Come summer, pack up your young ones and head for Idlewild and Soak Zone, an amusement and water park combo that will keep visitors cool and entertained for long summer days. From roller coasters to merry-go-round, live shows to long waterslides and lazy lounging by the Soak Zone pool there's something for all ages on hand. Your youngs ones can interactive with life-size nursery rhyme characters in Story Book Forest where Billy Goats Gruff and Mother Goose await or ride ponies and use paddle boats in Racoon Lagoon. There's also themed fun to be had in Hootin' Holler', where the scene is an old mining town, plenty of hands-on activity in Jumpin' Jungle and a bit of make-believe for the taking in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Catch an evening performance and dinner at one of the park facilities before heading home.
