    Very awesome tour and the gift shop staff is very helpful as well I enjoyed walking around the…read morecavern stage floor they do have a spiral tour which is the one I did, and then a longer tour through parts of the cavern which is a $130 tour called the expedition tour which if you are claustrophobic like me it probably is best to just stick to the spiral tour, the place is just phenomenal to escape the heat in during these times. I would rate a 10 star if I could but this app only lets me do 5 stars. And after the tour you can buy your photo with them at the gift shop for you and your group which is super awesome. I know on you tube theirs a few videos that show the expedition tour but I myself can't even fit in those tight spaces let alone deal with the claustrophobia and fear of heights this was a good and safe tour for me. Thank you guys for providing this! Also heads up for anyone planning on going to spiral tour the stairs is a long way up and a long way down make sure to have a camera strap for your cameras or phones so you do not drop it or lose it. Thanks to all the tour guides and staff! Great job!

    Super fun place that I recommend! The tour was engaging enough, and the cave itself was a really…read morecool experience. Beautiful stalatctites and stalagmites and 100 feet down and up. It wasn't too claustrophobic at all -- but the initial walked down. Could be scary for some people because it's a little bit narrow. But everything is on stairs and steps and paved and you're pretty out in the open once you get down the staircase. It just takes a few minutes to walk down. We paid $25 each for the tour and they also have a crawl tour. You just see the main part of the cave on the $25 tour!

    I visited Great Anerica for the first time, and I had a really fun time! We got there right when…read morethe park opened at 10 a.m., which was definitely the best decision. There weren't many people in line yet, so we were able to get on a few rides without waiting too long. Later in the day, the park started getting a lot busier, so I'm glad we arrived early. There are so many rides to choose from. It was fun walking around and exploring everything throughout the day. Even when it got crowded later on, I still enjoyed the atmosphere and all the different attractions. Overall, I had a great first visit and really enjoyed my time there.

As we walking into the amusement park, I had no idea the Snoopy Kids area was to the left hand side, so we went to the right! Hahaha The children enjoyed watching other "big kids" play the games in the carnival game area. Their prices are crazy expensive though! $10 for one round of 3 balls is crazy and you're not even guaranteed the prize! No thanks! The funnel cakes were still delicious but $20 for the strawberry and ice cream topping seems crazy!! Overall, it was a fun day at activities and they had a waterpark as well as the kids which my little kindergartners loved! I'm not one for amusement park rides, but all middle schoolers we had attending loved the rides!! Too bad this park is closing because I know a lot of teenagers and young adults like coming here

The endless river was fun chasing them as well as them chasing me. Watching then play water basketball, the wave pool and the kitty play area. It was exhausting and satisfying.

She was very helpful and informative the entire time, even after our room block closed. The waterpark is great for kids probably from 3-12. We saw adults enjoying their time there, but mostly kids/families were kiddos that were fully mobile and at least 3 ft tall. I think 3ft is the minimum for getting kids access to 2 of the waterslides. My son just hit that requirement and he had such a blast just with the two slides. I think the 4-5 year olds loved the tide pool and the slides as well. This spot is really convenient for families to just have a place to stay, food, and entertainment all in one place. There are activities like yoga, story time, and arts & crafts. They also have a candy and ice cream shop on site. I really think we could probably come here annually and our kids can keep coming back to experience new things. My son only explored a fraction of the park, so I think by next year he'll have an even better time. Food here is mostly fried and not super diverse. Manage your expectations for healthier options because they really cater to the kids with pizza, burgers, nachos. The one salad they had on the menu was shockingly nor good. The rooms here are a small step above holiday inns - clean enough, pretty basic with not a ton of frills, has a mini fridge and plenty of counter space. I feel like food, rooms, entertainment, etc are all catered for families, don't expect luxury or any frills - but expect making some sweet and exciting memories with the family!

    I came here on a field trip with my job, a before and after school program that is in the middle of…read moresummer camp. My group participated in the mini golf with neon, and glow in the dark theme. The children had a blast. The kid golf clubs were filthy. I did make a comment to the young staff, it seemed as if they're not cleaned often. There are three bathroom stalls, not enough to accommodate the plethora of children coming. Plus, there was no soap and the second time I escorted the girls to the bathroom there were no paper towels. Are there bathroom checked to replenish these items? The play area was a hot mess two female staff was sitting and talking, later I did see them picking up balls from the ball pit. But no supervision or enforcing rules with the children. Overall the children enjoyed themselves but the lack of staff supervision, dirty equipment, and no soap and paper towels in the female bathroom, I wouldn't recommend.

    This place is smaller than I expected, but there were still plenty of activities to keep the kids…read morebusy and entertained. We visited on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded, which was nice because the kids had plenty of room to play. They also have party rooms available, and the rooms are a good size for birthday celebrations and group events. My only suggestion is that the food court service could be more attentive. It often seemed like no one was at the counter when assistance was needed. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd recommend it for families with young children.

    Bought tickets online and AAA also offers comparable discount…read more NOTE: they do not distribute maps so if you are a map person, download and print before you go. Going on a week day is less crowded however you might see kids attending summer camps. We went on Monday, July 6th and there was hardly any lines everywhere. Maybe it was because people were still vacationing for the July 4th weekend. The most we waited was 5 minutes. Sometimes they are not very efficient when letting on new riders such as the ferris wheel. We were able to get on all the rides and even repeated some rides because there was no line. You might have to wait for the train ride since it circles around. There's another pick up / drop off point halfway as well in case you want to get off, do something and get back on later. The paddle boat ride (ducks and swans) was fun - they tell you to paddle for 5 minutes then you need to paddle back. Every rider must wear a life jacket for safety reasons. The handle bar to control left or right turn was a little tricky but you get used to it. Yes - the food prices are high - which I was not surprised. I had a craving for a funnel cake which costs after taxes $17+ which shocked my hubby. The more crowded it is, the longer you'll need to wait in line and the fewer rides you'll be able to get on - so I suggest getting there when they open to maximize your time since they close at 5 or 6pm. We focused on the rides and didn't tackle the kids water park.

    Food: overpriced, mediocre Garlic bread + chicken for $10,…read moretiny amount. Rides: horridly managed. Tons broken. Some are fun and quick. Some rides have ridiculously long lines that are poorly managed (like you're the 10th family in line but can't seem to get to the front after an hr in line... why??) The ferris wheel for example looks like a short line (we prob had 8 families ahead of us) but soo many seats left empty because they were somehow BROKEN. I have no idea why they let on like 4 people at a time when it can fit like 40 people at once (10 carriages fitting up to 4 people each). Took us 50min from entering line to finishing ride. We wanted to get out of the line so many times but my toddler wanted to ride it. The lake boat paddle ride seems so inefficient... took over 1hr in line and we gave up. The hot air balloon ride was horrid we had to get out of line bc it took forever to start the ride each time, they just let fast track people on, and it didn't fit that many people each time. It fits up to 4 but most balloons only had 1-2 people riding- they should encourage 2 families sharing a balloon. Water: looked fun but we didn't have the water play items and didn't want to spend another $50 on towels and such. Honestly think this is probably the only worthwhile area of the park but it's only open during the summer. (But water parks are NOT worth $65pp + $25 parking) Nature center was actually nice and air conditioned but apparently they're downsizing it permanently after October. The train broke. South county backroads (car buggy ride) was broken. The monorail was broken the whole day. How are they charging $65 per person? Guess we're not getting the membership option. Parking is $25 .... that's ridiculous. Overall extremely disappointed with this place, found it overpriced, too many rides broken, and will not be coming back.
