Description

Featuring over 40 rides and attractions, Kennywood is Pittsburgh’s premier destination for family fun and entertainment! Open since 1898 and one of only two amusement parks designated as a National Historic Landmark, Kennywood offers an unmatched mix of modern thrills and fun classic rides. There are eight roller coasters, a 12-ride Kiddieland, and areas themed to Thomas & Friends™ and the Pittsburgh Steelers, highlighted by the record-setting Steel Curtain, and its famous Potato Patch fries!

Founded as a trolley park in 1898, and celebrating 125 seasons in 2023, the Kennywood experience extends beyond summer with popular Halloween and Holiday events, including Fright Night and Phantom Fall Fest, and Kennywood Holiday Lights featuring an abundance of holiday cheer.

Kennywood’s three coasters from the 1920s join attractions like Noah’s Ark and Kangaroo as rarities that cannot be found anywhere else. The Jack Rabbit, a wooden out-and-back roller coaster, is one of the oldest operating coasters in the world. Alongside the classics, thrill-seekers can enjoy modern roller coasters like Phantom's Revenge, Exterminator, Sky Rocket, and, of course, the park's biggest thriller—The Steel Curtain.

Great for families, Kiddieland offers pint-sized thrills like the Lil' Phantom roller coaster and the Whippersnapper, along with more gentle rides, offering something for everyone.

"Beautiful park"

Reviewed February 25, 2026

What an absolutely stunning park. The Christmas lights were fantastic. The rides area blast. The Jack Rabbit is such a classic with some great airtime in the double down. Parking was a breeze. The orice was great and so was the food. So many unique, classic rides

Great park. Went here for holiday Lights and had a great experience. I was worried that there would be a drop in quality with the new owners. But staff and experience is as wonderful as I remember as a child

"Christmas time at Kennywood!"

Reviewed January 27, 2026

This is a very decent family amusement park and we visited there on a blistering cold afternoon in December. I thought it would be more crowded as it was Christmas vacation, but the cold probably held some people back. Some rides were dated and the rides were not so great for my children, heights 110 cm, either because they were not able to ride due to limited height and they could not ride even when riding with an adult or some of the rides such as in Kiddieland were too childish. If we were there for rides alone, it would not have been such a memorable evening though. We were also there to see the park all brightly lit. During Christmas, nights at Kennywood come alive and are very festive as the place is beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and for that alone, this trip was memorable.
