This is the first incident that we can recall of what appeared to be a frightened raccoon acting in this manner at Hersheypark. We do have extensive fencing to help prevent this type of incident from occurring. Guest safety is and will always be our top priority at Hersheypark. As such, we have a full complement of public safety and health professionals on property who responded quickly to render necessary care to the two people impacted.
Out of an abundance of caution, we did transport those impacted to a local hospital for observation. While the raccoon has not been captured, it has not made another appearance in Hersheypark since the incident.Stay Connected
