Lagoon is truly a great amusement park that I think is often overlooked.

It may not have the same name recognition as other large parks, but they have great rides for all ages and they are also very family friendly.

Because the park has been around for so long, there are tons of shade trees, plus the park has at least a dozen covered pavilions where you can eat lunch in the shade. And they even allow you to bring in food and coolers. (no glass bottles). Yes, you heard me right, although there are restaurants in the park, you can bring in your own food as well.

The past few years have brought some world class rides to the park. If you are local, season passports are a great deal, but if you only go once in the summer I highly recommend getting there right when the park opens (11am I think) and staying all the way to closing time (10pm), there will be no shortage of things to do.
