Only a National Historic Landmark amusement park can offer an unmatched mix of more than 40 modern attractions and one-of-a-kind classic rides, including eight roller coasters, two kids zones with pint-sized thrills for the little ones, an area themed to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and more! Kennywood's rich history spans generations of good times and extends beyond the traditional summer season with popular Halloween and Holiday events.
Kennywood offers a unique roster of rare and historic attractions, plus pulse-pounding thrill rides. Just look at our coaster lineup! The wooden Jack Rabbit has entertained guests with its tummy-tickling double-dip drop for more than a century, and the USA Today 10Best Phantom's Revenge thrills riders with its 232 foot drop. Experience them all without the wait – add Speedy Pass to your visit.
Every year Kennywood hosts some of the best and most memorable events. From the new Eggcellent Celebration to Bites and Pints, a month-long food and drink festival offering chef-inspired tastings of international cuisine, craft beer, and specialty cocktails. Plus, a special summer celebration and the famous Fall Fantasy parades featuring more than 180 local marching bands.
Kennywood is historic! Founded as a recreational playground far away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Pittsburgh, the idyllic site overlooking the Monongahela River has transformed over the past 12 decades into one of the world’s greatest amusement parks.
No trip to Kennywood is complete without an order of our world-famous Potato Patch® fries smothered in cheese and topped with bacon! Fuel your day of fun with delicious dining options, from fresh salads at the historic Parkside Café to hot-and-ready flatbread pizza at Pizza Warehouse. And don't forget to grab hand-dipped candy apples and homemade fudge from the colorful Kandy Kaleidoscope for the ride home.
