点评:My older daughter used to go to Paul Bunya Land when she visited her grandparents, who live in Minnesota. My wife, younger daughter, and I had never experienced the place ourselves, though. So, while we were vacationing in the Brainerd area, we decided to check the place out.
Admission to the park was approximately $25 per person, which cost our family of four a little over $100 to visit. However, most of the rides and other activities are covered once you’re inside the amusement park. As you enter the park, you’re literally greeted by a ~30’ tall Paul Bunyan statue, who sits there for photo opportunities and conversation. Our kids had mixed responses to him talking, but it was a pretty cool feature.
Rides are what you’d expect to see at your standard traveling carnival, but everything was well-maintained and in working order. Lines were reasonable for the different rides, and the biggest delays were due to staff being double-booked to cover more than one area at a time. However, despite being mildly busy, the staff members were polite and patient with the kids (and parents).
Petting zoo was nice as well, although it could have used some cleaning and care. There’s also a “village” area, which has numerous buildings filled with knick-knacks and antiquities. Village was worth checking out as a break from the rides, but I’d probably not spend extra time and money on it if it weren’t already included with the admission.

公园的门票大约是每人 25 美元,我们一家四口花了 100 多美元。但是,一旦进入游乐园,大多数游乐设施和其他活动都已包含在内。当你进入公园时,你会看到一个大约 30 英尺高的保罗·班扬雕像,他坐在那里拍照和聊天。我们的孩子对他的谈话反应不一,但这是一个非常酷的特色。
游乐设施就是你在标准旅行嘉年华上期望看到的,但一切都维护良好,运转正常。不同游乐设施的排队时间合理,最大的延误是由于工作人员被双重预订,一次负责多个区域。然而,尽管有点忙,工作人员对孩子(和家长)还是很有礼貌和耐心的。
宠物动物园也很不错,虽然它需要一些清洁和护理。还有一个“村庄”区域,那里有许多建筑物,里面摆满了小摆设和古董。村庄值得一看,可以作为游乐设施之外的休息,但如果它不是包含在门票中,我可能不会花额外的时间和金钱在上面。
