This place was pretty amazing!! I was invited for a child's bday party. 1st time ever coming to this park. It has it all. Putt putt, playgrounds, Merry Go Round, Train, rock mining and so much more! I didn't have time to explore it all. I'll definitely be taking my boys here again!!
It's a beautiful park! You can walk around thw whole lake, and its a nice walk. The ducks are cute and will follow you around. The campground is nice.
My only complaint would be that all the activities close early.
We visited for the first time recently. The weather was so hot, so our visit wasn’t as long as it could have been. There are so many attractions that a family could easily spend the entire day here. My children loved the carousel and the wildlife adventure. They would have liked the train more without the tunnels because it was so hot inside of them, but they still enjoyed it.
There were many people there the day that we went, including several church groups, and the park didn’t feel crowded.
Most attractions range from $.50-$2 per person. They do accept credit cards in the building attached to the train attraction. You can purchase all of your attraction tickets there. I noticed that the ticket booth at the wildlife attraction had a sign that said cash only, but we used a card to buy ours in the other building.
I recommend packing a lunch and bringing plenty of water. They host a fall festival that sounds like a lot of fun. We plan to come back for it.
Great park with plenty of activities to do. There's plenty of shelters to celebrate birthdays or to have barbecues. The lake is beautiful and you can feed the ducks. There's a small zoo, a train, a carousel, and a big playground.
