Good, regional fun
I went to Beech Bend with my fiance and our 2 1/2 year old. We got discounted tickets from a local gas station (JR. Foodstore), and I thought the price was very reasonable for a theme park. When we got there, some of the employees were a bit rude, but most of them were not and wanted to be very helpful. I thought the food was bit high in price for the quality we recieved and there wasn't much to choose from. Next time, I would just pack a lunch for us and eat in the parking lot. Free parking, drinks, and sunscreen was all very convenient, but we couldn't find very many sunscreen stations. The rides did seem a bit carnival, but the KY Rumbler rollercoaster was AWESOME, and they had plenty of rides for my son. They also had cute little extras like the petting zoo and the game room. The water park was a very nice relief too! Tons of play areas for our son, a wave pool, slides, a lazy river, and a regular swimming pool definitely helped us cool off. My only complaint about the pool area is the dressing room and restrooms were gross. We went during the week and the park was not crowded at all. We didn't have to wait for any of the rides to open up. We had a ton of fun the day we went, and I'd definitely recommend it to those that live close to it (up to an hour away) to visit. It's a great little regional place, and we will definitely go again.
