www.FredericksburgParent.NET 29 Rides-wise, I think we got our money's worth. The bumper cars looked abandoned, but when I asked an employee they sent someone over there to turn it on for us. It wound up being a lot of fun! (But then, it's pretty hard to screw up bumper cars.) My son went to the climbing walls and scaled pretty much every one. Important note: to do the climbing walls or ropes course, you need to be wearing sneakers. My son could do it but the rest of us were wearing boots and couldn't go (much to my niece's disappointment). The highlight of the rides, however, were the go-karts. There wasn't any line. It seemed like a slow day, plus it was cold outside, so not many people ventured out to the go-karts. I took the first round in an adult kart, complete with passenger seat that my 4-year- old daughter gleefully occupied. The throaty grumble of the dinky engine mixed with my kid's delighted giggles was a soundscape that lifted my spirit. After that (since they don't let kid karts and adult karts drive at the same time), my son and niece took their turn. That was the closest thing to real driving either of them had done. They were nervous but rose to the occasion, puttering around the track a dozen times without incident. We closed out the afternoon with a visit to the prize wall and consumption of the aforementioned pizza. The pizza was expectedly mediocre, but the kids didn't care. The prize wall was vast and varied, and the kids loaded up on candy (Cow Tales and Starbursts). All in all, Fun Land was reasonably fun, if a bit understaffed. It's a decent enough way to spend a couple hours on a rainy or cold day if you don't mind the noise and the cost. I suggest figuring out what you want to do before you head over, so you don't have to decide where your money goes at the spur of the moment. There's lots of stuff to do, but it all costs you. So, make sure to set clear expectations with your kids on what you will and won't be doing.
