Tip: This arena is located at Hersheypark…read more Hersheypark Sports Complex contains Giant Center, which is home arena for the Hershey Bears, which is the American Hockey League (AHL) farm team of the Boston Bruins. The Bears have an amazing winning record. Years ago, when the Manitoba Moose (the AHL farm team of the Winnipeg Jets) was making its playoff run, it had a series against the Hershey Bears. Like the passionate hockey fan that I can be, I did a road trip from Markham to Hershey, PA. I also visited the Hershey store while I was in the city. I love Hershey's chocolate, but I was here for the game. I attended game 4 of the playoffs series. I remember speaking to a parking attendant and paying for parking. She said, "Go, Bears!" to me. She didn't realize that my vehicle had a Ontario licence plate and I was likely cheering for the opponent. I don't recall getting any snacks or drinks during the game. I do recall having a decent view of the rink and being sad that the Moose had lost against the Bears in that game. Bears fans are passionate folks. It was nice to see. One of these days, I'll need to return and take in an AHL game. I wasn't on Yelp back then and didn't take a ton of photos. I will next time. (354)

Season Ticket Holder Perspective (Section 104, Row C, Seats 1 & 2)…read more If you're going to do hockey in Hershey, you do it at the Giant Center and my seats (Section 104, Row C, 1 & 2) are chef's kiss for Hershey Bears games. Three rows off the ice means you feel every hit, hear every skate carve, and occasionally get a good "did-I-just-flinch-at-a-puck?" moment. And if you're lucky you might just get a puck! The view straight across the ice is fantastic. Now... the view down toward the far goal on the right? Yeah, no. The distortion from the glass is rough. It's like watching hockey through a funhouse mirror. You'll catch the general idea but don't expect crystal clarity unless the play comes back your way. Sound System for Bears Games: Let me be blunt... it's aggressively loud. Like "why am I being yelled at by speakers during warm-ups?" loud. If you're sensitive to sound, bring earplugs or prepare to be spiritually tackled by the decibel levels. Concerts: This is where the Giant Center gets unpredictable. Most concerts I've seen here suffer from rough acoustics... muddy sound, too much reverb, and vocals that disappear into a void. BUT Trans-Siberian Orchestra on 11/23/25? Shockingly great. Crisp, powerful, balanced. It was the rare show where the sound team actually tamed the concrete cavern. Parking: Oh boy. Getting in and out is a nightmare. It is chaos every single time. Too many lanes funneling into too few exits. Every event at Hershey Park, Hershey Stadium AND the Giant Center all fighting for the same roads. If you come here often, pack patience and maybe a snack for the car. Food & Concessions: Perfectly average venue fare, nothing amazing, definitely nothing healthy, and priced like it's made of truffles and hopes. You're paying for convenience and location, not culinary excellence. Overall: This is our local go-to venue, and I'll always show up for my Bears and the big touring acts. The energy is great, the games are a blast, and concerts can be magical when the sound behaves. But between the parking mess, inconsistent acoustics, and sensory-overload sound levels at games, it's far from perfect. Still... it's Hershey. It's home. And I'll be back in my same seats next week yelling for the Bears.

My pictures are a mixture of new photos (butterfly exhibit) and old ones (that I apparently never…read moreposted from when my son was 13 and interviewed at the MHS he's now 17 and graduating high school this year lol). The butterfly exhibit alone was worth the repeat visit. The grounds are calming and the view of the amusement park from the gardens is spectacular.

Ok, now I have been to Hershey Gardens both in the winter and when, you know, there are actually…read moreliving plants. As expected, the gardens are beautiful and meticulously well kept. In the middle of all the beauty is a fairly robust play area for the little ones, including a big fake cacao tree! We had a hard time convincing the kids to leave. If you are heading here without kids, then my all means please enjoy a relaxing stroll through the grounds. Years from now I may join you! Also, the butterfly room is worth visiting every time.

I saw Guns N Roses at Hershey. We were able to get floor/field seats. The acoustics are amazing…read more The employees are great. Then there's the rest.., The stadium is old, the bathrooms are old. Getting out after a concert was next level. We were staying about eight miles away and Ubered to the concert. At 70 minutes we still couldn't get a ride (walking to the outlets). Concessions are limited. Food trucks are overpriced. The concert itself was great and the tickets were competitively priced. It's just entering/exiting logistics that were challenging. Overall it's a great venue to hear the actual show but get ready for delays leaving.

The venue is @ 90 years old and it's obvious…read more The men's bathroom had a significant shortage of sinks. Not sure if they just expect people to not wash theirs hands. The parking across the street is a mess. You have to wind through the county side for miles just to get in despite other entrances they could open. The same when leaving they force you to drive through the back roads for miles just to end up back on the main roads next to the parking field. Crossing the street to get to the venue from parking is a mess. You would think after 90 years they would build a pedestrian bridge or tunnel to and from the venue. Image 10k+ people trying to exit at once and waiting on the light to change. The purse policy was inconsistently being enforced. They could post someone at the crosswalk if they are going to turn people around for small clutch purses to avoid a long way back to the car. Don't foresee me returning to this logistical nightmare.

Beware of the dollar dog night promotion. We got to the arena 15 minutes after the game started…read moreand learned that the promotional one dollar hotdog had been sold out in the entire arena. Well, I understand it's only a hot dog my concern is that the lack of either proper planning or integrity of the promotion is realistic. It's disappointing to see an entity like this. Do such a poor job in attracting people for a promotion and do such a poor execution.

My local favorite ice hockey team. So much fun! I had the fortune of seeing the Bears each season…read moresince I've been about 18. The Hershey Bears (Originally the Hershey Bars) are a professional Ice Jockey team - they've been operating since the 1938-1939 season. Parking usually runs $10/game. My previous employer had a suite at their home arena, The Giant Center. So for the past few years, I had access to that. Other family members are season ticket holders. Tickets can run anywhere from $12.00 for Reese's / Ollie's cheaps seats to up to $100 for seats next to the ice. Always a great family time. #23
