We love the rides. I let my grandson choose one amusement park this trip. Because of a previous trip to different parks in Florida, he chose this one. The lines were much quicker than most parks we've been to. We enjoyed that walking from one area to another had animals and other things to see. The staff and customer service were very helpful. Overall, great experience.
