LITTLE AMERRICKA AMUSEMENT PARK

 

 

 

This is a great, old fashioned, well kept and immaculate, family owned amusement park full of a ton of cool rides for the kids.  This is a day the kids will remember for a long time!  We recommend that you start at the unirail ride so that you can get an overview of the entire park and all the rides.  They have recently built The Meteor, a throwback to the great, past wooden roller coasters like the ones that you rode when you were a kid.   There’s a great 3 mile train ride where you’ll see ostriches, sheep, bulls, horses, zebras, and other animals.  In the October, there is a Halloween Pumpkin Train at Little Merricka.  This is a great fall outing with the kids.   For one price, you get the 3 mile train ride and in the middle of the ride, each person gets to pick out a pumpkin to keep from a wonderful pumpkin patch.
