The park is located 4 miles east of Lancaster, PA, on Lincoln Highway East.

Things that draw to Dutch Wonderland

Despite the fun loving image of the amusement park, it is quite strict. The park has uncompromising rules and policies on Safety First for everyone. So, parents can be rest assured that their family is in good hands. Some of the park rules, though, can get on the nerves of the visitors e.g. The park does not allow any kind of pet inside the park, be it - dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards, snakes, pigs, hamsters, turtles, birds, tarantulas, mice, monkeys, ferrets, ponies and so on. But, it does consider people with physical disabilities and allow them to bring along certified service dogs.

Dutch Wonderland - A little bit of fact & a little bit of history

Dutch Wonderland covers around 48 acres (18 ha) filled with amusing amusement park rides and activities for the kids. The park is small enough for them to walk around without getting tired and huge enough that they don't easily get bored. This winter wonderland, as many choose to call it, is in the region of Amish & PA Dutch Countryside.

It was opened on 20th May in 1963 for families to spend some quality and fun time together. One of the highlights of the park is the entrance stone. It is a castle which seems identical to one described in the fairy tales. It was established by Earl Clark before the park was opened.

The park is kids-centric, though, it takes care of the adults too. It offers equally engaging activities to do and things to see in and around the park. Everyone's welcome, be it- parents, grandparents, distant relatives, family friends; anyone who tags along. The needs and wants from young to old and everyone in-between is thoughtfully cared about. Everything is managed accordingly by the hardworking and dedicated staff of the Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park.

A lot of companies have been in-charge of its operation. The Clark family was in complete control when it was first opened. It was then sold to Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company. For a long time, it was operated as a joint- venture with Wonderland Mini-Golf and Old Mill Stream Campground, along with Gift Shop at Kitchen Kettle Village in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Finally, Palace Entertainment took control over the park on 12th November in 2010. They have followed the original concept introduced by the Clark Family, and have brought minor reforms to improve the overall experience.
