Advertised as “America’s Finest Traditional Amusement Park,” Kennywood is a historic landmark. This park features 31 different rides, including six roller coasters, three of which are wooden, and the brand new coaster, the Phantom’s Revenge. Kennywood also offers all of the classic rides, from the log ride and the plunge to a merry-go-round and the Whip. There is a cafeteria-style restaurant with eighteen different vendors to choose from. There are long lines and lots of concrete, but also fun theme sections and great roller coasters. A fun way to spend a day, Kennywood’s season runs from early May to early September. Kennywood is also open for limited hours during the month of October for their “Fright Night” experience.
