If going to an amusement park still stirs up that sense of childish wonder in you, you are not alone! There are few places more magical than an amusement park where snacks and fun rides abound, where the smell of corn dogs and cinnamon bread fill the air, where families take endless pictures and kids scream on the rollercoasters. It’s a place of fun, and what should be equally fun is the outfit you choose to wear to it!
Whether you are a Mickey Mouse ears fan or you prefer a more elegant look, today’s article will answer the question of what to wear to an amusement park, plus give you tips and ideas for what you can wear.
Planning and Styling Tips
- Always check the weather before deciding what you are going to wear. Even scattered showers can alter your outfit choices.
- If you are worried about getting sunburnt, try a white, long-sleeved tee shirt, or other breezy material that lets you feel the air while still providing coverage.
- By the same token, a hat is always a wise choice. But if you plan on going on rides, consider removing it (plus, some rides don’t allow hats) or make sure it offers some type of adjustment to make sure it stays secure on your head.
- You don’t want to be carrying a lot around, so be sure to stick to the essentials. Consider swapping out your typical purse for a small backpack purse or a fanny pack. Even a drawstring bag works well.
- Avoid any type of outfit that requires constant adjustment or fixing. That’s just not fun.
- Activewear is always a great choice. After all, you will be quite active at an amusement park!
- Focus on building an outfit that won’t make you unnecessarily hot and that allows you to stay as cool as possible throughout the day.
- Pro tip: If you are someone who gets particularly sweaty but hate showing sweat stains, don’t wear gray! Sweat shows up really clearly on gray clothing. But don’t let the fear of sweat stains hold you back. We are all human and we all sweat. Just try and have fun!
Amusement Park Outfit Ideas
↓ 20 – Red Flannel & Jeans
If you are visiting an amusement park in the fall or even in the latter part of a summer day, a light jacket is something you should consider. Or, in the case of this look, a classic red flannel shirt. What’s great about this option is that you can tie the shirt around your waist if you start feeling too warm and it’s equally stylish. I love the simplicity of this look which is very down-to-earth and comfortable but has the elements of a cute hairstyle, oversized hoop earrings, and a knotted tee to keep it chic. Here are some more ideas on How To Wear Red Pants.

A fanny pack is not only super practical for an amusement park but it’s super stylish as well! Get yourself a trendy brand-name bag and you have a showpiece that will tie your whole look together. This is a great example of an outfit you could wear on a super hot day. Simply pair a white cropped tank with your favorite denim shorts and add some cute sneakers.
↓ 18 – Cute Floral Summer Dress
If you are looking to have a more lowkey kind of day at the park or fair, a gorgeous floral summer dress might be the pick for you. While I wouldn’t recommend dressing to the nines if you plan on really putting in the miles and spending the entire day doing rides and trekking from one side of the park to the other, it’s great for those less active times where you just want to enjoy some cotton candy and play some games.

Here’s another example of a summer dress you could wear. This look is great for a summer evening at the carousel or eating ice cream with that special someone. A dress like this is lightweight so be sure to bring along a jacket in case you get cold.

↓ 15 – Amusement Park Outfits for Moms
After you have checked the weather, packed the car, gotten your little one dressed and fed it’s easy to collapse in a pile of yoga pants and tank tops and call it a day. And that’s before you even got out the door! Do yourself a favor and keep your look simple but cute. A stylish crewneck, your favorite pair of jeans, a logo baseball hat, and some Vans are all you need to rock your Mom-approved amusement park ensemble.
↓ 14 – What Footwear to Wear to an Amusement Park?
What you put on your feet might actually be the most important element of your outfit. Chances are you will be on your feet most of if not all of the day. So put aside the heels and espadrilles for the day and stick to wearing sneakers. Your feet will thank you.
↓ 13 – Amusement Park Date Outfit
An amusement park is a great place to have a date! But what to wear? Well, despite my previous suggestion, a cute pair of wedges might be a good option for you… but only if you don’t plan on walking the whole day, or even being out the whole day. If you plan on spending a couple of hours doing some small rides and tossing pies then whip out those wedges, girl, and have fun. But if you plan on really hoofing it, swap them out for some cute walking sneakers. Your date will still think you look cute, especially if you add some heart-shaped shades to your look!

↓ 12 – Cute Tee & Black Jean Skirt
Visiting Disneyland may be your only chance to indulge your love of Mickey Mouse ears. So I’m not one to say you should avoid them! But before settling for the basic black and white ones, why not try some chic satin and glitter? Make your accessory part of your overall look and pair them up with a cute tee tucked into a jean skirt. Love!
↓ 11 – Celebrity Style
I think this lowkey, casual outfit worn by Selena is a fantastic choice for an amusement park outfit. Especially if you are going on a cooler day. It’s comfortable without sacrificing an inch of style… just the kind of look I love.
↓ 10 – Amusement Park Outfit to Wear in Fall
If you are going in the fall, then incorporating a cute jacket is a must. I love this cropped, furry style one that looks fantastic with some high-waist jeans.
↓ 9 – Amusement Park Outfit to Wear in Winter
While some might argue that winter is really not the ideal time to be heading to a park, here’s an outfit to wear in case you do. I think a snow-covered park is a gorgeous place to take pictures so if all else fails, plan on having a photoshoot! Just add a coat to keep from freezing.

Nothing really beats a cute tee knotted at the waist and paired with some jean shorts. Add some statement sunglasses and your favorite pair of fashion sneakers (peep the matching bag!) and you’ve got yourself a look.
↓ 7 – With Jean Jacket
I’m all about practical solutions that double as stylish ones. And tying a jean jacket around the waist is a great example of that. It looks like it’s just a part of your outfit but the second temperatures drop, you’ve got yourself a great cover-up. Personally, I love this outfit. It’s another one of those stylish-but-comfy looks that won’t let you down.
↓ 6 – What Accessories to Wear
When it comes to accessories, you don’t want to overdo it. But that doesn’t mean you have to forego them altogether. A chunky belt, a cute bracelet, and a mini crossbody bag are all stylish pieces that also add the perfect finishing touches to your ensemble.

Here’s another option that suits ladies of all shapes and sizes. Just because you are wearing a tee doesn’t mean you can’t get one with a little pizzazz. In this case, a mix of prints and a pop of color by way of a pink pocket makes this tee a cut above your basic graphic tee option. Add some accessories and a swipe of your favorite pink lipstick and you’ll be rocking the look.
↓ 4 – Graphic Tee & Biker Shorts
Biker shorts are a fantastic option for a day at the park. Pair yours up with a band tee shirt and some sneakers and you’ve got a simple outfit that is super trendy as well.

Personally, I am a fan of outfit #2. The more engaged in the experience I am, the more fun my kids have. A little body paint and removable tattoos goes a long way as well. Thanks for a great article.
