Tell me about Valleyfair...

We are considering a jaunt slightly South to Valleyfair and I am looking for advice, tips, opinions…

It’s a pretty standard amusement park. In recent years they have added a lot of water attractions so wearing a swimsuit is a good idea.

I like it but I don’t know that it’s better than adventureland or six flags or whatever amusement parks are nearest to you.

Get coupons before you go or find discount tickets. It’s ridiculously expensive to get in and you also have to pay for parking on top of that (So carpool if you’re going in a group). My work offers discount tickets ($27 instead of $42 dollars). You can also do starlight admission which is a better deal unless you like to marathon it there all day.

If you want to get on rides pretty quickly, go to the back of the park, rides like Excalibur tend to have short lines.
