We just spent the long weekend at Darien Lake. It was the first time we had ever been. We camped with a bunch of other families. It was great. All the kids played together. We had a nice site among trees. And you could just walk to the theme park and get right in.
The park included something for everyone: roller coasters, children's rides, games, food, and a water park. We didn't have to worry about long lines, either. There was a firework and laser/music show at night. We did it all: campfire, s'mores, rides, swimming. My kids are 10, 8, and 5, and they all raved about it. They want to go every year!
Although I used to love roller coasters, I worried I was too old for them. However, my boys wanted me to go on The Viper roller coaster, and I did, and it was lots of fun. So I guess I'm not so old! And now I've got cred with the kids. (You've got to take it wherever you can get it.)
