Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom
A long-established Allentown amusement park with thrill coasters and a large water park, the Lehigh Valley's most popular summer destination.
Dorney Park dates to 1884 and is now part of the Six Flags group. It has roller coasters such as Steel Force, Talon and Hydra, plus Wildwater Kingdom, one of the largest water parks on the East Coast. It is open daily during the summer peak and hosts Halloween-themed nights on autumn weekends. Tickets bought online are usually cheaper than at the gate, and parking costs extra. It's about a 25-minute drive from Bethlehem, so arrive early and head straight for the most popular coasters.
