My family has been going to Adventureland for nearly 20 years. What we like about the park: 1) The price of admission. Although prices continue to soar everywhere you look, Adventureland tries to keep its prices as low as possible. 2) Price and quality of food. While things are a bit more expensive than fast food restaurants or convenience stores,... more

It was the first time I have ever been to Adventureland in Des Moines, IA. Tickets were $27 and purchased online at their website. Our friends got them for $25 at a local farm bureau. It is a fairly clean park and easy to get through in one day, although you might want to come back a second day to... more

You can get a good feel for the park by the previous reviews, but I thought I'd add some helpful hints. If you are like several of the adults at this park who are beyond their teens and twenties, you might find a bit of motion sickness keeps you from enjoying the park as much as you used to or... more

We went to Adventureland with 6 adults and 6 kids ages 8,7,7,6,4 and 2. We had a great time! Decieded to go the Friday before the Memorial day weekend and practically had to park to ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised by how many rides were available for younge kids. They could go on just about anything. Several of them went... more

My rationale for making this journey was that the park was very close... more

We've been coming to Adventureland USA with our children for every year since 2002. This is a great park for families as it has enough rides to satisfy everyone, and the rides are evenly sprinkled throughout the easy to navigate grounds. Prices are creeping up, however, and overall the customer service level seemed less than in previous years. The park... more

We went to Adventureland on Thursday, July 3, 2008 & had a great time. Our kids are 16, 8 & 6 - all three with different levels of bravery when it comes to rides - and all three found rides that they loved. My 6yo was tall enough for all of the roller coasters & loved going on her first... more

Adventureland is a great place for people of all ages. We spent a family weekend there - 14 family members ranging in age from 2 to 74. This is a nice, clean park with a great variety of shows, rides and a really great hotel. more

I'd been to Adventureland in high school a few times, but hadn't been back for 15 years until this last week when we went with our 2 kids - 5 and 2, and their grandparents. What a great time! This is a wonderful little theme park for young kids. It's small enough to easily cover in 6 hours - we... more
