Chipper's Preschool Rides Party

By Charlana Albios

Join Chipper at Oaks Amusement Park for summertime preschool parties on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the summer. For just $5.50, preschoolers under the age of 6 have access to all of the kids rides and many of the intermediate rides. The price of admission also includes story time and a snack.

Your preschooler will absolutely love the freedom they have to go on any ride they choose over and over again. From the “Jump Cycles” to the new and exciting “Rockin’ Tug,” they will have free reign over the rides without big kids getting in their way and parents telling them that they are out of ride tickets.

If your preschooler enjoys amusement park rides, but you despise paying amusement park prices, this is an inexpensive way to let your little thrill seeker get their fix. For a nominal charge, preschoolers can ride the rides as many times as they desire. If s/he needs the support of mom or dad on some of the more daring adventures, the attendants will permit an adult to accompany their preschooler.  

The snack bar is not open during Chipper's Preschool Rides Party, so be sure to bring snacks and beverages.
 

Some days are a lot busier than others, but it is still tolerable on even the busiest of days. If you’re trying to avoid the crowds, your best bet is to go once school has started in September.

 

I have heard parents comment that the guns should be removed from the "Skyfighters” ride. It doesn’t seem right to stand there and watch preschoolers ride around in a circle while aiming guns at each other and pretending to shoot. If this bothers you, I suggest not allowing your child to ride this particular ride.
