    One of the greatest things mankind has ever created! This place is timeless and magical. The themes vary depending on the seasons. Which is terrific. It feels very atmospheric and vibrant. I enjoy traversing through this fantastical world. The rides are worth the hype that they deserve. Fun for all ages.
  • By Chris Hale
    Great fun for all ages. There is lots to do here. I came with my fiance in late August and at that time the lines were not bad at all, we did not have to wait long. In addition to many rides there are other fun activities such as wine tasting. Food here is good and it is well worth getting the tickets with food included so you can try lots of different places. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the park was overall quite clean and well cared for.
