Camden Park
Long a favorite with families, the old-school-style Camden Park has lots of fun rides and a couple of rollercoasters for young and old alike to enjoy. Situated just outside of Huntington on the way to nearby Kenova, it also contains a charming old carousel and haunted house among other attractions.
One of only a dozen trolley parks still open in the States, it was established back in 1903 as a picnic spot for the employees of the Camden Interstate Railroad Company. Alongside its Big Dipper which was built in 1958, you can now find log flume rides, bumper cars and a mini-golf course.
While it could definitely do with a fresh lick of paint, the amusement park’s old-fashioned look and feel draw visitors back time and time again.
