Bushkill Park

"Haunted house and tractor ride was very fun! Actors did an outstanding job! Roller blade area looked fun, food was very fair-oriented. Burgers, hotdogs etc. Rides weren't all active when I was there but looked fun for what they were"

"I was a vendor and sold well on the musical instruments pictures. The people that manage the park are terrific and very concerned about beefs you might have."

"Oldest fun house located here! Great place for families with small children! Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere, very inclusive to everyone. No entry fee and the kids just need tickets to ride. Also there's ice cream and roller skating!"

"Bushkill Park is a cute, small, family-friendly amusement park that features the country's oldest funhouse, Hilarity Hall. The park celebrated its 121st birthday in the Summer of 2023, according to news reports. Staff members I interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable. Park admission is free, and guests purchase tickets for rides. Tickets are $1 each, and each ride takes just a few tickets. Some rides at the park include a carousel, Tilt-A-Whirl, a Scrambler-type ride, and a train that takes guests throughout the park. The park also has a large rollerskating rink and concessions. I went mainly for the funhouse, which staff says is more than 100 years old. I wasn't disappointed. The large, wooden rotating barrel near the front of the funhouse wasn't operating on my visit. A staff member told me the park was flooded weeks earlier, and the barrel needed a new motor. I still had a blast walking through the old but well-kept funhouse and enjoyed seeing the old painted murals on the walls. The funhouse also features a rickety staircase that shifts back and forth as you walk up it, a walkway made of rollers, so you have to keep your balance, and my favorite - a large wooden slide that takes you to the funhouse exit. If you are unable to take the slide, there are steps next to it. My visit was brief but definitely worth the 2-hour round trip drive, especially seeing a part of history - the country's oldest funhouse."

"What a cute place! Never knew it existed! The word "dinky" comes to mind, but in a charming way. It's old and small, but that helps make it so cute. We went for a birthday party there. What a great idea! Because it's so small, we were able to stick together and ride as a huge group. No charge to get in, which is nice. The staff were not overly friendly, particularly some of the young ride operators, but the kids didn't even notice. Their favorite part of the entire day was the wooden slide inside the old- school funhouse. It was so cute. Run down but cute. Keep an eye on your young children, though. There were quite few instances where the operator didn't even notice safety hazards, like when one walked right by my young toddler "checking" all were ready to go as she was standing up in her seat out of her buckle already. I let myself in the gate to take her off before he started it. All around great time, though. We'll go back as something different to do."
