There’s An Epic Adventure Park Hiding In Pennsylvania And You Need To Visit

What are some family-friendly parks in Pennsylvania?

Elmwood Park Zoo might be the ultimate family-friendly destination in Pennsylvania. After you’ve experienced that adrenaline rush at Treetop Adventures, while away the hours visiting the local residents of the zoo and indulging in goodies. If you’re in the mood for a leisurely day at a traditional park, pile the whole family in the car, and make your way to Cedar Beach Park in Allentown. The kiddos will have a blast at the playground and meeting the resident ducks as you explore via the meandering walking path. (Bikes are also allowed along the path.) The year-round park is also home to a gorgeous arboretum, so you’ll have plenty to keep you busy if you want to visit for the entire day. Bring a meal along, too, so you can have a picnic at one of the picnic tables.

For an old-school amusement park adventure that offers free admission (that means you don’t have to pay for an all-day pass if you’re not going to ride!), plan a day or more at Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg. It even has a campground, so you can make a full-blown getaway out of your visit. Spend your days cooling off in the waterpark then climb aboard all of your favorite rides. Don’t forget to indulge in all of summer’s favorite goodies – from ice cream to funnel cakes – before heading back to camp to fall asleep under the stars.
