Fried oreos with powdered sugar

Retro fairgrounds in a sea of okay food overall. Very casual and fun. Some clothing and such for the more liberal or for the angsty teenager who may want to rebel or just feel cool such as clothing in a pink shirt that supports medicine that not everyone may agree with or only within certain conditions. I liked similar t-shirts when I was younger and still do but I am more picky about what I get. If one random shirt was placed randomly in a more typically conservative tourist store or one random person was placed in a random upscale neighborhood, I might just think they are a person or thing with different style rather than someone or something that appears to be typically working class. Including a guy relatives saw with tattoos all over and a tank top- I might not have assumed so and so was working class if in a poshier environment. In the end, you realize that you only know more when you get to know a person more. Food where salad and vegan options are particularly limited. Being in this world reminded me that there are other little "nibblets" of fun that I am not used to. It had me starting to miss my cell and computer laptop games. Currently 75 cents for a bathroom at the Pier and free near the arcade or I got lucky.

Tap to play games (some for points )

Came here with my daughter on our visit to Maine for the summer. We decided to get 2 booklets of 50 tickets for $70 which saves us a few bucks. Wish when we were there the large coaster wasn't closed but appreciated that they gave us warning at the ticket window.. The rides were great. My daughter had an amazing time! They had a slushy bar where you could mix like 15 flavors. If you brought a souvenir cup you could refill it for a certain price. They had rides like the wave, the slide, the teacups, a roller coaster, the pirate ship, Ferris wheel and a huge spinning round one that rocked back and forth. The arcade was full of so many games! And at the end we cashed in tickets for some pretty cool gifts. We even had a stranger give us their card with a couple hundred points to add to ours! They had food located on the outskirts of it and there was this cute ice cream spot across the park. The restrooms are also located across the street We have a Playland in NY and it was nice to see the comparison. It was also ironic we this one is located in Old Orchard Beach when we too have an orchard beach area in NY. It is also the only amusement park in the NE located on a boardwalk. The beach is located right next to it (attached practically) and we paid for parking in the area. Definitely worth the time and memories

50 CENTS TO USE THE BATHROOM??? And its across the street??!! Just a heads up! A boardwalk on a pier with rides? Sounds like what coastal dreams are made of BUT... not here. I asked my husband is this what the Jersey shore is like or worse? It's not that it was dirty as in unkept but the patrons! Trashy. Drug addicts. We had 2 kids old enough to ride the big rides and I found it pricey to get them on three rides a piece but we had an infant with us so it would have been a waste to get a band as we had to keep a bed time. I stood in line with the kids for the rollercoaster and I didn't like the type of patrons that were surrounding us. I first hand got to watch why the process was so slow with the ride. First off- why have an employee standing at the entrance of the coaster as opposed to at the entrance of the line to measure kids? After waiting a half hour in line you tell people they are too short? What a waste of time and efficiency for PP's customer service. Also, she just didn't have all her marbles. She was extremely slow letting people on the ride and didn't help the guy who was actually running the ride at all. The guy running the ride took his sweet time as well. You have this line and it takes you probably 8 minutes to get people on and off between runs. It was very inefficient. There were a few rides closed- not sure why. Did the kids like it? Yes. Was it cool I got to see where my parents took me as a kid? Yes. Was it sad and disappointing? Yes. Is there potential? Yes. Head home before dark.

Rides were fun, arcade was fun. Sunday night was way less busy than Saturday. My kids had a great time and so did I. Things to improve: cleanliness, otherwise it was a good time.

Sun Sand Amusements and Beach Food! Grew up going here with friends and my dad and have fond memories with my family. Lisa's Pizza, Fried Dough, Clam Cakes, ice cream, rides, fireworks. Over the years they have put money into clean up and keep it going which is nice. The salt air and winter can do a number to the buildings and grounds. The rides are pricey so I remind myself it is about the memories and just bite the bullet. My girls love to ride. Between the beach, food, and rides they are pretty happy campers. There are a variety of parking lots and parking along the railroad tracks. However, they have also blocked access to the beach so that you need to walk all the way down and enter mainly through the center. There is a fresh water spout for rinsing toes near the carousel. You can stay at any of the hotel/motels but many of them can have a min number of nights to stay. There are also places you can rent by the week or campgrounds with beach shuttles.

The muse for a tattoo thanks to Palace Playland....

Where do I begin.... The rides are way overpriced, dangerous, and the staff is RUDE!!! Went on the coaster. And felt like I should have said my final goodbyes to friends/family. Rusted, rickety, and the "safety" bar didn't even lock in place. Went to the carousel where my cousin and I were asked our weight, and proceeded to be shown a sign of the weight limit. While I'm not the thinnest person in the world, there's a gentler approach. Especially when you see two people twice your size walk off the carousel..... DO NOT GO!!! About to go get a tattoo that says "wide load". Thanks Palace Playland!!!

Rip off they hate far people no refund after making my kids feel like overweight pos

The manager of Playand Palace telling me I could expect my full refund in 3-5 days. But not attesting to such fact after cutting off the bracelets of my two children ages 11 and 14 because they were overweight to ride at 150lbs!!!! Don't come hear if you expect to be treated with respect even if you may be on the heavier side. I'f you expect to be gaslit into submission by all means patron this shit hole!! I left in tears after the treatment my family received after waiting all day for Playland Palace to open.

Definitely has a carnival vibe, but rides are fun and it's right near a beach. Prices are STEEP!

Our kids had a blast here! This had an old-timey amusement-park feel but very clean & well-kept.

Ask the Community - Palace Playland

Do you need to buy tickets for admission? Or do you get to roam around and only need tickets for rides? Thank you for your response!

You only need tickets for the ride. The cool thing is if you didn't know this, you can just get an all day ride wrist band. But if you just want tickets, you just need tickets for the rides.

We LOVE YORK ZOO! Again - remember we are in Maine and not the San Diego Zoo or Bronx Zoo- so be…read morekind. Perfect for families and kids! This is a fun amusement park with rides for small children like going to a carnival- they have bumper carts and go carts. They have camel and pony rides for extra costs too! Upon entry we were a little confused as to where the action was, after speaking with the Butterfly lady we headed past the wetlands of ducks- we made it to the coolest part of the zoo! The MAINE attractions include monkeys, sloths, ostriches, reindeers, ravens, foxes, Kookaburras, zebras, lemurs, deer, geese, large blue pigeon, owls, Asian otter, Ankole cattle, chickens, goats, ducks, alligators, kangaroos, prairie dogs, and a lioness and tiger!! They have a butterfly kingdom filled with lovely plants and butterflies and a reptile area filled with tarantulas, snakes, frogs. Our favorite parts were feeding the birds for $2.50! What a fun experience! The birds were so friendly and loved eating from the popsicle stick with seeds! Then we were able to feed the goats, deer and ducks! The baby deer was SO CUTE and the animals are adorable and come right up to you. We were OVERJOYED that we had the ENTIRE zoo to ourselves cause it was raining but the monkeys were still going wild and howling! It was so much fun! Also Moxie is my favorite animal- she is three years old and is a beautiful Tiger. She sat right in front of us and was majestic to appreciate- she is a calm tiger. All the animals are taken care for and we are so glad we made the stop today! It was $18 per person and honestly had a blast. Great for visiting in the summer and early September as they close September 21! Next year they will have a Capybara! We also stopped by the gift shop and got some eco friendly Tiger and Giraffe totes for $5! Very affordable place perfect for young families and fun for children. Please come and support this zoo and amusement pa

We bought our tickets online making it easy to enter the park. As you come up to the entrance, to the right are the rides, snack bar and restrooms. We grabbed a snack before heading in, but you can bring your lunch if you want. There is a pretty clear trail to follow. The butterfly exhibit was wonderful, our kids loved hours the butterflies were flying around freely. Bird exhibit was fun and watch out for the goats of you go into the fenced area to feed them. They will overwhelm you as they know you have the food. A fun experience, especially for the little ones. They've do have a lioness and a tiger. We liked looking at the Texas longhorns. Those horns were over six feet long. Interesting to see. They do have another snack bar inside the zoo area if you decide to take a break there. They had camel and pony rides which the kids loved. A nice day visit for the family.
