Kennywood, Sandcastle and Idlewild will honor military service members this 4th of July weekend by offering them free admission to the parks.
All active and retired service men and women can take advantage of the offer when visiting any of the three parks from July 2-5.
In addition, they'll be able to purchase up to three discounted tickets for family and friends at a cost of $20 each.
“As we approach the July 4 holiday, honoring our military members is one of the most important things we can do,” says Mark Pauls, Kennywood/Sandcastle General Manager. “We’re proud to offer military members and their families a chance to come to our parks and enjoy a day of family fun!”
