Amusement parks??

Question

I would like to take my 3 grandkids to a park this summer. We have looked at kings island and cedar point. But the oldest has been to both of these places i would like to take them somewhere new. Any ideas or comments?? I have 2 boys that are 7 and a girl that is 13. Thank you.

Answer 1

Kennywood Park-outside Pittsburgh PA.  Very family friendly, entry fee friendly and all around great atmosphere.  Many rides, classic wooden coasters and beautiful, clean park.  Only one major steel coaster but that is the only downside.  Been to many theme and amusement parks but Kennywood is my favorite!

Answer 2

Ohio Public Library site has a list of Ohio Amusement Parks.

Coney Island looks promising.

See links below.

And have fun...

Answer 3

DEFINATELY wisconsin dells!! It's seriously for ALL ages which is great! But it just depends where you live, how far you want to travel etc.  But like 1 park to check out for sure would be Mt. Olympus.  It has an indoor/outdoor waterpark and an indoor/outdoor amusemnt park for all ages which is a plus.  I've been going since i was 5 and i love every minute of it!!  Well i hope these tips have helped!

Answer 4

If you live in NJ, then got o Six Flags Gread Adventure. ITs got more rides, shows, and attractions then any other theme park in the world, it is also home to the tallest andd fastest coaster, "King da KA," and steepest wooden, "El Torro"

Answer 5

ok, 1st of all, future is SOOOOO WRONG. Cedar point has so many things for dave devils its not even funny. all the way down to a little kiddy section. So even if the oldest one has been there before just go there again. Disney Wrold is fun but can be a little boring for the older kids.

Answer 6

Well it depends on how far you want to travel, but I would recommend the following:

Coney Island

Kennywood

Kings Dominion

Busch Gardens

Disneyland

DisneyWorld

Just to name a few.........

Answer 7

The thing is I don't know how far you are willing to drive. These are my favorites:

Six Flags Great America - Gurnee, IL

Dorney Park - Allentown, PA

Six Flags St. Louis - Eureka, MO

Six Flags Over Texas - Arlington, TX

Six Flags Over Georgia - Austell, GA

Answer 8

disney world or land

so much to do at these places and i could spend like a month there and never get bored

Celbration City is Cheaper But not so fun. It has a Lazer light show at night though!

I reccomed Silver Dollar City. It is more fun and It also is a learning experience! There is history ALL over the park! also they have a really cool cave to walk through!

i love dorney park in allentown! i don't know how far you would want to travel. the prices are good, it's like two parks in one a water park and regular park. they have great roller coasters and rides for people who aren't into them. nice wave pools lots of waterslides. they have a new roller coaster for 2008 which looks  cool check out the web site:) dorneypark.com

Answer 11

Busch Gardens is a really good park for all ages and they have lots to do. They have coasters, thrill rides, kiddie rides, shows, and a bunch of other stuff so you would all have fun. Kennywood is really good too. They also have stuff for everyone.

Answer 12

Gosh, I've been to Cedar Point MANY times and I'd still jump at the chance to go back (and I'm 35!)  :)  I'd still suggest there because it's big and awesome and who CARES if they've been there before - they haven't with YOU! :)

Answer 13

Kings Island is great! They have a new owner, and they added newer rides. Plus, unlike Cedar Point , they have rides for daredevils and people who only ride bumper cars. Definitly go there!!
