Things to know before booking your Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom tickets

Booking window

Advance purchase needed: Tickets are available online and may sell out 3–4 weeks ahead on peak summer weekends. Book at least 2 weeks in advance so you avoid last-minute rushes. (As of 2023‑10‑10)

What’s included

Full park access: Standard admission covers both the amusement park and Wildwater Kingdom water attractions. Note that add‑ons—such as Fast Lane, parking, or cabana rentals—are available separately.

Entrances & flow

Main gate with security screening: All guests enter via the primary gate, where pre‑purchased tickets help you skip the ticket booth; however, every visitor must undergo a security check (approximately 10–30 minutes).

Ways to explore

Plan your park route: Using the official park map lets you cluster rides and water attractions to reduce excessive backtracking and manage crowd flow effectively.

Add‑ons & upgrades

Optional upgrades for time-saving: Fast Lane can cut ride wait times by up to 30 minutes on busy days, and cabanas reserve a shaded space in the water park for comfort.

Policies & rules

Strict safety and entry protocols: Adhere to ride height restrictions, bag‑checks, and no outside food rules. Always confirm current weather and operating policies before your visit.

Tips & guidelines

• Wear moisture-wicking, flexible clothing and sturdy, closed-toe shoes for both walking the park and water rides; pack appropriate swimwear for Wildwater Kingdom.
  
• Bring a waterproof bag or pouch for valuables and an extra change of clothes since water rides can thoroughly soak your belongings.
  
• Arrive early and plan your route with the park map to reduce unnecessary walking and waiting in long lines, especially on popular days.
  
• In hot summer weather, carry sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses since water sprays and reflective surfaces intensify sun exposure even on cloudy days.
  
• Pre-measure kids’ heights at home to avoid unexpected ride restrictions and allow extra time for security checks and safety procedures.
