This is the amusement park to go to if you have little ones. My guys are under 48 inches tall, and they were still able to ride almost everything there (even 1 of the roller coasters). There were lots of options for them at the waterpark area too. Parking is FREE!!! You can bring your own food and beverages into... more

This park is half the price of parks like Hershey and Kings Dominion. Even if you buy tickets for both the water park and reg park its a great deal. My kids loved the water park. I will say it is tight and confusing due to poor design and maybe not enough land but worth it anyway. Lots of slides... more

Great Park

Living in PA all my life, I never realized that Erie in itself is such a great Vacation spot. After spending a week in Erie, my family of 4 had a great time and Waldameer Park and Water World is on the top of the list as a must do. Nice and small that you can do everything in a... more

With the recent additions of the flume ride, a variety of spin-and-barf rides and of course the Ravine Flyer II, Waldameer is getting better and better each year as an alternative to more expensive "large" parks. This is a perfect park for families with pre-teens. It is also a great park for non-ride-going grandparents to take kids to, since the... more

This park had a good variety of rides that satisfied our need for adrenaline rushes. There were also rides that were easier on the stomach for those who are a bit squeamish. We really enjoyed the day! more

We just visited Waldameer/Water World Park June 16th, 2009, for the first time. We were very pleased! The first half of the day was spent riding at Waldameer. The rides were (mostly) fun...our favorites were 1) the Ravine Flyer 2, a roller coaster whose first drop (you can see Lake Erie from the top!) plunges you 120 feet at a... more

We just returned from Erie PA and made a top at Waldameer On Friday May 15th. The park itself is free and parking is free. We decided to purchase a ride bracelet for my daughter who is 3 yrs old. The cost was about $13.00. Adult bracelets cost $21.00. We found to be be a great park with no lines... more

Hated it.

This is not an amusement park. It is a crap filled park with mediocre rides. It is not safe and people are smoking everywhere. Go to other parks and you will find a better experience. more

I grew up with Waldameer. It is really exciting when you are 10 and younger, but when you are a teenager and older, not so much. The best thing about it was getting in free and the fireworks. Now they have a new roller coaster, The Ravine Flyer II. Being a coaster junkie that I am I had to ride... more
