I love ValleyFair! Not only have a visited the park since I was a kid, but I also worked there one summer! The price to get in is NOT bad. There are so many coupons available from eateries such as Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. They also USED to run a promo where you brought in a Pepsi product can and you received $10 off! They also do a food drive in the fall and if you bring in a non-perishable food item, you receive a dollar amount off! There have been 3 new rides added in the past 4 years (since 2002). You USED to be able to come and go from the park, so if you want to pack a lunch and eat at the picnic cove its much cheaper. they don't allow outside food or drink in, which is understandable. i recommend the tacos. they have a great taco stand near the high roller rollercoaster (the white coaster). they also have yummy chicken on the patio. the waterpark is super fun and included in the price. Yes, you pay for parking but you also pay for parking at baseball/football/basketball games...so i say quit complaining. :) I recently went to Busch Gardens and it cost $8 to park and over $50 to enter. Valleyfair is cheap and very fun!!!!
Pros: parking, friendly staff, safe
Cons: weekends tend to be busiest
