At Hersheypark, your safety and security are our top priority! The Pennsylvania Department of Health has instituted a maximum number of allowed guests in each of our aquatic attractions. Consistent with all of our other rides and attractions, all water attractions within The Boardwalk utilize a line queuing system. In order to ensure safety and a consistent experience for all guests, riders enter and exit attractions via designated points. As guests exit the attraction, additional guests will be permitted to enter. Due to capacity and safety standards, timed swim sessions may be initiated to ensure that each guest may safely enjoy time in this attraction. Rude and deliberate line jumping that inconveniences other guests may result in dismissal from Hersheypark without compensation.

As a courtesy to others, modest dress is expected of all guests, and revealing or offensive clothes are not considered appropriate.
