Phantom's Revenge is definitely the star here. It's built into the natural geography, at one point following a cliff down through its own structure and below the level of the rest of the park .

Terri Petzel

It's not the biggest amusement park but it definitely aims to please. So many roller coasters ! And don't leave without getting some Potato Patch fries !!

Tessa Watkins

Coaster VIP pass is like half the price of a regular fun day ticket and totally worth it. Know that some coasters have a height requirement of 52", so beware when purchasing for kids.

Jenya S

Super cool!!! Especially the old wooden rollercoasters like Jack Rabbit - mega fun. Visited during Halloween late night openings, it's even more amazing in the dark???????????? love Kennywood!

Did you know? Kennywood is one of the oldest amusement parks in the country . It opened in 1899 as a “trolley park ,” a suburban amusement park built by trolley companies and linked to cities by trolley Read more

It was very pretty and the light show was great. Long lines at the few rides open and staff were a bit rude. We bought a souvenir cup for 10 bucks that promised free refills but every place was out.

I love that you can bring your own food inside to eat at your leisure. The entrance fee for one day is completely reasonable.

Rob Garfinkel

Not the best park we’ve been to. It was about 1pm before rides started opening up when the park opened at 11am. The best thing about the park was the brisket nachos at a barbecue stand.

Michael Weeks

Great park . Easier to het on rides than Cedar Point. Need more adult rides with newer more exciting options. But great for the kiddos.

Lisa Huston

Great rides and great fries at the potato patch great everything especially the thunderbolt fast line and fast ride

James Desjardins

Racer is a must, a really good old time coaster with one of the best looking entry ways, perfect for having your picture taken in front of

Tiffany Fetterman

Amusement park fun for all ages, including a new Thomas the Train kiddie land area and an antique carousel.

Alexa (@ladylexy) Andrzejewski

More of a full day sort of activity, this is a really classic amusement park like a Coney Island or Old Cedar Point. Went here every summer.

Kim Ferrari

First time there - went on a Friday and was perfect! Longest wait was maybe 30 minutes. Will definitely be back next year!!

Samuel French

Great little park in Pittsburgh, PA. Very nice kiddie land for the little ones.

DoubleTree by Hilton

While you’re here, make sure to spend a day at Kennywood, Roller Coaster Park and home of “Phantoms Revenge ,” just off Kennywood Blvd.

Matt Claney

Actually the check-in is spelled wrong. The entrance says Pittsburg's, to model after how the city used to spell its name... hittin ya with some knowledge !

Renia Owens

Buy a souvenir cup ! It's totally worth the money: 99 cent refills every time and you can even bring it with you if you go to Kennywood multiple times this summer.

Arlene Murphy

Old style amusement park where you can have picnics , enjoy rides, and have great entertainment.

George Maier

Rollercoasters , french fries , and rock n roll mirrors or at least that's what worked here 25 years ago..I'm assuming that review still works!?

Alina Onishchenko

Kennywood is super cool! Try Phantom's revenge, Sky Rocket, eat at The potato patch, and take soft ice cream with jimmies.

Kennywood Park https://foursquare.com/venue/164398Hit up any Giant Eagle for a discount on tickets. (Score!) And be sure to check out the new Sky Rocket while you’re there.

Bobby Cherry

Great park !

John Taylor

Sad to say but other than the traditional wood coasters here not much else is good . Most of rides were closed . Food and drink prices are high . Even if you get tickets on sale it's still not a value

Jacob Fickes

Always an awesome park . I've been going ever since I was little.

Garrett Sauers

Make sure to ride Log Jammer!

JH H-D

Such a great theme park for young and the young at heart

Connor

Showing up on days with bad weather usually means shorter waits, but the park may also close early.

Erin J

Holiday lights was a nice little shindig. But if your child(ren) are under two years old and it is freezing like it was on 12/15/2013, please stay home or find a sitter. It was way too cold.

Chris Micknowski

Fright Nights is the best time of year!

Matthew Salerno

The Potato Patch! The nice balance of old and new rides!

Andy Fang

Check out the historical landmarks ! They're all over the park .

Jeff R.

Scavenger hunt! See how many juggalos you can count by the end of your visit! And avoid Garfield's Nightmare... That thing is awful.

Erin Kelly

Go for the evening pass. It is cheaper and it is just enough time to ride all the coasters!

Michelle Grace

For an old amusement park , this is certainly one of my favorites! Such fun!

Gordon Ramsey

Ride the Pit Fall, Phantom's Revenge, Exterminator, Thunderbolt , and Jack Rabbit . They are a lot better at night to.

Lori

To those complaining about the park ..why even come if your going to be a miserable sack of crap? Of course there are groups of annoying kids..you were one yourself, remember?

Shonna Peters

Best fries EVER!!!

Julie McDonough

Great park , you'll want to go back again and again.

Amy Robb

the skycoaster is definitely worth the extra $$$ !!! so amazing!

Jennifer Hirsch

Parkside Cafe is the only place to get a full soda cup of free ice water; all others give tiny plastic cups

Scott

Lines are to long! Workers never bust a sweat! Never anything new unless they take something out!! But Love the Park !

Jenna W

Get your tickets at giant eagle to save a few bucks

Michael Bobish III
