Hersheypark tickets appear to have a flat $0.85 amusement tax per admission ticket in addition to the listed ticket price. The park’s ticket pages also note that prices may include other applicable taxes and fees depending on the offer.

What that means

  • For a standard ticket, add $0.85 to the posted ticket price.
  • Example: if a ticket is advertised at $49.99 , the total would be about $50.84 before any extra processing or service fees.
  • Hersheypark’s pages repeatedly say “plus applicable taxes & fees,” so the final checkout total can be a bit higher than the base ticket price alone.

Why the amount is small

Hersheypark group materials say the admission prices include a $0.85 Derry Township amusement tax , which suggests the ticket tax itself is a fixed local amusement tax rather than a percentage-based sales tax.

Practical takeaway

If you’re budgeting for Hersheypark, the safest quick estimate is:

  1. Take the posted ticket price.
  2. Add $0.85 per ticket.
  3. Add any separate online processing or service fees shown at checkout.

Example

A ticket listed at $87.80 in one group form was broken down as $44.95 + $0.85 amusement tax for that particular offer, showing how the tax is applied as a small fixed charge.

TL;DR: Hersheypark ticket tax is generally $0.85 per ticket , with possible extra checkout fees on top.
