Idlewild Park

I got the pleasure to go to Idlewild Park twice this summer. Even though it is mostly for kids, because Storybook Forest is also there. I had a great time watching the kids have fun. We got to see the old woman in the shoe’s house and many other storybook tales. It brings you back to your childhood. They have kiddie rides for the small kids. It is great to see the look of enjoyment and innocence on their faces. Of course, Idlewild also has their famous soak zone. I can’t tell you much about it because I did not ask disability questions either time that I went. I should have, but I didn’t. I was more concerned about the kids having a good time. My dream would be to ride the log jammer. So if it is accessible or ever becomes accessible. I would like to ride it. They also have the Ferris Wheel, the spider, and a roller coaster. They have several neat shops where you can buy sojourners. They also have a photo place where you can get your picture taken in old fashion 1800's clothes. They have an ice cream place that has the best ice cream, and it has the old-fashioned waffle cones. They have many places to eat. They also have a stage where music is played. The folks at Idlewild will sure keep you and the kids busy for the day. Price for admission is $23.95, seniors get in for $15.95 and children two and under get in free. There are discounts and season pass prices on the web page, go there and take a peek. http://www.idlewild.com/home0.cfm The only thing I don’t like about this amusement Park is they should have information about which rides people with disabilities can ride posted, or give some information about it when you have to pay and get your wristbands, Also if senior citizens get a discount, people with disabilities should as well. The new Hallowboo sounds fun. Why don’t you take the kids and go? Tickets are only $15.95 for this event. More information about this event can be found here http://www.idlewild.com/boo.cfm If you go I hope you have a Hallowboo time! more

I visited this park for the first time last summer. The first thing that I think of when someone asks about Idlewild Park is... AWESOME! My 2 1/2 year old had a blast. The park wasn't overly crowded, the lines weren't long, and the atmosphere was perfect. We tried to do everything that we could and had fun doing it. This will be a park that we will make a point of visiting at least once a year. more

Idlewild Park is the ideal park for families. For the young kids there is Mr. Rogers Neighborhood as well as plenty of other themed areas. You will not find any large roller coasters at this theme park, the largest coaster being the Wild Mouse. You can bring your own picnic lunch and dine among the beautiful scenery or Idlewild also has plenty of food vendors in this park as well. This park also has H2Ohhh zone that includes waterslides and a pool. more

Idlewild park is so much fun for children. Once they are a little older the rides aren't as exciting but when they are young it is perfect! There is a Storybook forest where children can walk through different stories, ride on Mr Rogers train, a great water park and great food. If you have small children it is very nice! more

Perfect for the little ones! With the exception of children 2 years and under, all guests must have a wristband to board a ride or to enter the attraction areas. Jumping Jungle, Storybook Forest, Hootin Holler, Soak Zone, Old Idlewild, Mr Rodger's Neighborhood and Racoon Lagoon are a few of the areas to visit. There are so many activities for kids. We took my son when he was 2 and he loved it! Great park for grandparents to take the kids. more
