Parking is tough since this park seems like a destination as well as a popular place for birthdays and graduations. Go early, or get lucky. Still worth a visit if you're searching for trains and carousels as you can spend a few hours here.

Super park, full of public entertainment, huge crowds of kids and families of all ages, and vast grounds for kids to be kids. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area for wine country as there are multiple themes in this park. My kids stayed here for a couple of hours and were thoroughly entertained by the bubble man, the carousel, pony rides, and the train, in addition to the extensive park.
