The most important part of your experience with us at Kennywood is ensuring you have a great experience! That’s why we transitioned to smoother, safer cashless operations. Kennywood now accepts electronic payments such as debit cards, credit cards, and mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay only. All you have to do is swipe or tap to pay at any admissions office, food stand, gift shop, or park game – no digging for change to pay or waiting for cash back from our staff. Moving to a fully electronic payment system streamlines the payment process for both Guests and Team Members, making paying for everything from tickets to sweet treats safer, simpler, and more secure.
Only have cash? You’re still covered! Guests have free access to multiple easy-to-use Cash-to-Card kiosks conveniently located throughout Kennywood. You can transfer your cash free of charge onto a card, use it throughout the park, and if you have money left over, use it anywhere else that cards are accepted.

There are several ways to check your balance. First, you can swipe the card and see the balance at any Cash-to-Card Kiosk at Kennywood. You can also visit RCbalance.com or call the number listed on the back of each card.
There are no overdraw penalties or fees if you attempt to make a purchase that is larger than the amount of funds on the card. You will need to provide another form of payment to complete the transaction, or load additional money onto a new card.
First, please be sure to take the receipt issued during your transaction at the Cash-to-Card Kiosk. This will list the amount of cash you deposited. Then, head to the nearest Guest Services location.
