Dutch Wonderland Hours, Tickets, and Parking

Dutch Wonderland’s hours depend on the operating date, so use its Calendar & Hours page to confirm the schedule for your visit.

The calendar has used a range of daily schedules, from morning openings to afternoon openings, with closing times that vary. Since the full date-to-hours schedule needs to be checked for the selected date, avoid planning around a general daily time. Operating dates, hours, and events can change without notice.

Check the official site before you go, especially if your plans depend on a particular opening or closing time. The park also says attractions may temporarily close for maintenance, safety, or inclement weather.

Children age 2 and under receive free admission, while ticket availability and prices depend on the offer and visit date.

The park advertises military and first-responder admission offers for eligible people and up to four guests. Affiliation verification is required, and the offers cannot be combined with another offer.

Advertised prices for these offers have included tickets as low as $36.99, with a crossed-out comparison price of $59.99; confirm the applicable date and price on the park’s ticket page before buying.

Dutch Wonderland also advertises a Rainy Day Guarantee. If rain affects your in-park visit, go to the Guest Experience office before leaving to receive a free return ticket.

From Ronks, use the park’s directions page to get a route tailored to your starting point; it offers a Google Maps directions option rather than a dedicated Ronks route.

For a drive from Philadelphia, the park’s directions lead via Pennsylvania Turnpike West (I-76) to exit 286, then Route 222 South to Route 30 East toward Coatesville. After the Route 30 East freeway ends, continue through four lights; the park is on the left at the fifth light.

General parking costs $25 per day for all vehicle types. Gold and Platinum Season Passholders, as well as tour and school buses, receive general parking free.

Accessible parking is $25 per day and is in the Preferred lot; you need an approved placard, must buy it at the on-site booth, and availability is first come, first served. Preferred parking costs $30 per day, is also purchased at an on-site booth, and is closest to the entrance.

Check bag and food rules before you set out: each person may bring one bag no larger than 15 x 15 x 15 inches by maximum seam dimensions, except for diaper and medical bags. You may also bring one water bottle per person and some small snacks; other food and drink are not permitted inside the park.

Most attractions, shows, and restaurants are accessible to guests with disabilities, including some guests using wheelchairs, and guests may bring their own wheelchairs.

A limited number of wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles are available to rent for a fee at Junction Rentals near the Wonderland Special Train Station at the front of the park. Rentals are first come, first served.

For a particular disability or special need, contact the park at least 48 hours before your visit. Groups with accessibility needs should give one week’s notice.

For another Lancaster County outing, planning a visit to Sight & Sound Millennium Theatre can help you shape a separate day.
