Reply to comment by No-Setting9690 in Three Pennsylvania amusement parks named among best in the U.S. (Kennywood, Knoebels, and Hersheypark) by zorionek0

How old are your kids? If you're in the Pittsburgh area, Idewild is cheaper, less hectic, and has more stuff geared towards smaller children.

I'm southeast outside of Reading. Kids are 3 and 14.

Ah, yeah. 14yo would definitely prefer Kennywood. My 6 yo loves Idewilde, but it only has a couple larger coasters. Good waterpark, though.

Knoebels May-June would be your best bet. It's only about an hour, hour and a half from Reading. Variety enough for both ages. Inexpensive. Best food of the bunch too.
