A Real Parent's Story
We rode the ferris wheel 4 times because it was empty
“My 6-year-old declared the Star City ferris wheel the best thing in the world.”

Star City is not fancy but it is pure fun. The kiddie rides are well-maintained and staff are friendly. We went on a Tuesday and my daughter ran from ride to ride with zero wait.
