About Liberty Park Amusement
Liberty Park Amusement appears to be a charming, older-style amusement park undergoing a revival under dedicated new ownership (Dustin/Dusty). Its unique value proposition lies in the highly personalized and accommodating service, especially during off-peak times, where the owner may run rides specifically for your family and make experiences interactive. It also offers surprisingly good, affordable food, notably grass-fed local beef burgers.

What parents say
"I got tickets to go on the train with my 18 month old. Figured I’d get a drink as long as I was there. Still waiting. I missed the train while waiting. Also missed my kid’s high school graduation. Would not recommend."

"Little hidden gem for kids. And don’t sleep on their burgers! The Owner Dusty was very nice and is working so hard to keep this place around. Went on a cold night in January and we were the only ones but they gladly ran the Ferris wheel just for us and took us on a private train ride. We then got burgers with fries and learned they have grass fed pasture raised local beef from Utah. I hope people start coming more often and spread the word to friends. They Also have carousel, fun looking swing ride and airplane ride for smaller kids. Fun activity for the kiddos and good food if you’re hungry"

"this is the most sketchy “amusement park” you will ever see. the ride attendants just walk away from the rides as it’s moving and don’t pay any attention. I ordered a single pretzel from the food area and it took almost 30 minutes to come out. this is absolutely ridiculous and this place should not be in operation."
