Kiddieland opens April 14th.

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby Chitown on March 9th, 2007, 7:57 pm
If you can't wait for SFGAm to open on May 5th, and want to experience some rides, you can visit Kiddieland 3 weeks before SFGAm opens.

If you have never been there, or it's been a long time, give this park a try. They have some nice flats, 2 good water rides, and a classic Schmeck woodie.

Free Pepsi products just like Holiday World does.

It says 2006 schedule but the calendars that are shown are 2007.

^Wow, I always thought it was a great family park, but I didn't think it was THAT respected.

I think I'll try going there on that day this year. It'll be an interesting end to my spring break. I miss going there.

I passed the park today. Most rides were put back together. Lots of work being done around the park also.

also another reason to go opening weekend is their annual Tax Day Ride Off, everyone entering the park gets a $10.40 deduction from their entry fee.

Pretty sure that happens both days, but you might want to double check the website if that info is up yet.

April 14 & 15, 2007 - (Saturday & Sunday)

Its our 7th "Annual Tax-Ride-Off" weekend. Families can take an additonal $10.40 "deduction" off each admission to the park with a coupon from their local Jewel-Osco store. Our opening weekend comes right at the tax deadline and we want to give you an extra deduction to help stretch your entertainment dollar. Come out and help us kick-off our 79th season and save some money at the same time. We are expecting a visit from a very special guest that children of all ages will enjoy. Check below for details about our special visitor.

I was so bummed out, me and my bf drove up to the park. I should have called. I called the park after we noticed it was closed though, and they said it would open tomorrow. I don't think I feel like driving back out there after yesterday. I'm not sure what I want to do, go next weekend or not go at all.

yeah, forgot to mention it earlier, if you plan on going to KL either early or late season, call before you go, if the forcast is even just on the cold side they will not open.
