JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST EVER NOSTALGIA NIGHT!

All kids young at heart (and 21+ years) are invited for an evening of childhood nostalgia at Idlewild! This event is exclusively 21+, so please leave the kiddies at home.

The first ever Nostalgia Night at Idlewild will be held on Friday, August 23. Gates and rides will open at 6pm, and once inside, guests can explore the park just like they used to - riding the Ferris Wheel and Rollo Coaster, playing games and enjoying classic treats! Idlewild hopes guests will recreate old family photos taken at the park, and encourages retro attire.
