Had a BLAST at Valley Fair! Visited on the fourth Saturday of May and it was pleasantly not that crowded! Lines for rides were minimal. My 8 year old and 3 year old LOVED the rides and the experience overall (as did my husband and I)! When we first arrived, I needed to speak to someone in Customer Relations. Annie , a team lead, was TOP-NOTCH in processing my request and making my family and I feel like valued guests. She gave us "1st Visit" buttons since this was my family's first time at the park. From the moment we walked into the park to our exit, our day was hassle free and full of fun. All the employees we interacted with were pleasant and knowledgeable. I loved the diversity and inclusion. The park was very clean and well maintained. I felt safe and comfortable. Kudos to Valley Fair for that.

Just a couple of recommendations:

NEVER PAY FOR ADMISSION AT THE GATE
Check the website out for deals and packages. That can save you some . Also, check with your employer- a lot of companies offer their employees discounted tickets to local attractions including Valley Fair...

BUY THE ALL DAY MEAL PLAN ($35)
You get an entree and side every 90 minutes. The meals alone cost about $13-$15 each if you were to eat as you go. It's worth it! Especially for families... See the photo I uploaded for the meal options...

BUY THE UNLIMITED DRINK SOUVENIR CUP ONLINE ($13)
Free refills every 15 minutes. Again, so worth it when drinks are $5 each... A family can share one refillable drink all day. Plus, it's in a nice reusable plastic cup with a straw and lid and you can bring it back on other visits and pay $1 to fill/refill. There are no lids and straws for the disposable drinks. It's a no brainer if you ask me...

BRING EXTRA CLOTHES AND SHOES
You will more than likely get wet on some rides. Extra clothes are nice to have in tow- as well as both a pair of sandals and sneakers per person. The nice thing is that you can leave them in your car and go get them if necessary. You get hand stamped for readmittance if you should need to leave. Towels are also handy!

PAY FOR PARKING IN ADVANCE ONLINE
It's a couple of dollars cheaper- but hey, every dollar counts and you could use the money saved to pay for games inside the park...
