Rye Playland
A classic amusement park with a beach, Rye Playland is a perfect day
trip. It features lots of games to keep you occupied and many, many rides.
The two most popular are the Dragon Coaster and the Race Horses, a merry-go-round
that is around 20 times faster than a typical carousel. The Haunted House
is fun and not too scary. Plenty of kiddie rides too, including a small
roller coaster. For all ages, don’t miss the Ferris Wheel or the
House of Mirrors.
