  Definitely a must if you have children between 3 and 8. Vintage merry go rounds and early rides (most probably took pennies or nickels per ride back in the day) were a real hit.

  We visited on a weekday after Labor Day and just about everything was closed down as of 3:30 p.m. Of course the water views and activities are there but the amusement park was just about non-existent. It is very small too which surprised us. We were told that this is a 'must see' and perhaps it is during the summer when everything is open, but there is certainly nothing to stop for right now. We are writing this as a warning to anyone thinking of visiting and making a day of it.

  This place is open in the summer and most of it closes in the fall. There are some of the restaurants open in the fall and it is a great place to take the kids on a nicer day. It's also a great spot for fishing!

  Walked around with a friend from Florida who grew up here. Arcade has lots of throw backs and the popcorn is to die for! Beautiful park to walk around. Wish we had more time!

  We love the Willows. As Salem residents we go here often at all times of the year. It's fun during the summer when more of the restaurants are open, but it's just as beautiful when Fall rolls around and it's quiet after Halloween. We bring food to feed the birds, take numerous photos, attended a friend's wedding here and enjoy the tourist feel during the warmer months. The only downfall and the reason I didn't give it five stars is because come evening/twilight, we've encountered some unruly, unfriendly and rambunctious teens. I'm not that old, so age doesn't bother me, but being harassed by kids who throw stones at us minding our own business on a bench because they want us to leave to have the park to themselves is unsettling. We've seen them abuse seagulls, damage trees and vandalize benches. If only the Willows had their own security or more frequent drives-through from the Salem PD at certain times of the day, it would totally deserve 5 stars.

  Still well cared for park and great for walks, making you feel like a local. However, there was little information to say That the Food area's are closed during off season, and a little disappointing as we walked from the town centre.

  Love this little park. The kids like the games and rides and we love to walk the paths they have there and walk on the beach. It is a great place for a family picnic.

  This was a nice spot to take our 4 year old. There's a little area with 4 amusement rides. Low price for tickets. $7 for all 4 rides if I remember correctly. There's mini golf, 2 arcades and plenty of food.

  When you go to this park you will feel like you have stepped back in time. I use to bring my son here when he was little (and he's 27 now) and NOTHING has changed. In fact my husband use to go with his parents when he was little. The popcorn is wonderful at Hobbs but the Salt Water Taffy is even better. And when you see how cheap the price is for those wonderful treats you will think you're stuck in the 70's. Wonderful fun time!!!! I would recommend for any one with kids or kids at heart.

  Interesting history. We had three small kids who loved the rides, the food is very affordable and the popcorn was fantastic. Plenty of shaded areas to beat the heat. Only complaint is could use a couple public water fountains.
