About Midway State Park

Set on the shore of Chautauqua Lake, this New York state park grew out of a trolley park established in 1898. Its amusement area includes a vintage carousel, a tilt-a-whirl, go-karts, kiddie rides, mini golf, and classic midway games. A building from 1915 now houses a museum, gift shop, and concessions. Operating days and hours vary by season, so check the park's calendar before visiting.
