I haven't been there in about 20 years!

It used to be great-rides, food, games, haunted house. I remember doing sand art and spin art. There website is down, but I can tell you that whenever I drive by, it is always packed with people. My cousins still go there.

It's called Adventureland now. It still has the same rides etc. and people still take their kids. My friend's facebook status said that she had a great time there yesterday.Chat Icon

We took DS to Nellie Bly last year. It was OK - a little run down, but he still had fun.

We went to Adventureland on Rte 110 this year and it was way better for hom.

I heard it was good for kids under 5. Is that true? Adventureland is for older kids, no?

Like Snickers said, it's not called Nellie Bly anymore, but I'm going to call it that forever, lol.

We were there July 4th weekend. DD is only big enough for the carousel but she loved it and she rode it 3 times. Chat Icon Next year she'll be able to ride everything (she's only 18 months now) and by the time she's 10 she'll be too old for it.

Is she over 34 inches tall? That was the minimum for most of the rides.
