"Family Fun!"
February 2022
The park had kid rides to thrill rides, and my 7 year old and daredevil 9 year old were thoroughly entertained from 11am to 7pm! The park was not as pricey as Dreamworks, and I felt there was even more to do. We opted for the quick pass, which was a lifesaver. The ShellRaiser coaster was terrifying, and I don't quite think we understood what we had gotten ourselves into (it was the first ride we got on), but thrill seekers will love it, and my 9 year old ended up wanting to do it again with her dad. It was great to find tickets for less through Tripster since we needed to also purchase the quick pass!

Tip: The Quick Pass is a must on busy weekends of school vacations! We went on President's Day, and we were so glad to have it to skip the lines and waiting. It was pricy, but we were there to enjoy the park, not wait in lines.
