FAQs

For safety reasons, loose articles and hand-held items are not permitted on most of our attractions. These items include, but are not limited to, cell phones, selfie sticks/Go-Pros, keys, cameras, bags/purses, wallets, backpacks, stuffed animals, prizes, umbrellas, beverage containers, food, drinks, and other small items. The loose articles policy for each attraction can be found under the “Additional Restrictions/Accessibility” link located on the information pages for each attraction on Hersheypark’s website, in the Rider Safety & Accessibility Guide, and on the Height Signs located at each attraction.

Except as otherwise noted for a specific attraction, only items that can be secured in cargo pockets, a waist pack, or a zipping jacket pocket are permitted provided they do not interfere with the restraint system, proper riding position, or cause a hazard to guests, employees, and/or the attraction. A cargo pocket must fasten with a velcro or button flap or a zipper. A waist pack must fasten around the waist and have a zipper closure. Additionally, eyeglasses, sunglasses, and long hair, clothing, or accessories must be secured. Loose articles that cannot be secured must be placed in a bag drop area or bin, secured in a locker, or kept with a non-rider.
Hersheypark and its employees are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items, which include items that fall out of pockets or items left in bag drop/bin areas and do not assume responsibility for the loss of, or damage to, such items, or injuries that result from the failure of guests to comply with Hersheypark’s loose articles policies.
