Summer is drawing to a close, but we know a way to end the season of a deliciously high note: by attending Duke's BBQ at Dutch Wonderland! Taking place at the family-friendly amusement park over Labor Day weekend, this event promises music, games, and an all-you-can-eat barbecue buffet.

For a set fee of $15.99 (plus tax) for adults and $9.99 (plus tax) for kids 12 and under, your brood can enjoy a delicious buffet spread that includes barbecue chicken, hot dogs, mac and cheese, coleslaw, watermelon, soft drinks, and other summertime favorites. After chowing down, you can head over to Duke's Lagoon to splish and splash in the waterpark. Then, venture over to any of the theme park's 30 rides, from coasters and carousels to bumper cars and fun houses!

Note that tickets to Duke's BBQ do not include admission to the amusement park!
