Have not been here in ages and it was nice to walk around and see all the old rides. Along with some new attractions and the park has definitely been renovated a bit since I was last here. Nice views of the water along the boardwalk. A very cool old-school retro feel, like America and apple pie days of the past. The park's grounds are well maintained. As some mentioned there were rides which were not open but hopefully this summer all will be operational as it's a nice day trip to have some fun. It's a very family friendly place and good for the kiddies. Food is available but it's basically carnival eats - pizza, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, fries, chicken fingers - which is as expected. You come here to enjoy not worry about your diet. Hopefully the new ownership who took it over will have everything up and running this season. read more

It's definitely an experience. Parking was easy breezy since there are plenty, and most likely because the amusement park was barely packed. Admission is free, and rides were free for my 23 month old son, he had just made the 36" mark to ride. We only brought one $15 adult ticket for rides since someone had to watch our new baby . Like most reviewers mentioned, there are quite a few rides that were closed, probably around 1/4 of the rides were not operating on a Saturday! Fortunately, there was minimal waiting for rides. 2-5 minutes max, or no wait at all! The rides are not in the best conditions. We spent most of our time at the kiddie section. I went on the submarine ride with my son and ride suddenly stopped at the top as it was half way through. The jolt (when the ride stopped) was so big that my back spine slammed into the seat. It was painful and quite scary for myself. I asked the operator about what had just happened on my way out, and he said it happens often!! Horror!! Your food options are extremely limited. Pizza ( cheese or pepperoni), chicken fingers, fries, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, and pretzels. I may be missing a few! I was in shock to learn a bottle of purified water would cost $4.50, so pack your own water to stay hydrated!! read more

Rye, NY - a caveat that this is a pre-full season opening review. I'm told by the park staff that Playland hopes/expects to be fully up and running by July 4th weekend. We went on Father's Day and at least half the rides weren't open yet, including most of the rides for older kids like the roller coasters. This wasn't an issue for us since we came here with our toddler and most of the kiddie rides were open, so it was definitely a 5-star experience for him lol. If you have younger children, this is a great time to go before it gets crowded for the summer (there were hardly any lines or wait for any rides when we went, so it was awesome!). But if your kids are older you might want to wait until the other rides are operating. Parking is $10. Admission is $15 for unlimited ride-all-day wristband (including the arcade! That alone is worth the price of admission for me to just play Halo and Fast & Furious haha). Located along the Long Island Sound, Playland Park opened in 1928 so it's almost a century old. Not only is it an iconic amusement park, but personally, I absolutely adore the vintage charm and seaside nostalgia of the place: the art deco style and design, the central landscaped mall with columned walkways on either side, the boardwalk, color scheme, everything! I could almost feel the spirit and atmosphere of that era, the 1920s & 30s being some of my favorite decades aesthetically. Flappers! Jazz! Gatsby! It's like walking into a vintage postcard, with many picturesque photo op backdrops for the creative photographer. It's much nicer than Luna Park at Coney Island. There were great tunes piped throughout the park, so kudos to whoever managed the playlist! Be advised they don't allow outside food & snacks, though they did let us bring our kid's juice. Given there weren't that many food options, and we try to do healthier snacks, that was kind of annoying as they check your bags and didn't even let us carry in tangerines and string cheese. But you can leave, eat, and re-enter. Regardless, our child had the best time, I ga-ga'ed at the retro vibes, and we made great memories. It's simply beautiful to just walk around. The park connects to the Edith Read Wildlife Sanctuary which has trails for hiking. We wanted to do the 1 mile loop trail but ran out of time. So for our expectations and interests this was 5 stars. Your mileage may vary. The Westchester Children's Museum is also in the same complex, and the Playland Beach & Pool will be open daily from late June through Labor Day. Separate admission for those places. You can definitely have a fun, full day here! read more

We visited Rye Playland pool on Saturday, Aug 9 around 2:30 PM. Parking was straightforward and we bought our pool tickets online, which easily transferred to our digital wallet. We brought a wagon and cooler, only to be told at the entrance that wagons, coolers, and outside food aren't allowed, so my husband had to haul the wagon back to the car. Inside, the space looked nice--clean and not overcrowded. There were plenty of families and kids, and we were able to grab a first-come chair and settle in. The wristbands scanned smoothly, and the upstairs area was pleasant. The downsides started early and persisted: there were frequent whistles for even small actions, like a child grabbing a parent's neck or a quick jump from the edge. Floaties and foam toys weren't allowed, which felt limiting for kids who just want to splash around. Every hour, five lifeguards led a safety check that paused activities for about 10 minutes. While safety is important, the interruptions made it feel less relaxed. We ended up spending $51 with parking, which isn't terrible for a family outing, but the constant restrictions and noise of the whistles dampened the fun. This probably isn't the best choice for families with small kids who want to unwind; it might be nicer for adults or older kids who can handle stricter rules. If they loosen a few rules and improve signage about permitted items, it could be a better balance. Suggestions for management: Clarify what you can and can't bring (wagons, coolers, toys) in advance. Create a kid-friendly zone with a few allowable toys and more space to play. Soften the whistle/discipline rhythm or offer warning periods to avoid constant interruptions. Consider more flexible options for families while maintaining safety. read more

Mini park, boardwalk and beach, amusement park, restaurants, ice rink and more... though it may not open the amusement park in 2025 due to budget concerns. Also watch the speed traps on the way in, saw a few people get ticketed. $20 to park between Memorial and Labor days. Big lots. Otherwise open to the public to walk around the beach/parking but amusement park looks a little desolate. read more

My nephew came down with my sister Fourth of July I wanted to initiate him into going to Playland. It's a big nostalgia for everyone in the family we've been coming for 40 plus years. Came early the definitely had parking situated before the crowds. Line was long for tickets and thankful a new window opened right when i Got here i got to beat the line. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that majority of the park was disassembled. All adults rides minus a handful and the rest was just the basic kiddie rides. I'm glad i came early because my nephew was able to get on rides without the crowds. We had Nathan's from the food truck. Very slim picking for food options by this time park started filling up with that rachet young crowd smoking weed in front of the kids no respect. Leaving took forever just wasn't worth the headache but we kept the memories alive. read more

I like this place I've taken my kids here twice. Our first trip we did both meaning we did the amusement park then went for a swim. I really can't recall the first time because it was over 2 years but I do remember the food was the only downside it wasn't that good very bland and expensive. On this second occasion which was yesterday was a pleasant experience this time we only did the swimming experience and we did the beach and pool combo which remind you that this is a bay and not the actual ocean so with that said of course the water was calmer but wasn't that clean so we only spent minimal time there. Now on to the pool section which was nice because they had a kiddo swimming area with nice sprinklers and a decent size shallow pool and they also provide life vests for the kids. Then off to the adult pool which only went to 5 ft. And I'm only giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 because one of the lifeguards hit me by accident with the cord of his lifeguard equipment he did apologize tho once I brought it to his attention. Otherwise everything else is pretty clean the pool water and it's a decent size pool for everyone of all ages!! Pricing is reasonable too we paid $65 for 5 people for the beach and pool combo wristbands that last all day plus $10 for parking so that's $75 for a day of fun for five people. Last side note yes you can bring your own food and drinks just no alcohol allowed. read more

Came here for the season kids Halloween thing. Brought back memories of camp outings here as a kid. Line was pretty fast getting in. Price was reasonably and, tbh, I prefer kid rides to "thrill rides" for adults. It was a morning well spent, and my son had a lot of fun, especially on the kid coaster and with the face painting. Playland is a no-frills classic, and a little saner than Coney Island. read more

So the bottom line is this, it's a place you go to once a summer. Playland's been there for 1 million years. In the Park shows that. It's a lot of original rides and some new ones. The original rides really need a lot of love and care. The Dragon coaster, which is the main event, really needs to be sanded and painted. Generally speaking, they could easily spend $5 million upgrading the older rides. We went Tuesday at 6 PM and the Park was 80% empty so we didn't wait on any lines. If you go during prime time, expect to wait up to 20 minutes for a ride. That really cuts down on how many rides you're going to go to. If you decide to go on the water ride to get extremely. The staff are interesting. They appear to be mostly high school kids and 20 yr olds. Some of them are more invested in their job responsibilities than others. Lines ***** Parking $$$ Admission $$ Food $$$ Fun *** read more

Playland was very fun this summer. I love the beach and the pool it wasn't too crowded and very clean. Only half of the rides were open but it wasn't their fault... I believe that plans with the developers fell through.. they said that they'll fix it next year. We have fun every year at Playland and next year will be great too. I highly recommend. read more

Playland Park - One of the rides - Amusement Parks Near Me - Rye, New York

Awful. Soooo disappointed. Only about 8 kiddy rides. There is a height requirement if you are over 5'5, you can't go on rides with your child. $10 parking, $15 wristbands for rides. Free admission. Fully staffed. Many rides not in there designated area, however there is staff where it should be. I will never return. Playland shouldn't have opened this year. I hope you do better next year. read more

I gave it 2 stars but 2.5 would be closer to my review. It's a small park located in west Chester NY. The rides are a bit on the older side but still not bad considering. It's 20 a person and 10 for parking on weekdays which overall is a great price. The reason for the low rating is the age of the park, the size of the park, but more importantly their guests. Expects large groups on every ride and expect them to "save spots" turning a 10 min wait to a 20-30 min wait. It consistently happens. Otherwise....if you're in the area check it out...it's something to do. read more

Playland Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Rye, New York

This amusement park has been a childhood favorite of mine. Bringing my family felt special until our recent trip there. For $40 a wristband i rather go to six flags. I say this because they only had about 6 rides open on the adult side. My teenagers were bored after riding the same 6 rides over and over again. Then they removed the spectator pass, which is ridiculous because with my knee injury and my mother walking with a cane we both didn't want to get on rides. Then someone's kid got stuck on a ride so that one had to shut down as well. The food and drinks are over priced for limited service available at the park. $10 a soda. I will definitely not return unfortunately. read more

Love rye playland. I bought the season passes this year which is so worth it. Beach, pool, paddle boats, amusement park and parking free with the passes. Again so worth it!! Beach is clean, have yet to see it crowded. They have the inflatable slide on the beach you pay $5 and can have unlimited rides on it. Another kid favorite! Adults too!! Pool is updated and clean, they provide life jackets for kids if needed. The bathrooms and showers are also very clean. The splash pad is super cute and the Kids love it. The amusement park hasn't changed much but it's always a good time. The fireworks on Friday and Saturday at 9pm is simply beautiful, they do a really nice job. Boardwalk is always clean .. tiki bar at the end is awesome, great drinks, yummy food and beautiful views. Very friendly staff at the tiki bar. On that note Some of the workers typically the ones who sit behind the pool/beach ticket area can be more friendly. If you ask a question it seems your bothering them. A smile and a "have a nice day" goes a long way. But all in all I enjoy every-time I go. read more

remembering going as a teenager over 20 years ago and having a blast. recently took my son for his 8th birthday. Over a third of the rides were closed even though I was charged full price. Staff was all young and unprofessional. I'm guessing if i do revisit it will be in another 20 years if i live that long. read more

Literally no point in going here. majority of all the rides are closed. Due to "inspection & safety" only 5 of 21 of the big kid rides are open. after a while you been on all the rides it's Boring, pointless and a waste of money. You're best bet is to go to Dorney Park, Six Flags, adventure land or dream works. Hell anywhere else would be better than playland lol. I enjoyed my time for the whole 20 minutes. but my Best advice wait till next year for all the rides to come out so the whole family can enjoy their time, just take you're kiddies here or just settle for having to go on every ride thrice Maybe 4 times to get the full adventure park experience read more

Scary and not in a fun house kind of way. Made my child stand in pouring rain for over an hour for an interview, then inside the county center with no place to sit and zero direction whatsoever. Then forced them to take a drug test with a very rude woman watching, scaring them instead of being kind in an awkward situation. EIGHT HOURS later sent her home with a "you're perfect for the job" but NEVER contacted her at all. Wasted an entire day. Seriously? Eight hours for what? Get it together Playland. If this is your summer hiring process, maybe don't bother opening read more

Rye Playland is under new management, and looks like they may file bankruptcy. I just took my family today, and literally 90% of the rides were closed. This was not disclosed ahead of time, so after entering and realizing nothing was working, I tried to get my money back, but they refused, saying all sales are final. I am disputing the charge with my bank, and will never return. Beyond disappointing. read more

I attended on opening day and want to give a special shoutout to employees Deja (Convoy Train) and Miguel (Slime Buckets) for going above and beyond with their customer service. They truly deserve recognition for their exceptional work. read more

I went with my family of 7 today (July 4th). I've been coming to rye playland since I was a child. TODAY has to be the most horrible experience I ever had. For starters they didnt state how many rides would be close. All the big rides that people come for were closed. NO WATER RIDES NO ROLLER COSTER! There were literally 6 rides open. When I asked the employees if they were opening nobody had an answer. The wrist bands were 15 dollars however everyone should've been refunded due to lack of information on the website. read more

I'm only giving Playland a 3 star today because of the renovation of the pool, beach and other places around the park. Also because many rides were not in service at the time of my arrival and it was not displayed online or at the ticket counter showing what rides wouldn't be working for the day. The kids of course has a good time. Tried to find water in different locations for less than $4 but nope it's $4 EVERYWHERE in the park. Pizza is the cheapest option for food. $4.75 for a slice and Funnel cake is $5.75 it was very good! They also took out some rides that I was familiar with and added different rides. Some of which were not in service. read more

Playland is a Great Charming nostalgia Amusement Park. Great rides for kids. But the Staff is sad and Unmotivated. From the ticket booths to the Ride operators. They look at families like they are not welcome or not happy to see us. Some claim rides are closed where they just seem lazy to operate it. Their needs to be a "Happy" training or Guest representation class, cause Playland is a Happy place for families. And dealing with their staff feels unwelcoming. read more

Beach odds open at 50 % capacity. Parking fees ($10) still apply and so does admission (additional only for beach access) Beautiful, clean for the most part and was able to enjoy a fairly empty beach on a weekday.

As much fun as my children and family had at this park tonight, the lack of rides that were closed and the unhelpful employees was out of a horror story! This park isn't cheap, and even the little kids park with the employees who refused to run rides because they were to busy having conversations... come on playland, it is a place for everyone to have fun! Wouldn't spend money to go again... questionable if this place is going under! read more

FOR MANAGEMENT!! Your systems need to improve! I've been going to Rye Playland since I was a child. I know it's an older park, old rides, nothing compared to Six Flags but it's a good one day get away for kids. The staff seems to not care and something always goes wrong, or they run out, or send you to the wrong place every time I go. It's getting worse! This summer, 2024, I went on Catch a Wave and yes the conductor mentioned take off loose items hats, etc. he said it once everyone was buckled in and ride about to go! A few people said is it ok to leave hats on floor he said yes. Some dropped caps on floor away from ride. The ride blew everything over into a small area in front. After the ride we went to get our stuff and the conductor said we're not allowed. He does this all the time and I'm sure knew that would happen. A group of us had to walk to services at the entrance! Fill out a report! The young girl reviewed our form and said someone will get back to you in a few days! We all said, we're not from here, our stuff is a few inches behind the gate do you have a poll or our kids can go over. They said no. We went back demanding to get our stuff we see right in front of us and refuse to leave it. Finally 45 minutes later a smaller worker went over and got it. The workers all had "smirks" on their faces, which made you angrier for your stuff. I think it's a scam cause they want the nice expensive Yankees hats. One dad said his hat was expensive and it was nice! The system of telling people we'll get back to you in your "lost" item when it's right in front of them is ridiculous. Ride operators should have long retrieval sticks if they know that happens.. and this operator clearly knew that was going to happen! On another day, the hot dog truck told us they ran out of hotdogs in the middle of afternoon and we can get hotdogs at the pizza stand across the park. OF COURSE when we get there they say we don't serve hotdogs!! Then we walked back to go to another truck and within that travel time of back and forth.. they were serving hotdogs again. You need a lot of patience in this place. read more

Review Number 500! This was my second visit to the Rye; my first visit was 20 or 21 years ago, so I only vaguely remembered the place. It's a simple park, along the lines of a Coney Island, but without The Cyclone, or the nostalgia. My group arrived 3PM-- the park was pretty filled, as was the parking lot ($15 bucks to park). When we made our way to purchase tickets, the lines were pretty long. On the day I went, it was First Responders Day-entry was $20 for everybody, all day. However, as I saw on their website, if you want to enter the park, but not ride, they charge a spectators fee of $15. Many of the lines had extremely long lines and I'm not a fan of roller coasters. So I spent a lot of time spectating. I did the Bumper Cars, Music Express and another ride, I believe was called 2000. The wait for the bumper cars was almost an hour- typical bumper car experience. The music express I didn't want to get on after watching, but I was peer pressured. The ride was a bit much for me and hurt my neck because the heavier person has to be on the outside of the ride and spends the entire time leaning on you. This ride was a huge hit for my daughter and my friends kids as well- but too much for me. Lastly, the 2000 ride- it's like a space shuttle, so to speak. I was a fan of this ride. Food options here are Popeyes, Nathan's and Smash N Shake. My daughter wanted Popeyes, but that, had an extremely long line. (There's a recent craze for their chicken sandwiches--this location doesn't sell). Smash and Shake had a short line and an excellent burger. All and all, the kids had a ball here; however, I don't believe it worth the long drive up here. I could have had an almost similar experience in a Six Flags or maybe even Coney Island. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. I have gone to playland for over 30 years at least once per year. Sure it gets crowded on the weekend. But it's always been organized. Went last weekend and it was a DISASTER! I reached out to playland management and westchester county parks. 1) the lines were about 2 hours long. Why? They were only loading at about 50%, maybe less. 2) staff was very unprofessional. One staff member on the carousel (pictured below) screamed in my moms face and then stood in front of my 4 year old telling her she is f-ing stupid for not putting her seatbelt on correctly. She screamed at all of the kids before te ride. Wow. Makes them want to have fun, right? 3) on the website it says no outside door or drink. Had to wait over an hour to get food and drink. Meanwhile, most people had things they brought in. 4) what is the point in having the bracelets if you have to scan them for each ride?? Just takes up more time. 5) lots of gun and knife presence. But no police presence!! Lots of people physically fighting. People smoking weed around the food. Open containers of alcohol that were not sold at playland. Sorry to say but this place needs to shut down. Truly dirty. Attached is the photo of the staff member who owes my family an apology. We will not accept it but she owes it to us for the quality she spoke to my mother and my daughter. read more

Playland Park - This is the staff member on the kiddie land that screamed and cursed at my mom and 4 year old. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Rye, New York

I have fond memories of Playland as a child, but returning today with my own children was a huge disappointment. At least 60% of the rides are under construction, in repair, or simply not open. Large tarps cover sections of the park with no signs to indicate how to get to the following open section or what areas to avoid. Most food vendors were closed. The rides that were open were aged and had clear signs of wear, peeling paint, and even scraps of garbage inside of the rides (not the seats, the actual rides). This would all be somewhat ok if consumers had notice of the widespread construction, etc when buying tickets on the site. No such luck. Next time, we'd be better off going to Legoland in Goshen, or really, anywhere else. Steer clear. read more

This place brings back childhood memories. The good thing is that it's relatively clean. It's not too busy. The bad thing is that some rides are being repaired. A lot of food places are under construction. On a plus note, the bathrooms are very clean which is amazing for amusement park. The portions are small for the food, and pricey. But what can I do. read more

Big disappointment today. Looked at online reviews and thought that Playland had been upgraded. What I found was definitely what was in the pictures. More than half the rides in the kids play area were not open. Kids roller coaster just one loop. Arcade was the same old games they have always had, nothing new here. A lot of money for a poor experience. Save your money read more

Let me start with this- Playland has a LOT of sentimental value for me. Growing up, my parents would bring me almost every weekend. We'd BBQ in the picnic area starting EARLY as back in those days, it was first come first serve. We'd then spend the entire day in the park and would be exhausted, but had a great time. Fast forward to 2023- my first time back in 10+ years. Once nice change is that you now have to rent the picnic area. I think this is a great idea to keep the small arguments that many families would have over tables at bay. BUT- $215+ for 10 tables and a double grill. That's a bit steep. Factor this in with $40 tickets to go on rides, $5 per game, and $20 parking. You're already $280 in the hole and haven't even purchased food and supplies yet. Now, I called a few times and the people I spoke to were nice, but gave me the wrong info. If I knew there was a cheaper "spectator" band to get into the park without going on rides, I'd have purchased a few of those for the parties that wanted to play games and walk around but not get on rides. So I'd say I overspent on bands as well by at least....$120? Fine- I get it. Inflation. BUT- nowhere in my communications w/ anyone was I told that basically half of the adult rides are currently under "funstruction." That's beyond frustrating when you've already spent a ton of time, effort, and money and you get there and barely anything is open for adults. This also included the paddleboats and I don't know if they even have a guided boat tour anymore like they used to. Playland used to be great for families to go to and not spend an arm and a leg- that was a major part of the appeal. But now everything seems like a money grab. You'd think that for the price, they'd at least have soap and paper towels in the bathroom. Overall notes for anyone considering going and for Playland management in general to hopefully get better: 1. The picnic area is definitely sufficient. Bring a tent for some shade and protection from the rain. It's a bit pricey, but you can have up to 60 people, so if you charge them all a sufficient amount, you can make your money back. 2. Bring your own TP and hand soap. The bathrooms are not taken care of. 3. Buy a spectator band for those who aren't into rides or the costs are going to add up QUICK. 4. Realize that many of the rides this season are closed. Plan ahead and know that if you're going for the appeal of an amusement park, it' s not really there anymore. 5. For management- sell packages! If you're paying so much to rent 10 tables, park, etc, offer a package that includes parking, tickets, games, etc. Make it worth the visit. Playland will always hold a special place in my heart, but as far as BBQ's there are concerned, unless the issues are addressed, this will be the last. read more

Rye Playland is celebrating their 90th anniversary this year and I can see why. Yes this is definitely not Disney or not even Six Flags but it's still a good time. Playland is still reminiscent of simpler times. Their biggest rides are the Dragon Coaster and Super Flight Steel but there are plenty of simple rides to enjoy. From Crazy Mouse to the log flume to the mirror maze and splash down my kids had a blast. Since it's such a simple park lines are much more manageable and most rides my kids were able to just walk right on to. Prices are steep here so check their website for discounts. We went on $15 night. Unlimited rides for $15 ($10 for spectators). Why only 3 stars? Absolutely every employee here was completely miserable. There are plenty of food options in the park (Nathan's, Popeye's, pizza and more) but they are all severely overpriced. On top of already high admission they charge $10 parking. I feel like small amusement parks like this shouldn't really charge for parking unless space is at a premium. Even with the few negatives still a good time. Don't go in with high expectations and you won't be disappointed. I had great memories coming here as a kid with my family and hopefully my kids will have the same. read more

Adding to my review. I certainly do not fault the young men and women working there. It's probably their first summer job. With that said, it is imperative that these young men and women get Proper Training!! What she they be trained to do? Move along a lot quicker. Get the people off quick but mainly take charge and load a lot quicker!!! Please, stop all the chitter chatter that delays the rides. The music express will run about three times in one hour. Shame on Playland, Westchester County, and the Town of Rye, that you all allow this once Great Park to turn into a nightmare! These young men and women have taken the initiative to work, you all have failed them to become better people for the work they do. You may need a few adults to work the rides or supervise. It's the least you can do. read more

Went on 4th of July, busy but good, excepted the staff training, staff don't really care about kids sneaking and cutting line. You will feel like there is no help from the staff, not a good team management at all.. otherwise it s pretty good and fun P.S. there is a group of kids paying cash to staff , so they can cut the line and walk-in through the exit.. never seen this before in America.. read more

Playland Park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Rye, New York

I enjoyed Playland as a child and as a young mom. It's now been about 15 year since I been there and it's cost a lot more to enter park. It still a fun place to go and I would go again, For the the kids If you are not getting in a any rides, the "spectators" have to pay $ to enter park as well. It's about $48 to $64 per junior less than 48 inches to adult per person to get on rides For the cost $$$ it's not worth for the overall condition of the park. Needs updating and All rides need to be working We experienced 1/2 of the rides were not even working. In addition The parking is RIDICULOUS $20 per car there are no Senior discounts. Enjoy ... Be ready to spend $$$ read more

Playland needs a bit of love. The simple pricing for bracelets is probably the most appealing aspect of the place. The rides are traditional, the space is well laid out, and the overall cost is probably the biggest draw. That being said, it needs some major updating to infrastructure, including the rides themselves. The duration of each ride seems to be really short, but the lines for rides are exceedingly long. There doesn't seem to be anything in place to mitigate huge lines and bottlenecking of some areas with several rides. It'd be great if there was a big renovation ahead of 2023, as the location is perfect. read more

This rating is for the gift shop. Ladies were lovely, prices were ridiculous. Totally outrageous. I am a die hard Playland fan, been going since a kid and even worked there as a teenager.
