Hershey park and dutch wonderland combo tickets

When the Lancaster County amusement park opens Saturday, it will only accept credit, debit, and prepaid cards or secure mobile payments.

LANCASTER, Pa. — Editor's note: The above video is from Feb. 7.

Another Central Pennsylvania amusement park has released plans to go cashless for the 2022 season.

Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster County announced its cashless plan on Monday, saying the move will provide its guests with "a more efficient, convenient, and visitor-friendly process to pay for park tickets and treats."

Earlier this spring, Hersheypark announced similar plans. Both parks are owned by Hershey Entertainment.

When Dutch Wonderland opens on Saturday, the park will only accept credit, debit, and prepaid cards or secure mobile payments throughout the property. 

The switch allows for a smoother and safer experience for guests, who can make payments with cards in addition to using secure mobile payment systems such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, the park said.

Dutch Wonderland accepts all major credit and prepaid debit cards including MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.

Guests who prefer cash can use new, free "Cash-to-Card" kiosks to convert up to $500 cash onto a prepaid card, which can be used to buy tickets, merchandise, and food and drinks throughout the park. The cards can also be used free of fees outside the park anywhere cards are accepted, Dutch Wonderland said.

“Becoming a cashless park will provide guests with a better and safer experience throughout their entire day here at the Kingdom for Kids,” General Manager James Paulding said in a press release announcing the move. “We expect to see wait times decrease for food and retail stores, and have added several Cash-to-Card kiosks throughout the park to provide guests a simple and easy way to convert their cash onto a card."

  4. Annette says:

    If I buy these now, will the deal still apply beacuse it says a date involving July 31. I’d like to know if I’m getting the deal now or if I have to buy from August 1 and so on. Thank you, answer is urgent, again, thanks.

    • Duane says:

      Hi Annette,
      The tickets you buy now are good all season long. The only change after July 31 is that the ticket price goes up on our site. If you want the best deal for tickets you will use after July 31 buy them before that date.
      Thank you for the support.

  10. Mike says:

    Hey Duane,

    Just purchased 3 tickets from the website, my concern is – the dates of use on the tickets, operating schedule “may dates/Sept dates, I want to use these tickets tomorrow, 7/9/13. Are these tickets good for the entire summer 2013, with no date restrictions? Please reply asap! Thanks in advance for your time!

    • Duane says:

      Hi Mike,
      The tickets are valid from early May when the park opens until the end of September.
      Thank you for the support.

  11. Emily says:

    This was a great deal! I have to be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect since I googled “Hershey Park discounted tickets” and stumbled upon this site. But we went for it — bought two tickets — and everything went smoothly. We live in Virginia, aren’t associated with Boy Scouts in any way and we were perfectly fine! I just pulled up my confirmation number on my iphone so they could print our tickets,out at the front window and we got right in. Thanks for this deal, and I hope you raise a lot of $$ this year.

    • Duane says:

      Thanks for the Support Emily!!
      Duane

  12. Bob says:

    Why do you need to enter names for each ticket? Can’t you just purchase tickets and give them to someone to use? Having to put in a name restricts who can use them?

    • Duane says:

      Hi Bob,
      That is something Hersheypark requires, I do know that the names are not checked on the tickets when you go through the gate.
      Thank you for the support.

    This is such a great deal. Used these tickets for Day 1 and then the kids wanted to go back. Had to find a FedEx office to login and print my tix since I didn’t bring a laptop! Totally worth the $3 it cost me to use their internet and print my tix.

    Hi Folks,
    I just wanted to let you know that I took advantage of these discounted tickets and the whole process was very easy. The link takes you directly to the Hershey website where it prompts you to enter the promo code. The price is awesome! (Retail price of tickets is close to $60). I received my e-tickets via email within a couple of hours. They worked flawlessly at the gate and we were able to use the pre-purchased line which was much quicker. Best of all, the tickets included a preview plan which allowed us to go to the park from 7:30-10pm the night before and only paid for parking once. Thank you so much for this discount!

    • Duane says:

      Hi Sally,
      Thank you for the support!

    Thank you for sharing this discount. We are going to a concert, the dicounted tix for concert goers do not allow the preview. However, theses dicounted tix through the Boy Scouts do include the preview night.(I confirmed with Hershey Park). I will use the savings to enjoy a nice meal in Hershey Park Place. I am really happy that it benefits the Boy Scouts. Thanks again.

  50. Jim says:

    If I want to purchase a 2 day pass… is that an option or do I just need to do it twice.. ?

    • Jim says:

      if you do the 2 day pass twice… it comes out the same on hershey website

      • Duane says:

        Hi Jim,
        The difference is that when you purchase 2 one day passes through our site you also support the Scouting program with a $10 contribution.
        Thank you for your support.

Can you use Hersheypark tickets at Dutch Wonderland?

The quick answer is yes, you can preview Hersheypark with the combo ticket exactly as you described. You could also preview Hersheypark on the same day as your trip to Dutch Wonderland if you were squeezed for time.

Is Dutch Wonderland part of Hersheypark?

On November 12, 2010, Hershey Entertainment announced that they sold Dutch Wonderland to Palace Entertainment. The park has 32 rides, plus a tropical-themed interactive water play area called Duke's Lagoon. ... Dutch Wonderland..

Is waterpark included in Hersheypark tickets?

There are 16 water attractions for guests to enjoy and over 1 million gallons of water! The water park is included in the purchase of your Hersheypark ticket and is conveniently located in the middle of the Park. Hours can be viewed on Hersheypark.com, as they may differ from the rest of the Park.

Do adults have to pay for Dutch Wonderland?

The sites and sounds of Dutch Wonderland would be so much fun for babies, but what about the rides? This age range is from infants to one year olds, and would usually be in the Under 30″ height requirement. This age group can actually get into Dutch Wonderland for free (adults still need to pay admission).
