Make sure to do alot of research before booking your tickets. I traveled with 5 kids (2 teens 3 under 8). If you are looking for you and your family to make the most of your day like we were, consider purchasing the fast pass. The lines for both water and dry rides must be 45 minutes or greater, so without the fast pass most people just hung out at the wave pool to avoid long lines. The fast pass has both water and dry rides or only water or dry. We also purchased the “all day meal plan” this plan allows you to eat every 90 minutes approx $35. However, we could not make the most of this plan since the line to order food had to be 1-2 hours long. We were only able to use this pass once (waste of money), especially since the park has early closing hours. My takeaways from this trip: 1. Make sure to buy fast pass for those who will be getting on rides to make the most of your trip 2. You’re better off buying 1 meal plan on the website (long food lines and park closes early to get the most out of the all day meal plan) 3. Make sure to buy the souvenir cups for unlimited soda, juice or water refills. 4. Buy a waterproof phone case on Amazon (Dorney park charges $30-$40) 5. They have the Carnival event happening and you’re able to enjoy food from around the world (nothing spectacular about the “cultural” food) 6. They stop serving beer at 6pm make sure to get your drinks in early 7. Plant snoopy for smaller children does not accept fast pass so don’t waste your money if you have small children

there are two types of people in the eyes of amusement parks: type 1, those who love them and type 2, those who cannot stand them. I am one of the latter. Please determine which type you are before you enter and prepare accordingly. Type 1 people, i think you will have a blast. for someone who doesn’t like amusement parks, Dorney is a pleasant surprise. It is clean and seems safety checked and double checked. If you have children and live nearby, get a season pass. so you could spend 2 hours when it is not crowded and come back again. 8 hours in a park for Type 2 will be too much. Most of us come just because we are chaperoning the children. keep them within sight. there are a lot of teenagers and high school boys roaming around. In general, i stepped in for the first time and did not die. I am even contemplating of coming back so i could watch the kids. Food price is high and not healthy, for season pass holders, pack a little snack and some water, come back more often. if you are only coming once, eat the unhealthy food and have a ball.

I bought my season pass last year as soon as I found out that kids up to five were free. We did go a few times in the summer but so many people! Now it's is October they have the Halloween theme and it is so much fun. Keep in mind the kid rides are closed but my five years old loves it. The fog and so many characters dressed up walking round trying to scare you, but when they saw my daughter since her age they would all talk and dance And sing with her . Really one night I will never forget with her!

we went on a school trip to dorney park for a band festival and it was awesome. the coasters were amazing especially iron menace, the new one. definitely a good theme park to go to

Not a bad park. To get the best out of it, you'll need two days I think. The parking fee is ridiculous, it should be included in the admission fee. If your into thrill rides, this is for you. Nice smaller rides too though. Good park.

Smaller than six flags but definitely has a certain charm to it that makes me love it. Such a fun park and they have the peanuts characters! THEY SHOULD ALSO BRING SNOOPY OUT MORE JUST SAYING

I always love visiting Dorney Park! From water rides, to flag rides, roller coasters, and kid rides, there’s definitely something for everyone at this park. The lines for regular rides (including roller coasters) were very short. You could pretty much walk up to each ride and get right on. The lines for the Waterpark were much longer. The park was very clean and safe. There were security officers walking around the whole park. I was especially impressed by the ride operators. They were all very pleasant and cheerful. Their energy marched that of some Disney cast members. Highly recommend visiting Dorney Park if you ever find yourself in the Allentown area! Make sure you ride Possessed while you’re there!

Dorney Park’s Haunt event is amazing!! The rides barely have lines, the staff is awesome , and there’s just so much to see and do! I took my 5 yr old, and two 9 year olds, with more than enough to do Halloween wise and so on. Definitely highly recommend this amusement park. The only thing I disliked, was the price of the food, which is always expensive in these kinds of parks, as well as the insane amount of traffic exiting the parking lot once we were leaving. All in all, wound definitely go back in a heartbeat!!

We enjoyed but lines were too long, which is also typical during summer season. Prices were better online, but we paid parking and weren’t allowed to park in the regular parking as all lots were full. We did not get a refund either.

I've been a season pass holder for many years now, and have witnessed several different changes in the park. Last year, I didn't make it out due to the pandemic, and this year, I was finally able to make it out for Haunt. The normal season operating hours of closing at 7pm, have robbed me of my normal park visiting time. I work far away, and sometimes we would go to the park just after 7pm and enjoy a few rides. With the new hours I couldn't even make it to the park until Haunt. And Haunt was a disappointment compared to years past. The Bayou attraction was the only decent area, followed by Necropolis, but the rest were understaffed and frankly boring. I'm pretty sure we're not going to buy passes again for next year, unless they have a super-special discount. If the park isn't open when I can attend, that sort of defeats the purpose of the season pass....

It's the best of both worlds, part amusement park with Riley coaster 🎢 rides and half water park. Great food options if you willing to walk about. I recommend simply buying the $18 cup with unlimited refills you can thank me later. Is it me or does a lot of staff look alike?

It would be nice if the was signage indicating the direction toward the exit. none whatsoever. maybe something to consider incorporating Dorney. It was surpassingly empty, the lines weren't long at all. especially for a Saturday. I was very grateful for this. bring your own water, don't waste money where you don't have to. they don't care if you bring your own snacks either. the bag check process isn't that rigorous.

Crowded but very enjoyable. A lot of different rides. Get to the park early and enjoy both parks. The price is really good right now. I can’t wait for the new thrill ride to open up. I would definitely recommend getting a locker to place your stuff. I like how they have cubbies before each ride. The waits weren’t that bad on a Saturday and the amount of rides we went on within that time were really amazing. Definitely end a busy day with the Ferris wheel with great views of the park

It is a fantastic experience. The children will have a lot of fun, they have a wide variety of games, both the water park and the amusement park, highly recommended

Park was great. There are all kinds of rides for young kids to teens to adults. Good food/snack options. No wait at the entry, though, it was crowded as some reviews have mentioned for Saturdays. We will go again. One thing I didn't like was that a lot of people block seats with towels or their stuff, and kind of rude about it.

Came here with 4 kids, ages 12, 9, 5, and 2. There is alot to do here for everyone. We came during the Haunt nights. The pumpkin fest was a bit of a let down. Waited in line for an hour for face painting. They set the pumpkin fest up in the water park area. There wasn't very much to do there. But in the other sections of the park, there was Snoopy's Planet which had so much to do for little kids. Lines were about a 15 minute wait on average. Not horrible. The rest of the park was nice as well. My 9 year old went on my of the coasters. She lived all of them. The wild mouse had the longest wait time of 45 minutes (which was too much for us), so we bought fast passes. We were able to use the fast passes on the Wild mouse 3 times but then went to the carnival section and the guy refused to let us on without wrist bands. I found one shop that had one wrist band. And when I found a second wrist band they wouldn't give it to me without my child present because they have to put them on in the store in front of the employees. I explained she wouldn't come to the store because of the clowns lurking outside and he still refused. He told me to go somewhere without clowns and get a wrist band then, which if you've been here meant going back towards the entrance and we had gone in that direction for the mine shaft ride. Anyways, it's not a horrible experience, but you definitely want to buy the fast passes at the beginning of the day.

Dorney Park is a great place to take your family and friends. It has filled with all types of rides. Kids section is separate and my 5 year old kid enjoyed each ride. The park is well-maintained and the carnival festival makes it more attractive (if you stay little late in night). It also haves plenty of food options. The staff was friendly and helpful, making sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our day. We especially enjoyed the river ride, wave pool etc., which offered a refreshing break from the heat. Overall, Dorney Park is a fantastic destination for families with kids of all ages, and we will sure visit again in future. It cost more if you are going in weekend. Also, locker and parking charges are bit higher so be prepare for that.

We came to this area of Pennsylvania to visit Dorney Park and Hershey park. Dorney Park was very nice. That evening it was extremely busy. They have their Halloween Haunt which was very well done. It's a really nice looking park that has a decent array of rides. I came for the roller coasters and enjoyed myself very much.

Haven't Ben to dorney in years. Was very impressed the park was clean. We went during the Haunt and all the actors were awesome. Had a blast. Definitely recommend a visit to the park.

I love visiting the park, but only when I'm not too busy. I can't wait for next summer! I hope to meet Franklin! And they really should give a meet list for the Peanuts Gazebo in the app and website! That’s what I wish.

Wow, the museum was wonderful. My family had a wonderful time. You do not have to be a car enthusiast to enjoy this museum. It is a wonderful look back in time. My daughter loved it as well. There are plenty of activities to engage children.

America On Wheels Museum is a great museum in Allentown that displays classic cars, trucks and motorcycles from the past through to present times. It’s a decent size with wonderful exhibits. They are usually not extremely crowded. The staff is friendly and loves to share their knowledge. It usually takes around an hour or so to go through it all. I’ll definitely be coming back. You can save money on the entrance fee by using Groupon!

Incredible experience for a low price. This museum needs a few hours at the least to take in all the wonders! Seriously...I'm a "used to didn't care about cars" but wow wow. I'm just in awe at the evolution of wheels and transportation after being thru this place. It's absolutely incredible. The people there have great care for this place and each piece represented! It's truly incredible to see! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Great exhibits the staff was amazing and the cars were in amazing shape and displays. The scavenger hunt in the back exhibit was awesome for adults and children.

Wow, wow, wow!! This place blew me away! First visit for myself, my husband had brought our kids here one day when I was working. The cars, the staff, the facility were top notch! The gentlemen there were so knowledgeable with fun facts; you can really tell they enjoy being there and sharing with the public. The cars tell a story, too! Just a really fun, family-friendly place that is just wonderful. I can't wait to go back!

Definitely worth the visit. The exhibit is impressive. I forget what days during the week it is but you can take a guided tour across the street to a complete working auto restoration shop. The guide is very informative and makes experience fun and interesting. Everyone at the museum and across the street involved are pleasant,knowledgeable, and open to answer questions you may have regarding the exhibit and history of the automobile.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fun for the whole family, definitely recommended.

Great place to visit if you're in the Allentown area. It ran me 15 dollars for two adults with my AAA membership. Kids get in free. Parking was free. Some interactive exhibits. Lots of things to read and look at. Bathrooms were clean. Gift shop was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Make it a point to visit this nice museum if you are in the area.

Please go and enjoy this free historical activity in Allentown. They really put together nice well informative displays. The volunteers were very nice and filled with knowledge. Super clean and well lit. Check out the pictures

This museum was so impressive. Staffed by knowledgeable and friendly docents who have hands-on experience with the wheels on display, I went expecting a few cars on display (which, to be honest, I would have been fine visiting) and came away seeing a fun, lively, well-designed, interesting, and truly thoughtful historic display of the various wheels that travel our highways, the fuels that have and will power them, the processes to get them ready, and the pure joy and celebration of going fast on your choice of wheels down an open road. If you are in the area (or if you want to see some lovingly restored vehicles and support a great museum and can make a road trip) stop by for a few hours. This is an awesome place.

What a gem this place is! Clean, well kept, organized and knowledgeable personnel is at the top of the list. From the very first electric car, to hydrogen powered vehicles this place has it covered. You and the kids would love it.

So I love museums. It peaceful, and calming. I went on a day they were prepping for an event. More than half the exhibits I wanted to see were closed. There was an annoying “check. Check. Check. Mic check “ being repeated a thousand times.. then as I was oerusing the exhibits I could go in, this guy followed me and stared at me the whole time… not cool and I don’t think I want to return… not a pleasant visit.

We went for the new exhibits on MARCH 20th. Oddly, the security dudes seemed to follow us for the better part of our visit! Not a good feeling. Respectfully, Negro families do visit art museums. Anyway, we donated at the door and shopped in the gift shop. The ladies in the gift shop were attentive and nice. #blackartmatters.

Loved the Allentown Art Museum today as I have for over 30 years. It's always clean, well curated and organized, and showcases a really broad selection of art through the ages. The special exhibits are always worth it. I visited the museum many times with my kids when they were young. The museum staff do a great job including families in the joy of appreciating and creating art. Right now it's free, but I donated. So many people work hard to sustain an ever growing and community centered art museum. We are very lucky to have it. I enjoyed the Arts Park across the street from the museum, next to The Baum Art School. There, I met up with a powerful DaVinci horse!

Hidden gem in Allentown. Very nice museum you can spend an hour or two. FREE admission. Very cool 60s clothing exhibition going on now. Not busy on a Sunday and open until 5p.

This hidden gem of a museum offers a variety of stunning visual and multimedia works from regional, American, and global artists. Highlights of their permanent collection include multiple pieces from Tiffany Studios and a library designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Free admission and parking make this a convenient visit.

Small art museum at the center of Allentown. Interesting exhibits. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and eager to share info! Good for family with kids. Ask for kids activity kits. Good pit stop for a few hours. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Allentown has a quiet little art section. At least it was quiet when we went on Sunday. Nice museum. Everyone was super nice. Free to get in on Sundays. We saw a Rembrandt which was cool. Free parking. They had a small eating area that served small items but COVID brought that to an end. Worth a stop and see.

I love the new layout on the main floor, which draws patrons to flow through the exhibits, and the Rembrandt is featured front and center in its gallery. I'm so glad to see new pieces interspersed with the permanent favorites, and everything is beautifully curated. This is a gem of a museum in our Queen City. I ended my visit in the gift shop, which has lots of great unique items. I bought a Frank Lloyd Wright vase. I renewed my membership despite free admission for all. It's my privilege to support the museum. If you haven't visited in a while, do pay a visit. It's very kid friendly with a kids' art space upstairs (I saw lots of happy kids today)

We had a very enjoyable afternoon at this art museum. There's a wide variety of art available to view, lots of staff around to ask questions, and on the weekend they have a room set up with kid activities. When we were there, they were making sunflowers and asking kids to leave one behind to create a community mural. There was also a PA impressionist gallery on display, which was neat to see. I really have nothing negative to say, especially since admission is free 😍

Go here go here go here! This is one of my all time favorites! They have Renaissance art, they have art deco, they have A Wei Wei, Keith Haring, incredible featured artists. Currently they have an exhibit with clothing from the 60s that is just wonderful! They also have a great kids area with activities.

First time at the museum, very nice experience, people very nice. Definitely going back.

We really enjoyed our recent visit to the museum. It’s not huge but has an interesting variety of works and a very impressive children’s center. As admission is FREE, I would highly recommend visiting with the kids, it’s a great resource! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly too.

Nice museum love the art gallery very philosophic

Nice collection of diverse Art. Free Admission! We’ll stocked gift shop with seating and complimentary coffee. Clean nice restrooms.

I went here for my birthday last year. The Allentown Art Museum is a beautiful place inside and outside. Love the gift shop, I bought my beaded "All you need is love" purse from here. Super cute and unique!

This is an incredible museum… An unexpected surprise… We dropped in for the day… And we really enjoyed the collection and exhibits on display… Museum has a variety of art… Baroque, American, modern… Asian art… Photographic exhibit… Open space… Very competitive art store… Attentive, customer service… Just a gem and A big surprise! We would come here again and again… Looking forward to seeing an exhibit in May (fashion)… Worth a trip from Brooklyn ….for sure!!!

Entertaining small bar selling bottles of their great rum and mixing creative cocktails. Definitely worth stopping by after having a few beers at one of the other businesses nearby.

A wonderful place to buy drinks and bottles of your favorite alcoholic beverages. Staff is friendly . A great distillery !

Always a great experience and Ryan makes a hell of a good cocktail!

Spectacular locally made spirits. Head on here on the weekend for cocktail specials.

Excellent spot for creative drinks in Allentown

They have good spirits

Very good place nice people
