- Barb H9 contributionsAs a coaster enthusiast I was blown away by this park! There was so much to do in one day but we managed to get on most of the bigger coasters. I would definitely love to come back and enjoy everything we missed. We only have one day to come to the park on Mothers day. It was a very memorable experience. I was glad I purchased the express passes to reduce line time however I was very let down that TT2 was closed which I had paid extra for in my express pass. Gemini was also unavailable that day and Valrvn had many break downs unfortunately. Guest services told me we could always come back another day except I explained to her that we flew in from Las Vegas for this experience so we don't have the luxury of just coming back within the year. They could have at least offered to give us some food/drink passes to make up for the money I wasted up grading my express pass for a ride that was not available to me. Food and drink at the park was very pricey for what we were given. I think I paid over $20 for 3 tiny pieces of beef that was very dry.
We did pay for the photo package to capture all our fun pics and that was totally worth it. The people at the booths were very helpful when getting your pics centered just right also. Sometimes they don't come out correctly on the kiosk but they can crop them for you if you ask.Written May 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Due to the new chaperone policy, I had to stay in the park. I wasn’t going to tag along with them, or ride the rides by myself, so I needed a shady place to hang out. I pre-purchased access to the VIP lounge for $39. I’m glad I did, but probably wouldn’t do it again.
First off, this lounge is open air. If it was HOT, it wouldn’t have been a good choice, but due to the 70 degree weather it was perfect. The attendant at the Lounge quickly learned my name and was super helpful. They offered free water and potato chips. There were couches to stretch out on and tables/chairs if one wanted to do work, or bring in their meal. On our way out of the park, I found a huge air conditioned Starbucks that could be used to get away from the sun/heat for next time instead. The lounge is just too expensive and doesn’t offer air conditioning.
We pre-purchased the Premium Dining plan because it came with drinks. The biggest disappointment about this plan is that (from what I found) you have to know exactly what food is available before you order it. There aren’t any signs, and the workers aren’t sure. There is a listing of the premium plan food options on the website in the FAQ page? I couldn’t find it in the app. So we took screen shots of the page so we knew what we could order. The Premium Plan is VERY limited! Only a couple things per restaurant. And you can only use it every 90 minutes. You needed to be strategic about using it. It was nice not having to carry around a credit card….since the cashiers just scanned our bracelets, but I wouldn’t purchase this again.Written August 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this place, but you can find something like this in almost any city in the US.
The one different wrinkle is there is a roller skating rink, which are almost extinct these days. They do have some decent combo deals. We did a deal that included unlimited roller skating, bounce house, mini golf, and a 4d ride for $23.
We also did the arcade and they were pretty generous with their prizes based on tickets won. The mini golf was terrible. Nine holes, dark inside the course and hard to find the holes.
Kids were too young to do the haunted house. They have an indoor one that looks permanent and an outdoor one that appears to be seasonal for Halloween.
Kids, ages 7 and 10, had a good time, so if you are looking for something indoors to do in Sandusky, then give this place a try.Written October 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- crowe525Cuyahoga Falls, OH87 contributionsWent with my wife and 3 kids who are between 6 and 10. All of the kids had a great time. The couple rides they had were fun and kept the kids entertained. The 4D movies are fun too and they show 4 of them rotating so you can see them all as admission is included with your ticket purchase.
The food prices were surprisingly affordable and worth getting a cup of coffee or a snack for the kids. The staff was very friendly and I would go again.Written June 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We arrived when it opened as it does get crowded. Most everything was open.Written July 26, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TYPSUKRArlington, VA729 contributionsCame here for mini-golf on a Sunday evening in early August. We did the "dinosaur course", which featured some animatronic dinosaurs, and interesting fun facts about them. The course itself was pretty routine, but it was the setting and environment that made it fun. Mini golf admission got you a wrist band that you could use for unlimited games that day, including a second adjacent course (pirate themed). We even saw a little bunny rabbit join us while golfing.Written September 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- June1 contributionAs I said in my childhood was a nice little amusement park it is family owned like old Coney Island in Cincinnati used to be what I was growing up. Very family orientedWritten September 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 898tarensSandusky,9 contributionsMy grandkids and I have been here multiple times. The kids like the arcade, smaller ones like the bouncy houses and jungle gym area. Some skate a while, little kids can bring in their own scooters (non-Motorized of course) and we usually spend a couple of hours there each time. They do have snack/food area which is nice. you can bring in your own stuff tho.Written March 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Porthos7West Chester, OH8,434 contributionsAs small as this place is, it packs a wallop of entertainment and old school nostalgic amusement for ALL ages! Went with my girlfriend (we're both 50+), and we had a COMPLETE BLAST! VERY reasonable prices on EVERYTHING for an afternoon of fun! Doesn't matter your age, you'll have a great time. Mostly handicap accessible, and you'll WANT to spend a couple hours there! PLUS-oldest running roller coaster at it's original place in the country! Go have a GREAT time!Written September 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tim WYoungstown, OH63 contributionsIt was a delightful experience in spite of the cold air! The Fort Steuben Park was beautifully decorated with enchanting lighted displays, secondary character images and of course a significant number of nutcrackers. The vendors in the park offered unique items, which several of us in our group of 8 bought. The nutcrackers lining the various streets and downtown sites were imaginative and well-done.Written December 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rebecca C1 contributionThe water felt amazing, my kids had a blast. But, it is OUTRAGEOUS more expensive than kind island could ever think of being. We paid $40 for 4 dip n dots and one can of Miller Lite..
Oh and by the way, we kept getting bit by something in the water. I got bit twice, hubby got bit once and a lady I was talking too got bit three times. No clue if it was water snakes, frogs, fish, or turtles.. no clue. But def kind of scary.Written July 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

More low key than some of the larger festivals we’ve been to but you could look at the shops and enjoy the food concessions without waiting in long lines. Could use more signage on the way to the festival site. We will return.Written August 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DRLaskeyTripsCanton, OH1,440 contributionsWe bought season passes and finally got a chance to go. Free parking and plenty of it. They have mainly small rides for younger children right now. There is a nice water area including 3 blow up slides with water parks that even adults can do. A beach sand area and a small splash pad area. There are changing sheds that are available but get really hot. I would suggest if doing the water park change before hand. There is also a nice miniature golf course that is rather hard and challenging. Also on all the rides they are giving you hand sanitizer and wiping down rides in between riders. There is also. Go kart track.Written July 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
