Enter to Win a 4-pack of tickets to Idlewild Park in Pittsburgh area!

If you live in the Pittsburgh Area, especially if you have kids, you know that Idlewild Park is THE BEST summertime place to be. Kurt and I have been going there since we were kids, and ever since my girls were old enough to ride in my lap on a carousel, we've been taking them, too.

Scouty's first trip to Idlewild's Splash Zone at 14 months old!



Would you like to win four tickets to take your family to Idlewild Park? Read on to find out how to enter!

We're headed to Idlewild Park this upcoming weekend to make the most of this hot Pittsburgh summer, and guess what?  It will be Louisey's first time!  To celebrate, I'm giving away a package of 4 tickets to Idlewild Park and Soak Zone!

    I have never been there, and I've lived near Pittsburgh all my life. I guess I'm excited for the Storybook Forest and the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood areas! It looks like so much fun for Elodie at 14 months!

    I haven't been there since I was a child. It was actually soooooo long ago that I only have memories because of the photos. We would definitely be most excited to see the Mr.Roger's Neighborhood area because L is CRAZY for trains and would love the trolley.

    Eliot loved this place! His favorite is Storybook Forest, but I have to admit, I always get a little teary on Mr. Rogers trolley.

    We love Idlewild as well, it's so big you could easily spend two days there... love the trees and shady areas to relax in between rides. Such a great family-centered place, we learned last year to hold hands while you stand under the huge bucket so it doesn't literally knock you down from the water dumping on your head.

    When we were at Idlewild when Helena was a baby, we loved the train through Mister Rogers Neighborhood of Make Believe--Helena was only 13 months old and she could ride everything there and loved the park!

    A fascinating discussion is definitely worth
    comment. There's no doubt that that you should publish more about this issue, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people do not discuss such topics. To the next! Best wishes!!

    My favorite attraction at Idlewild would have to be Story Book Forest. I love walking through with my 8 year old daughter and she can tell me all the stories. We are really wanting to go to Idewild this year my daughter is really needing a good time her 10 year old cousin just passed away from cancer on 6/20/14 so really wanting to take her to have a good time.
