With seven themed areas that include exciting rides, the wet and wild SoakZone featuring the splashingly exciting Captain Kidd's Adventure Galley, the original Story Book Forest, Jumpin' Jungle, Hootin' Holler, a trolley ride through Mister Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe, thrilling and classic rides in Olde Idlewild, live entertainment, and much more, it's easy to see why there is "So Much Fun All in One Place!"

Idlewild & SoakZone has been voted second best kids park in the world by Amusement Today three straight years, an honor we're very proud of.  But don't take our word for it, experience for yourself all the great family fun that is Idlewild & SoakZone.

Enjoy Mon Tsunami, the wildest wave pool east of the pacific and 15 twisting, turning, plunging, and churning waterslides. There are pools for adults (including the world's largest hot tub) and pools for kids (including Wet Willie's WaterWorks ). Surrounding it all is the Lazy River, a gently flowing stream where you can float on an inner-tube for hours.

If water is not your thing or you just want to take a break from the action, why not enjoy the food, gift shops, or arcade? All are conveniently located on the old fashioned boardwalk. Visit their web site today!
