It was HOT day in July and Adventureland was pretty packed. My wife, daughter and I were from out of town (California) but we specifically went to Adventureland to meet up with family in Iowa. We all had a great time that day. The park was well-maintained, the food vendors had good service and the rides were a good mixture of ones for the kids and ones that teens and adults could also enjoy. There was one coaster in particular, Monster, that was very impressive. It was one of the best coasters I've ever been on (includes visits to 3 different Six Flags, Disney World, Disney Land and Universal). So if you are looking for a fun family experience and a park that is well set up and run well, I recommend Adventureland.

This is one of my favorite amusement parks to visit, kind of like visiting an old friend every time I come here. Since my last visit, the park has been sold to a small chain company of parks. I was a little nervous about this sale as previous sales of other parks have not gone well for those parks. So far, the new owners are doing a good job keeping things up and running and looking nice. The employees were very friendly, at least most of them were. The rides were running fairly well. It was sad to see some older favorite rides removed and replaced by newer ones that are less than thrilling and unique. Food prices have gone up dramatically, and the quality is not quite as good as before. The tables in one of the outdoor dining areas were very dirty, and the workers were just standing around, chatting and ignoring the need to clean them. One thing that surprised me is that this park adds tax to the parking charge. I do not think I know of another amusement park who does that. Minor inconveniences, but the rest of the day was a good one.

Buy tickets online to save $. Premium parking worth the price - online. Family friendly, clean, reasonably priced, rides for all ages and risk takers. Water park and lacy river are awesome. Adult beverages available for purchase too!

I have been looking forward to checking this park out for awhile and I'm so happy that I finally got to visit. I had so much fun. The coasters were all great, the newly renovated Underground was probably my favorite since I rode it more than once. I missed a few flat rides but I got a lot of photos since I walked around the park and saw a lot of signs that I loved. I was there with a group and we had the opportunity to have a history tour which was very helpful for someone like me that has never been there before but knew about some of the history of the coasters for example. It was a lot of fun, it was bigger than I expected. It has some live entertainment, I met the mascot, things like that makes a park really fun. I would recommend if you are in the area to spend a day here, I will certainly return if I return to that area and visit again.

Fun Amusement park and water park. Great day trip with the family. Travel and parking are easy. Wave pool area can get crowded. Good numbers of lockers available. Appreciate the friendly staff
