Hi, I am going to be going to Hershey Park very soon, in the next month or so. I was hoping someone would be able to give me an idea of what I can eat there. This is our first visit since my diaganosis. We always get the Pizza, but that is out!!! Never really looked around at the other items since the pizza was so good. Thanks to anyone that is able to help me.

From their website:

"Guests with Gluten allergens can review menu ingredient listings on our website for gluten free options. Gluten bread/rolls can be given as a replacement for non-gluten free rolls in the following locations: Minetown Restaurant, Craftbarn Kitchen, Decades and Crustano's. For gluten free rolls and bread please see a Food & Beverage team member."

Here are the links to the restaurants:

Minetown: Open Original Shared Link

Craftbarn: Open Original Shared Link

Decades: Open Original Shared Link

Crustano: Open Original Shared Link

Enjoy!!

I am from that area and I can tell you this.

Hotel Hershey-serves gluten free meals...listed on a menu, a little pricey and not really a place for children but I see kids there.

Red Robin--I have had nothing but good things to say about that place. It is located alongside the park. On HersheyPark Drive

Issacs which is away from the park a bit, is also good with allergies. I have had good things there.

Outback--not in Hershey at all, Union Deposit off I-83.

Festia Mexico is off of I-83 Paxton st exit. Just take 322 to I-83S and it's the first exit.

I love their fajhitas (no tortilla) and tacos.

What about anything within Hershey Park...not in Hershey itself?

I seldom go to Hershey Park, and when I don't stay long enough to eat. I am not even sure what is all to eat at the park. I usually buy dippin dots.

I do eat in the other places I listed because I work in Hershey and we often go out to lunch. I can help in that area.

There's a jewish market there. I can't remember the name of it, but it has a small list of gluten free items: hot dogs, potato chips, etc. Just be sure that they're planning on being open the day that you're going. I know they close for all Jewish holidays and some other days too. The same jewish market is at Dutch Wonderland and I always just get a hot dog no bun. Also, you're allowed to take in a small, soft sided cooler if you have allergies (or Celiac).

Hi Kim,

Hershey Park is amazing. Go to their website and type in "gluten free". They have three of the restaurants with gluten-free bread stored in their freezer, and you can come in ask for a sandwich or burger or whatever on gluten-free bread. They defrost it on a separate paper plate and hand it to you.

I keep kosher and have celiac, so I asked for a gluten-free bun without the hamburger, and they gave me this delicious gluten-free warm, defrosted bread. I was very happy.

You might want to call the particular restaurant before you go, though, and make sure they still have gluten-free bread. I think it's a case of, someone buys it, but do they remember to buy more when they run out?

Have a great time. I know I did.

Thank you everyone for all of your help. We have gone to Hershey Park many times, but I have never needed to worry about special food. This makes the idea of going sound much more fun. I can enjoy myself if I don't need to worry about where I will eat and how I will feel.

Kim

      Gluten-Mimicking Proteins that can affect some Celiac individuals.

      Hi Scott: A wonderful, thoughtful explanation. Controlled human studies would be very interesting and quite informative. I have been eliminating certain foods and have narrowed it down considerably. Having other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac has become rather challenging. I appreciate your input, thank you. All the best, Florence

      Hector, have you had a follow-up biopsy to check the progress of small bowel villous lining recovery after going gluten free?

      @HectorConvector, Please try adding Niacin to your supplements. Low Niacin has a connection with suicidal ideation. Been here, done that. Niacin made me feel better mentally and physically. Omega Three fats will help, too. For pain, Thiamine, B12 and, Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic effects when taken together. I know this works...

      Hi Florence, thank you for clarifying — and no worries at all about late-night writing. I appreciate you explaining that you’re specifically asking about gluten cross-reactivity, particularly the proposed immune cross-reaction between alpha-gliadin and certain non-gluten foods on a gluten-free diet. It’s an interesting and often confusing topic. The Vojda...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with such intense burning pain right now. When symptoms get that overwhelming, it can feel unbearable and even trigger really dark thoughts, and that’s a sign of just how much you’ve been carrying — not a sign of weakness. It makes sense that you’d want to go back to a lower-carb, meat-and-vegetable approach if that’s help...

      @HectorConvector, Please try adding Niacin to your supplements.  Low Niacin has a connection with suicidal ideation.  Been here, done that.  Niacin made me feel better mentally and physically.  Omega Three fats will help, too. For pain, Thiamine, B12 and, Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic effects when taken together.  I know this works because I've cracked some vertebrae and this combination relieves the pain.  I was prescribed opioids, but couldn't function or poop, so... I can highly recommend these vitamins for pain relief.   I adopted a paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Improving intestinal health improves mental health because of the gut brain-axis.  Important neurotransmitter Serotonin is made in the digestive system.   Please Read... Association between dietary niacin intake and suicidal ideation: mediating role of C-reactive protein https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40859220/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      Hi Florence, thank you for clarifying — and no worries at all about late-night writing. I appreciate you explaining that you’re specifically asking about gluten cross-reactivity, particularly the proposed immune cross-reaction between alpha-gliadin and certain non-gluten foods on a gluten-free diet. It’s an interesting and often confusing topic. The Vojdani & Tarash paper you mentioned did report antibody cross-reactivity in laboratory settings, which has led to a lot of discussion in the gluten-free community. However, it’s important to note that in-vitro antibody reactions (in a lab dish) don’t always translate into clinically meaningful reactions inside the human body. At this point, major celiac research centers generally conclude that true immune cross-reactivity to non-gluten foods in people with celiac disease hasn’t been clearly demonstrated in well-controlled human studies. That said, many individuals do report symptoms with foods like corn, dairy, oats, or others, and those reactions can absolutely be real — they just may involve different mechanisms, such as food intolerance, FODMAP sensitivity, separate immune responses, or individual gut permeability differences rather than molecular mimicry of gliadin specifically. If certain foods consistently trigger symptoms for you, keeping a structured food and symptom log and discussing it with a knowledgeable gastroenterologist or dietitian may help clarify patterns. It’s a nuanced area, and your question is thoughtful — we just have to separate what’s biologically plausible in theory from what’s been conclusively demonstrated in patients.

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with such intense burning pain right now. When symptoms get that overwhelming, it can feel unbearable and even trigger really dark thoughts, and that’s a sign of just how much you’ve been carrying — not a sign of weakness. It makes sense that you’d want to go back to a lower-carb, meat-and-vegetable approach if that’s helped reduce symptoms before; sometimes dialing things back to simple, whole foods can calm inflammation or gut irritation. At the same time, your safety and mental health matter just as much as the physical symptoms. If the suicidal thoughts are feeling strong or hard to control, please consider reaching out for immediate support — in the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest emergency room if you feel at risk. You don’t have to handle this alone. It may also be worth checking in with your doctor soon to review what’s changed and see if there are adjustments or treatments that could ease the burning pain more effectively. You deserve relief, and you deserve support while you figure this out.
