    Cute little amusement park to let the little ones spend some time and be kids! Took my 6 year old son and he had THE BEST TIME! We went on a Monday so it was not very crowded. The staff was UNBELIEVABLY NICE and friendly! Only down side is that they do not have any restrooms or any snacks or sell water or drinks. Also it is VERY small there were only 6 rides open. The rides are 1 tickets each and each ticket costs $3.50 or you can buy a wrist band for $25.00 and they can ride as many times as they’d like from 11 am until 4 pm Monday through Thursday. I bought the wrist band and it was WORTH IT because my son went on the roller coaster AT LEAST 30 times. If the kids are over 42” they can ride alone if they are under 42” one parent is able to ride with them for free. Definitely recommend especially since the staff are so nice and professional.. Lastly there are restrooms by the ball field which is not very far from the amusement park, they are public restrooms so they are not very clean.

    This a very cute and very small amusement park geared towards younger kids under 7 or so. It’s next to the Queens Zoo and very close to the New York Hall of Science. For $25, your child can go unlimited times on all of the rides. Otherwise, you can purchase individual tickets for each ride ($3). There are about 7-8 rides and one game booth. My two-year-old nephew loved the small trains ride. He’s on the tall side and the staff made him go by himself since we didn’t have extra tickets for the adults. If you have children under the height limit, then the adults can ride for free. There’s also an old fashion carousel ride that goes very fast! It was a bit disconcerting how fast they make this carousel go. If you have young kids, I would suggest you place them go on one of the stationary horses or inside one of the carriages rather than on one of the horses that goes up and down. The only food option here is a hot dog stand and a Mister Softee van parked by the entrance of the amusement park. Overall, not a bad place to spend a couple of hours. There were just enough rides to keep my nephew happy. And we got to spend time at the park afterwards.

    It's clean and manageable, good for a quick round before or after the zoo which is just around the corner. You can buy bill tickets, 100 tickets and spread it out for the season. You can also get an all day pass, which is awesome if you have an off day to spend with you kids, non weekends and holidays for the pass.

    Fun of kids and even adults. Regular zoo with small petting zoo plus a little roller coaster with few other rides for kids. Inside the flushing meadows Corona park so you can do picnic too after the zoo.

    Great little spot for kiddie rides to combine with a Queens Zoo / Flushing Meadows Corona Park outing. The price per ride is very reasonable, only a few dollars. Note that the nearest bathroom is actually at the zoo.

    Yeah it’s not new or super exciting but this is a great place for younger kids. There’s a handful of rides, priced reasonably, plus they didn’t make the adults pay when accompanying a child. Didn’t feel like the money grab these places usually are. Staff was very nice. Bite sized amusement park, you can spend about two hours here and do it all.

    Fun place with the little kids. Definitely come on the weekdays when they have unlimited rides rather than pay per ride.

    It's small and only a few rides, but very busy, tourist visiting Corona park visits here, specially if they have children. There is no entry fees, but USD 4.25 requires for one person for one ride. There are green and natures around, so, good to view. Parking available and gig, but not enough. Some food carts, ice cream cart outside, they are cash only.

    Love it there!! Worth the buy of tickets . Each ride is about the most 2 tickets each kid, but usually 1 ticket and parents ride free if the child is in the yellow of height requirements . 1 ticket is i believe $4.25 we got 20 tickets for $70. The kids had fun . There's a merry-go-round, small dragon rollercoaster, round about cars, a small train, about 7 rides and 3 games to win stuffed animals . Basketball, water shooting game and the bottles you throw the rings . Worth it! Buy your own water though they have the carts selling $3 a bottle .

    Worst place ever. Some of the employees have an attitude for no reason. Especially the guy handling the roller coaster, with his butt on full display. He has a real nasty attitude. Even told the lady with her son in front of me after the ride was over that he wasn’t there to help her out of her seat. My initial interaction with him was when I asked him how many ticket and decided to reply with an attitude. No one is forcing you to be there. If you don’t want to work and deal with people then find another job. The girl working the tea cup also let the door open while the tea cup ride was in full operation. My son ran in through the door, and them proceeds to say something smart. I’m not sure if she knows is her responsibility to keep the doors to these ride closed until its finished so kids wont run in. I was trying to support this business, but I won’t be anymore after these incidents. Maybe train your employees more on social skills and dress code because the do lack a lot of it.

    Inexpensive, fun time with my 6 year old granddaughter. She had a ball. 8 different rides. Unlimited rides for children only $27 for wristband. Check out out!

  • 5/5 Derek H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for kids of all ages! So for the amusement park, it's 8 rides big, and each ride costs a single ticket. Pricing for tickets is a bit more than I would've imagined but the value is getting the unlimited ride wristband. $25 from whenever the park opens to 4pm. Not bad. A single ticket is $3.50. Getting 10 tickets is $30. It's a little pricey. What I loved was that if your child is under the minimum height, a parent can ride with them for free. So not only did my 2½ year old have a ton of fun, I got to experience that with him. Seeing his face light up is awesome. His clear favorite was the carousel. It was the one he went on multiple times. Also to quickly point out, staff was great, on point with making sure every child was strapped in, and made sure your child was at the minimum height to ride or a parent was needed. There are a few games, that also cost 1 ticket each (wristbands don't work for games), but it seems like there's only one person running that area at any time. There's also a merchandise table of a few bubble makers, a couple of animal themed masks, and a nice mix of inflatables, but I doesn't seem that anyone works there. You have to ask for the items at the ticket booth, pay there, and wait for someone to get whatever you're trying to get, unless they give you whatever's from the table. I can see that being a bit of a hassle from the perspective of a person in line waiting for tickets, and obviously from someone just wanting to buy stuff. Overall, my family loved it. Is it small? Yes, but it's in a location where there's other things to do. A short walk will get you to the science museum. Immediately next to the amusement park is the Queens Zoo. Then there's the greater surrounding park itself. Highly recommended.

    20 minutes from home. Went to celebrate a birthday party here. Very cute amusement park for younger kids. My daughter really enjoyed the roller coaster, tea cups, cars and so much more. They have a reserved section for small birthday parties. The park surrounding the amusement park was upbeat and full of life. Only downfall is parking around the area. We had to walk about 5 minutes but it was a good walk. Definitely going back.

    EXPENSIVE. $4.25 per ride for very short amount of time, basically whatever the unprofessional crew feels like. We did one of the ride twice and there was a min difference. The crew are mostly young high school kids without any customer service experience whatsoever and totally unprofessional. It’s next to a very smelly part of the Zoo, it’s not so clean, and rides are old and rusted. Won’t go back again.

    Had a great time. Staff was SUPER friendly which made spending the time there a breeze. Reasonably priced tickets and an upside each ride requires one ticket so for a total of eight tickets you can board each ride once! The only inconsistency I found was that on the site it states adults are able to join in and ride ALL of the rides with their child but at the bouncy buggies (ATV that bounce up and down) we were told no adults allowed. It was a let down bc my child isn't big enough to ride alone so we had to move along. It was still a great experience for a mom and tot in an amusement park.

    Hopefully this small amusement park in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Flushing Queens opens up this summer. It is near the petting zoo and the Queens Zoo. New York Hall of Science is also in FMCP. All of these are great places to take kids on a nice spring or summer day. Fantasy Forest Amusement Park is for smaller children, up to about 7 or 8 years old. There are several cute rides in this amusement park and some arcade type games. its not very expensive. No one will mistake this amusement park for Great Adventure or Disneyworld but for small children its really a great way to spend a few hours.

  • 5/5 Solomon S. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice big

  • 2/5 Shanice 4 years ago on Google
    MUCH smaller then advertised! (Keep your walking shoes at home) the staff are informal and dont seem to have very good etiquette. Unfortunately this amusement park was a despondent in this sense because it only contained about (7) rides collectively and the lines were literally out the gates. The park itself however which this amusement park was contained in was enormous, so if you were looking for other sources of entertainment in this area there is always the "Queens Zoo" located directly right of this amusement park space and the regular free public park (which fun fact I think the 1990's movie Men In Black was filmed in) as well as just free open grassy space that you would be able to set up a picnic or BBQ in.

    Small amusement park. But kids love it. Mini sized adult rides.and a merry go round.

  • 4/5 nycmompreneur 1 year ago on Google
    Not many rides, pricey, but the rides go on longer than let's say those at Coney Island. My kids enjoyed, nice little treat after visiting the Queens Zoo which is right next door.

  • 3/5 Allanah 1 year ago on Google
    $4.25 per ticket (so per ride) and slight discount if you buy more tickets. Pay only per ride so accompanying adults don't pay if not riding. Large carousel, very small train ride loop, two car rides, tea cups, frog Hopper, Himalayan and a small roller coaster, but mighty fast ! Small area, some benches but no facilities within for family picnic. Most rides require to be 36 in to ride, and 42 inch to ride alone. Conveniently located next to the zoo for a fun family day. Parking near the museum available.

    I brought my daughter here a few weeks ago and we honestly had the best day of our life. There are a lot of rides that we enjoyed a lot and my daughter can't stop talking about it even when we were preparing for bed. The staffs are super friendly and the place has a lot of nice and wonderful attractions. What I like most about Fantasy Forest Amusement Park is that they ensure the safety of every customer and the prices are budget-friendly. This place is so relaxing and absolutely perfect for families.

    My kids and I enjoyed these rides a lot. A little pricy but rides are worth it. Really sad they are closed. Waiting to visit again !

  • 4/5 Beatrice R. 3 years ago on Google
    Lived in the bay and never heard of this place. I went for the first time with my girlfriend, my niece 7, my nephew 10, and my girlfriends son "17 months" and we had a blast. The kids enjoyed the slides, animals, train ride, and although a little creepy, the mechanical dragon at the entrance. Based off of my experience, this place is a great place to bring your little loved ones of nearly all ages for entertainment and a fun time. It is also affordable!

    It's ok for the youngest kids, a little bit over priced for just like what 5 rides. Some of the staff were unwelcoming, confrontational, and thuggish. Idk what this place thinks it's doing for a children's environment. One of them kept staring after me and my family, like what is that?

    We stumbled upon this park last Sunday when we went to the zoo and would just love to send my appreciation to the rides attendant who were all so sweet and patient to the children. We used our ticket for the ring toss and my baby still got a small gift despite not really scoring. This little doll became my baby’s favorite toy since then, so it really meant so much to us. We were all over new york and this place was my baby’s favorite.
