What parents say
"My 12-year-old granddaughter loves this place. We only visited the amusement side this time, and while they have a nice selection of rides, from toddler to the thrill rides like the 140 ft drop, there were a surprising number of attractions that were closed. She has a season pass and mentioned that some had been closed for a long time. That was disappointing. I will give kudos to the staff as everyone we encountered was very friendly and outgoing and seemed to actually enjoy their job. There are plenty of places to rest in the shade and places to buy a drink. Parking is plentiful. I appreciate"

"I've come here in the past for their Halloween events in costume without issue. Props and all. I've heard this establishment has been going downhill but didn't know how bad. Tonight I showed up with my brother, sister, and brother's girlfriend in costumes. On the way in there was not one complaint from staff or customers. Some people even asked to take photos. A nice gentlemen even gave us free tickets. After scanning our tickets, a bitter employee got snappy with my brother and I and she told me to take his and my props back to my truck. I didn't hesitate to comply cause I knew people like he"
