As locals, we get season passes and love it!!! Lots of rides for toddlers and babies too. Not a lot of rides for adults/older kids but there are a few. The water park is geared more towards the older kids and the amusement park is more for younger kiddos.
I think the only cons are you can’t bring your own food into the park and they close during the week as soon as school starts.

Great fun for the whole family. It's not a mega park that exhausts you. It's not a major bumper to bumper theme park drive or over crowded walking. Plenty of parking without being a long hike to get inside. Foods, gifts and entertainment available without having to pay to get inside. The amusement park had something for everyone. Wether a thrill seekers or little one, there was rides available. With the nearby hotels, The Warf and the beach, this is a nice family vacation destination.

This was not a bad experience. I do wish there was maybe more rides for the older kids. There is maybe 5 rides in total for the older kids. One was broke so we just did the four remaining ones, which as you can imagine is easy to do in an hour. But it isn't a bad experience. Food is not great so would not recommend. Maybe doing the water park makes it more entertaining.
