My favorite amusement park. Located in rural Pennsylvania (Elysburg to be exact), this free admission park offers ride wristbands on most days of pay per ride tickets. The food is good and affordable. There are many classic rides. Stepping into Knoeb...
Knoebels Amusement Resort
It’s mostly a waterpark, but this amusement park is owned by the company who makes DelGrosso’s sauce. There are a small collection of rides geared towards families. The real reason to come is Spaghetti Wednesday during the summer. Every Wednesday you...
DelGrosso’s Amusement Park and Laguna Splash Water Park
One of the great family owned amusement parks in America. Small park with one of the best wooden roller coasters in the world. The supporting rides are fantastic as well!
Waldameer & Water World
What do you get when you mix a classic “storybook land” of the North East with a Six Flags? This place. It’s such an odd feeling.
Six Flags Great Escape
I am so enthusiastic about the classic Americana small park esthetic. Seabreeze is a perfect example of that style of park.
Seabreeze Amusement Park
Three piers on the beach all with different and unique ride offerings. It’s a really clean boardwalk and a super fun environment for a park.
Morey's Piers & Beachfront Water Parks
Historic Coney Island is home to Luna Park as well as Deno’s Wonder Wheel. Both combined make for a great day in NYC and offer a one of a kind Boardwalk experience on the beach with a city background. Also, some of the oddest characters out on the bo...
Luna Park in Coney Island
This place is odd. At its core it’s a go-kart focused amusement park with some smaller family style attractions. It then has a world class roller coaster called Arieforce One that has no business being to good or anchoring this park.
Fun Spot America Theme Parks — Atlanta
My favorite park at the Walt Disney World Resort is a vibe that isn’t matched at any other park in the world. While it has some world class attractions, it doesn’t really need them. This park is all about the world showcase. An area set around a lake...
Epcot
Holiday World is a family owned amusement park that offers free parking, soft drinks, tubes, and sunscreen! This park is notorious for its three VERY AGGRESSIVE wooden roller coasters, and one of the best water parks I’ve ever visited. Located in San...
Holiday World & Splashin' Safari
Ever been to a boardwalk park in the middle of nowhere Indiana? Located in Monticello, Indiana Beach has a full-blown amusement park in one of their lakes. It offers some classic woodies, games, and dark rides. One of my favorite park atmosphere in t...
Indiana Beach
This place may be my favorite hidden gem amusement park in America. It’s in small town, Wisconsin. Drive down the historic downtown Main Street, hang a right and for some reason right before the town cemetery there is an amusement park!
This place i...
