Great place for family fun for kids of all ages! It is about a 45-minute drive but well worth it. There is not an admission fee to the park, rather you pay for each ride. Each ticket costs $.25 and the most you pay per ride is four tickets and that is for the Zippin Pippin (roller coaster) and some other thrill rides. For the little ones, there are plenty of rides that only cost $.50. They have a park right there so you can have a picnic or eat a cheap meal right there. It is awesome!
