I had only been to ValleyFair once before for the Halloween event. Which takes place at night, is great fun but most of the rides are not open. So some of my friends and I went to the park this weekend, this way I could try it out in the daytime. We did do the after 4 p.m. tickets which worked out quite well for us. The park is open to 11 p.m. in the summer on Saturday so it's more than enough time to hit all the rides. Some of the coasters are just nuts. Such as the Wild Thing and the wooden coaster, Renegade. Really it's a good deal of fun. You should check it out. Plus, there is fireworks. I can definitely feel the aftermath on my back as an old lady.....
