Kid Tips

Toddlers & Pre-K: There's a Ferris wheel, a super slide, a carousel, a family roller coaster, and rides geared toward the under-48" set so there's lots for the little ones to do (including skating during the week for kids ages 6 and under). Enchanted Forest may be a better choice for a toddling first-timer, though.

School-Age Kids: A school child's paradise.

Pre-Teens & Teens: The park has several thrill rides, like the Looping Thunder Roller Coaster. But if that's not good enough, a new coaster called the Disk'O has you ride as if you're on a motorcycle.

Planning Notes

• Directions on the Web. Check the website for driving directions from every direction.
• Special preschool discounts. In summer and early fall, on Tuesdays and Wednesday mornings, the park offers a great deal for preschoolers and is free for their adult companions. They also give out milk and cookies and have story time.
