The pricing is astronomical. It noticeably goes up year after year. It's borderline ridiculous; between admission, food/beverage, and small storage lockers. Don't get me started on games and the gift shops.
On a positive note, they have a great range of rides to suit the whole family. It makes a good location for family fun. Best to bring a cooler with your own meal and snacks.
Another positive is safety. Their own standards are pretty high and the fact Minnesota has some of the strictest regulations in the country for fair rides is an added bonus.
