Hersheypark has cashless payments throughout the park. Here are the options that were given to us by our park representative.  
1. Hersheypark will have cash-to-card kiosks in 5 separate locations throughout the park. Also, the kiosk will provide a VISA gift card that if not used totally within the park, can be used at locations that accept VISA outside of the park.  
2. Hersheypark encourages guests to purchase a Hersheypark gift card via the link below prior to visiting the park: https://www.hersheypa.com/things-to-do/shopping/gift-cards-egift.php We are looking forward to a fantastic trip and stellar performances from our student musicians.
