My children are not big on rides so it was nice that we could enjoy the park without having to pay a lot to see what it offered. We came in the evening and walked around to check it out. We rode the bumper cars, carousel, and little kids coaster. If the weather was nicer we want to come back for the full day to enjoy the waterpark and rides. Food was decently priced with lots of choice through the park. You can also bring your own food and eat picnic style.

They have great rides and the park is kept very clean. My personal favorite is the sky rideread more

There's a bathroom that only kind of smells. Close by is the lighthouse. It has a small museum. This area would seem to attract many tourists. It however doesn't seem that crowded. Most people are on the beach but but that many though. It seems cleaner than many beaches. The sand doesn't have a lot of cigarette butts and litter. It's kept clean pretty good. The water is kind of murky but it's apparently safe. Along with the beach is the park. There's some great views. It seems like a safe area. There's usually someone on patrol. It has a public bathroom. It doesn't reek of piss. They charge for parking but you can park for free on a side street.

So in order to ride Ravine Flyer ll you must have one of the point cards as this coaster requires 4.5 credits for each rider to join in on the fun! The coaster starts off just like anyone other one with a short ride over the transfer track to the lift hill that provides a stunning view of Lake Erie just as your about to drop to head straight into the bridge that crosses the 4 lane state highway 832 right after you cross you do a good turn around and head back over the highway again for some more coaster action that's complete with a tunnel or two to keep things even more interesting! This really is up there with some of the best wooden coasters I've ridden across the country as you get a good amount of airtime throughout the entire ride it's super smooth for a wooden coaster and the fact you cross over a 4 lane highway is just awesome! Overall this is a great addition to Waldameer Park and a amazingly fun coaster for all ages to enjoy it will definitely be a pleasure when I get to come back here again to enjoy this super fun wooden coaster of epic Erie proportions!

Paths were well landscaped and were made of concrete. We didn't ride the Go Karts or Bumper boats but they looked awesome. The price was very fair.

We didn't go in the Candy shop. My only complaint, reason for 4 stars, was that mini golf was not handicap accessible. The hills and some of the pathways are very difficult to maneuver. But definitely worth driving out to it for a fun filled family day.
