    Lots to do!

    My granddaughter and I had a fantastic time at this park. We rode the train, the carousel, and gem mined before lunch. The gem mine is very exciting and the personnel are helpful to determine what gems/rocks you found. We found amethyst, amazonite, sodalite, green...More

    Great place to visit with kids

    Everything at the park is either free or very inexpensive. The grounds are kept very clean. Petting zoo, train, merry-go-round, playground, picnic area, mining area, water park, & lake offer a variety of activities for everyone in the family.

    I am not 100 percent sure, but I don't think you can. As for the swan or flamingo paddle boats, I have never seen any like that, all the paddle boats are the same, except for the color.
