Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I park?

Please look for the square white traffic “Event Parking” signs as you arrive on campus.  Milton Hershey School will have signs (and staff) on hand to help you find your way to the closest available parking lot. As parking lots fill, they will be closed, and you will be directed to the next available lot.

Please arrive early and be patient during the arrival (and exiting) process. For those who arrive after nearby lots are full, you will be able to park in a lot and take a shuttlebus to Founders Hall.

Once you have parked, you can follow the “Event Entrance” signs along the sidewalks and paths to the nearest entry door into the venue.

After the event is concluded, we will have signs in place outside the venue exits to direct you back toward your appropriate parking location and then off campus.

When do the doors open?

Founders Hall will be open starting at 6:30 p.m. and doors to the theatre will open at 7 p.m.

Is there an elevator?

There is a small lift to help guests who need assistance getting to the upper levels of the auditorium.
