Dutch Wonderland à Lancaster

Dutch Wonderland is a family-friendly amusement park located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Established in 1963, it has evolved into a premier destination for family fun, spreading across 43 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The park features over 35 rides, attractions, and live shows, making it an ideal destination for tourists visiting the area. This park has a distinctly Dutch theme, with replicas of windmills and famous landmarks, as well as the iconic stone castle at its entrance, providing a whimsical ambiance that is perfect for children and families.

One noteworthy trivia about Dutch Wonderland is that Earl Clark, a farmer and cartoonist, started the park when he saw the need for affordable and family-oriented amusement options. Its historic Sky Ride, which debuted in 1966, is an iconic ride that offers stunning views of the entire park. The Duke’s Lagoon water play area, which opened in 2003, is another testament to the park's dedication to expanding and improving its facilities. Dutch Wonderland's 'A Day in the Park' show features the park’s mascot, Duke the Dragon, entertaining audiences with various spectacles.
