Kennywood lit for the holidays
The seventh season of Holiday Lights at Kennywood is in full swing.
Holiday Lights continues from 5 to 9 p.m.every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night through Dec. 23, and will be open nightly from Dec. 26 to 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,” said Kennywood General Manager Jerome Gibas. “Guests can have fun at Kennywood and pass on some holiday goodwill at the same time.”
Kennywood will again boast Pennsylvania’s tallest Christmas tree, at 90 feet, plus a 10-foot tree-topping ornament, featuring a nightly tree lighting ceremony at 5:45.
In addition to adding light displays around Kennywood – now closing in on 2 million lights in all – some displays have been moved.
The Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers model train display is in a larger space in the Penny Arcade, where an even more elaborate attraction for guest viewing has been constructed. With space in the Penny Arcade opened up, more guests can get warm in the historic Parkside Café, 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 3 and younger are free. Parking is also free.
