This park is a small that packs a lot of fun for kids of all ages! We were surprised at how well maintained the park is, and how the cosmetic appearance of the park and facilities definitely seems to be a point of pride for the family, which I think is fantastic. I can see just about any group finding... More

Our family has been having an annual Friends and Family Picnic at Waldameer every year for the past 15 yrs. We rent a pavilion and have a wonderful time. The park is always really neat and clean with great landscaping and flowers. The shows are always a plus too. The food is good and reasonably priced for families. The rides... More

Waldameer is a nice, albeit small, park. There are numerous rides for all ages and the park is located next to Presque isle State Park. They have recently added another roller coaster that is very good. There are plenty of picnic grounds for families and a nice water park.

While the old park has some of the charm of yesteryear, everything is so crammed in to the Lakeside site. Rides are diverse enough for a small park, but the water park pools were dirty - YECH

I would have to say that Waldameer is just one of those charming parks that sticks with you. You have plenty of options for recreation from mineral mining, rides, water park, to picnic's. Line wait is reasonable and the variety of attractions offers something for everyone.

We really enjoy Waldamere, it's got tons of activities — rides, games, waterpark. Greta for all ages. It's not huge so you don't get tired of walking. My only complaint is that it's dirty so make sure you bring sanitizer and wear shoes in the bathrooms & showers!

The owner adds a new ride almost every year as he cares about his customers, instead of keeping the profits to himself. The new roller coaster has been... More
