Best Bet for Your Preschooler

Treasure Island Kids' Play Area and Pool is a pirate-themed water playground with a miniature pirate ship, slides, and water cannons designed by parents for little children. The water is shallow and shaded but open-sun seating is provided around the edge of the pool.

Best Bet for Your Whole Family

Families can bring their own food to the park and claim a picnic table early in the day, and can also take advantage of one of the several lodging options located right inside the park. (For lodging fees and availability, check the Web site.)

At the entrance to each attraction, there is an informational sign with ride descriptions, thrill ratings, and skills required for riding. You and your family will be able to decide what the ride experience will be like and who it would be suitable for before riding. You can choose from low-speed or shallow-water attractions, moderate thrill rides, aggressive-ride action, and high-thrill or deep-water action.
