Kennywood, Sandcastle To Close After Labor Day
The West Mifflin amusement park and West Homestead water park will shut down for the season following Labor Day.
PITTSBURGH, PA — Kennywood and Sandcastle will finish their seasons on Labor Day this year, the amusement park and affiliated water park announced on Thursday.
Because of a shortened operating season due to the coronavirus outbreak, all 2020 season passes will be extended to include the 2021 season, with the exception of the Summer Saver Season Pass.
New offerings that were delayed by the pandemic remain in the works to look forward to in 2021. That includes the Steelers Experience attractions at Kennywood and the Bombs Away water slide at Sandcastle.
