We took the ride up the mountain on the chair lift to check out the fall colors. The wait time was acceptable being a Saturday, around 40 to 45 minutes. The ticket price was reasonable and the leaf colors were at peak.

Wonderful water park with a wide variety of activities to choose from, such as the petting zoo, old school feeling amusement rides, to the multiple fun water slides to enjoy. A true hidden gem in a small town. Would highly recommend spending the day here and riding the small gondola lift which you loops you around the park for an aerial view or catching the train to the back of the park to enjoy more water rides. Or walking through the story book land for kids.

I love everything about this place... the employees, the atmosphere, the BREWS! I always start with a sampler flight to try out their new stuff. Reasonable prices, lots of IPA's if that's your thing. nd if you want to bring some home, no growler needed - they can it! Pretty cool. It's so close to the water park, I suspect many a father has escaped the screaming children to seek refuge and a cold beer...
