Amusement Parks

A theme park is an attraction which is usually orientated around rides or 'experiences' of some sort, and often has a 'Theme' such as Wild West or Fairy Tales. Often the biggest attractions are white knuckle or thrill rides, although many also offer gentler rides for young children, and most also have family entertainment such as boating lakes or mini-golf areas.
