I think this is probably the most affordable theme park that offers rides of every thrill level for the whole family. There are rides for little ones in Camp Snoopy, water rides, roller coasters for the thrill seekers and there are actually a lot of educational opportunities at this park. Especially if you're looking for something with a Wild West/ Native American theme.
The first time I took LC, he was 4. The rides in Camp Snoopy are fairly small(cars that go a round in a loop, airplanes that fly in a circle, etc.). You can find some of the same rides when the fair comes to town. But this is exactly the kind of thing 4 year olds love. And because they're simple and in full view, you can let them go on it by themselves while you watch from the sidelines and cheer them on, take pictures, etc. His absolute favorite was Woodstock's Airmail- which is a mini version of Supreme Scream. They even have a child sized roller coaster for the smallest thrill seeking guests that are 36" or taller.
For the older kids and adults in the family, there are several roller coasters and thrill rides.
Don't forget to check out the educational opportunities through out the park. LC's favorite was the Calico Railroad where he got to ride on a full size train, and deal with the bandits on board trying to steal every one's valuables! They also have great shows that incorporate Native American traditions or show how things were handled in the Wild West.
As a bonus, the park is hardly ever crowded. (I've been told that Knott's meets it's budget off of their Halloween Haunt promotion and the rest of the year is icing on the cake).
