Close to Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore, Dutch Wonderland in Dutch Country Pennsylvania is a theme park paradise for children and adults alike. Opening in 1963 with only four children's rides, it has since grown to include over 30 rides, a water park, mini golf and daily entertainment. A recent addition is the Treehouse Terrace which features a dining deck that overlooks Turtle Whirl, the park's newest ride.
Behind the castle walls with red turrets are over 25 family fun rides to choose from, including Sky Ride, Pipeline Plunge, Astroliner, and the Double Splash Flume. There are eight rides 'Just for Kids' such as the Ferris Windmill, Wiggle Racers and Sky Fighter.
The Duke's Lagoon is a fun-filled water play area on different levels, with slides, sprays, jets, and a water wheel. There is a new relaxing tropical lounge area with palm trees for mums and dads. The Park has a daily entertainment program including a Sing Along with Bubba Bear, Storytime Corner with royal resident, the Princess of Dutch Wonderland and the re-creation of the story of the Gypsy Princess.
Food, snacks and beverages are available throughout the Park at the Castle Cafe, MillStream Eatery and Courtyard Treats, among others. In the Cookie Kitchen children can decorate their favorite cookies with a range of tasty toppings.
There is a camping ground and family picnic pavalion adjacent to the parking lot. The Castle Gift Shop stocks Dutch Wonderland merchandise including t-shirts, hats, costumes, candy and toys.
