I grew up in the area, my aunt once managed kiddie land and I could not wait to take my two year old there. All of my expectations were met plus some. Having moved to the DC area, I had not been to the park in years. I love all of the new rides and attractions so did my daughter... more

Great park for young children / pre teens.... Water park a little overcrowded on hot summer days. Hard to keep track of little ones on the Pirate Ship. Need to spend 2 days to fully enjoy this park. Going back in the fall for their Halloween "Hallowboo" more

Our daughter is 4 and we have visited Idlewild at least 2 x's a year for the past 4 years! She loves going, and we love seeing the excitement in her eyes as she visits all of her favorite storybook characters in Storybook Forest! the park is very child friendly, with a very laid back atmosphere. Even the youngest infants... more

Amazing place for pre-schoolers, toddlers and early school age kids. You actually need to go 2 days to do everything. We had one full day there and probably only did about half of the great attractions. more

We have been to Idlewild about five or six times in the last eight years. It is the best park for kids six and under. The Kiddie rides are so unique and well kept. They even have bumper cars that a small child can drive on their own. They also have a decent selection of rides for bigger kids and... more

Our (almost) 4 year old had a wonderful time at Idlewild. We arrived around 10:00 AM, and from the start, the park is user friendly. Wristbands are sold at the entry to the parking lot, so there aren't ticket booths or gates to get into the actual park. We started with the Storybook forest. It's a nice primer... eases you... more

Even though I grew up only 2 hours away from Idlewild Park, I only went there for the first time recently. My husband, nine-year-old son and I went in July 2006 and had a blast-it was even better then I could imagine. In fact, we took a trip to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Disney's Magic Kingdom and found... more

The setting of this park, amidst small rolling mountains and dense forest, is just beautiful. The parking and entrance was so laidback that we weren't even sure where to enter the park. It's more like a nature park than an amusement park in some areas with thick canopies of trees and lots of picnic pavilions. But once inside, the charm... more

Idlewild deserves high marks for providing a great day or two of real fun and relaxation for kids and adults. I grew-up ten miles down the road from Idlewild--went there yearly up unitl I was about 16-years-old. Now I am 40 and have a 2-year old in tow. I visited Idlewild 6 and 9 July with my family, and wow,... more
