Old fashioned amusement park. Not a thrill ride park but great for families with young kids. Whole separate section for young kids with rides they will love! More

This park is beautiful and manageable, stroller-friendly and magical for the under-10 set. There is a new wave pool which can get quite crowded; go early and find a spot and keep it for the day. More

This is the perfect park, especially for younger kids. Big kids may be bored, but for anyone with kids under 12, this is a great park! Beautiful park-like setting. Nice for multiple generations. Grandparents can ride with little ones without whiplash. I used to have season tickets, but my baby's are too big now and would rather go to thrill... More

I have been there several times. My favorite things there is Storybook Forest (even though I'm now in my 30's, lol) and lots of great food. If you have children or you are a kid at heart you will have a great time here. More

If you have children ages 12 and under, your family will love this park. Plan to save money by bringing your own food. Coolers and picnicing are totally ok! Tables are provided in and outside of the park. Such a beautiful, shaded , family setting! More

We have been season pass holders for 8 years and will keep coming back dozens of times each summer. This is such a great place for families to come and have a great day. The new wave pool is amazing and we could spend all day in it. Idlewild has been voted best kids park in the world a few... More

We've been there two summers in a row now. It's wonderful and shady--a great place to walk around in the summer. You don't really have to contend with lines--it's a lot of fun. There are many different sections to explore. Many things for kids of different ages to do. A really pleasant vacation spot for our family. There are also... More
