Geauga Lake and Wildwater Kingdom Amusement Park
Geauga Lake and Wildwater Kingdom Water Park, located southeast of Cleveland in Aurora Ohio, is a 690 acre family-fun complex, complete with roller coasters, food concessions, and a thrilling water park...all for one admission. The park complex, first opened in 1888, is one of the country's oldest amusement parks.
Cedar Point
Located just over an hour's drive from downtown Cleveland, on the shores of Lake Erie, Cedar Point Amusement Park offers more roller coasters than any other park in the world as well as live stage shows, dozens of rides, a white sand beach, and lots of fun for all ages.
Memphis Kiddie Park
Memphis Kiddie Park has been delighting young children -- and their parents -- since 1952. The park boast miniature rides, old-style concessions, and an arcade -- all geared towards children 1-8 years old. An adjacent 18-hole miniature golf course is rated one of the best in the state.
Kennywood
Founded in 1898 as a small trolley park near Pittsburgh, Kennywood Amusement Park is now considered to be one of America's "finest traditional amusement parks." Its collection of old wooden coasters and newer, faster steel coasters makes it a favorite with roller coaster enthusiasts. Learn more about this park from the About Guide to Pittsburgh.
