Kennywood Holiday Lights return
Trending
WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. -- The stockings are hung, the lights are strung and all that's left is to flip the switch to begin the seventh season of Holiday Lights at Kennywood.
Holiday Lights begins Friday and continues every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night through Dec. 23 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Holiday Lights also will be open nightly from Dec. 26 – 30.
New this year, Kennywood is working with Toys for Tots to collect toys for children in need. Through Dec. 10 guests can receive $6 off on up to four Holiday Lights ticket when bringing a new, unwrapped toy to donate.
"We're happy to partner with Toys for Tots this season to bring cheer to kids in need," says Kennywood General Manager Jerome Gibas. "Guests can have fun at Kennywood and pass on some holiday goodwill at the same time."
Kennywood again will boast Pennsylvania's tallest Christmas tree (90 feet, plus a 10-foot tree-topping ornament), featuring a nightly tree lighting ceremony at 5:45 p.m. And in addition to the continuing addition of light displays around Kennywood (now closing in on 2 million lights in all), crews have done some rearranging for 2017.
The Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers model train display moves to a larger space in the Penny Arcade, where members can construct an even more elaborate attraction for guest viewing. With space in the Penny Arcade opened up, more guests can get warm in the historic Parkside Cafe, which will offer expanded food service this winter.
Tickets for Holiday Lights can be purchased online at www.Kennywood.com, with prices starting at $15.99. Children age 3 and under are free. Parking also is free. To see a full list of activities, plus information on schedules, discounts and more, visit www.kennywood.com/holidaylights.
