Tasting Cards
Want to save money on these delicious food and drink options? Consider purchasing a Tasing Card. You can mix and match food and drink samples from any of the Bites & Pints stations. These cards are good throughout the food festival. You can purchase an 8-sample, 12-sample, or 15-sample card (though the 15-sample card is only available to passholders). These cards are currently on sale here.
If you only see two or three things you want to try, then you wouldn’t need the card. But if you’re bringing your family to Kennywood or going multiple times, the card is a good deal.
