My family and I enjoy the fact that there is an amusement park within the city just outside of the downtown area. The Valleyfair Amusement Park has everything for the family to enjoy, including bumper boats, rollercoasters, snacks and everything else you would expect for a day of quality fun together. Next to it is the Soak City Park for those extra hot days, too.
