SYLVAN BEACH AMUSEMENT PARK REVIEWS

So fun and cheap for an amusement park. rides are very fun! the beach is nice and there is a restaurant there that I definitely recommend. I did a ghost tour one night there which was really fun too. nothing haunted happened but after doing the tour I watched the show ghost hunters and they did an investigation there which was cool. the time we happened to be at sylvan beach there was a fireworks show and they were the most impressive fireworks I’ve ever seen.

This was my first time going, and I had a blast! The beach was quiet, the food was delicious, the amusement park was awesome, and the staff were all super friendly! Would definitely recommend, and would definitely go again!

This is such a nice area of NY State. I spent a few days in the area and took part in a ghost hunt - super fun! At night, the rides sure seemed spooky. There are a few cool restaurants too, I'll be back again, for sure.

ENCHANTED FOREST WATER SAFARI REVIEWS

Oh this water park is wonderful! Plenty of activities for the family! I loved the lazy river! My kids and wife loved the slides! The food inside the park are pretty good as well! I got the garlic fries and my family got the family combo - chicken and fries - and some cherry ICEES. We were full half way through our meal! It's fair priced and the mean size is pretty good as well! The park also has plenty of parking, an arcade, changing rooms, and a fairy tale facade area. This was our first time visiting this summer and we're looking forward to next summer. Might be buying a membership too.

This place is adorable. We went with my kids ask to go back all the time. They're 9, 6 and 4 and they all had a great time. My youngest especially loved the little fairytale statues, she wanted to go back 4 times to take pics with them all. Also the rides being included was so nice. We're planning another trip for this summer to bring my sister and her kids along.

We came last year and loved it so much we decided to return this year. This place is truly amazing. The park is so easy to navigate and there is so much to do for kids and adults included. The staff is wonderful and work so hard to keep it nice and clean. Can't wait to come next year!

THUNDER ISLAND REVIEWS

We visited Thunder Island yesterday, and took advantage of the 3-6pm discounted water park tickets. My kids ages 5, 6 &7 all had a BLAST. They can’t wait to go back. The lifeguards were all great, and despite it being an older park it’s well taken care of. Being only 15min from our house in B’ville, I wish we went sooner in the season! It’s nice to have a fun place like this so close to home. We will return.

I had so much fun here. Staff and the lifeguards are respectful,polite, and know how to do their job. Water park has a good variety of slides and pools for all types of people of all ages. They have go cart racing, a game room, and they even offer food and drinks and picnic areas to eat. This place is good for families who want to have a good time and don't want to drive far. Definitely recommed.

We had such a great time on our first visit. We arrived shortly after they opened. Got great seats, lounge chairs and rented an umbrella, kids did zip line, go karts, we had lunch and played in water all day! The owner and staff were so very nice and accommodating. They went out of their way to help us when we had a little personal clothing issue! Definitely recommend! Thank you!!
