U.S. rankings spotlight three amusement and water parks in Pennsylvania as exceptional
Pennsylvania's Amusement Parks Shine in Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards
Pennsylvania's amusement parks have been recognised in Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards Best of the Best 2022. Three parks, including Hersheypark, Knoebels, and Splash Lagoon, have been included in this prestigious list.
Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park Resort, with its Polynesian-themed attractions, has ranked as the 15th best amusement and water park in the United States. This Erie-based water park is a popular destination for families seeking a fun-filled day out.
The rankings for Knoebels Amusement Resort and Hersheypark in the 2022 Travelers' Choice Awards are not explicitly detailed in the search results, but they are recognised among Pennsylvania's top parks and appear prominently in local and Tripadvisor listings.
Knoebels, slated to celebrate its 100th season next year, is the largest free-admission amusement park in the country. The park is praised for its accommodating staff, clean facilities, and fun attractions. Hersheypark, located outside Harrisburg in Hershey, Pennsylvania, is one of the best amusement parks in the country, founded in 1906. It is a family-friendly destination, offering thrilling rides and lots of treats.
Tripadvisor notes Splash Lagoon's slides, pools, lazy river, extreme rides, laser tag, and more. The park offers a wide range of activities to keep visitors entertained. Hersheypark is also recognised for its clean facilities, attentive staff, and affordable prices.
Cedar Point, located nearby Ohio, is known for its 18 roller coasters and landed in the No. 16 spot on the list of best amusement and water parks. This further highlights the high standard of amusement parks in the region.
