Much to do with the all-day pass.

Our teens did not want to leave. Unique and interesting for the whole family. You will get your money’s worth if you choose the all-day pass.

Worth the stop!

The mountain coaster was a blast! The kids did the challenge course and loved that too. We were too tired to do the other things but would love to go back there and try them out.
