    On 28Jul22 we arrived at 11:00 (the posted time they are to open) and there was a short line of…read morepeople. We saw a worker taking out trash about that same time. It is currently 11:20am and no one is answering the phone. The line is about 30 PO'd people making alternate plans now and still no signs of life other than the first sighting of an employee. Would not suggest counting on this place to plan family entertainment as they seem to struggle with reading a clock or answering a phone. Oh wait... employees are carrying out box but won't answer the simple question of when they will open. It's 11:30 am. But wait, there's more..... So, about 5 minutes after a group of about 15 left and we were on our way back to the car, they opened the doors. I grabbed a few shots of the broken down machines but more importantly let me explain a critical piece of how this place works. We selected the option of buying 200 tokens for $50.00. Our 2 15 yr olds blew through them in about 45 minutes and that's being generous. Why? Because many of the games took 7, 12, and 20 tokens to play a single game! Another point to raise is that they never opened the laser tag game while we were there. This place was a great disappointment and if you wonder why their Google reviews are so high, they give you $5.00 off for a good review.

    Four Stars for the Ferris Wheel & four stars for the employee who was running the water gun race…read morefor prizes. They were the saving grace of the park. My cousin was visiting from out of town and he had mentioned it would be cool if there was a ferris wheel near the ocean. The ferris wheel here came to mind. As long as I've lived here I had always passed by it but never rode it. Upon entering my cousin got excited about the (water gun) game. The employee running it was pleasant and we got a bunch of smiles out of him. It was really fun and my cousin won a super cute tiger for a family member of ours. It came with a hefty price tag though. Before we even played I told him he would be better off just buying a stuffed animal in a store. But the prize he was seeking ticked off all the boxes. Plus there's a fun, enjoyable story to tell behind it. It cost $30 total to win. Yeah I know. It actually was truly enjoyable but if he hadn't been visiting I would have never came to check out this Fun Park. After that we rode the ferris wheel which was a good time as well. You are able to see the ocean from it, which was nice. It was great to have a different perspective of VA Beach. Tickets were roughly $6 a piece. Each ride takes a certain number of tickets and you purchase them at the ticket booth right across from it as well for tickets to other rides. You get 3 full rides around on the wheel. We were the only ones on it too. They do accept credit card but they tack on a 3.5 % service charge to do so. We roamed the rest of the park just to check it out. The other rides look pretty beat. It was so quiet in there, for me that's a plus because there were no crowds and it was rather peaceful. However, it was so quiet that when we looked around I didn't notice the ride attendants standing around their station. They looked like permanent fixtures of the rides. It was eerily quiet for a fun park on a September Sunday afternoon. It would've been a perfect backdrop setting for the beginning of a zombie apocalypse movie. It felt like a place where hopes and dreams come to die. What actually brought life to the park were the colorful, beautiful hibiscus flowers dispersed throughout the grounds. We spent roughly 30-45 minutes there. There aren't many rides and they could use some sprucing up. It has potential. It also has a high price point because it's at the oceanfront.

    For what it's worth, Atlantic Fun Park is a good experience for kids and parents. The rides,…read moretreats, and games are just good enough to put a smile on kids faces. I'd even go as far as saying this is a good place for a date night for young and mature as it is a casual environment and the expectations are overachieving. If you love 80s vibe carnival settings, this carnival is for you. The carnival isn't vast, however, the rides and games are strategically situated in the right places. I normally don't do carnival ferris wheels, however, this ferris wheel was a very good experience and worth it. The wheel circles high enough to get a good high view of the skyline of Virginia Beach at night. The ride and game attendants were also friendly. Overall a good experience.

Cons: - Parking is an additional fee and is progressive depending on how long you are going to be there from April through October. They call this their "regional resort parking schedule" fee structure which means they are considering this a resort just to make you pay to park during the summer months. - Entry seems a bit high for the size of the venue at $35/adult and $30/children 5 to 17, especially since several exhibits were closed or "under construction" which they do not tell you up front - the staff were not very helpful - the aquarium closes at 5pm and they say you cannot enter after 3:30pm, but they will let you pay until at least 415. This seems a bit shady just to take your money and kick you out at 5. - if you take the long nature walk to the south building make sure you are headed back to the north at least 30 minutes before closing or they will lock you out and make you walk a half mile down the busy street to get back to your vehicle. This is not relayed by signage or via the employees at any time

    The year is now 2016 and a lot has changed over the past years here at the Chesapeake Jubilee…read more Parking is available, but it's usually better to donate $5.00 to the church and park a lot closer across the street. Did I mention the church shuttles you to the front entrance and give you free complimentary bottles of water for your drive home. The entrance fee is now $3.00 and you can ride the rides all day for $25.00. Which really isn't bad for all the teenagers and adults if your into rides ??? As you walk around you will have plenty of food choices such as lobster, shrimp, ribs, Carolina BBQ, Maryland Crab cakes, jerk chicken, gyros, Philly subs, turkey legs, sausages, burgers, hot dogs, Chick-fill-a, wraps, fries, homemade chips, funnel cakes, fried (twinkies,Oreos,snickers), shakes, lemonade, ice cream, Italian ice cream, root beer, beer and lots of beer !!! With two stages available for your music entertainment and plenty of vendors set up in tents and outside with all kinds of souvenirs but also items for your home, personal use and gifts so you just can't go wrong. You must take the small tour in the U.S Army 18 Wheeler and pick up the free Army gifts. Also available is corn hole, beer pong, bubble soccer, and a bronco riding challenge where you can win $200.00. Oh and do take a pic with the LOVE sign !!! And of course the rides so enjoy everything !!!!

Since I hadn't been to a carnival in a while, I was surprised to see that the tickets were stored digitally on a card that they give to you. I actually loved the convenience of not having tickets all over the place lol. We rode about two rides which were a lot of fun. The ride operator simply scanned the card for our tickets and that was it! Gone are the days of having to count out the tickets for the rides lol. We then decided to grab something to eat. I remember carnival food being delicious and worth every penny but we ordered a cheese burger, cheesesteak, sausage and peppers and fries and the burger was extremely small, the cheesesteak was finished in 3 bites and the sausage was the size of a hot dog. The food was disappointing for how much we paid. The funnel cake and fried Oreos were great though. The best part of the carnival was definitely the delicious Turkey leg that we all enjoyed. Since my daughter isn't a big fan of fireworks, we decided to leave before they started but overall, it was a fun family outing. Side note: To avoid paying the $10 parking fee, we parked at a nearby school but we walked close to a mile to get to the carnival so definitely where comfortable shoes if you plan on taking that route next year. :)
