I took my kids 9, 7 and 3 to Kennywood for the first time last summer. I heard over and over how great it was and was hoping for the best for my kids. I was sooo disappointed. The absolutely foul language coming from the teens in the long lines was beyond "R" rated. I would never let my little... More

My grandparents always take me and my brother when we come to visit. They recently opened "The Black Widow" and it is one of the best experiences of my life. It's even more fun when you go with friends. They have lots of wooden roller coasters and great food. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to have fun.

Every other ride either got stuck with people on it , had mechanical problems or was shut down in mid wait in the line. The food stands were completely unorganized , handing out food , while in line to pay for it,... More

I live pretty close to the park and have been here so many times. Each time is always creating more and more memories. Everyone remembers their forst time on the Phantom, or the first time they had Potato Patch fries. It is just wonderful. Also, to know the historical background of the park is cool! My only complaints are that... More

I visited this park numerous times since childhood and it has been a hometown favorite. One of the best rides is the Jack Rabbit, a wooden roller-coaster that has been around for a long time. You literally jump out of your seat on one of the dips. If you want a massive park with tons of rides then this is... More

This park is fun for the entire family. It is not a huge park, but is a wonderful family-friendly park that you can enjoy all the rides in a single day. They also sell season passes if you plan on visiting frequently. The park offers roller coasters, water rides, a separate section for the smaller kids, everything you need for... More

More roller coaster rides than I can handle. Nice place to take the family and enjoy the cool outdoors on a summer evening. Tasty fries and ice cream at the concession stands.

I like kennywood park, there is alot of rides and games but it all the same. You need to change things around the same thing gets boring, year after year. They need to put money into it the park.

Kennywood is getting way too expensive. The only time my family and I go is for my husband's company picnic when tickets are only 10.00. It is a Pittsburgh icon but it needs more updated rides. Not real impressed with the park because the lines are long and the park is rather small.

The park has rides that take you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. There is a nice mix of rides for young and old. The Jack Rabbit wooden roller coaster is thrilling and there isn't another one like in existence. The old time carousel is a perfect way to end your day. The park is not huge like Great... More
