As a local, this is perfect for children ages 2-6, great for family members in your party who want to go to the beach and not an amazement park to entertain the children. The ride is only about 2 hours long and if you have older kids who want to go to the beach instead with an adult in your party they can walk across the street. On top of it, if you wish to keep your car at the property you can park there for the whole day for only $5. (this price may change depending on the season but will still be less then parking around the area)
