Adventureland, USA

Adventureland USA is a family friendly theme park chuck full of rides for every age group and risk threshold.  From upside-down inverting water rides to steel and wooden roller coasters, the bigger kids and adults will have no trouble finding entertainment all day long. 

For the younger ones, smaller-scale rides are the way to go.  There’s a Ferris Wheel (known as the Giant Sky Wheel at Adventureland), a mini G-Force attraction, carousel, bi-plane style carnival rides, and much more.

But the rides aren’t all age-segregated.  The whole family can get into bumper car racing, the Silly Silo, and the giant waterslide ride, Splash, and the log ride – among many others.  

When you get sick (literally) of riding these mini thrills, there’s plenty of performances and shows scheduled intermittently throughout the day to check out.  Some of the best are the high-flying circus and captivating magic show. 

For those who aren’t as thrilled about riding vehicles of amusement (i.e., folks tending a little more on the motion sick side of things), there’s a myriad of arcade games to choose from.  Each section of the park has an interactive game section tailored to the current theme.  For instance, the Wild West side of Adventureland contains the gaming section known as Outlaw Gulch, which sits in the proximity of the wooden roller coaster, the Outlaw.  Here you can take a shot with fake rifles at various Wild West themed targets and earn points for prizes. 

Of course, a visit to a theme park wouldn’t be complete without food, so there’s a number of cuisine choices at Adventureland.  There’s full-meal restaurants, plus an ice cream sundae shop where you can settle your stomach with a variety of ice cream, frozen ice cream bars, shakes, and sundaes.
