It was an incredible experience—I went on almost all the rides. I think because it was a weekday, I didn’t have to wait in line for anything since there weren’t many people there. There were Spanish speakers at the park, so I didn’t have any language issues. I’d definitely go back with my family, since I went alone this time. Recommended for both kids and adults.

Lines weren't too long even though it was spring break. Character appearances made my 3 year old so happy. My 5 year old was not tall enough for all the rollercoaster which upset him. But he was able to do shredder and the slime streak and loved it!! Great for all ages.

It was a great experience—I loved it and would go back a thousand times. It was really fun; my son had a blast and didn't want to leave. The staff were very nice and polite.
