We love Palace Playland at OOB, Maine!! It's one of the last holdouts as far as beach amusement parks go. It's not huge, and we chose to go her specifically because I didn't want to deal with huge crowds and a giant, expensive amusement park. There is a large Ferris wheel that overlooks the park and the ocean, a small... More

I love seaside amusement parks. There's something special about them. Yes, they may be old and not exciting to some but these bring back my childhood memories. Palace Playland is one of them. Great rides for children and families, arcades and games plus they have a funhouse. I love the smell of hot dogs, cotton candy and other delights mixing... More

We bought our kids season passes at Palace Playland for the 2012 season and it was a big hit. The kids loved spending weekends at the beach and going on rides at will. There are many rides for younger children which is nice. We found it nice to go swimming in the afternoon , then naptime then rides in the... More

Almost all of the rides are for younger kids which is great if you have a family. But for the older crowd and 18+ the rides will seem tame; there are 3-4 good 'adult' rides. Other than that, the park is always clean, staff is friendly, great location, and the arcade is fun. There's nothing like walking straight off the... More

So exciting to see the grandchildren go on the rides something they have been talking about for several months. But so sad to see my grandson growing up and is to small to ride the kiddie rides any more he is into the big rides. So the granddaughter is all alone on the rides but she doesn't mind she loves...

If you have younger kids this is a good place to spend some time at. We had a range of kids in our group and the younger ones had a good time. A book of 20 tickets cost $23, There are different quantities of tickets needed for each type of ride, The rides are a little on the short side,... More

All rides were extremely short. Bumper cars lasted about a minute. A book of 20 tickets cost $23.00. Bumper cars require 4 tickets. A family of four use all but four tickets out of a book, for a minute ride. Rediculously overpriced. Crowded, small common areas, nasty, carny atmosphere. My wife wanted to see Old Orchard. Now we can say,... More

Its your typical amusement park. We got the 2 day pass for kids and my husband. I loved the fact that I could just walk around, not having to purchase any kind of pass if i wasnt going to be riding anything. Lots of food outlets, not outrageously priced. Lot for kiddies to ride on. My 4 year old was... More
