Over 125 Years of Experience in FUN!
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, a Kiddieland with pint-sized thrills for the little ones, areas themed to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Thomas & Friends™, and more. Kennywood's rich history spans generations of good times and extends beyond the traditional summer season with popular Halloween and Holiday events.
Classic Rides & Modern Thrills
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 record-setting Steel Curtain flips riders upside down more than any other coaster in North America. Experience them all without the wait – add Speedy Pass to your visit.

No trip to Kennywood is complete without an order of our world-famous Potato Patch® fries smothered in cheese and topped with bacon!

And don't forget to grab hand-dipped candy apples and homemade fudge from the colorful Kandy Kaleidoscope for the ride home.

A Timeless Pittsburgh Tradition
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.
