What to Expect:

In the spirit of Halloween, Kennywood undergoes a complete make-over, with costumed actors roaming the paths, spooky music filling the air, classic horror movies playing, fog blanketing the park and every light bulb in the park is changed to a different color - even in the restrooms! Chainsaw-wielding ghouls jump out in the most unexpected places, and the traditional rides take on a spooky theme.

Freaky Food:

Almost a dozen food stands are open throughout the park with Halloween-themed foods such as Fright Fries, Monster Dogs, Brain Freezes, Cemetery Sausage, Grave Yard Pizza and Cotton Cobwebs.

Before you Go:

For safety reasons, masks, costume-style make-up and costumes are not permitted at Phantom Fright Nights. Kennywood does not recommend Phantom Fright Nights for children under 13, but all ages are admitted.

The busiest days are expected to be Saturdays, October 11, 18 and 25. You've been warned!
