Fantasy Island Amusement Park
Fantasy Island is a place for rides, games, arcades, food and ice cream. Fantasy Island is a more family orientated place so the rides aren't exactly "extreme thrillers". The amusement park offers rides such as a merry-go-round, bumper cars, the "Sea Dragon", tea cups, drop tower, and more. Although Fantasy Island is a fun and entertaining place, they do not offer large roller coasters.
Admission, entertainment: free; rides: 75¢/token, 3-5 tokens/ride; arcade: games vary, but use quarters
