It's a fun little park in the middle of Central Pa - just outside of Altoona. The water park is…read morerefreshing, and pretty easy to navigate. If you order tickets online, you will save about $5 per ticket. Just be sure to stop at the Guest Services window to get your wrist band. Lockers are all day and come in 3 sizes. The large was big enough to get everything we wanted to get in and more. The park, like a lot of places, is cashless. So remember to go in prepared for that.

This park was chill as it reminded me of like a city park that has rides, mini golf, and go karts as well as two wooden coasters! My visit happened to be on opening day of the 2022 season and I must say it was a good time as the park was kinda dead making for me to get multiple rides on Leap The Dips which was totally what's good! This park is really chill as it's like wide open with lots of picnic tables and places to hangout which I thought was kinda cool. While this might not be the biggest park around it still serves it's purpose for it's community making for an amazing time no matter how old or young you are. Their associates here were all very nice and friendly as I talked to alot of them and it was definitely enjoyable seeing how they care about the park. Overall this was a good time and an awesome time riding this old school woodie I'm not sure when I'll get back here again but I can definitely say that it was worth the trip to ride this legendary wooden roller coaster!

My husband and I hadn't been here in a few years, and since we (and my cousin and her husband) were…read moregoing to a Curve game, we decided to check this place out. Wow! What a downgrade! Lakemont Park used to have a seemingly random assemblage of portable rides which were still fun to ride. The whole atmosphere was that of a carnival-meets-dive-bar (the good kind of dive bar). But now the rides are no more, the coasters are still standing but not operating, and all that remains basically are batting cages and mini golf. Well as long as we were there, we figured we'd try the batting cages (I hit quite a few of line drives). But in short, there's no there anymore. And it was strange to see the two coasters standing there silent. Leap-the-Dips is the oldest coaster in North America and the only side-friction coaster. It's my second-favorite after Kennywood's Phantoms Revenge and half the fun of riding it was wondering whether this old, over-grown pile of Tinkertoys would collapse as you were riding it. By the way, it is a National Historic Landmark and the operator of Lakemont must keep it standing and in operable condition. But the money's not there. As for the Skyliner it's a fun vintage wooden coaster. It gave you a great view of the adjacent ballpark, and vice versa. The train had an "Altoona Curve" sign on its side, which was plainly visible from the ballpark.

Kennywood is hands down my all-time favorite amusement park! I love coming here and riding all the…read moreclassic attractions that have made this park such a special place for generations. If you're planning to visit more than once during the season, I highly recommend getting the Platinum Season Pass. Not only is it a great value for Kennywood, but it also includes admission to Sandcastle Waterpark, making it an even better deal for families and anyone who loves amusement and water parks. No trip to Kennywood is complete without stopping at Potato Patch for their famous fries--they're absolutely delicious! I also like grabbing the pulled pork tacos from Rogue BBQ, and of course, I always save room for dessert. My favorite treat is a vanilla ice cream cone from the Golden Nugget, dipped in chocolate and topped with peanuts and a cherry. So good! What I love most about Kennywood is its classic charm. I've visited newer amusement parks, but in my opinion, none of them have rides quite as memorable or enjoyable as the ones at Kennywood. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and seem to genuinely enjoy working there, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend Kennywood to anyone visiting the Pittsburgh area or looking for a fun day with family and friends. It's a true Pittsburgh treasure and a place I look forward to visiting again and again!

We love Daniel Tiger and were so excited with the shows, the trolley ride and the "neighborhood", my girls were in DT heaven. We got to meet 4 of the characters which was great. The lines for all rides were moving fast, 5-10 minutes at the most. I love that all the rides are geared for smaller kids. We weren't interested in any of the water rides, so I have no comments on that part of the park. But everything else was very enjoyable and nice! Staff was amazing, very caring and polite.

Practically every hill had me floating or slamming back down, and after a while, it stopped feeling fun and started to feel a little uncomfortable. I know some coaster fans live for that kind of extreme airtime, and if that's your thing, you'll probably love this ride. It's smooth, fast, and has a legendary drop, but for me, the constant weightlessness was too much. That said, I'd still recommend it to anyone who enjoys high-adrenaline rides and can handle intense airtime. It's clearly a favorite for a reason--it just didn't suit my personal taste and I'd prefer the woodies over this.
