Do not go to Volente Beach if your child is older than 8. There are only two rides for older children. The rest of the park is for toddlers.
During a drought, the lake is so low that you can barely access it from Volente Beach. There was no "beach"...only rocks that led down quite a ways to an extremely shallow and small swimming area. It is impossible to enjoy the lake from here. I'm sure that is not the case when the lake is full.
On a Saturday, concession stands closed at 6. Trash cans were never emptied, providing an attraction for hundreds of bees. The grounds were dirty and not maintained. The rides looked like they could use a good coat of paint as well.
Since you couldn't sit by the lake, I had to sit by the kiddie pool while my kids rode the two rides. The chairs by this pool were worse than something you would get at the Dollar Store. Very flimsly and unfomfortable. And I was buzzed by bees the entire time.
We paid $55 for three of us, and my kids were bored with this park in less than one hour. I can't emphasis enough that there are only two rides for kids over the age of 8. Take advantage of their after 4:30pm half-price specials as the price goes down to $10.99. Ten bucks is all this place is worth.
Pros: Location
Cons: outdated, dirty, overpriced
