pass is $179 with free parking, and it gets you into the rest of this year's Halloween and Christmas Candylane free. It beats three day visits.
Hersheypark doesn't run public promo codes. The real savings right now are the 2027 passes, which throw in the rest of 2026.

My take: if you live within a couple of hours, the $179 Full Size pass is the buy. Three visits on day tickets already cost more, and you get Halloween and Candylane this year thrown in.– John

Tickets are only part of it. Here's a Halloween night for a family of four.
