Other park's food prices were painful

I just want to thank you for having such a wonderful park and all you do for the community.

I realized what a blessing you are this past spring break. We drove down to visit my husband's parents in Florida and one of the days we went to Sea World as our 'big' vacation attraction. My in-laws bought the tickets for all of us (we have 6 kids) and spent almost $500.00. Ouch! There was no way we could have afforded that. I wasn't that impressed with what I saw for what it cost. Then,when we went to eat lunch in the park and my jaw hit the ground. $6.00 for a plain hot dog, $1.75 for a small bag of chips and $2.99 for a soda! I didn't even order food for myself, I just decided to eat my kids scraps and we made them share drinks.

I couldn't even enjoy myself for feeling like the park was robbing us. We wound up leaving early because we didn't want to pay to eat supper in the park. It was ridiculous.

It made me realize how lucky we are to have such a nice, clean, friendly park in our area that is affordable too.

I thank you also for the generosity you show to the community. I know you sponsor special events to help the disabled and as fund-raisers for great causes. I know when my father ran The Outpost camp down the road from you that you were always kind and generous in you dealings with him. My older children love that they get to go to Holiday World at the end of the school year with the servers from church. They are excited this year because we are going to go as family this summer.

I was looking at the food prices on your website and I'm glad to know that I will be able to afford to let my kids stay at the park the whole day and not leave before supper time!

You are good people and you do the community a great service by providing such a wonderful park.

Thank you!!!!
Beth B.
