Huge family here. 6 children, 2 adults. So price is very important to us in finding a place to take everyone for a vacation/good time. We ordered online which you normally get charged a "convenience fee" from most places - Not the case here! In fact, we saved even more money and time. They gave a discount for ordering online and that allowed us to get in probably 30 minutes earlier because we didn't have to wait in the long line of people who had to buy tickets when they got there. For all of us, and for access to both the amusement park and the water park, it cost under 225$. That's huge for a family like mine. We also bought lunch at the Philly cheese steak place where we all had half a sandwich each, bought 4 fries, and 7 drinks and after tax was 75$. About 30$ cheaper than most of the other places that were there and the steaks were delicious and the fries were excellent! Fountain sodas, as normal we're loaded with ice and not very good (personal distaste). The lines for the water park were actually longer than the lines in the amusement park but they all moved fairly quickly and I never felt like my kids were getting too impatient. The lazy river was wonderful (mostly for us adults who were ready to relax). The wave pool was awesome and the kids had a blast. The amusement side was great as well. They went on every ride at least once and several more than once. The sun was beating down hard all day but there was no shortage of shaded areas to sit and watch the children on the rides they went on. All in all this was worth every penny for all 8 of us and is now on our list to go to again in the future. I cannot recommend this enough of you are on a budget and still want the amusement park experience! Thank you!!

A family favorite every year. Recommend coming and hitting the midway first, then rest of the day in the water park, otherwise you end up almost too exhausted to enjoy the rides. Pizza is AMAZING. Prices are very reasonable: you can even get in half price after 4pm! The staff was very nice- when my daughter got scared on a particular ride, the attendant personally came over to make sure she was ok, and thanked her for trying. I was very appreciative of that. My only problem (more of a wish than a problem) the hours. Water park opens at 11am, closes at 7. Midway opens at noon, closes at 8. Way, waaaay too soon— what a waste of all the beautiful lights of the rides that would otherwise be lit up at night! I personally would very much enjoy a lazy river ride at night! I’m not expecting them to stay open until 3am or anything, but even the county fair closes at 10! I suppose at night the need for added security would be too great. We did encounter many groups of rowdy pre-teens with no parental supervision that were pushing their way through lines, cursing in front of small children, and splashing people who definitely did not want to be splashed. But, that’s a given in any park. Regardless, still a great place and family tradition for many. Don’t miss it!

The only place I have been that does not follow ADA protocol. I'm in a wheelchair, and cannot do most things at the park except the train and MAYBE the merry-go-round. I clearly was in a leg cast, very clearly- and the 30$ rental for the power scooter- we got a push one for 8$ instead, I was not allowed to take my daughter, who had an all day ride and slide pass to the water park. I, in my wheelchair, was almost kicked out of the park when I got upset that they were telling me to leave my child unattended or pay 60+$ for a ticket to be in there!!! People always wonder why children are not attended all the time- this is why! I would have to buy an all day pass for both parks for myself, at full price (you can't have a water pass if you don't have a park pass. No discount available. No ADA accommodations, even though I clearly could not enter the water with my leg in a cast- they wanted me to send my child, who also requires ADA accommodations and an escort at all times, to send her on her own but it's redundant. I actually fell trying to get on the train but I couldn't escort my child to the park. My caregiver doesn't have to pay to take me places if she's just my escort and most places are really nice about it and offering some sort of discount - rent the stroller and have a pass to make sure your child doesn't get hurt on our watch... I don't understand why or how they refused to accommodate to the extent of kicking me out of the park, a disabled woman, who just had 3 surgeries and clearly could not walk. I'm very disappointed and do not look forward to going back. I'd rather drive to King's Dominion or Lego Land for the price of one afternoon at this dopamine chasing money trap.

Ok I had a great time as a child. Which so be it, it is a child park. But for an person who likes more of an adrenaline rush I wouldn’t recommend really. There is about 20 ish rides, most of the early 2000 rides (I think I’m not to good with ride dates) But if you do enjoy high places, I recommend their water slides!!! I’ll be honest I could only do the smallest one because today wasn’t a good day. Too stressed and I couldn’t turn my mind off enough to not think bout being 150 ft off the ground😅😅. It’s also really affordable I believe the best pass is under $40!!! Food prices is about normal. Ride operators were a little cranky but I know how crazy of a job it really is, so I give them credit. On our trip today we got split apart from one of our friends for a few minutes and we asked staff to help us look for them and they did everything they possibly can to help us find them so they obviously care about their guest!!! Overall I give the park a 7.5/10 !!! Thankfully we had a great time even if my breaks went on my car as soon as I pulled into the parking lot 😅😅 the highs and lows of life ig. {I sent my friend this as a review, he is thinking about bringing his family. He told me to share my review!!}

We went late in the season (Aug 20) and this was our first time. We were considering Kennywood, but it was further away and is geared for bigger kids more than DelGrosso's. Being late in the season, a few of the rides/attractions were not available. However, we were also afforded a discounted rate. Even though we knew some of the attractions were closed, we decided to try going here anyway. We were able to bring food in, although the waterpark is restricted to a 10"x10"x12" cooler. There are picnic places to leave your larger items if desired. We ordered and shared a cheesesteak sandwich, fries and a drink. Reasonably priced, the food was pretty good. Although, I do have to warn that they put tomato sauce on the cheesesteak (don't think the one with the whiz has tomato sauce). I have to say, the tomato sauce ruined what was an otherwise stellar cheesesteak sandwich. But, we still ate it as we were hungry. Bottom line, it was a blast for the kids (and adults). They had a great time, even though some of the rides were too big for our little one. Both said they would love to go back again and we will likely oblige.

This was our first time at the park. I've heard about Delgrosso's for years, but it's over 2 hours away and I didn't make the trip. I finally decided it was time to pack up the family and take them for something different. The kids are 5, 6 & 16. ALL of them had a blast on both sides of the park. We first started on the water park side since they opened earlier and they loved it. After about 90 minutes, we dried off and got a bite to eat. The kids had the pasta and really liked it a lot. Then we moved over to the rides and it was great until it started raining. Luckily the rain only lasted about 20 minutes and that was just enough time to grab a funnel cake. After that, they rode a few more rides and headed back to the water park for finish off the day. Everyone was really friendly, park was clean and had no issues. The only downside I see is if you like the slides, you are going to spend a whole lot of time waiting in line. We waited in line once for about 45 minutes and didn't try again because it took so long. I will say that 1 of the slides wasn't available during that time also.
