Will BertelsenJune 2, 2013Phantom's Revenge is definitely the star here. It's built into the natural geography, at one point following a cliff down through its own structure and below the level of the rest of the park.
Terri PetzelSeptember 21, 2015It's not the biggest amusement park but it definitely aims to please. So many roller coasters! And don't leave without getting some Potato Patch fries!!
Tessa WatkinsAugust 1, 2015Coaster VIP pass is like half the price of a regular fun day ticket and totally worth it. Know that some coasters have a height requirement of 52", so beware when purchasing for kids.
- Jenya SJuly 13, 2016Super cool!!! Especially the old wooden rollercoasters like Jack Rabbit - mega fun. Visited during Halloween late night openings, it's even more amazing in the dark👍👍👍 love Kennywood!
Richard KingDecember 8, 2015It was very pretty and the light show was great. Long lines at the few rides open and staff were a bit rude. We bought a souvenir cup for 10 bucks that promised free refills but every place was out.

Theresa FiegeJuly 28, 2015I love that you can bring your own food inside to eat at your leisure. The entrance fee for one day is completely reasonable.
Rob GarfinkelSeptember 11, 2022Not the best park we’ve been to. It was about 1pm before rides started opening up when the park opened at 11am. The best thing about the park was the brisket nachos at a barbecue stand.
Michael WeeksAugust 14, 2014Great park. Easier to het on rides than Cedar Point. Need more adult rides with newer more exciting options. But great for the kiddos.- Lisa HustonJuly 17, 2014Great rides and great fries at the potato patch great everything especially the thunderbolt fast line and fast ride
- Tiffany FettermanAugust 6, 2019Amusement park fun for all ages, including a new Thomas the Train kiddie land area and an antique carousel.
James DesjardinsJanuary 19, 2012Racer is a must, a really good old time coaster with one of the best looking entry ways, perfect for having your picture taken in front of
Alexa (@ladylexy) AndrzejewskiJuly 2, 2012More of a full day sort of activity, this is a really classic amusement park like a Coney Island or Old Cedar Point. Went here every summer.
Kim FerrariAugust 11, 2014First time there - went on a Friday and was perfect! Longest wait was maybe 30 minutes. Will definitely be back next year!!
Samuel FrenchMay 23, 2015Great little park in Pittsburgh, PA. Very nice kiddie land for the little ones.
DoubleTree by HiltonAugust 7, 2013While you’re here, make sure to spend a day at Kennywood, Roller Coaster Park and home of “Phantoms Revenge,” just off Kennywood Blvd.
Actually the check-in is spelled wrong. The entrance says Pittsburg's, to model after how the city used to spell its name... hittin ya with some knowledge!
Renia OwensJuly 7, 2011Buy a souvenir cup! It's totally worth the money: 99 cent refills every time and you can even bring it with you if you go to Kennywood multiple times this summer.
Arlene MurphyJanuary 7, 2014Old style amusement park where you can have picnics, enjoy rides, and have great entertainment.- George MaierAugust 11, 2016Rollercoasters, french fries, and rock n roll mirrors or at least that's what worked here 25 years ago..I'm assuming that review still works!?
Alina OnishchenkoOctober 15, 2012Kennywood is super cool! Try Phantom's revenge, Sky Rocket, eat at The potato patch, and take soft ice cream with jimmies.
ZipcarJune 6, 2011Kennywood Park https://foursquare.com/venue/164398Hit up any Giant Eagle for a discount on tickets. (Score!) And be sure to check out the new Sky Rocket while you’re there.
Sad to say but other than the traditional wood coasters here not much else is good . Most of rides were closed . Food and drink prices are high . Even if you get tickets on sale it's still not a value
ConnorAugust 3, 2014Showing up on days with bad weather usually means shorter waits, but the park may also close early.
Erin JDecember 16, 2013Holiday lights was a nice little shindig. But if your child(ren) are under two years old and it is freezing like it was on 12/15/2013, please stay home or find a sitter. It was way too cold.
Check out the historical landmarks! They're all over the park.
Jeff R.August 11, 2014Scavenger hunt! See how many juggalos you can count by the end of your visit! And avoid Garfield's Nightmare... That thing is awful.
Erin KellyFebruary 15, 2012Go for the evening pass. It is cheaper and it is just enough time to ride all the coasters!
Michelle GraceJune 10, 2012For an old amusement park, this is certainly one of my favorites! Such fun!
Gordon RamseyAugust 12, 2010Ride the Pit Fall, Phantom's Revenge, Exterminator, Thunderbolt, and Jack Rabbit. They are a lot better at night to.
LoriJune 9, 2013To those complaining about the park..why even come if your going to be a miserable sack of crap? Of course there are groups of annoying kids..you were one yourself, remember?
Jennifer HirschJune 10, 2012Parkside Cafe is the only place to get a full soda cup of free ice water; all others give tiny plastic cups
Lines are to long! Workers never bust a sweat! Never anything new unless they take something out!! But Love the Park!
Stacey HoffnerJuly 12, 2012i want to see how fun this place is since they took out my favorite ride. rest in peace, pitt fall.
Jessica MarnikMay 15, 2012If you ride the Turtle, ask the operator to press the "turtle button". It's pretty cute. :)
