The wave pool is disgusting, the parents have no control over their kids, and all I hear around the park are people shouting in Spanish to their unruly families. The food and beverages are also EXTREMELY overpriced. The rides are great, but everything else just makes it not worthwhile to go. They price everything high (even parking is $10-$12) so... More

I live only 25 miles away from Dorney park for the last 6 years. I have only been to Dorney once prior to this. It was a company outing and happened to be on a day that was 110 degrees plus dead in the middle of Summer break. I was miserable the three hours I was there. Crowds were unbearable... More

I've been visiting this park since I was a little girl. It just gets bigger and better every year. Loads of fun.

Dorney Park might not have the biggest or fastest rollercoasters in the world but trust me...Their rides will provide you with enough thrill to want to ride them over and over again! The park is nice, clean, safe, and perfect for anyone of all ages! There is even a Planet Snoopy for the little ones to enjoy safe and fun... More

We made this park a stop on our road trip twice, and they still want to come again. There are rides for all levels of comfort. The level of thrill classification is puzzling to me, the wave pools and Riptide Run fit rather a "2" than a "4", while Lili Pad cannot be done by 48" kids, it is too... More

Alot to do. Rides or waterpark. Alot of hills and walking like any other amusement parks. The wooden roller coaster is still there since the 50's when i was a kid. Easy to get to from Route 309 North, South, East or West.

I have a season pass to Dorney park, along with my husband & my 82 year old mother for 4 years. We do not go there on the weekends because it is so crowded & you can't find parking any where. One problem I find is that they allow way too many buses in the park & the lines get... More

During my last visit, which was on a Saturday during the summer, I vowed to never return to Dorney Park. It seemed they bussed in the worst-behaved members of our society in hoards and the staff couldn't keep up with the obnoxious behavior and rampant sloppiness. I see from other posts that we were not the only guests who have... More
