Silverwood

Part of our summer holidays were spent in Spokane Washington and then we took the boys to Silverwood Theme park for a day.

Theme parks with children are both a joy and a pain in the butt.  I loved watching my boys expressions on their faces as they experienced so many different parts of the park, but with so many regulations it was a pain making through the whole day.  The heat didn't help either.
 Leigham was on board to try most rides, but he's not a ride kid, and spent most of the time stressing that they rides would be too fast, too spinning, or too high.  However we did get him to go on the rides with his brother and he was a champ.

This was the only ride Teddy didn't enjoy, he wasn't expecting the swinging motion and it scared him. Adrian and I may have laughed a little as we watched him trying to crawl off the ride.

 

The train ride around the park was the boys highlight. They begged and begged to go all day long so before we could leave the park we had to ensure they got on the train. It's super cute because they do a whole interactive play through the ride and the kids laughed and laughed.  They were especially giggly when the train was robbed by bandits.

We also spent half the day at Boulder Beach, which is attached to Silverwood and part of your admission.  This is a great feature but it's mostly just slides and a lazy river so no real area to just swim. 

Our biggest concern with both areas of the park is that Teddy was too short to go on any of the rides/ slides that he really wanted to go on, so we only did one day.  However, next time we go we will likely do two days because Teddy is a ride and slide lover and we want to make sure he gets to experience it all.

Have you ever been to Silverwood?
