Dark Nights at Hershey Park Fright Night, Ladies Night

We've done the sweet stuff. Now we're doing the screaming.
Dark Nights is back at Hersheypark for its fifth year, and it's the biggest one yet — five haunted houses and five scare zones, including a brand-new one for 2026.

I do get a discount on tickets so please don't buy your tickets yet! I need to wait until the end of August to see what the discount rate is. If anyone is interested, we can get an AirBNB. We will talk about that later!

We will meet for dinner at the Chocolatier at 4 PM (please sign up the in separate meet up)

The darkness rolls in at 6 p.m., and after that the whole park changes: fog in the walkways, creatures where you don't expect them, and lights-out rides.

Tickets cover all five houses, all five scare zones, fifty-plus rides, and the whole Halloween lineup — plus a genuinely absurd food situation. There are themed cocktails. There are Terror Tots. We will need to purchase the fast pass. Or else we will only be able to get through one or two haunted houses.

Not a screamer? Totally fine. The Halloween side runs all day and stays family-friendly, there's plenty of park to enjoy without stepping into a single house, and there's no shame in being the woman holding everyone's bags outside. That's a legitimate role.
Wear real shoes. Bring a jacket for after sundown. Prepare to have me grab ahold of you when I get scared....

RSVP by October 10th — if we hit 15 of us we unlock the group rate, so bring a friend.
