Enchanted Island at Encanto Park

© 2008 Judy Hedding
There are nine different rides at Enchanted Island Amusement Park.
  1. Red Barron airplane ride
  2. Mimi Enterprise spaceship ride
  3. Rock 'n' Roll twirling cars
  4. Kiddie Cars
  5. Bumper Boats
  6. Parachute Ride
  7. Dragon Wagon roller coaster
  8. Encanto Carousel
  9. C.P. Huntington Train
You might wonder if adults and older kids ever join in the fun. The answer is...yes! Although some of the rides are designed with the smaller person in mind, bigger people are welcome to ride the train and the carousel, Rock 'n' Roll and the Parachute Tower.

Pedal boats are available to rent at the Encanto Park lake, but they are not part of the amusement park. There is a separate charge to rent a boat.

In 2009 Enchanted Island opened the Splash Zone for summer, wet fun. Cool down, get drenched, soaked or splashed at the Flower Showers and Water Mushrooms. Bring your swimsuit and towel; children in diapers must wear swimmer pants. Admission to the Splash Zone is included with your general admission to the amusement park. If you aren't interested in the rides, you can purchase an all-day Splash Zone pass at a reduced price (no charge for adults accompanied by paying children).

Tip: If you purchase a day pass to Enchanted Island you can leave the amusement park, go to the pedal boats or the Encanto Park swimming pool and then come back later in the same day for more rides. Just make sure you do not remove that wristband!
