Valleyfair
A large Midwestern amusement park with more than a dozen roller coasters and a water park. It is very popular on summer weekends.
Valleyfair is located on the Minnesota River in Shakopee and is owned by the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. It has more than a dozen roller coasters, including "The Beast" and "Mighty Mouse" for thrill-seekers, along with the attached water park "Cork Bay." It operates seasonally, from late May to October. In autumn, it hosts Halloween-themed scare nights on weekends. Tickets are cheaper when purchased online. It is about 40 km from Minneapolis, so a car is needed.
