Why you should go…

Dorney Park has operated since 1884 and grew out of a trout hatchery and summer resort that Solomon Dorney started on his estate. Today the 200-acre park has eight roller coasters, including Steel Force, Talon, Hydra the Revenge, Iron Menace and the wooden Thunderhawk. Planet Snoopy has rides for younger kids. Wildwater Kingdom, the water park with slides, a wave pool and a lazy river, is included with park admission.
