Soak Up the Happiness!

Included in the price of admission is SoakZone – which, itself, could be a full-day water adventure.  Perfect for all ages, this waterpark features a Wave Pool, Lazy River, over a dozen waterslides, and a giant tipping water bucket.  Plus, two dedicated water play areas designed especially for little ones.  It’s a great way to beat the summer heat!

Grins, Giggles & Whirls

With a Carousel, Flying Swings, and all the kid things, Idlewild has what it takes to make your child’s day the best day ever.  Raccoon Lagoon Kiddieland offers nine rides especially designed for small tykes and Jumpin’ Jungle is a giant playground for kids! Although there is a strong focus on entertaining the younger crowd, teens, and adults will never be left out.  The park bolsters a roster of sixteen major rides that pack thrills yet remain tame enough for most children.

Moments of Wonder

Sometimes, the quieter moments away from the rides and attractions are what families really find to be the most memorable: watching their little one meet Daniel Tiger for the first time or sharing their favorite nursery rhymes with each other as they stroll along a forest path with characters coming to life.  These are moments they truly ever forget.

Seasonal Surprises

It’s easy to make lasting memories during Idlewild & SoakZone’s many summertime special events.  But the fun doesn’t end there!  HALLOWBOO! is one of the best family-friendly Halloween-themed adventures in the region, including the ever-popular trick-or-treat trail through Story Book Forest, themed shows, and costume characters, all among the backdrop of autumn in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania.

You Belong in a Cabana

Make it a VIP visit with a private cabana rental.  You’ll have it made in your very own shade, and there’s no better way to enjoy the waterpark than with a refreshing drink or tasty snack while lounging poolside in one of our private, shaded cabanas. Choose from 4 different options for location and size.
