Oaks Amusement Park
Oaks Amusement Park Review
There's a small-town charm to this park that has bumper cars, thrill rides, and roller-skating year-round. A 360-degree-loop roller coaster and other high-velocity, gravity-defying contraptions border the midway, along with a carousel and Ferris wheel. The skating rink, built in 1905, is the oldest continuously operating one in the United States, and features a working Wurlitzer organ. There are outdoor concerts in summer.
