Paws

This past summer my family and I went to Darien lake twice. We had so much fun! There was so much for the kids to do. Lots of rides and a water park. My only complaint is I wish there would have been more seating like benches in the shade throughout the park as it was really hot and it’s a lot of walking to get around. Is highly recommend this amusement park!

We had a great time. It was cheaper to buy season tickets than an all day pass, so we did. We visited on the Saturday before labor day and it was a perfect day, we did not have to wait in line to get on any of the rides. We had a 2 year old, 7 year old, 11, 13 and 3 adults there was fun to have for all ages. Parking, Food and games are very expensive. There was also an over abundance of bees for some reason. Portions of the water rides were still running. We had a lot of fun at the wave pool. We will definitely be back next year with our new season passes.

I read many recent reviews before we decided to make the 2+hour drive to give it a try. Despite the majority of the water slides being closed -we had a great time. We got there just after the park opened and we're able to park close to the entrance. I am 65 yrs old and my grandson, who is 11, and I rode every roller coaster at least once. We rode "ride of steel" at least 8x. We rode most rides in the first position. I think I probably rode a "high thrill ride 25x". We had packed a lunch and left it in the car due to the universal complaints about food prices. Since we were parked close - this was no problem. We changed into our bathing suits in the car and hit the solitary water slide group of 4 that was open. Clearly a lack of lifeguard certified operators is the issue with the water park. Complaints about lack of water slide attendants versus fully staffed concessions are not fair. Especially since the concessions are likely staffed by independent operators. They certainly aren't required to have lifesaving certification. Still, it was good to get cooled off in the wave pool. Towards evening we went back to the car- changed back into dry clothes - had another bite to eat and went back to our favorite coasters. Yes there were tons of yellow jacket bees - avoid them and they'll avoid you. We never ate or drank anything in the park so it was a non-issue for us. We saw many attendants sweeping up and keeping the park as clean as possible. Never smelled any smoking. I witnessed one rider get chewed out by an operator because he pulled out his cellphone on a ride. He was banned from that ride the rest of the day. Bravo to the operator who noticed. A flying cellphone could really hurt someone. I was surprised that the place is as well kept as it is - considering where in the country it is located and the resulting lack of time to do outside work. I think those of us who like high thrill rides should be grateful to 6 flags for keeping it alive. It was a bonding day my grandson and I will never forget. Thanks!

Listen, even though I absolutely hate roller-coaster rides I still had lots of fun! I only went on the one with the water and it wasn't too bad. Even if you're not a fan of roller-coasters or you can't enjoy them because of a health related issue it's still a very fun experience. The arcade games were fun, staff was friendly.
Food and drinks both overpriced and definitely not worth it. The bathrooms were dirty and need to be renovated.

I have been to Paws during Happy Hour not once or twice but many times. That is proof of the fact that I love this place. Any restaurant that makes me go again and again has a couple of things going besides being a very convenient location. One is service and the the other, of course, is the quality of food. In the service area, I haven't seen a better person than Mitch. He makes an exceptional old fashioned but I have also had gin and tonic as well as scotch. He has a very pleasant personality' Also hard working and pays good attention to any customer needing help. I admire him since he is also a student at other times.
In the food area, I love the brussel sprouts and the calamari but I cannot leave without the sushi rolls and the sashimi.
Hopefully the managers read this review.

Food was delicious - service was excellent
Take home pizza could have used more sauce

Amazing filet. Best I EVER had

Very friendly, quiet, a little dark but could be considered ambiance.

I have yet to eat here but I have picked up food for the doordash delivery and it smells absolutely amazing
