Fun Spot: a Disney/Universal alternative

Fun Spot is a small attraction with "County Fair" attractions such as Go Karts, a ferris wheel, and few other kiddy rides. It is celebrating it's 10th Anniversary and is still a cheaper option than Disney. The girls, 10 and 11 y/o respectively enjoyed it and had a lot of fun, it will only entertain them about another year or two.

The small amusement park is showing its age and is in need of a makeover; and at $34.95 per, less than half the price of the mega-parks in Orlando, one would expect nicer facilities. But, it had some nice perks, such as FREE parking (WDW and Universal should take notice), free sodas ALL DAY, and friendly staff (even though some of them looked so bored I kept checking their safety-check routine out of habit). The game room makes the big McDonald's game-room on International Drive look pathetic and it was easier to accumulate tickets for prizes. So, in conclusion, this blogger gives Fun Spot value a C+ or B-; giving my daughters quality time with Daddy: PRICELESS.
