Liberty Land is a very small amusement type park hidden away here in Lehi. They don't have a whole ton of rides like Lagoon, but it's still fun and the best part is that the lines are nothing, so there's hardly any waiting time. The kids had a blast riding everything they possibly could.
The rode the airplanes about 5 times while we were there. Half the time there was enough room to ride in their own separate airplanes, but it was really fun to see them ride in the same plane. You could see them talking to each other and it was really fun to see them laugh and smile at each other.
They loved riding the train inside the building. The wouldn't sit anywhere but the front engine since that's where the bell was that they could ring as they were going around - and boy did they ring that thing over and over!
The Merry-go-round was a definite favorite. They loved the fact that they could choose whatever horse they wanted to ride. This was one of my favorite things to watch them do because I could see both of them with their Dad just having a fun time. During this ride they all would make a different funny face at me every time they went around - it was hilarious!
In addition to rides, the passes we bought included unlimited mini golf as well. It was pretty hot standing out in the sun, so we only did 1 round, but the kids had a blast. Zach did great with the golf club - you can tell he's been practicing out in our backyard.
Hailey on the other hand was a completely different story. First of all, she insisted on using the red putter, which was about 6 inches too long for her, but you know what it's like to change her mind after she gets set on something. Jeremiah helped her most of the time since she would either miss completely and hit the ground or actually hit it backwards (this was so funny to watch). But there were a few times where she insisted on doing it all by herself - of course we stood there for 5 minutes before she actually made contact with the ball!
Inside the building they had some blow-up slides, more rides, a rock climbing wall, and even arcade games. We couldn't help but use a few quarters to play a game or two. Hailey chose skeeball which turned into "I'll throw (not roll) it half way up the ramp" ball - it was so funny! And Zach chose a basketball game - big suprise! They both had so much fun.
But there were definitely two rides that were the most fun. The first was the go-carts. At first Zach went by himself.
And then he was gracious enough to take his sister for a ride. You'll notice that he has to slide all the way forward to even reach the pedals - it looks like the seatbelt is almost choking him. They loved every minute of the ride!
The other favorite was the water boat ride. The first time they went, we paid a bit extra so that Jeremiah could take Hailey. I couldn't stop laughing as Zach chased them around the pool trying to spray them with water.
The next time we got brave and let Zach and Hailey go together. It was funny since there was an older grandpa and his granddaughter in the group. He was such a good sport and let our kids continually spray him along with his granddaughter. Our kids laughed the whole time! I have to admit that he was quite drenched by the time the ride was over.
And if you're wondering how much fun they had, just check out these faces!
You can bet we'll be heading back to Liberty Land again really soon. We spent about 5 hours there and the kids had a wonderful time! Jeremiah and I are realizing that once you have kids, you have more fun watching them have fun than doing anything else for yourself. We definitely realized that on Monday as we had a blast just watching the kids get excited and have fun and we wouldn't rather have been any other place than there with our kids.

Looks like a fun time! What a good Mommy and Daddy to go watch them play for 5 hours, I agree that it is fun to watch your kids have a good time. We are excited to go to the circus with you guys.
Everytime we drive past that place on the way to AF Canyon Madi reminds us we still haven't gone there... Thanks for the reminder...
How fun! It looks like so much fun, and hello, they have a TON of things to do! I think my favorite was the boats where they squirted that man and granddaughter. Too funny.
Looks like such a fun place to go to. We will have to hit there next summer! Looks like a lot of things to do and your kids looked like they enjoyed every minute of it! Glad you were able to find something else to do...sorry for canceling on you!
I had no idea that place even existed. Sounds like a great place to take little ones too. Glad you got a day with your family.
