Sandcastle can make it happen.\n\nIf you're going, it's best to stop by Giant Eagle and grab you some discount tickets from the customer service desk. $25 is still a bit much in my opinion, but it's better than spending the full $30.99.\n\nThere isn't much I can think of that's in Sandcastle that isn't a great time, except maybe walking around and scorching your feet on the boardwalk. I personally am a huge fan of some of the faster tube slides, and of course the massive speed slide. If you're looking for a more relaxed ride, check out the Lazy River, or screw around in the big pool. There's also a pretty nice wave pool there for your amusement.\n\nThere's also plenty of stuff for kids to do... But I don't have kids, so I don't know how all that is.\n\nThey do close at 7PM, which is a bit early, so be warned: you definitely want to show up earlier in the day. BUT it's definitely a good idea to close the park if you can: right toward the end, the lines disappear, and you can ride over and over. Win!"^^ . .
