The Little Dipper is one of the most popular rides here. The best part? Adults can even ride.
Fun fact: The Little Dipper was recognized by the American Coaster Enthusiasts as the oldest steel coaster still operating in North America. The ride received a makeover in 2014 but the sign at the top was recreated to look like the original 1952 sign.
While you're here, you'll want to hop aboard the Big Creek & Memphis Railway, which circles the entire park.
You'll also find a concession stand, an arcade and a miniature golf course at Memphis Kiddie Park.
Of course, you can't leave without a ride on the Merry-Go-Round. Thankfully, tickets here never expire. You can purchase single tickets, strips of tickets, a book of tickets and even a season pack of tickets.
