Not very friendly or helpful

We haven't been to the cranberry festival, but we did attend a 'Day Out With Thomas' at Edaville and were extremely disappointed. We'd purchased tickets for the wrong day (I know, our mistake) because the site kept crashing. However, when we arrived the next day, they wouldn't help us AT ALL! The manager came to speak with us and even he was unsympathetic. So we stood there with a crying 3-year-old and worthless tickets. They claimed they were completely sold out, but when my husband checked at the general admission booth, they had TONS of tickets! We ended up paying for our tickets TWICE but we won't go back ever! Once inside, we were very underwhelmed with the entire place as well as the staff.

We went on Sunday to the festival what a fabulous time we all had the place is so clean and stoller friendly. The train ride was fun but not very informative. There was lots to see and do and the food was good and prices were fair the boy scouts had a nice variety. The kettle corn was the best we ever had in our lives the people were nice and friendly and they gave us samples to try first we'll be going back next year for sure, I heard they do christmas lites may have to come back to check it out .

Edaville USA National Cranberry Festival

We really enjoyed this festival. The park was clean and the staff friendly. Our three children enjoyed the train ride and were genuinely interested in the cranberry harvesting. The Ocean Spray museum was fascinating and the train displays and play area were great for our younger children. The festival is definitely a 'small town' affair. The 'singer' was not a headliner. We enjoyed the local children's cheerleading team's performance. There was not a large selection of rides, but there were enough rides for our chilldren to enjoy. Overall, the Ocean Spray Museum was a class-act, the trainride was nice (it would have been wonderful without the piped-in music), the cranberry harvesting was very interesting, the food was unremarkable, the park was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I will go again.
