NEW! Potato Smash Bumper Cars

Grab your best spud and get behind the wheel on one of the cheesiest rides around, themed to Kennywood's signature fresh-cut Potato Patch® fries! We're serving up a one-of-a-kind experience this spring with a complete reimagining of the bumper cars with 20 all-new vehicles. Even better, more families can enjoy the ride together with a lower height requirement (42" to ride and 48" to drive).

NEW! Jeeters' Pub

Jeeters’ Pub, a hometown bar themed to Kennywood’s popular pink mascot from the 1970s, will welcome guests this season. The pub, located near the world-famous Potato Patch®, will offer twelve draft beers on tap, including eight from Penn Brewery, charcuterie boards, wings, and other pub snacks. And be on the lookout for Jeeters, who will make a return as a costumed character later this summer!

NEW! Carousel Burger Co.

Carousel Burger Co. will offer a one-of-a-kind Kennywood dining experience in the park’s original Merry-Go-Round pavilion. The all-American menu will feature juicy burgers, chicken, fries, delectable milkshakes—including the new signature Carousel Shakes stacked high with sweet treats—and much more!

NEW! Celebrate Pittsburgh Event

Every Saturday and Sunday in July, we're celebrating everything that makes the Steel City a special place to live and play! We're proudly putting Pittsburgh on display, from arts and culture to sports and beer. Plus, the entire family can join in a high-energy dance party around the Lagoon with a live DJ every night.

🌟 A Kennywood first! We're taking the fun to the skies with an exciting drone show high above the Lagoon on Saturday, July 20.

IMPROVED! Ride Enhancements

The park-wide enhancement projects continue in 2024 with upgrades to two of Kennywood's signature rides! The last-of-its-kind Turle will welcome guests back after a total restoration project, and the Aero 360 will once again flip riders head-over-heels.

IMPROVED! Passholder Perks

We're leveling up our Season Pass program! In addition to everyday perks, Passholders will enjoy added benefits like exclusive ride times, bonus discounts, and special offers. Join the club and see why being a Passholder is the best way to experience everything Kennywood has to offer.
