Northeastern Parks Open This Weekend

Hi All,

I am driving from Columbus to Rhode Island this weekend. I don't have a ton of time, but I want to hit a park on the way. Passing through PA, NJ, Conn., and MA.

Preferrebly I would like a smaller park that can be done in half a day..that obviously is open this time of year. Help would be appreciated!

Thank You.

Here are some other links that might help tho:

P18, Lake Compounce's site says they don't open 'till Mid May. Am I missing something?

"seem like nice smaller parks in CT, although they arent open this weekend."

Im sorry, I mentioned they weren't open next weekend, just listed them as reference, which I guess was pointless. Im not sure of any parks at all that would be open next week which is why I posted the other links hoping they could help.

In Cleveland, The IX Center Amusement park is running.

Someone get me a bucket.

The weather does not look promising for this weekend. However I think there are only three parks open already in the Northeast.

1. SF Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ

2. Astroland & Deno's @ Coney Island Brooklyn, NY

3. SF New England in Agawam, MA

I've yet to find a park in Pennsylvania that will be open this coming weekend. You missed Hersheypark's Springtime in the Park by one weekend; unfortunately, the park isn't going to reopen until May 5.

Right, and Knoebels opens April 29 and Dorney doesn't open until I think May 6? I would go to SFGADV if I were you, although it may be busier than anticipated for early in the season.
