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.
