"Gorgeous"
We had a ton of fun here. It was a nice cool place on a hot day to visit. The guides were extremely informed and willing to share anything. The hardest part for small children is waiting if they are busy. We went on a day they happened to be slightly busy and they take you in groups, we had to wait for the second group which made the toddlers a little stir crazy, but the older kids just browsed the gift shoppe which was nice and pretty inexpensive. Recommend stopping by here on yor trip

"Older kid oriented"
We had alot of fun here, but had no small children with us. I wouldn't recommend this park if you have younger kids with you. For older kids there are several go kart tracks, mini golf, arcade, and my favorite the rock climbing wall. We had blast spending the afternoon here racing and playing games. Food is not the greatest, def. arcade food. May want to hit lunch before the park and just get a snack there.

"Different and fun"
We love to do putt-putt on vacation, but often you find courses with the same concept just a different animal or ship etc. Hillbilly golf was very different. You rode a little incline up to the top of a hill and played down the hill. Was a little challenging, but a total blast. Truely reminded me of beverly hillbillies. Would def recommend this especailly if you have children older than toddler/preschool age.

"Fun for all"
They have tons of exhibits and seem to always be updating. Older kids love the sports complex. Lets them run and burn off energy. They have a blast rock climibing or pitching a baseball. Smaller kids may have trouble with some of the stuff in this area. The last time we were there they had a huge area where very soft foam balls were dumped or shot out of things. Preschoolers and older kids alike had a blast with this! We all love the submarine, but if you have a hard time with small places beware. Great fun for all. Food Court is expensive, eat before you go or pack a lunch and have fun:)

"Busy and not a great area"
You always want to hit the pool on a hot day, hot days here are so busy you can barely ride the water slides and such. The kiddy area is alot of fun and parents can lounge and just watch them if they are old enought to go on their own. Not great for toddler/preschool age. Lazy river is great for adults but kids dont find it as much fun so if you pair up with another family maybe the dads can watch the kids and moms can ride the river or vice versa. The park itself seems very safe, but overall is in a location that is not the best for crime and such. Always a concern for me especially with young kids. Also, check pepsi cans or local grocers usually coupons out for admission.
