💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive early to enjoy short lines—typical wait times are 15 minutes or less, even for the biggest rides, making this much more efficient than larger theme parks like Hersheypark
- If camping at the resort, pack thoroughly and avoid the 20-minute trip to the nearest Walmart by preparing supplies in advance; the on-site campground store has essentials but planning ahead saves time
- Bring your own food to save money—outside food is permitted, and combined with reasonable on-site prices, visitors report spending around $100 for a full day for two people including rides and the $15 pool admission
- Don't skip the potato cakes—they're consistently highlighted as exceptional in reviews and are a signature food item worth trying during your visit
- Plan a family visit with mixed ages in mind—the park offers rides and attractions for all ages, plus a large swimming pool, kiddie areas, mini golf, and seasonal events like haunted houses, ensuring full-day entertainment for different age groups
