I have been to kennywood park Since I was young And I'm 64 now and I still enjoy the rides very much love the roller coasters especially And the other rides are not bad as well. They have also added a few rides, I like about it you don't have to walk so far to get from 1 place to another it's very cozy and the food selection is very good, And also get free drinks because I'm a gold pass card holder... Yes If you're going to go there over twice a year you should become at least a gold card member and it comes with many perks such as discounts on food and Novelty items, and free parking

We had a good time today at the Kennywood fall fest and Fright night. The park was crowded with long lines but worth the wait. The granddaughters enjoyed the fun.

"$12 processing fee per ticket."

When they start charging a $12 "processing fee" for tickets (each) is when I stop going. Delgrossos doesn't do that. We cancelled our order and went there instead.

This was my first time at Kennywood Park in years. I was back home and took my son and grandson. I was surprised by some of the reviews on here. Anyhow our time there was good. I love how this park has a long history. Not many amusement parks have that. It has a mix of old and new. There were some rides I wished were still there. The log jammer and turnpike. I understand they have to keep up with the times. Overall we had a great time. I got to get my potato patch fries which was always a favorite. They also no longer take cash as a payment. That took me by surprise.
