Magic, Musical Performances, and More

When you need a break from the wonderful rides at Pittsburgh’s best amusement park, grab a seat and enjoy one of our many entertainment shows! In celebration of our 120th Anniversary, live shows like Step Right Up and 88Keys: Dueling Through the Decades feature cirque-style variety acts and dueling pianos, a nod back to the acrobatic performance and swing band sounds seen and heard frequently at Kennywood in earlier generations. And, later this summer, young engineers and conductors can enjoy a live show in the all new Thomas Town™, starring Emily, Gordon, James, Percy and the Controller of the Railway, Sir Topham Hatt! Fizzling fireboxes, it’s going to be great fun!

Steel City Adventures!

Join Gordon, James, Emily, Percy & Sir Topham Hatt as they prepare for a very special adventure on the rails!
