Why you should go…

Dutch Wonderland opened in 1963 and calls itself "A Kingdom for Kids," with a 48-acre layout aimed at families with younger children. You enter through a stone castle built by founder Earl Clark, a potato farmer. The park has 32 rides, including the wooden Kingdom Coaster and the inverted Merlin's Mayhem, along with a monorail and train. Duke's Lagoon adds water slides and a play platform, and Exploration Island has animatronic dinosaurs.
