And this is pretty much what I emailed to customer service, let's see if I get a reply. Let me just first say for the most part, the experience was pretty good. The park was clean and our kids really enjoyed Duke’s Lagoon. A couple things that made our day a bit difficult were *Height requirement signs posted say “must... More

We visited DW over the weekend and had a really good time. The park offers a lot for young kids and my daughter was happy and worn out by the end of the day. The trees make it nice and comfortable on a hot, sunny day and it's there are benches everywhere to relax if needed. The ride attendants were... More

I just wrote this to DW to recap our visit today: Dear Dutch Wonderland, While we still think you have a wonderful park and it is well kept and great for the kids, we have to tell you how disappointed we were by part of our visit today. Our first time ever to DW was last summer, 2012, when our... More

We took our 3 year old daughter to Dutch Wonderland on 6/12/13 and really cant wait to go back! This place is absolutely perfect for younger children. The park was very clean, well managed and the staff was super friendly. There were very short lines for the rides and we were able to stay on most rides for a do... More

Just went to DW a few days ago. We usually go 2-3 times a year with our daughter. She is now 3.5 years old and loves this place. Well sized park for small children (not too big to overwelm small kids and tire them out walking everywhere). The price is cheaper than bigger parks in the area but a 3... More

DW is light on thrills but heavy on distractions. Most rides are carnival-style, but they are close together and great ways to figure out if your little one can handle them. The Kingdom Coaster is a tame and smooth old wooden coaster, and was also not too much for my 5-year-old. Food is nothing special, except that they have Dole... More

The kids had a blast. Good rides for littler kids. Very expensive though. Have to pay extra for almost everything- face painting, lockers, duck food, pony rides, booth games, etc.

This amusement park is just right for younger kids. It's not too big and has a good mix of rides and shows. It is clean and well maintained.
