A visit to Kennywood's candy store is always part of my day at the amusement park! This wonderful little shop is located in a two-level pavilion-ish building located near the entrance of the park; the lower level of the structure houses the store, while the top level is home to lockers for visitors.
It can be hard to figure out what you want as you take in all they have to offer here. Homemade fudge, chocolate covered pretzels and Oreo cookies, giant peanut butter cups, chocolate cluster treats, lollipops, caramel apples...and more! Every sweet goodie you could ask for is available here. I won't pretend that this is the cheapest candy store, but considering the quality of the goodies here, the splurge is SO worth it. The homemade fudge in particular is some of the best in the city, and it's hard for me to say no to an M&M topped cup of chocolate.
I always visit this little place on my way out of Kennywood. So do a lot of other guests, so the store fills up at the end of the night. For me waiting in line beats carrying sweet chocolate around the park all day, especially in the summer; but if you'd rather skip the worst of the line, you'll want to avoid a last minute visit as you exit Kennywood. Whenever you decide to go, you won't be disappointed! read more
