Hershey in October

Has anyone ever been to Hershey Park in October? We%26#39;re going the 18- 20th and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the Hershey area in the fall. I would guess the park isn%26#39;t as crowded as the summer?

Hershey should be very nice in October. Just be aware that the weather can be very unpredictable in Central PA at that time of year. The weather also tends to predict the crowds at Hershey in October; however, overall the crowds shouldn%26#39;t be what they can be in the summer. FYI, all of the park rides are not open for Halloween in the Dark. For more info, check out their website:

Hershey in October

We went to Hershey last year around Halloween and it was great (70 degrees, no lines and we went on a weekend), so you may get lucky far as crowds and weather are concerned. But as the above poster said, weather in central PA is very unpredictable (heck, snow is possible!)

we went during easter in 07 and it snowed...so weather is not easy to know. We also have been for xmas 4 or 5 times...we have had 7 degree frigid temps and 50 degree oh so nice. Go and enjoy..just check weather.com and dress for whatever life brings you.

As far as crowds, don%26#39;t know during that time. But I think you can assume the same as xmas or easter....if the weather is nice more ';locals'; will be there and therefore more crowds. Sometimes, the ';iffier'; the weather, the less the crowds.

Please report on your trip!
