We Returned to Hersheypark Dark Nights… and It Was Different!

We’re BACK at Hersheypark Dark Nights 2026! After visiting earlier in the season, we returned with the girls to take on the haunted houses and scare zones again—and this time, the scares seemed to be turned up a notch! But this visit isn't just about getting scared. We're also digging into the stories behind the attractions, exploring the worlds Hersheypark has created, and seeing what has changed since our previous visits. 🎃 *IN THIS VIDEO* We explore the haunted houses and scare zones of Hersheypark Dark Nights, including: 👻 Haunted Coal Mine 🧙 Darkstone's Hollow 🔮 Path of Shadows: Coven's Curse 🏚️ Estate of Evil 🚂 Reese's Depot of Doom ☢️ Fallout Zone 🎪 Midway of Misery 🔧 Kill 'N Fill Garage 🤡 Twisted Carnevil 🔪 Auntie Mortem's Abattoir We also visit Treatville and the Avenue of the Afterlife, where Hersheypark offers a different side of the Halloween experience. This is our return visit to Dark Nights, and we noticed more characters, new story elements, and some seriously intense scares. Was it better than our earlier visit? By the end of the night, we had plenty to talk about!
