Midway State Park
Take a nostalgic ride on the vintage carousel, play a game of mini golf, take a spin on the tilt-a whirl, ride the go-karts and bumper boats
Just a mere 8.1 miles from Chautauqua and located on beautiful Chautauqua Lake, Midway State Park was originally established in 1898 as a trolley park and today it is one of the oldest continually operating amusement parks in the nation.
Take a nostalgic ride on the vintage carousel, play a game of mini golf, take a spin on the tilt-a whirl, ride the go-karts and bumper boats or let the younger family members have fun on the many kiddie rides. And, of course, there are the time-honored staples of a vintage amusement park like old-fashioned candy apple, cotton candy and classic midway games.
There are also several picnic shelters are available for family reunions and company picnics. The Midway is also accessible by the waters of Chautauqua Lake, so it is a great place for fishing and free docking is offered for day visitors.
