Dear Nebraska Homeschool Families,


Adventureland Park in Des Moines, IA is once again offering discounted
tickets to Nebraska homeschooling families.  Tickets are
$18.50 per person and children three and under are free.   The Nebraska
Homeschoolers discounted tickets are usable from Friday, May 21 through
Friday, June 11.  The tickets can be used any of these days, including weekends.
You can check out their website for park hours (they have different
closing times for weekdays and weekends) at www.adventurelandpark.com


NEW INFO:  Adventureland is also in the process of building a water park that
will be included in the price of the ticket ($18.50).  Adventure Bay will include
13 new water slides, a gigantic lazy river, private cabana rentals, sand beach
sun deck, and swimming pool.  This is scheduled to be
open and operating on June 1st.  However due to our harsh winter, there may be
some delay in the scheduled opening.  You can check
out their website for updated info when the time for opening gets closer.


The discounted tickets must be purchased in advance through me, Diane
McCoppin.  (If you try to purchase these at the gate, you'll be charged
the full ticket price of $35.00.)   To order tickets, please send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope (so I can mail your tickets back to
you) and a check or money order payable to:  Diane McCoppin at  73698
Highway 75, Brock, NE  68320.  It is also helpful if you label the
outside of the envelope with "Adventureland".   I can also issue refunds
in the event you purchase tickets and cannot use them, if you contact me
by June 15th.


Parking is $5 per car.  There are also a wide variety of eating
establishments in the park, but families can opt to bring a picnic lunch
to be eaten outside of the park area (there are shaded grassy areas
around the parking lots).  For anyone interested in accommodations,
there is more information about the Adventureland campground and the
Adventureland Inn on the website, both of which are located right next
to the amusement park.


If you have questions, you can email me at mccoppin@windstream.net
(preferred) or my phone number is 402-242-2591.


Thanks so much!
Blessings,
Diane McCoppin
