The Pennsylvania Amusement Parks Association was formed in the early 1930's by a group of amusement park owners and managers. Its purpose was and is to promote the amusement park industry by gathering and disseminating information, secure the interchange of knowledge among members relating to better management and methods of doing business, upholding a good public image, and by united action exert influence upon legislation to promote the best interest of our industry.

An annual Spring membership meeting offers an opportunity to meet and discuss common problems and challenges, and to hear speakers on topics of vital interest to all members.
