Visit Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood--in Pennsylvania

Tuesday May 13, 2008
One of the country's premier parks for families with young children, Idlewild is loaded with charm along with the genuine nostalgia of an attraction that dates back to 1878. Olde Idlewild, one of seven areas at the park, features classic attractions such as a carousel from the 1920s, a 1947 Caterpillar--one of only two remaining that still use a canopy, and the circa-1938 Rollo Coaster, a wooden coaster. It also offers a trolley ride to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Land of Make Believe where kids can consort with King Friday the XIII and the gang. Read more about Idlewild and SoakZone, the water park that is included with admission.
