Great place to visit with the family. This theme park is a wild west adventure geared mostly for elementary and middle school-aged children. They offer a historic steam locomotive, live entertainment, amusement rides, gold panning, and Deer Park Zoo. Don't miss out on the Ghost Train for Halloween and the Tweetsie Chrismas pass either.
