Dorney Park will open for the season May 9. The park has detailed its special events for 2025.

SOUTH WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. — There will be no new Iron Menace roller coaster this season — or any announced new ride, for that matter.

But Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom has unveiled a new lineup for the 2025 season that features a range of new festivals, holiday celebrations and exclusive family-friendly experiences.

And they all can be enjoyed throughout the year — all included with a Dorney Park Gold Season Pass.

Dorney is offering a Presidents Day sale now, with tickets available on the park website for $35 daily admission. Online daily tickets normally are $40; a daily ticket at the gate is $80.
