Tip and Toid - Get the most out of your park visit!

A trip to your local amusement park can be an average day or with a little planning, it can be a fun-filled mini-vacation with family and friends. So by following these simple suggestion you will make your day one to remember.

Pick the best time to go. Tuesday through Thursdays typically have the lightest attendance. For weekends, Sunday evening is usually the least crowded.


Buy tickets in advance to avoid the long admission lines at the front of the park.


Call ahead to see if your favorite attractions are open.


Guests and small children with special needs can usually be accommodated at most parks, so call ahead.


Wear comfortable shoes and dress in lightweight layers. All amusement parks have lockers to keep your load light.


Bring an extra pair of socks if you plan on sloshing around on water attractions.

Use sunscreen.


Make note of where you park. There is nothing worse than searching for your car at the end of the day.


Arrive 30 minutes ahead of the official opening. Most parks have shopping and dinning available.


Pick a place for your party to meet if you get separated and tell small children to talk to a host or hostess if they get lost.


Go to the back of the park when it opens. Most guests go to the first ride they see.


Ride new attractions in the morning…the lines will always be long.


Lines thin out during parades and special events.


Pass time in line by playing games such as "Twenty Questions."


Always get your hand stamped when you exit in case you decide to come back later in the day.
