Conneaut Lake Park

"my trip to Conneaut Lake Park. I visited on 8/26/16. Conneaut is like a diamond in the rough. It doesn't have the latest technology or thrill rides like the more popular amusement parks but it does have the old fashioned feel to it and takes one back to simpler times. The park is small enough that one doesn't get tired from walking. Improvements have been made to the parks infrastructure. Most of the rides were operating and the water park is opened. The water park is a wonderful attraction in the park. It is small enough to keep track of your kids. There a lazy river, a huge kiddie pool with slide, and if you aren't afraid of heights, there is a 3 story tall water slide. There is a snack bar inside the water park along with picnic tables and umbrellas. A changing area is available inside the water park. Conneaut has just enough rides for those wanting to get a thrill. It is very affordable. For $10, one can ride all day long. The water park is extra. You will not find the crowds at Conneaut. Lines were non existent. I don't know how crowded the park gets on weekends. At larger amusement parks, one pays $45 and only gets to ride 5 or 6 rides because time is spent waiting in line. At Conneaut, we got our money's worth. Kiddie land has the basic rides and some oldies too like the Jolly Caterpillar. One nice addition are new bathrooms in Kidde Land. For adults, the Blue Streak remains a favorite for patrons. The Blue Streak is a classic wooden coaster built in 1938. Grown up rides include the Tumble Bug, Tilt a Whirl, bumper cars just to name a few. We all had a great time and made great memories. It is nice there is an affordable place to go without having to take out a second mortgage just so my kids can experience rides and thrills."
