We got gold season passes for 2016, spent a lot of time here this summer ONLY because of the pass. Here are the negative things I have to complain about: food prices are ridiculous, even with the gold pass "discount". Dress code...there isn't one apparently, half the people walk around naked...because of the waterpark and then get the rides wet (gross...) Most of the restrooms were not clean. The green cup for $15, and orange cup for $30, is a total joke. Pop was flat most of the time, and bees all over without any traps...my daughter was stung twice. The lines for the rides can be quite long, so if we didnt have the season passes, then you DO NOT get the value for your money at all for what they charge for a daily fee + parking. Some days we spent 6 hours there and only got on 5 rides...
Most of the employees there do not enjoy working there, that was clearly evident. Other than those main complaints, it's fun and they do a great job keeping the actual grounds clean in the park. Here is a suggestion for ValleyFair...take out the Dinosaur park, and replace it with a decent ride. Perhaps a new roller coaster?!! It's never busy enough, waste of space! I give it 3 stars...
