Recently our family had the pleasure of visiting Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, PA.
Dorney Park is less than 2 hours from NYC and a perfect weekend or day trip!
When we arrived at Dorney Park, our initial question was, "Where to first?" Having three children aged 21, 13, and 5 respectively, you get very different answers! Usually, one child is satisfied while the other two anxiously await their turn. Not so at Dorney Park! The Antique Carousel, perfect for all ages, is situated right in front of you as you enter the Park. After a spin on the carousel, we were entertained with Peanuts Party in the Plaza, a hand clapping dance review with photo opportunities galore!
Of course, the youngest won the toss up and we headed to the recently renovated Planet Snoopy! On most of the rides, I could accompany my daughter, making her smile from ear to ear. She even chose her brothers to ride with her and they really enjoyed it! My older children were happy to see their old favorites were still there and new rides were added, including Snoopy's Rocket Express,Sally's Swing Set, Linus Launcher, and Peanuts 500, to name a few. My daughter absolutely loved Planet Snoopy!
From there, we moved on to the many thrill rides! My husband and sons were quick to head for the roller coasters like Wild Mouse, Talon, Hydra,Possessed, Demon Drop and Steel Force. They saved the best coaster for last, the new coaster Stinger! It got a thumbs way up from everyone!
After satisfying our coaster appetite, we headed to Coasters Drive-In for some delicious burgers and fries and outrageously thick milk-shakes! The whole family had a chance to kick back and relax in this 50's style Drive in while enjoying a great meal together.
After a quick ride on one of our family favorites, The Tilt-A-Whirl, we enjoyed The Heart of Rock and Roll, a Live show at Coasters Bandstand. As the sun went down and the lights came on, the Park took on a magical glow and we had to take another ride on Talon and Hang Time in the dark!
Our wonderful day at Dorney Park ended the way it began, riding the Antique Carousel as a family. It was truly one of our most memorable days of the summer!
