Had lost of fun with the kids spending the day there. We were there on a weekday and it was crowded. Early morning when the park opened, there were no wait lineups, but noon onwards, it was an hour wait for some rides. Highly recommend for kids between 5 and 10 years old.
I planned to spend a couple hours turned out to be a full day. If you have younger kids aged 4 to 10 they will have a blast all day long.
Pack your water a change of clothes and get ready for fun. It can be very busy but i was under prepared and quite excited to speand the full day for a 1st time visit. You will love it

Place was awesome. So much greenery and freedom to walk and browse. I loved how everything was catered to the environment instead of knocking down nature for human enjoyment. The rides were perfect for our 4yo and pricing was within reason. Would recommend avoiding ferry or leaving early-ish to avoid the wait times
LIFE HACK: if you want free rides, go to the line up area for the ferry. In that area, there will be tons of all access bracelets on the ground. Just grab one of those, and boom! Free rides for life baby! All jokes aside, this is a very fun experience for young children but I wouldn’t recommend it for kids over 11 years old. The ferry lines are long, and overall, the rides aren’t that good(except for the scrambler)
Visited this place with my family last Saturday. You have to buy a ticket to ride the rides, and if you don't get on the rides, you can go around freely. The rides are good for small children to ride. 5 years old - around the lower elementary grades. My soon-to-be middle-aged son bought an all-day ticket, but only rode three. It was a pity that there were no rides like Wonderland. But I was able to rest quietly and it was nice to have a picnic.
I visited Center Island on a Sunday of the long weekend and took the ferry to get there. The ferry ride was reasonable both in terms of cost and convenience, and I'd recommend purchasing tickets online for a smoother experience. However, the return trip had an unreasonable wait, especially with kids in tow, though I suppose that's in line with the price. Water taxis were an alternative option, but at $13.50 per passenger each way, they weren't the most cost-effective choice. The rides on the island weren't exceptional, and the prices for kids were a bit steep, but they did seem to enjoy them. The food quality was rather low, but I hadn't expected much in that department. On the plus side, beer prices were reasonable. Despite the drawbacks, I'd still recommend a visit, especially if you've never been, as it provides a unique experience.
A rainy start on a weekday made all the difference! No lineups (except the Ferris wheel) made for a fun day for a 2 1/2 year old. The only downside was a statement we read that said as long as there’s an adult, a child can ride and that’s not true. There are height restrictions so wait until they are at least 3 feet tall if you want to ride them all. We brought snacks but also bought lunch at the burger place and it was very reasonable. Cheaper than that Golden Arches place and much tastier. Splash pad was a great way to cool off later in the day. The farm animals and ducks were a hit. We were sad the train wasn’t running but all in all a successful day. One suggestion: have a separate line for prepaid customers.
