The Hills
I love the Catskills Mountains but I wouldn’t build a theme park on it. The hills going through Miniland are a lot; though the mini cities are a marvel, sometimes you just want to go to the rides (excuse me, my kids want to go to the rides). There is no fast way down (with a stroller); I actually seen people going off-road…downhill. I took the stroller downhill too (after meandering through the Lego cities); my kids enjoyed the off roading. The park has NO apple juice…bring your own. The only apple juice we found was at the coffee shop (which is up the hill). And once you go down the hill, the only time your going back up is to exit. The dining hall in the middle of the park, only has…Pizza and pasta; that’s right, no fries, no burgers, no dogs, no tenders…and no apple juice. My kids are 3 and 5, they need their apple juice; they don’t drink soda and lemon aid…so we settled for…ice cream. Not even the hot dog vender had fries. I was told if I wanted fries, I had to go to the 2 opposite sides of the theme park. We stayed the night…the themed rooms were cool, my kids love the bunk bed area. However, the walls are extremely thin…we went to bed with the kids at 8:40. We heard everyone on our floor, go into their rooms, walk (and run) down the hall, talk, laugh, and ice cooler wheels (maybe they bought their own apple juice…but how did they make it back up the hill?). Overall, we enjoyed the park. You MUST get the Reserve & Ride…that’s the only way to enjoy; don’t be cheap. If not, you will be waiting in a long hot line, watching my family skip up, get on, enjoy, then skip to the next ride (while you still wait). We really enjoyed the resort pool at the hotel, but no fries or apple juice! I had to towel off and get both from inside at the bar. The pool had no wait service; so we (I) had to shelp our food back to our chairs…I’m not a octopus so I had to make 2 trips (not including the trip to the bar for fries and apple juice). Oh, I forgot to mention that they welcomed us with nice apple juice boxes in our hotel room…so they DO know kids drink apple juice. I have so much more to say but my thumb is tired.
