Our daughters were really excited to visit. The ease of exiting and re-entering made it easy for us to go out to the mall to eat and come back in to enjoy more time at the park. I loved the lazy river. My oldest loved the drop slides but even had fun on the Kungfu Panda themed play set area where my youngest enjoyed a lot of her time. I really appreciated that the wave pool was only closed for a couple of minutes and quickly reopened. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about at DreamWorks was that HeadOut told us our tickets were good from 10AM-8PM on the day of our visit, but the park closed at 7PM. I don't know if it actually opened at 10AM because we hadn't planned to get there until 11 (the hours posted on the website), so we didn't arrive until about 11:30 or so. Otherwise, it was a good experience that we travelled six hours for. We may not get to come back as there is so much to see and do, but we will definitely be telling others about this incredible park.

Lot's of new information about the Rockefeller buildings. Our guide was really enthusiastic and well prepared. It would be better if the tour would contain the observation desk.

The show is wonderful! Fantastic sets and superlative actors. We had seats in the Intermediate Mezzanine area and you could see very well. The theater is beautiful, it looks like a wedding favor. Highly recommended experience!

Had a great time at the Central Park Zoo with my 11 year old grandson. The zoo staff was friendly and the animals entertained especially the seals.
