Valleyfair Family Amusement Park Reviews

I came during valley scare and the parking lot ruined the experience. It was so poorly set up, and it took an hour to get into the park and an hour to leave.

Great rides, but never go on the weekend. You will be waiting hours for each ride. Also buy your tickets online for a discount, it's worth it!

This place is awesome the rides are the best in Minnesota and the food is great. Can't wait until next year when my family and I come again.

It was during Valley Scare and it was a lot of fun.

I legitimately enjoy Valleyfair every time I visit, but the costs add up fast. On my most recent visit, parking was nearly $20 and the locker rental at the water park $15. These steep fees for seemingly basic amenities are bit hard to swallow considering their apparent abundance in availability for both.

Went on so many rides and none of them disappointed

Valleyscare was ok we purchased the extra pass to skip the lines and got the skeleton key pass which gave us access to I think 7 extra things to do. First I have to see everything was very spread out it was kind of hard to find the things especially the attractions for The Skeleton Key the one extra room we paid for was we end up pretty much getting hay throwing at us it was all of our clothes. There was some that was very cool though. One of the exclusive exclusive skeleton pass ones where they did the Oracle reading very sketchy actually ended up having to call Valleyscare and Reporting what was said in the room racial slur was said. That was actually the opener for the reading there was people some girls younger than us in there I'm not sure if the person was drinking beforehand or not they said they had some drinks but I felt it was very inappropriate. I definitely don't think the room was PG-13 there is a lot of sexual talk going on in the room where they supposedly read the tarot cards. As for the customer service for the reporting they called back within a couple of minutes and were very helpful. I think it was fun but not worth $70 some $s for the regular pass and the fast lane in Fright pass. I probably believe would not go back again not too Valleyscare at least

Loves bringing my 5 and 6 year old! Lots of fun stuff even for their age!

I've been a season pass holder for several years and obviously it must be good if I keep coming back! At any and all times, I like to see ride changes or additions to the park! If the park increases the size and cost, I would/will still be a season pass holder! I think the only thing that would keep me from coming to the park is if it closes, please don't ever do that! Thank you and for those who haven't been there yet, please come visit and let us know how or what should be changed? Like I say, I won't stop coming until it closes for good or if I pass away!

Great rides and lot of fun all the way through plus great songs playing all day

I'd rather go to Noah's Ark for real water rides or Six Flags for real rollercoasters. It was fine though.

Always full of fun! The only thing I would change would be more shade options while waiting in line for the rides, since there are quite a few directly in the hot sun.

New management causing park prices to rise. They offer a fast pass so that you can bypass everyone with a normal pass for almost double the cost. This didn't exist years before. It was, buy a pass, stand in line like everyone else. It also feels like on some rollercoasters they almost intentionally have limited trains going to artificially inflate the need for a "fast pass". I would like to say the staff are the saving grace. The people we as attendees interact with really look like they enjoy their job and have fun with people. Also, very high food prices. To be expected at an amusement park. If you plan on going more than one time get the gold pass to save money.

I liked it a lot! It has a lot of rides and shops that will satisfy your needs while you're there. Make sure to grab a map when you walk in if it's your first time.

It s a fun place but the cloths are expensive if you decide not to bring your own pair of swiming cloths

Okay so me and my girlfriend went to valley fair yesterday for our one year anniversary and we had just gotten there and we decided to get on the swing ride we were ready to go when they kicked us off because of the waether and they shut down all the rides so we didn't get to ride a single one and would not give us a refund so basically we paid 80$ to walk around for 15 minutes

Very fun place had a blast, it's just the food there is very expensive other than that it's amazing

Nice workers
Especially Nick, Chase, and Charles on the Excalibur
Give them a raise if you see this

Fun rides

Way too Crowded

Expensive

Food is terrible tasting and wildly overpriced

My son loves it.... (Me too)

Clean environment, fun rides and plenty photo opportunities. Would recommend!

Fun amusement park to go to in the Twin Cities. It's just the right size with a mix of water park and roller coaster type of amusements.

The food was decent but when your at an amusement park I think that is the last of your worries. Definitely recommend buying the season passes!

Lots of fun rides. But they have REALLY long lines. Also very expensive to get in and for parking.

It's been years since I've been to valley Fair but this year I decided to get my kids and myself a pass. It is so worth it. The kids rides are great and I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the areas we were and how friendly and attentive the staff was. Great place for families with kids of all ages!

It was a lot of fun. I went on a Saturday so the lines were kinda long, it took 20-30 minutes to get on most rides, except for shortly after opening and shortly before closing, there were almost no lines at those times. Definitely worth it.

It's a fun place to hang out and go on rides. Just about everything is very expensive though. But it is kept clean and taken care of. I enjoy the all day meal thing with it you can get meals every 90 minutes and only pay $30 once. Valley fair has a bunch of great deals.

Thrilling rides, good food. Valley fair has it all. Amazing place to go with friends or family gathering. They have some really fun rides but the lines are normally really long. Also, some really good food options from subway to panda express and many more.

Going with the family to your local amusement park is awesome, had good fun and helped the local area-stayed all day too.

Disgustingly awful Halloween commercials for Valley Fair for children. What kind of an idiot is running this theme park now.
I will never go there again, nor will any of my colleagues or family.I am appalled.

Fun for everyone. Most of the staff was extremely helpful. Lots of choices on everything

It's really fun,the wild thing is awesome,the wave pool is fun,there food is great...You have to go there (don't forget to get a season pass and there refill cups)

We love getting an annual pass. Way to much fun. Many memories.

How can you not love Valleyfair?! It's not the cheapest day out but between the rides and water park, it's well worth it. I suggest grabbing a discount coupon at subway or doing a monthly payment membership deal.

Great rides and family fun! Compleate with arcade, games, food, dinosaur park, and rides for people of all ages!

Highly recommended

Ride are very scary and intense all the worker was really friendly and answer all question you have

It's a smaller amusement park, but it packs in as much as it can. Be aware of the high prices for drinks and treats, though.

Something for everyone. Thrill seekers will find the large rides, the roller coasters are awesome, but you'll also find traditional rides and even a place for the little kids in the center of the park.

The water park is available as well. It can get pretty crowded on the hot summer days but it is part of the admission.

The park has an IMAX theater too but be prepared, the air conditioning gets chilly. It provides a nice place to sit down and watch some fun films, usually nature documentaries.

Food stands are located around the park, a bit overpriced but provides a variety of options. You can also use this to your advantage by asking for a cup of water which is free of charge. Don't want visitors passing out due to heat stroke.

It is a great park for those visiting the Twin Cities.

Not happy with the customer service. 2 times ago the parking lady offered me great parking for 8 bucks extra for the whole year season. Well she lied it was only for that day not the whole season. Then the next time I won buy one get one on food and I waited in line for 20 minutes and they were out of that item really. I told customer service and they really didn't care didn't offer me anything to make it right or nothing. Even though it was nothing that I did on my end.

Good for youth that like roller coasters, etc. Not many sedate rides for adults. Food was bad as well as grossly overpriced. Admission price not bad, especially with coupon you can get at visitors area in park next to theme park. Take your kids for thrill rides, but if you don't like bumpy rides, don't go.

It's fun, good for the family. Everything is way over priced, but that goes without saying. The water park is nice to cool down in but gets really busy.

Very fun rides, but very expensive day for the family.

If you are Minnesotans and young in the heart and didn t go to Valley Fair, then you lose huge fun, amusement, worldwide know place. Valleyscare at night

Best time I have had in a long time and got to bring my son for the first time

Love the place, just make sure to buy the tickets online

Always a good time, over priced food but that s to be expected.

Everything you want to experience is right here. Food is kinda pricey, so bring the cooler. Otherwise, great place .

Had a ball. Im a lifelong roller coaster enthusiast who travels the country riding great coasters. Never expected much at ValleyFair and really just stopped to add the rides to my credit list. Didnt expect to discover my new favorite wooden coaster but I did.

RENEGADE is incredible!!! Plus lines were super short and I rode Renegade over 20 times plus rode all the other coasters in the park a couple of times.

Great place for family's and thrill ride seekers! Went for a work event and really enjoyed it

The prices are highway robbery for sure unless you enjoy paying $53 to get in then an additional $12 to park , $5 for a simple 20oz soda , $4.50 for a bottle of water and the kicker....having people cut right in front of you while waiting in line because they've fed into Valleyfairs greedy ways and purchased a Fast Lane pass which i feel should be discontinued along with all of Valleyfairs pick pocket schemes !!! Valleyfair puts the fun in funnel the money from your pocket and into theirs !! HIGHWAY ROBBERY IS ALL VALLEYFAIR HAS BECOME !

Their new focus on being family-oriented and trying to illicit nostalgia is just a shoddy attempt at hiding that they have completely abandoned large scale thrill rides. They used to be cutting edge with new thrill rides every couple years at least and they now haven't had a new one since 2007. Their prices just keep skyrocketing and Cedar Parks has apparently been funneling its profits to its sister parks instead.

Fun time! They need to pay better attention to the supplying and cleaning of the bathrooms.
