Well, we said it again. We love this place! There is something for the whole family to do. My kids really loved the rollercoasters, but I'd rather go play one of the easier games. We will totally come here again

Darien Lake really does offer it all. We have only done the camping (because we love to camp), but they offer so many other kinds of accommodations you simply can't go wrong. We found a campsite we really like and just keep booking the same one each year. If they have empty campsites and you don't like the one you... More

The choice of rides are average and the park is clean. The food selection is terrible and rivals Disneyworld prices. There is a good mix of thrill and simple rides. Would go again but pack a picnic.

My husband and I took our children ages 4 and 6 to Darien Lake May 17th-20th. We stayed 3 nights in the Standard Pioneer RV's. We really enjoyed the campground and park as did the kids. We did this with approx 7 other couples and their children. I thought there was a good selection of rides for the kids and... More

Our son had a great time on all of the rides. There is a good mix of "thrill" and "kiddie" rides. The food is horribly over priced but of decent quality. There are drying stations next to the rides where you get wet. That is a nice feature. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Just returned, we stayed 2 nights and attended a show. The Beaver Bros Cafe is awful, food & service is substandard at best for a premium price. Getting back to campground after a show is a ridiculous fiasco. Park employees and security encountered had terrible attitudes and the park is dirty for the most part. We didn't have small children... More

This past Victoria Day weekend I organized a trip to Darien Lake for four families. The children's ages are 8 - 15. We stayed in the Standard R.V.s which is as close to camping as I can get! We had a fabulous time! The theme park has something for every level of thrill seeker and the whole park is small... More

Our family has been to this park 3 times with our friends in the New York area. We are used to going to Cedar Point so there is no comparison there however for the area, this is a nice park. We used the water park once as well. The kids love the park and there are just enough rollar coaster... More

I remember coming here as a kid when it was just a small local amusement park. Then they built the water park and it just kept expanding from there. If you like thrill rides, then you'll like Darien Lake. They have it all.
