1 / 2Dutch Wonderland® Family Amusement Park
📍 Lancaster, PA
Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA delivers 30+ family rides, Duke's Lagoon water play area, puppet and dive shows, and character meet-and-greets with Duke the Dragon and Princess Brooke.
Wow did the kids love this place. I think by now they should sell kosher food. But it was well worth the drive.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children roughly ages 2–10. Rides and attractions are deliberately scaled for young kids, so older tweens and teens may find the thrill level mild. Opening day and early-season visits may have some rides remains coming online — check the park's current ride status before traveling.

“Great for the kids!!”

“Huge disappointment on my visit on your "opening day" with my 4 year old grandson. After spending the night at your mediocre Dutch Wonderland Inn (which is really nothing more than an average motel with fresh coat of paint) as part of a very expensive package, we arrived to find at least five rides CLOSED for the day, and the ones that were open operated by trainees, several of whom were paying little attention to guest safety and all of whom were poorly dressed with scarce identification as Dutch Wonderland employees. My 24 hour visit cost me over $400 and I was shocked at how poorly prepared your facilities were. I've been a loyal DW customer for two generations, having visited with my children many times and this third time with my grandson. I doubt I'll return if this type of overpriced disappointment is what I should expect.”

“It’s a cute little park. For the pricing wish there were more rides .”
