Hey there, Pittsburgh parents! Are you ready to kick-start your summer adventures? Well, hold onto your hats because Kennywood Park is back and better than ever for the 2024 season!
As the gates swing open for opening weekend, it's time to dust off those flip-flops, grab the sunscreen, and get ready for a wild ride of family fun. From thrilling roller coasters to classic carnival games, Kennywood has something for everyone in the family.
But before you dive headfirst into the excitement, here are a few need-to-know details for the 2024 season:
1. New Attractions: This year, Kennywood is rolling out some exciting new attractions that will have your little ones jumping for joy. The NEW Potato Smash bumper cars are sure to be an experience to make memories that last a lifetime.
2. Ride Enhancements: The park-wide enhancement projects continue in 2024 with upgrades to two of Kennywood's signature rides! The last-of-its-kind Turle will welcome guests back after a total restoration project, and the Aero 360 will once again flip riders head-over-heels. From increased sanitation to social distancing guidelines, they've got you covered.
3. Plan Ahead: With so much to see and do, it's essential to plan ahead to make the most of your day at Kennywood. Consider purchasing tickets online in advance to skip the lines and maximize your time in the park. Want to really be in the know? Here's 21 Insider Tips for Taking Your Kids to Kennywood Park.
4. Ride Closures: Much to our dismay, the family favorite coaster - the Steel Curtain will be closed for the duration of 2024. Noted in the recent press release from Kennywood, "To increase ride reliability and longevity, the Steel Curtain will undergo an extensive modification project this year." We suggest to always check Kennywood's website before arrival to note any temporary ride closures. Avoid disappointment from the kiddos by preparing them with this information before arrival.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab the family and get ready for a weekend full of laughter, thrills, and unforgettable moments at Kennywood Park. Opening weekend is just the beginning of an epic summer adventure!
See you at the park, Pittsburgh parents!
