In the woods, up a windy road, this 'human powered' amusement park is worth the drive. It's fun…read morefor children and adults alike. Just bring along your sense of adventure and fun!
The park opens at 10:30, and we arrived shortly after that, but the parking lot was almost already full, so come early. Parking is under the trees, nice on a hot summers day, and there are plenty of waste bins throughout the parking area for soda cans and the like. We brought along some bottled water and fruit for a quick snack between rides.
We visited in August when the restaurant was not open. A few people brought their own food and when we first arrived, there was a stack of cardboard on the bar that people were writing their names on and the number of people in their party - then they set these on a table to 'reserve' it for their lunch. The bar was open a little before lunch time and the line for drinks and fries, the only 'food' item we saw, was very, very long. I can not say what food was actually available, but check their website for restaurant times.
The park is in several sections, all under the trees. Directly behind the restaurant begins with trampoline, swings and slides of many sizes from small child to several stories up. All the rides take some man power. Many are easy, a few require a LOT of strength. To the side of the restaurant are a few more rides and play areas. Although there were many people in the park it never felt crowded and we hardly had to wait for any ride.
The largest slide requires a bit of rug beneath you to assist in the decent. I found the small rug samples provided would slip out from under and I got a bit of a friction burn on my arm trying to control the decent without the carpet. You get some speed on that slide. The one on the far left seems to be the fastest ride down! If you happen to have a small, narrow carpet you can bring for this ride I recommend you do so. Most of us 'lost' our carpet on the way down!
Some of the more adventurous rides required the assistance of a staff member and were not open during our visit. We spent about 2 hours in the park. It was a lot of fun and we adults felt like kids again. I was a bit sore the next day from using muscles I hadn't in a while, but it was all good fun and totally worth the trip!
