About Giant Center

Giant Center is an indoor multi-purpose arena located at 550 West Hershey Park Dr. in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Opened in 2002, it is owned and operated by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company and serves as a major live-event venue within the Hersheypark entertainment complex. The arena seats approximately 10,500 for hockey and around 12,500 for concerts and center-stage configurations, with capacity adjusted for smaller event setups.

The venue is home ice for the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League, one of the most successful and storied franchises in AHL history. Giant Center replaced the historic Hersheypark Arena, which opened in 1936 and long served as the Bears’ home. Beyond hockey, the arena hosts concerts across genres, family shows such as ice shows and circus-style productions, comedy, NCAA and scholastic events, and other touring entertainment.

Its location beside Hersheypark, Hersheypark Stadium, and Hershey resort attractions makes Giant Center part of a larger destination entertainment district, and Bears games are known for a notably strong in-arena atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Giant Center is located at 550 West Hershey Park Dr., Hershey, PA 17033 — within the Hersheypark resort complex near Hersheypark, Hersheypark Stadium, and other Hershey attractions.

Driving and Parking: Giant Center is primarily a car-access arena, and most visitors arrive by vehicle. On-site parking lots serve the arena within the Hersheypark complex. For high-demand concerts and well-attended Bears games, arriving early helps avoid lot congestion as crowds build toward event time.

Transit: Public transportation options are limited around the arena, so transit is less practical here than driving or staying nearby. Visitors should plan around vehicle access, parking, or rideshare service when attending events.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at Giant Center. After large concerts and popular Bears games, post-event waits can be longer as traffic clears the Hersheypark complex.

Nearby Accommodation: Multiple lodging options are available in the Hershey resort area, including Hershey Lodge, The Hotel Hershey, and chain hotels in and around Hershey. Staying within the resort complex offers the easiest access for eventgoers who want a shorter arrival and departure experience.

Venue Navigation

Giant Center has a modern indoor arena layout with a seating bowl arranged around the floor or ice and concourses that serve the main seating areas. Understanding your level before arrival makes it easier to move from the entrance to your section, especially for high-attendance concerts and Hershey Bears games.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances open into the arena concourse, which serves the seating bowl and connects guests to sections throughout the venue.

Concourse Levels: Seating is organized into a lower bowl, a club/suite level, and an upper bowl surrounding the arena floor. The layout is straightforward, with concourse access directing guests to the correct seating areas.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available throughout the arena in keeping with standard arena ADA provisions.

Getting to Your Section: Concourse signage and staff help direct guests to sections. The modern concourse layout makes navigation straightforward, though event-night crowds can make it helpful to know your section and level before you arrive.

Dining Options

Inside Giant Center

Giant Center offers standard arena concessions, along with premium and club food service in suite and club areas. Alcohol is available at concession points. As with most arenas, lines can build close to puck drop, showtime, and intermissions, so visiting concessions earlier can make the experience smoother.

Outside the Venue — Hershey Resort Complex and Chocolate Avenue

Dining options are available within the Hershey resort complex and along the Hersheypark and Chocolate Avenue corridor. Visitors can choose from resort restaurants, nearby chains, and additional dining in and around Hershey before or after an event.

Security & Policies

Giant Center maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag restrictions typically apply at Giant Center, with size limits and screening for permitted bags. Bringing only what you need and using a compliant bag helps speed up entry.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, and professional cameras or recording equipment. Event-specific restrictions can apply based on the production or game.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once you have exited. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Guests should expect bag checks, security screening, and digital ticket verification at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps keep the line moving.

How Much Do Tickets to Giant Center Cost?

Giant Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from family shows to headliner concerts and marquee Hershey Bears games.

For Hershey Bears AHL hockey, tickets can start as low as approximately $20–$30 for upper-level seats. Lower-bowl and premium seats are typically higher, especially for stronger matchups, high-demand dates, and playoff games.

For concerts at Giant Center, budget seats typically range from about $40–$60, while premium locations and headliner events can reach $100 or more. Floor seats and lower-bowl locations closest to the stage often see the strongest demand for major touring artists.

For family shows, ticket prices typically fall around $25–$75 depending on the production and seating location. Ice shows, circus-style productions, and other family events can vary by day of week, showtime, and remaining inventory.

Buying earlier generally offers better seat selection and pricing for high-demand concerts and marquee games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Giant Center Seating Guide

Giant Center uses a bowl configuration with lower-level seating, a club/suite level, and an upper level surrounding the floor or ice. Seating can shift by event type, with hockey using the ice layout and concerts adding floor seating or center-stage configurations.

Best Seats at Giant Center

• Best value: Upper-level sections are typically the most affordable option at Giant Center. These seats work well for fans who want access to the arena atmosphere at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl rows nearest the ice or floor put you closest to the game or performance. For concerts, floor seats provide the most direct proximity to the stage setup.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sections along the sides offer strong overall sightlines for both hockey and concerts, balancing view, proximity, and arena energy.
• Premium and suite options: Club seating and suites provide premium amenities and a more elevated event experience.
• For groups: Groups can be accommodated across lower-bowl and club areas, and coordinating contiguous seats early is especially helpful for high-demand concerts and popular Bears games.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy.

Getting Ready for Your Giant Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a car-access arena within the Hersheypark complex.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for high-demand events to allow time for parking and lot congestion within the Hersheypark complex.
• Wear the right footwear. Giant Center is a standard indoor arena with concourse walking and stairs to seating levels, so comfortable shoes make moving around the venue easier.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoor and climate-controlled, but you will have some outdoor exposure during parking and arrival walks.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Large concerts and well-attended Bears games can create congestion in the Hersheypark complex as event time approaches.
• Know your entrance. Knowing your section and level in advance helps streamline entry and movement through the concourse for large events.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
