For most of us, it wouldn’t be summer without visiting
Kennywood Park. Carry on the tradition by making a day
of it with your family at this beautiful amusement park that
dates back to 1898. Ride the classic wooden coasters like the
Thunderbolt, the Racer, or Jack Rabbit, or bring the antacid
and try Phantom’s Revenge or the Black Widow. Want to leave
that part to the kids? Then check out the many magnificent
gardens sprinkled throughout the park, or sample the bacon
and cheddar fries at the Potato Patch, recently named as one of
the 10 Best French Fries in the United States by Food Network
Magazine. Visit the website for more information.
