I love rides and I love amusement parks, but these rides were a lot. Maybe it's my aging body,…read moremaybe it's the fact that it was raining and we were being pelted in the face on each ride, but the DC universe rides were not for me. I love a good spin and flip ride, but when the flips and spins come one right after the other and don't seem to stop, that's when you lose me. I was surprised they didn't have more in between roller coasters, ones that weren't just for 7 year olds or the ultimate thrill seekers. I've been to Great America a ton and was expecting some more options like that. We came at Christmas time and were pleasantly surprised to see how great they decorated the place. It was so festive and fun to see. I loved the gingerbread village and the reindeer roundup. It was a cold rainy weekday when we were here, so the park was pretty empty and we didn't have to wait for anything. In fact, each time a ride ended they offered you to stay on and ride again without even having to move. We waited in line to buy tickets for just that day and luckily the guy at the window told us they were about half the cost if you got them online, which we were able to do on the spot on our phones. Kinda strange that the cost to buy in person is so much more than buying online, but we were very thankful that was shared with us.

I had high hopes for this park. Every time we drive through Vallejo on the way to Sacramento, I…read moresaid I wanted to go there. I bought Prestige passes for my son and me. I was not sure how to use the free bring a friend, so I used the "Contact Us" page. TWICE. I never got a reply or acknowledgement. We went and it worked out. The passes are scanned twice. I bought the all day dining passes and drink passes. Waste of money. Only able to eat once because when we were looking for a snack, all of the places that accept the plan were closed! It wasn't even 6pm. We went to the Funnel Cake place by the entrance. It is listed as on the dining plan. The employees said nothing there was. But the app says differently. $18 for a mediocre funnel cake was a complete rip off. Getting our cups refilled was another problem. Every place was closed! Why bother spending the money on that?? The rides were ok. DC Universe is rough. I like big roller coasters. But these were a bit rough. Maybe I am just old. Medusa and The Joker were my favorites. Ride operators seemed very unhappy or unfriendly. Parking lot... yep, very much unmarked. We had Preferred Parking. We found a space and we're told it was for employees only. We could park another row up. Ok. All handicapped. So we move yet another row up. The lanes were all coned off. How would we know it was staff parking if it is unmarked? Once you park, you walk. And walk. And walk. And walk a little more to get to the entrance. I guess there are shuttles. But we saw no info about where and how and when. Bottom line. Don't waste your time. We won't be coming back. California's Great America is a much better experience. Plus we don't have two bridge tolls to go there. We will use our pass there instead.

A good amount of activities for my 4 year old grand daughter who was just tall enough to go on the slides with inner tubes. Well maintained and lots of lifeguards - I give it 5 stars at least when it's not 100% filled. The hotel room isn't the fanciest I have stayed but the rooms are fairly large and well maintained. Plenty like towels and the housekeeping staff is very friendly. I have not been to any great wolf lodge before but was very impressed with the wolf theme that was carried out throughout the resort. There are a lot of activities included with your wrist band received as part of the room rate. All in all - a very good experience.

I have not been here in over 10 years and when I found it that it is closing soon I got so sad…read more This is definitely a childhood stable. We got the gold pass for only $89. What a freakin' steal! It includes admission to ALL 6 flags in California, Airzona, and Mexico. My favorite part is that it includes parking too!! I saw the sign when we drove by, parking is $35. We went last Thursday when it was 96 degrees out and we freaking loved it. The park wasnt that busy. I waited only about 10 mins for a roller coaster. Honestly, most of the people were at the water park section, which I dont remember it being that BIG. The water park in the back is HUGE. Lots of water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river. I definitely will be back for the water park sometime this year. The food was meh, but just regular amusement park food I guess. The chicken tasted kind of dry to me tbh. Overall, I had so much fun. I hope to visit it at least 7 more times before the the end of the year. =D

Came here after visiting Six Flags Discovery Kingdom the day before with my Six Flags prestige pass…read morewhich allows me to visit any Six Flags park. I have the all season fast pass, all park dining plan, all park drink plan and an all park icee/hot cocoa plan. This place was 2 miles from my hotel. It is in the middle of office buildings near Levi stadium (where the 49er's play). It was an easy entrance at parking, parking was abudant and the amount of busses in the parking lot was low. Got to the entrance had our passes scanned and asked if they use the fast lane site or have a wrist band. They do wrist bands but she had not idea where we get them. Suggested store by entrance. Store near entrance knew what we were talking about and gave us our wrist bands. The park had not opened yet so we were corralled near the double decker carousel. After park open I checked the app to see where to head next and most of the rides were closed (it was a theme for the day). Food options are limited. Kidlet ate at the great american hot dog and snacks place. Got a hot dog, bag of chips with meal plan. They had icees so we went here a few times. I went to the market. Which was a mess. I got the chicken ceaser wrap. You don't pay at the window you have to go to this check out area. They initially had 4 people working, then 3, the one. It took over 20 minutes to get through this and if I had waited my food would have been cold. I ate my fries in line and saved the cold item which had got warm from being held. 2nd meal kidlet got Panda Express. Here they give you a bowl vs knott's which uses a to go container. They also gave her fried rice when she wanted lo mein so they gave her a little to go container of lo mein. My second meal I went to Maggie's smokehouse. It was not busy and I should have left as you could tell the food had been out for a long time and looked dried up. The person at the cash register told me my meal plan had been used but asked a coworker who got it to work. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and potato wedges. Wedges were cold and the spicy chicken sandwich had a spicy sauce and some jalapeños on it. Many food locations not open and icee locations hard to find. Second location we found employee said machine was not working, poured a drink and it looked ok so we got a large drink for our pass (which usually is only a small cup_ We finally got to an area where rides were open so we rode: These are the rides we rode and that are on fast pass: 1. Orbit-we were the only ones on it. A fun ride 2. Flying eagles-exactly like the gliders at knott's, basically a kiddie ride 3. Demon-this ride was rough. Looks old, feels old. Track is dull and paint chipped off, cars look old 4. Drop tower-it was ok. There are higher towers at other parks 5. flight deck-this was closed most of the day but we made it on. The best ride at the park 6. gold striker-was closed most of the day and we rode it when it was open. It was a good ride through the beginning. Got rough at the end. I prefer Ghostrider at Knott's 7. pacific gliders-this is meh. Kidlet loved it and rode a million times 8. patriot-nothing to write home about 9. psycho mouse- not sure how they get away with the name of this. I guess since it is a mouse it is ok? was a smooth ride, the curves are not as jolty as other rides like this 10. rail blazer-this was also closed most of the day. Caught it when opened a fun ride but the harness left a mark my arm and cut kidlet's arm to bleeding. 11. rip roaring rapids-this was like every other water ride like this. you can get SOAKED. I rode once, escaped not too wet. Kidlet rode 5-6 times at end of day, got kicked off due to the park closing. 12. rue le dodge-bumper cars. Kidlet rode a few times 13. grizzly-this was a rough ride. And security was dealing with some kind of fight situation 14. tiki twirl- have never ridden a ride like this before. it was ok. 15. Barney Oldfield's redwood alley-rode once, kidlet rode a million times 16. delta flyer/eagles nest- took to get to the other side of the park On fast pass did not ride: celebration swings. These are basic swings at every amusement park Overall I can see why this park is closing. It is very run down and sad looking. Hardly any shade in the middle of an industrial area. The land is valuable and they are going to put up shopping centers and office space. I do feel sad for the area as they will be left with Six Flags Discovery kingdom as the major amusement park left open (if there are smaller local amusement parks I am not aware of as I am not familiar with this area). Glad I got to go before it closed but now that I have been I don't feel a need to go again.

They were constantly assisting skaters with skate sizing and making sure skates were adjusted comfortably, which made everything run smoothly--especially with kids.

Pizza was delivered right on time, and the hot chocolate was a huge hit with everyone. Overall, it was a very laid-back, easy, and fun experience. We would definitely come back again and highly recommend Modesto on Ice for birthday parties or a family outing!

Unfortunately, all the rides are currently not in operation. No train, no carousel, no kid rides. The only thing that does work is the zip line and the playgrounds. SWP, please hire someone and fix the rides. Your park will have a lot more patrons if you hire someone to fix the rides. You can double the entry fee and people will still come if the rides are operational. Unfortunately if these don't get fixed, I fear this place may shut down eventually. Pro tip: Bring your own stick, string, hook (paperclip) and hot dogs to catch the crawdads. And Ask for discounts when making reservations.

They have little gumball type machines that you can buy feed to feed the animals for 25 cents. TrainTown has a few other rides as well, including a toddler-friendly roller coaster! There's also a boat ride that spins and goes from side to side, a carousel, a merry go round, a ferris wheel, and others. Parking was easy to find even though the lot isn't huge. This was surprising to us as we went on a clear Saturday in February.

The train ride is fun and you see waterfalls, real and fake animals, bridges etc. Take some quarters as they are handy if your kid wants to feed the animals (the train driver has change as well) Some rides are scarier than they look, so make sure you check before sending your kid. They have kids running the rides and they do a good job - sometimes there aren't enough operators and you have to wait. There isn't a lot of food options there so take snacks if you need them!

We were a bit disappointed because I had received an email that it was drift night, but when we arrived it had actually been the night before. Marketing really needs to have accurate messaging going out. I double checked the email to see if I'd read it right and it indeed had the wrong night listed. Kids were super bummed, but decided to go out and drive and still had a great time. The track was a tad slippery still from drift night so they actually had a few tiny drift moments. They have food and drinks available for reasonable prices. Mostly pub type food, as well as snacks and candy. Lots of nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages available. There's a pool table and other games in an arcade area. Plenty of seating options. I love that electric carts are available, as I don't miss having to breathe in fumes with the former gas carts.

At $80 per child for the most basic package on a weekend I expected a higher level of service. Throughout the party, I had to ask for everything. I had to request water pitchers, ask for a candle and lighter, and no one offered to help cut the cake. The staff didn't offer much help coordinating the event. I've had parties at Pump It Up, where the staff was much more attentive and proactive. I also had an unpleasant interaction with an employee (Scott?). The employee's old white car was parked in front of the facility, with its windows completely down and a cracked windshield, and its alarm went off. The employee came outside, WALKED ON THE HOOD OF HIS CAR to turn off the alarm, and then accused me of hitting his car. My husband and the five children in my car all confirmed that I didn't. After confronting me in the parking lot, he walked back into K1 while I followed behind. I found it very inappropriate for an employee to yell at a customer, especially as they were entering the business. The kids enjoyed themselves, but the overall customer service was not up to my expectations. When I book a party I like to be stress free, otherwise I would just host a party at my own house.
