Pros: Lots of rides for Teens, Preteens, Kids and kids-at-heart. Charming atmosphere, not corporate.
Cons: Sometimes waiting for rides takes a little long. A little dated--not brand-spanking new.

Pros: Rich History, Great Rides, Low cost, Easy-going atmosphere.
Cons: Some history erased or unmaintained. Always atleast one ride down for years maintence.
Summary: I love that place. Ever since my first time there. I happened to go just last night (8/05/04) and it is still my favorite Amusement park. No, it may not be "as big" or "as great" as Six Flags Elich Gardens... but then again, it is a Family owned ... read more

Pros: Fairly priced, not commercial/high-tech/snobby, pleasant surroundings, small (if any) lines
Cons: If you don't like a carnival atmosphere, it's not for you.

Pros: No one died this week
Cons: It is still in business
Summary: When I saw the section on Theme Parks, I kind of chuckled because we have a park here that no one in their right mind would go to. It is old, run-down and just plain scary! I perused the Theme Park section and, lo and behold, this park was in it! ... read more

Pros: For those who love art deco and inexpensive entertainment, this is your place!
Cons: Those who love modern amusements probably wouldn't appreciate this park.
Summary: Step back into time when you enter Lakeside Amusement Park. Lots of cool art deco, neon and classic rides. For the price it's a spectacular bargain and makes for a great evening out. Even the concession prices are unbelievably reasonable. A nice

Pros: Inexpensive, nostalgic, kid friendly
Cons: maintenance could be better
Summary: This is a fun and inexpensive place to take young children for their first amusement park experience. I brought my son there last summer when he was 2 years old. We stayed in Kiddieland except to visit the main park for the classic carousel ride and the
