Phantom'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.

It'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, 2015
Coaster 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.

Super 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!

It 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.

Did you know? Kennywood is one of the oldest amusement parks in the country. It opened in 1899 as a “trolley park,” a suburban amusement park built by trolley companies and linked to cities by trolley Read more

Potato Patch Fries are great. Kennywood's employees not so much. Not all of them, but a good majority of them are usually rude. Not to mention there's always things closed. (Pedro's, Skyrocket) Ugh.

Enjoy an old-fashioned amusement park feel at Kennywood® in West Mifflin, Pa., where you can ride one of the highest rated roller coasters in the country, the Thunderbolt.

I love that you can bring your own food inside to eat at your leisure. The entrance fee for one day is completely reasonable.

Not 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, 2014
Great 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, 2014
Great rides and great fries at the potato patch great everything especially the thunderbolt fast line and fast ride
James DesjardinsJanuary 19, 2012
Racer 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

Amusement park fun for all ages, including a new Thomas the Train kiddie land area and an antique carousel.
Alexa (@ladylexy) AndrzejewskiJuly 2, 2012
More 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, 2014
First time there - went on a Friday and was perfect! Longest wait was maybe 30 minutes. Will definitely be back next year!!

While you’re here, make sure to spend a day at Kennywood, Roller Coaster Park and home of “Phantoms Revenge,” just off Kennywood Blvd.

Great little park in Pittsburgh, PA. Very nice kiddie land for the little ones.

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!
Arlene MurphyJanuary 7, 2014
Old style amusement park where you can have picnics, enjoy rides, and have great entertainment.
Renia OwensJuly 7, 2011
Buy 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.
George MaierAugust 11, 2016
Rollercoasters, 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, 2012
Kennywood is super cool! Try Phantom's revenge, Sky Rocket, eat at The potato patch, and take soft ice cream with jimmies.

Kennywood 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
Jacob FickesJuly 26, 2015
Always an awesome park. I've been going ever since I was little.

Such a great theme park for young and the young at heart
ConnorAugust 3, 2014
Showing up on days with bad weather usually means shorter waits, but the park may also close early.

Holiday 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.

The Potato Patch! The nice balance of old and new rides!

Check out the historical landmarks! They're all over the park.

Scavenger 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, 2012
Go for the evening pass. It is cheaper and it is just enough time to ride all the coasters!
Michelle GraceJune 10, 2012
For an old amusement park, this is certainly one of my favorites! Such fun!
Gordon RamseyAugust 12, 2010
Ride the Pit Fall, Phantom's Revenge, Exterminator, Thunderbolt, and Jack Rabbit. They are a lot better at night to.
LoriJune 9, 2013
To 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?

Best fries EVER!!!
Julie McDonoughMay 24, 2013
Great park, you'll want to go back again and again.
Jennifer HirschJune 10, 2012
Parkside Cafe is the only place to get a full soda cup of free ice water; all others give tiny plastic cups
Amy RobbAugust 3, 2013
