Oaks Amusement Park

Oaks Park is a place of joy and nostalgia! Lots of parking and only $4! I remember coming here over the summer so many years ago. We visited again over Easter weekend and the park is just as I remember it! It’s quaint, fun, and fun by our community. My little sister had a blast. We didn’t have to wait at all for tickets. The lines were nonexistent so she would loop back around to ride again. We made sure to purchase souvenirs and drinks. It’s not Disneyland or Universal but it’s ours here in the PNW.

We came here for the ScareGrounds which we had purchased tickets for in advance. The side ticket shows was not quite what we had expected, but we were still able to do some fun activities. We purchased VIP so we did not have to wait in what looked to be about 30 minute lines. The actual ride selection at the amusement park was limited and there was only ride that we wanted to go on, which I could not ride due to size. Rather than purchasing a $40 bracelet we got a single ride ticket for $13. The carousel and the mini train ride are free to ride. We found parking easily and used the website to pay and skip waiting at the kiosk. Overall a fun little amusement park but nothing special especially for guests of larger size.

Oaks Park, located just 3mi south of downtown, is a small amusement park that has been operating since 1905, making it one of the oldest running amusement parks in the U.S. On the 4th of July, we decided to walk there since it's not directly accessible by public transportation. However, we got stranded on our way back due to the lack of transport. Thankfully, two kind strangers offered us a ride. While I didn’t get a chance to make new friends because I was busy enjoying the rides, my roommate did—she opted out of the rides since she doesn't like them. The pictures are from our walk on the way to the amusement park. This spot is often used for small corporate gatherings, including those by Moda Health.

Fun, lots to do kids had a blast. Could use a few more roller coasters. Kids rode a lot of the same rides over and over again, but we were there from shortly after open till end of day. My big complaint is the fun rides are not accessible to large people for reference I'm 6'4" and 🫣 330lbs I was just to big for the cost to push in hips and waist were to big. The spinning swinging ride I was to broad shoulder the over the head things could not push down low enough to close.

This review is for the new light show they offer. It is horrible. The only light tunnel is the entrance where they take your ticket. Pro tip- if you park in the back parking lot you can just walk in for free along the train tracks. Golf is an extra $20. I grew up living oaks park, but as a parent now, I would not send anyone here at all. Also the 1 open bathroom was flooded out. Massive rip off.
