Dutch Wonderland
is a 48-acre family amusement park located east of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in beautiful Lancaster County.  Founded in 1963 by Earl E. Clark and his family of Lancaster PA, Dutch Wonderland started as a modest 18 acre family park with 4 rides.  From those humble beginnings, Dutch Wonderland quickly grew in popularity to become a charming, well-liked family destination appealing primarily to families with small children.  The Clark family later expanded the family oriented amusement park to include the Old Mill Stream Campground and the Discover Lancaster County History Museum.   Since then the and was named Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Complex has grown to a 48 acre park with over kid friendly 30 rides, shows and interactive attractions.  The original entrance to the park still stands as a real stone castle facade that was built by Earl Clark before he opened the park in 1963.  With added attractions like Milk Bossie the Cow, ring the school bell, meet live farm animals or visit Duke’s Lagoon water play area, as well as special events throughout the season, there is plenty to keep young children active for hours of fun, living up the the parks theme "Kingdom for Kids".   The park and related properties include the Wonderland Mini-Golf area, the Old Mill Stream Campground, and The Gift House at Kitchen Kettle Village.

In 2001, the Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Complex was purchased by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company, which also owns and operates Hershey Park in nearby Hershey, Pennsylvania.  Today it is owned and operated by Wonderland Amusement Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company. 

The park today has 34 rides as well as an interactive water play area named Duke's Lagoon and shows and events all throughout the season.  During the extended season there are events for Halloween and Christmas such as "Happy Hauntings" and "Dutch Winter Wonderland".  Dutch Wonderland is conveniently located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, which offers shopping, sight-seeing, and an experience in the beautiful timeless area known as Amish country.  The area also offers plenty of lodging, entertainment and dining.
