We visited this park with boys ages 4, 7 and 9. The concept should have appealed to all of them but it's just not inviting. The "acts" are some what in bad taste, with the bad guys being drunks, a person shot being placed in a coffin (just too graphic) and not funny. Most of the facility isn't staffed, so... More

Sounds good from afar, but has not been updated or improved since the 1970's. A poor value, go to Space Farms instead.

I have a picture of me in their stage coarch from the mid-50's. They have grown with the times and still offer a piece of The West that deserves a visit.

SO much fun for kids 8 and under. Replica of an old west town. They do a show for the kids and the kids are all deputized so that they can bring the bad guy in and put him in jail.

This is an old cowboy town recreation area - there is a blacksmith, sheriff station, one room school house, lots of old 1800's history. The shoot out in town is great fun ---but anti-gun folks should keep clear, this is the WILD WEST we're talking here (haha). It was a bit dated and in need of cleaning up when we... More

I'm shocked at the number of people calling WWC "overpriced". It's $13.50 entry with FREE parking. Where else can you go now a days where the parking isn't $5 to $10? It's $3 extra for the train and stage coach ride. That's $19.50 per person for 3-6 hours depending on how much you're enjoying it compared to a movie which... More

We recently went with our two grandsons. We had been there about 25 years ago with our children. Doesn't look like the place changed at all - except it's a great deal worse for wear! Nothing is maintained. The town store looked like it had inventory from 25 years ago: packages covered with dust and ripped. The "shows" were a... More
