We visited on a Friday afternoon during the school year and it was the perfect day for it, not crowded at all, staff was warm and attentive everywhere you turned, and there was just so much to explore across two floors. As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for places where kids are learning without even realizing it and this delivered completely. My little ones were engaged the entire time, bouncing between exhibits and coming back to do things on repeat. The water table on the second floor was a huge hit (dam building = instant obsession), the crawl-through body exhibit had them giggling the whole way through, and the immersive hall with the giant projector and the orchestra activity where they put their faces into the performers? They talked about that the whole ride home. We timed our visit to catch the 3 o'clock otter feeding and training, definitely worth planning around. Maybe 30 people gathered and it was totally manageable and really sweet to watch. What surprised me most was how engaged I was as an adult. I was genuinely learning things alongside my kids, which is not always the case at these types of places. It felt appropriate and interesting for every age in our group. A few things to know before you go: follow the directions on their website for the specific parking garage , it's about a 5-minute walk and was only $5 for us. Strollers and wagons are totally doable with elevators throughout. They also have a café if you want to make a full day of it, and rotating special exhibits (always check the website ahead of time so you know what's on and whether it fits your crew). We stayed about two and a half hours and left happy. Already thinking about when we're coming back.

In case you're wondering, no, it's not the fastest in the state.......that claim is held by the incredible Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood. For years, Steel Force was the biggest and baddest coaster on the eastern seaboard, but the recent additions of Nitro @ SFGAd in New Jersey and Fury 325 @ Carowinds have usurped the title once held by this Steve Okamoto-designed monstrosity. Situated at the back of the part, this hypercoaster relies purely on speed + height as its defining attributes, with some always appreciated camelback hills coming on the return trip. There's a tunnel at the base of the 205ft drop, and another tunnel at the bottom of one of the hills towards the end of the run. The turnaround gives some nice positive G's throughout the 540° helix without being overly jarring. There was some VERY unnerving side-to-side rocking on the 200ft lift hill, which made a normally calm and collected Eric S extremely anxious. I suppose that just heightened the thrill factor, but when there's absolutely nothing to your left except a hundred foot dropoff, that gets one's heart racing a bit. Great pockets of airtime on the 'bunny hops' headed back to the station platform. Steel Force has several "sibling" coasters at sister Cedar Fair parks: Mamba @ Worlds of Fun, Wild Thing @ ValleyFair!, and of course Magnum XL-200 @ Cedar Point. Not to take anything away from this awesome coaster, but I will say that Magnum delivers a crazier ride than SF in my opinion (cannot comment on the first two....although I will be visiting Minnesota later this summer.....) I will say that Steel Force is the only truly 'extreme' coaster at the normally reserved Dorney Park. Lines can get long, but during summer months a 3-train operation cranks through guests no problem, so waits shouldn't be a major issue most of the time. With regard to the font row vs back row debate, it's a straight wash in my opinion. Between the rather lengthy ride time of 3 minutes and a peak velocity of 75mph, it is without question Dorney's best coaster. The Force is indeed strong with this one.......

This bird doesn't exactly soar above one's expectations…read more Despite a snazzy name, Dorney Park's only wooden roller coaster (the ill-fated Hercules was demolished in 2003) doesn't have much to offer in the thrill department. With a height of 80ft and a top speed of 45mph, T-Hawk has the potential for some good moments but squanders them on a lousy layout that's laden with trim brakes. Originally built as the not-so-cleverly-named 'Coaster' in 1924, it began as a straightforward out & back model. In 1930, the layout was reconfigured to a 'figure 8' style that exists to this day. 1988 saw a name change to Thunderhawk and the 2016 season witnessed a new coat of paint and shiny new trains from Philadelphia Toboggan Company. That's where the good news ends, however. With a runtime of only 1 minute 46 seconds, it's a noticeably short ride that features some unpleasantly brutal lateral G's and surprisingly minimal negative G's. Wooden coasters are supposed to have abundant airtime, and this one, well, doesn't. There wasn't much difference in airtime between the first and last rows, although the front delivered a distinctly rougher experience. After two full laps, I had no desire to ride it a third time (wait a sec, Eric S doesn't want a re-ride?? That should tell you something). To add insult to injury, when I visited on a Saturday in mid-May, they were running a single train operation. This is likely due to the lack of a block brake section, which comes standard on coasters made in the modern era. But for a complete circuit coaster to have only 1 train leaves me scratching my head, as I'm stuck standing in a considerably longer line. I dunno. I had high(er) hopes from this ride and walked away disappointed. To me, Thunderhawk was marginally more than a rumble.

(Admission otherwise is only $3 for adults and $2 for kids 2-17). There's animals/insects inside such as owls, huge cockroaches, giant turtle, snakes. And a cute reading corner full of nature books. There's also a discovery den AKA play area indoors for $1. There's animals/insects outdoors such as turkey vultures, turtles, a butterfly house and a bird observatory (cute on the inside with toys for the kiddos - be sure to read the story about the couple who opened the center). And a natural playscape outdoors. There's also a bunch of fairy houses throughout the property that girl scouts donated. And lots of trails through the forest. They also have Magic Mornings for ages 2-4 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - but register ahead as they only have a certain amount of spots each day (it's seasonal - they have in fall and spring but not summer - see website). It's an hour class for $10 and includes a snack, craft, nature walk etc. They usually pull out an animal each class. It's great to get some time in nature with other kids. In summer, they have a full week of Magic Mornings in their Itty Bitty Briar Camp. Ms. Heidi teaches it and she is just great. They have a different theme every day such as sun, water, clouds etc and there's an activity each day (visit pond and catch tadpoles, water play, craft pertaining to theme). They have preschool pioneers for ages 4-5 and summer camp for older kids for a week in late June. *Just beware in June that parking is limited due to school field trips and you may not fit in either of the lots; you may have to park out front of the house to the left (which is fine - she just doesn't want buses idling there) They also have field trips to gardens and to the shore, classes for seniors, family nature nights, hot smores nights... Only negative (besides parking, which they can't really control), is the "snacks" for kids at Magic Mornings aren't the healthiest. One was cinnamon sugar graham crackers with whipped cream- regular would have been fine. 2 days were cheddar gold fish. Another day was blue jello with whipped cream. And some red licorice - the kind that whips. Fruit Loops were used for colors. So, if you don't like your child eating sugar, let them know you have a dietary restriction or bring your own snack (snack time is ~10 min and probably not needed but the kids always love snack time!). Some options that would be healthier and just as easy would be pretzel sticks, fruit, crackers, popcorn, veggies, string cheese...but I guess those all cost more besides pretzels/crackers/popcorn.
