DUTCH WONDERLAND if you don’t want to
Named “Best Family Park” in
2019 by Amusement Today
magazine, Dutch Wonderland
has been entertaining young
children for nearly 60 years.

Featuring more than 35 rides and
attractions, including Duke’s
Lagoon — a water play area with
pint-sized slides, splash areas —
Dutch Wonderland will keep the
kids busy without leaving you
feeling overwhelmed. Be sure to
pay a visit to Exploration Island
if you have any dinosaur lovers
in your family; the Prehistoric
Path is lined with 22 life-like
dinosaurs, and the Dino Dig gives
kids a chance to dig for fossils
and artifacts in a sand pit.

HERSHEYPARK What’s better than a theme
park filled not only with plenty
of rides, but also chocolate?
(Short answer: nothing.)
This summer marks the
opening of Hersheypark’s new
Chocolatetown, where adrenaline
junkies can ride the park’s tallest,
fastest and longer roller coaster,
Candymonium. There’s so much
to do at Hersheypark, including
an 11-acre water park, you might
need two days to explore all of the
amusement park attractions. Just
be sure to bring your sweet tooth.

KNOEBELS America’s largest free-
admission amusement park,
tied for first place for Favorite
Traditional Park by the National
Amusement Park Historical
Society, is packed with activities
geared toward the whole family.

Pay per ride or purchase a “Ride
All Day Pass” to enjoy Knoebels’
two old-fashioned wooden roller
coasters, bumper cars, giant
flume and more. To beat the
summer heat, be sure to check
out the park’s 900,000-gallon
Crystal Pool filled with
mountain stream water. And
make the ride there
and back in one day,
Knoebels offers over
800 campsites for tents
and campers.

SIX FLAGS
AMERICA Conveniently located

Maryland’s only floorless

rides. For younger kids

around the classic animated
television show that includes
a small-scale coaster, tower
drop and spinning tea cups.

Hurricane Harbor, Six Flags
America’s water park, is open

KINGS DOMINION
Kings Dominion is the only theme
park in Virginia that offers two
park experiences for the price
of one: the amusement park and
Soak City water park. Families
can have some fun with Charlie
Brown and friends at Planet
Snoopy, a Peanuts-themed area
featuring kid-sized coasters and
other exciting rides. Over at Soak
City, visit the newly redesigned
Coconut Shores play area, which
has a multi-level play structure,
eight fun slides, a mini wave pool
and other cool kid stuff. If all
that splashing makes you hungry,
try the new Beach Street dining
experience, with multiple food
trucks and live entertainment.
