“gets too busy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012

person found this review helpful

it offers a lot. entertainment, lots of food, lots to see... but it's just too busy for my taste. With a small child with us, we prefer to go in the off days when PNE is not open and just visit Playland. Maybe when our kids gets older, maybe we'd appreciate it more. More
