Stevie Nicks - the end of her tour - The image shows a concert stage with a large digital screen displaying artistic images of musicians, including a woman with a guitar and a man with a beard. Stage lighting and performers are visible, with an audience in front. The setting appears to be an outdoor stadium or arena, with the focus on the digital display and stage setup.

We were thrilled to have an opportunity to see Stevie Nicks in person. Her voice is still strong, and she is truly a legend. However, the concert venue was a disaster. Getting into the parking lot was a maze although when we arrived for the concert at around 5:45, there was still plenty of free parking. The venue itself is need of serious updating with metal bleacher seating. Two people in front of us were also drunk, high, or both. Then an argument broke out behind us which ended with one person slinking off to get security. Good luck with that. She returned to her seat by herself. The bathroom lines were also horrifically long, and the bathrooms looked like they hadn't been updated since the 80s. But the worse problem of the evening came when we tried to leave the parking lot. We literally were in standstill traffic for at least one hour. Their way of getting people out of the stadium parking lot is nonexistent. We felt trapped. I believe they kept the parking gates closed on the exterior parking lots until the interior parking lots emptied. Then they opened the gates (with one poor, elderly man trying to keep the traffic moving with a light). Where was all his help? We saw about 10 safety workers standing at a pedestrian crosswalk with nothing to do. Why was no one directing traffic? It was insanity and every man for himself. I get it that there were 30,000 people leaving the concert, but there is absolutely no system to get them out in a safe, orderly manner. I will seriously reconsider going back there again for a concert.

Came here for Amable, Gigi Perez and Hozier. The concert was amazing but the place had some issues. One, you had to wait almost an hour to find a parking spot and had to walk almost a mile to get to the actual stadium. Two, why do the bags have to be so small? Our bag was luckily able to get us in but I'd hate for people to have to walk a mile back just because their bag is too big. Lastly, driving out was horrendous. Took almost 2 hours and all the cars were being directed by only two employees.

Mama and I on our second Kendrick show! Hershey was awesome!

We had an AMAZING time at Kendrick Lamar!!!! My mother is a 73 year old SuperFan of Kendrick. After the wonderful show (our second after seeing him here in Charlotte where we live) it was a long walk in the rain to our car, and we were turned around. Christa an employee went and got a golf cart and was so so nice to carry us to my vehicle as my mom has difficulty walking long distances. I really want her kindness acknowledged, as she was already off the clock and on her way home. We will definitely remember her for going out of her way to assist us! Hershey was amazing and the show was too!

standstill traffic at 12:15 am

I have been to multiple concerts at the hersheypark stadium and I can say without a doubt it is the worst venu I have ever been to. If you don't arrive 5 hours early to the concert you are left stuck in 3 hr traffic only while being 1 mile from the stadium. Exiting is even worse as you are left in stand still traffic for about another 2 hours after the concert just to be able to leave the parking lot. The seating is uncomfortable and packed like sardines in the bleachers. I will go to a concert across the country before I spend my money on a hershey ticket EVER again. I need a conversation with Mr. Hershey chocolate himself about this godforsaken place. Save your time and see your favorite artist in another state if you can. I appreciate the staff for trying their best but still it was an exhausting experience when it was supposed to enjoyable throughout!

Janet!!! - The image shows a concert stage at Hersheypark Stadium during the evening, with a large crowd in front. The stage is equipped with multiple screens displaying performers, and colorful lighting effects illuminate the scene. The stadium's name is visible at the top, indicating the venue's location. The audience is seated or standing, watching the performance under dark skies.

Parking was convenient Free Parking was included with the concert ticket price! Nice stadium staff Very helpful!

This place absolutely blows! A great evening with my Father in the pit ended up a waste of a few hundred bucks because of the fun-sucking 'security' guards (especially this one.) This place seriously wastes no time to kick people out and hands out citations left and right. Don't expect to have any fun without security trynna cramp your style, they are out to get you and send you to the police (the cops are the only good thing ab this venue, they are very nice and approachable.) Unfortunately, once security takes you out there is no chance you'll get back into the venue and you'll probably end up with a citation or handcuffs. They give no warnings or opportunities for you to give your side of the story. STEER FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. And if you see this square, RUN before he kicks you out. He is on a war path to ruin fun and waste peoples money. Saw him bring out multiple concert attendees-he has got to hold the record for the security guard who has drained the most fun out of an event. Also, lines to get into venue are a mob and don't bother asking security for help because they have no idea what's going on either.

Giant Center

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.

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)

Comparing the cost to see these shows on Broadway in NYC versus here closer to home it was a package that made sense. We LOVED having the same seats for Hamilton, Beetlejuice, Ain't Too Proud, & Pretty Woman. Our seats were my favorite, but you can't have a bad seat. I've seen shows from Orchestra to back row Balcony in the past. Given the age of the theatre & how theatre seating is so very tight (esp in nyc) , Hershey Theatre is comfortable. I try to picture the long, full elegant gowns worn to the theatre back a century ago & I can't imagine how it could have been comfortable! But if those women made it through a theatre night, I certainly can too. For this theatre season, the air & heating systems seemed a problem for me. It was blustery cold outside but to warm & stuffy inside so it was a challenge to figure out how to dress appropriately. They never started on time. I don't know if it's the opening door time, enhanced security, or the show tour itself but time management seemed to be an issue this season at the Saturday 2pm shows. Snacks and drinks are provided for a reasonable fee. Regular care & maintenance was maintained to the rest rooms. And everything else people like to know about like parking & wifi plus the heating & cooling system is getting work done in 2025 so save your $$$ and get ready for an EPIC return to theatre when Hershey Theatre re-opens their doors after renovation!!!

High Point Mansion - Milton S. Hershey Mansion

High Point Mansion

The Milton S. Hershey mansion which is known as High Point was built in 1908 and was the home of…read moreHershey Chocolate founder Milton S. and Catherine Hershey. It's the home that chocolate built. Compared to other wealthy industrialists, such as the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts, High Point, designed by Henry Herr was very modest in size with only 22 rooms and a large front porch. After Catherine's death in 1915, Milton didn't want to have much to do with the place and sold or gave away most all the furnishings, and moved upstairs to three rooms while the house was turned into the clubhouse for the local golf course. The funny thing is that he used to call those three rooms with his porch overlooking the grounds, Atlantic City, so when people would come by looking for him, he had his staff say that he was in Atlantic City. When the Hershey country club was founded in 1930 Milton Hershey donated the house to the club and it remained his primary residence until his death in 1945. Later the house was acquired in 1970 by The Milton Hershey school, then purchased by Hershey Foods for its corporate headquarters in 1977 then years later, purchased by the Hershey Trust Company, which now continues their business at that location. Tour tickets are released on the 15th of every month for the following month and tours are held only on Saturdays. The tickets are sold on a first come, first serve basis, so it's best to plan ahead to get your tickets. the tours typically last 60 to 75 minutes and will require a good bit of standing and walking and there is no seating available. The tickets are only sold online and must be purchased at least one day in advance and they are not sold at the mansion. There is a 10 guest maximum per tour and you need to arrive 10 minutes prior to your tour at the bottom of the front porch steps. There is free parking available in the adjoining lot and while walking the grounds and taking as many pictures as you'd like on the grounds is admissible photography is not permitted inside the building. The docent and volunteers that run the program are well-versed and quite knowledgeable in all aspects of Milton, Hershey and his wife, Catherine, along with all the artifacts, original and reproduction furnishings that are located throughout the house. They were able to answer all of our questions, and even gave us some food for thought concerning the building of the house, cost of the house when built and the current structure of the house as it is today. A visit to the mansion is a definite must for anybody that's interested in the history of Milton, Hershey, and how he brought chocolate to the masses.
