I think this park is a jewel in Lancaster county. I highly recommend all families with young ones to visit Dutch Wonderland and explore what it offers. Our family of 4 kids (6-12) have made 14 trips to this park since 2000. The major advantage of this park is that it offers a nice introduction and learning experience for families... More

It"s the place where the entire family can enjoy a day or two and return to the hotel every day exhausted. There's so much to do.

My children had their pictures taken with the Princess and that was just wonderful. We enjoyed the park and it was not crowded, which was fine with us and the kids.

After this park was sold to Hershey, and then sold to another company in Spain, ticket prices have skyrocketed! We used to go here together as a family since the mid to late 90s and had still gone into our teen years mostly because of tradition and we always had fun together. Sure it has been fixed up more but... More

I love this park for young kids. The rides are just the right pace for them even though they look slow to adults. Compared to Hershey, this isd a much better option for a 2 and 5 year old. The waterpark is great for little ones too. Last year (then 4 and 1) they had a great time in the... More
