18 Holes of Mini-Golfedit
Two 9-hole miniature golf intertwine with Grand Prix Go-Kart Raceway and the waterpark. This park once had three 9-hole miniature golf courses but one was removed in early 2010 to make space for an arcade expansion that included more arcade games and indoor bowling lanes.
The park has a large arcade that houses over 130 arcade games, prize vending games, ticket redemption games, the Rock Wall and entrance to Laser Tag.
