Strollers & Wagons

Strollers and wagons are permitted inside Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. You may bring your own stroller and wagon to the Park. If you do not have a stroller, they are available for rent at the Rental Center just inside the Park Entrance next to the Good Time Gifts. For all the details on rentals at the Park, including strollers, wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions Page. Wagons are not available for rent at the Park.

Official Height Measurement

Children may be officially measured at Ride Services located at the Guest Services Office at the Park Entrance, where they receive a wristband for the height category in which they belong. Children may also be measured without shoes at this time for Wildwater Kingdom water park attractions. For the safety of your child, a standard play shoe that does not contribute excessively to the child's height will be permitted. Platform shoes, for example, are not permitted to help a child meet a height requirement. Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom reserves the right to ask that shoes be removed to ensure that a child's height is not being artificially enhanced or manipulated.

Parent Swap

Parent Swap is a service available for those who have small children but no provision for childcare while participating in height-restricted rides at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. One person may wait with the child on the midway near the exit, or in the designated area on the exit side of the platform or station, while the other guests in the party enter the line. When the rest of the party has exited the ride, the person who waited with the child may enter the ride through the exit and ride. Talk to the ride host/hostess for assistance. You may receive a Parent Swap Pass to be used at a particular ride, though all rides do not use a Parent Swap Pass.
