    Good but not 6 Flags...
    As many have said, go during the week. No lines to speak of.
    Many rides have minimum height restrictions, so a 3 yr old may be too short for all of the rides. Lots of rides for the kids and adults. All are 'mild' if you're comparing it to Six Flags, but enjoyable nonetheless. To access from the train station (arrived from Kyoto) - walk straight ahead, take the first right and its directly in front of you, about a 60 yd walk. Easy.
    I'd avoid the 'snack shop' across the Mouse / Log ride. Nothing good there. They have better food at the street down by the kiddie rides (go right from the entrance area). McDonalds and other choices.
    Purchase the Keihan Sightseeing Pass for Hirakata Park - all day rides on their railway + admission for 1,000Y (vs 1400Y). Also discount on the 'all access' pass (2700Y vs 3000Y). You can only exchange prepurchased vouchers at the Keihan Stations. To purchase the pass in Kyoto, you need to go to Kyoto Station, where its sold in about 4 places, but all in the same small area.

    To be natural
    It's a beautiful and nice park to visit. You'll be able to take a walk around Yamadaike pond and through forest around it. You'd better to go there If you want to be in natural.
    This is rather far from Hirakata station or city area of Hirakata, so it's a reason caused minus one.

    Great spot near the train station
    Perfect place to spend a rainy day. Looking around the bookstore is mesmerising, and there is a great bakery and dessert shops downstairs.

    Nice and tranquil weekdays.
    By train or by car kuzuha mall is simple to get to. Slightly out of osaka and kyoto, its a large mall with few people in it weekdays. Plenty of shops for everyone, cafes and restaurants. Theres a apple pie and spaghetti cafe downstairs is good to eat at. And 2nd or 3rd floor a nice cake and tea cafe to stop off and relax.
    Its completely wheelchair friendly and kids or baby friendly also, saw alot of changing rooms etc, at the bathrooms.

    Time trip to the water transport era
    Having decided to explore the North Kawachi region (Kuzuha, Hirakata and Katano) on my bike from the neighbouring prefecture, I found this interesting museum on Keihan Railway’s tourism information website (Okeihan net).

    After my sport drills and cycling, the Hirakata-shuku Kagiya museum welcomed me warmly. I felt getting refreshed after heavy physical activities.

    I learned history of pottery, water transport and accommodation there. The story of suppling ships “Kuwaranka hune” approaching passenger and goods ships attracting passengers and crew with playing comedies to sell their products was very interesting. Watching the video at the end of the first floor exhibition made other parrot and me laugh out a loud!

    The historical former town house is a hidden tourist attraction in Osaka and Kansai. I picked the right place to explore.

    Staff members were so nice too. Must to visit in the Kawachi region!

    Old shrine
    Katano shrine is an old shrine near Keihan Makino station. Its name was appeared in Engishiki, but the actual building is the construction of early Edo Period. As I went for Hatsumode, I had to wait in line for a long time. They offered a cup of Sake for Hatsumode visitors, and I also got it.
