Valley fair is a great place to spend your hot summer days. They have a nice selection of food, drinks, rides and waterslides to choose from. Security is quick and understanding. My party was being harassed by this group of teenage boys. I didn't even report them to security or an employee but when I got off the ride security was there and asked me questions about them. Some of the employees are really observant and understanding. I never caught his name but this past summer there was a black male who had to be 17-25. He was super hype and fun. He got everyone on the rollercoaster cheering and chanting and had so much energy! Everytime I saw him he was working at the renegade. I loved him so much he deserves a raise for his hard work! On the other hand some of the employees aren't. My friends and I left to eat our late lunch/dinner in my car and we went back in after. There is a new age policy that I like to keep the pre-teens out without parent supervision after a certain point. But because my friends and look young and we forgot about this rule we got asked for our ID. But this man was extremely rude. Raising his voice at us and when one of my friends didn't have his ID on him he got very aggressive with us. I understand the need for our ID but the aggressive nature of this employee was absolutely unnecessary. There are some other employees that have gotten passive aggressive comments and eye rolls.

Super fun, thrilling and exciting! Great place to spend time with friends or family. I have been to many theme parks and Valleyfair is one of my favourite parks!

We love Valleyfair! Season passes are a must - it pays itself off in less than two visits! Free parking (normally $25) for pass holders and a ton of discounts offered all season long on merch and food/drinks. We purchased the season long refillable drink cup and were hydrated all day at the parks with free refills every 15 minutes. The water park is so refreshing on those hot summer days, plenty of seating can be found throughout the water park as well as a ton of food and drink options (including adult beverages!) many days were spent this summer enjoying live music and cooling off on the wave pool. I cannot say enough good things about the park, new security measures and curfew/chaperone policies were put into place this year and our family felt safe and had a great time all summer long. We also went to their Halloween tricks and treats event with the passes, highly recommend that if you have little ones. Trick or treat trail, crafting stations, live shows, and a costume contest- It was a great time!

Took my family here the first week of September. And half of everything was closed. 75% of fountain pop was out, soveneir cups were out. What a joke. When did all the games start charging sales tax. Same priced admission, though. The whole state of Minnesota is just a corrupt taxation of everything. Save your money and go somewhere better. Preferably where they don't tax you and charge extra on everything.

Week days are the best to go to avoid lines and parking delays. However, my son and I bought the refillable cups and could not use them at any restaurant because of all the bees inside and out of every drinking fountain or buisness we went to. We are very allergic and they are everywhere. So we only got about five rides in and had to leave because of having nothing to drink. I saw plenty of people brave the bees to get their soda or water, but it can not be sanitary to have them flying in and out of the soda lines.

I love ValleyFair. My kids always have a great time. They have all the attractions and the water park. 2x1. I went for the corn fest last weekend and they have delicious food. Me encanta Valleyfair. Mis hijos siempre la pasan bien y tienen un parque de diversiones y parque de agua. Yo fui al festival del maíz y la comida es deliciosa.

I let my 18 year old take his brother and a friend for there for the first time alone for a birthday. They went at about 3. They went to eat in the parking lot and tried to get back in since they went through the proper protocol to leave and were told they can't get back in because of a new age policy. It's really frustrating that this new age policy isn't posted (or at least very visibly) at the exit. I would have went with or had them do things differently if I knew about this policy. It was a lot of money for just a couple of hours.

Took the family to Valleyfair today. For a family of 5 it's not an inexpensive day. The weather was rainy earlier in the day so we waited a little longer knowing the forecast was showing things would clear up. Sure enough as expected the sun came out and the temps increased. To our surprise Valleyfair announced they would be closing for inclement weather. They close early when the weather was just getting nice. So disappointing to venture here and spend the money we did for Valleyfair to decide their profitability that day was more important than paying guests. At least cut the prices & $25 parking in half for guests in situations like this.
I always coming to Valleyfair every summer! I am a rollercoaster fanatic. I recommend buying your tickets ahead of time since it is cheaper online and recommend buying the parking pass online too. I recommend carpooling if possible too. There's plenty of parking and you honestly don't need the preferred parking. As far as rides here is what I recommend to go to right away: 1. Wild Thing 2. Renegade - this is very fast and loud so do not recommend for little kids. 3. Steelvenom 4. Corkscrew Rides that can visited throughout the day 1. Excalibur - its in the back of the park so it does get miss 2. High roller - line is always long but it's not worth the wait if the line is very long but it is family friendly. 3. Xtreme swing When it comes to the waterpark, there are lockers there if you want a place to secure your wallet, phones, keys, etc. The locker room is spacious but not the cleanest so recommend wearing your swimsuit before you get there. 1. For rides at the waterpark I highly recommend hurricane falls and it can fit up to 4 people so great for groups. It's really fun but can only have one group go at a time so the line moves slow! Otherwise there's a variety of waterslides, the wave pool, raging rapids. For food there's a variety of foods, there's more variety at the front by the entrance! It's very fun and love visiting every time!

I was at Valleyfair a week ago. I have been to Valleyfair many times, starting when I was in college and taking my kids there when they were growing up so was looking forward to taking my niece there when she was visiting. Unfortunately, this was not the park I remember. When we arrived, the good things were that there was no line to get in and the park was not busy, so there were not lines to get on many of the rides. My niece enjoyed meeting the characters - Snoopy, Lucy, Charlie Brown, and Linus. This is where the positives end. Many of the rides were run down. We went on the Wave to cool down as it was a hot day. On impact of the descent of this ride, my rib hit the lap bar so hard that the foam detached from the metal bar. I told the attendant about this and they just responded "oh." I initially thought I had just knocked the wind out of me but the pain progressed and I ended up going to urgent care where I was diagnosed with a fractured rib. I decided to contact Valleyfair to file an incident report. It has now been a week and I have been unsuccessful in talking to anyone. The phone rings and rings with no one answering. I filed an email and received an automated response that someone would get back to me and no one has. I finally reached a live person by calling group reservations and they transferred me to guest services. They told me they talked to their manager and safety manage and that someone would get back to me. No one has. Overall, the customer services is terrible and despite having a person that is in the role of safety manager, it does not feel that safety is a priority or a concern. I will not go back.

Breakers Bay Cabana service sucks. Took us 3 hours to get our food we ordered through the waiter. Multiple times we flagged him/them down and was told 5 mins at least 3 times. We get it, it's busy so we tried being patient. Finally my husband went to the restaurant and asked where our food was and said he will wait for it. Nope! Said they will bring it in 5 mins as it's being cooked "right now." An hour later still nothing. He went back and said stop with the BS. He said "if you haven't cooked my order, cancel it or I am waiting for it." Finally gave him the very expensive tender platter we ordered for our very hangry kiddos who have been waiting around for food. Granted, we went and ordered fries and burgers in the mean time to tie them over. Poor service from staff all around. No offense but it's just young kids who are working seasonally with no customer service experience. Unsatisfied season pass holders. Do not recommend.

The water park is closed and if you click the link for hours it displays hours of 9:30 to 5:30pm with soak city on top of page. Guest services have been absolutely rude and uncommunicative when I reached out via phone and also through email. The entire family came for water park and only to find it closed and valley fair not offering any kind of apology.
