Todd the manager is one of the kindest most welcoming amusement park owners i've met all his staff are great and kind and welcoming staff here are way better than the staff at valley fair so nice I stopped going to Valley Fair as the Valley Fair staff are more 50% nice compared to this park which I would rate 97% in kindness read more

Review is just for comp town only. Plenty of free parking nearby or you can opt to take a shuttle also. No entry fee but a donation is encouraged and honestly to keep the facility this way, I always pay the recommended amount and then some. Every year, we come to Como Town at a minimum 1-2 times per summer. I would highly encourage people to walk up to the ticket booth to see which rides are not operational and then assess whether they want to buy the ride bands or not. This was our 2nd time this summer and unfortunately the rides that were not operational in early June were the same rides still out of commission in late July including the roller coaster so docking a star for that. Plus, pro tip: hold your breadth when using the bathrooms here! On the positive side - this amusement park is very affordable (see ticket price pic). Staff is friendly even with them clearly being short staffed. Lines are always short with the longest wait time that I've ever observed is less than 10 minutes. Free (see above) entry. A couple of concession stands with all the sugary delights plus you can walk into the welcome center where there are more food options. read more

Ok, let's start with the good: it's small, easy to walk with little kids, you can choose whether to go on a ride or two, or get an unlimited wristband (currently $24-30 for kids depending on height, $14 for adults). There are lots of rides that are good for toddlers. The place caters to young kids, so there are no rides really intended for older kids and adults, which is fine. Now, the bad: the past few years when I've come here, a solid chunk of the rides are closed (we're taking ~30% consistently. I've never seen Hodge Podge Park or the Splash Zone open. Today the swings, roller coaster, and bumper cars were also closed. And that makes the unlimited band feel like not such a good deal. It almost feels like a scam when they make zero mention of what is closed at the ticket booth. Other places for improvement: no seating in the shade. No water refill stations or drinking fountains whatsoever (you have to go into the zoo, which is free, but inconvenient). All in all, this is a great spot for toddlers who can't handle long days, and willing parents. Once your kid is about 6, you may be better off at Nickelodeon or Valleyfair. read more

Took my grandchildren to Como Town yesterday. Paid for the wrist bands and then found out the Splash Park and Roller Coaster were still closed (just like last year). The price package for the wrist band has not changed since we went last year. The prices should reflect the loss of the 2-3 features that were not open. Was told after my purchase that the closures were listed at the ticket booth. They were not listed on the price board but over your head at the check out counter. The sign is a permanant metal sign and looks to have been there a long time. My grandchildren were disappointed again. I will not be back. read more

nice enough but for the exhibit magical creature... there was a sign that clearly said 999 per person those under at year free or some age ... we paid 12 dollars each so take down the sign false advertising... when it came to over 26 I figured Walz and his taxes but it seems it just your basic scam read more

Como Town - Amusement Parks Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Visited today for the first time in a few years. It's super run down,and literally half of the rides were shut down. ( we found that out on our own) Also there were two open rides that abruptly shut down before my kid could even ride them. The drivable cars-only ONE was usable ( out of like 10) so that line was obviously long. So for the 30$ unlimited wrist band my kid was only able to go on 4 rides. Every single vending machine was out of order. The water area was unusable. Trash everywhere. Luckily we decided to visit the zoo afterwards and that was pleasant like always. I never do this but i actually asked if I could get a copy of the receipt for my purchase of the wristbands ( I told them I didn't need the receipt at first) but they claimed they couldn't give me the receipt later on. I was going to request a refund because it was extremely disappointing but I guess not!! Spent maybe 45 mins there because my kid got super bored of the 4 rides that were open. read more

This is the 3rd time I've taken my children to como town. We really like it. It's a great place to take small children. Everytime we've been able to get a discount band using groupon or some other coupon site. Then we buy a few points for ourselves. They go on a card that never expires. There's no admission at the gate although there is a recommended donation. The food is not too overly priced. Parking can be a pain but this last time we took the shuttle. Save yourself time and go straight to the shuttle pick up....so easy! Also being a swimsuit for the kiddos. Their splash area is super fun! I gave them 4 stars because their tables were really dirty in the picnic area and the unisex/family bathroom stink to high heaven! read more

Today I had a bunch of international students who wanted to come to como town. Michael really looked out for us operating the boat swing ride and made it a memorable experience for all of us! We are all forever grateful for the fun time! read more

I bought all-day wristbands through Strib Deals and got 4 for $36! It was great for the kids. I brought a 12, 8 and 5 year old... it's probably best for 3-4 year olds, but we had fun. It's also great with the zoo, conservatory and park right next door. The food is kind of pricey, but not outrageous ($3-5 for softserve ice cream, $5 corn dog, $7 foot long, $4 cotton candy)You can spend the entire day here for relatively cheap. You can bring your own food and eat in the park, go to the zoo and jump on some rides - overall good time! read more

Como Town - Brand new park - Amusement Parks Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Solid amusement park for the littles, easy to get in and out vs larger places like Valley Fair. Avoid the Zoo, it's sad and stinky. read more

Como Town is a great family experience from the animals at Como zoo, food and the rides. There's something for everyone at every age.

I like the convenience of the amusement park , zoo, and conservatory being connected. One can easily go back and forth. The rides at Como Town are great with younger children. Our 3 year old loves it every time. read more

Como Town - Amusement Parks Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Ride operators are not that helpful (cars). Give no instructions if you should assist the kid to the ride. They just stand around like teenagers trying to get a free paycheck. On the firetruck ride the operator just shrugged his shoulders and blew me off when I asked why my son's truck didn't move up and down. Didn't offer to let him ride one that worked. The guy was a jerk. Glad I don't live here, the place is a dump with bad ride operators. read more

Como Town is great for what it is: a tiny tot sized carnival with rides and attractions for the littles! It's manageable to walk the entire park with children, and there are a lot of fun rides for them. It's an inexpensive, family friendly, community fair that is the perfect escape for a few hours. The reason I cannot give it 5 stars is b/c it's has a splash park (super fun) but no changing rooms. If you want to change your little one from a swimsuit to dry clothing you must do it in a cramped, dark bathroom... Ick. read more

We are here all of the time with our kids. We have season passes, which is worthwhile for young kids.

Shalonda at the como town amusement park was really good, she was so sweet & kind! She was so involved with the kids & cared so much about them. She is a big reason I would go back there, kid you not. Don't get me wrong , people like her really, really matter . Sincerely, Lynn from Denver CO.!!!!!! read more

It's alright. Most of the attractions are suited for ages 6 to pre-teen in my opinion. Height requirements are doing too much, especially when my kid can ride all the ones at the MOA, but they can't ride on the basic power tower and roller coaster here. Nice area called Splash Zone to get wet in when it gets hot. Some rides require a chaperone which can be a drag when I don't want to get on, especially when you have to pay to ride with your child. Wish they had a better bathroom too. or a separate place to change. bathrooms are smelly and dark. i would like it if there was some ventilation, more lights. It's okay for a small amusement park. I'd say, you would have more fun at MOA or Valley Fair. read more
