Are you searching for a few extra pumps of adrenaline this summer? If you’ve had your fill of the place where dreams come true, you can dream up a few new adventures anywhere from Georgia to Idaho.

Below, we’ll sail through 15 different theme parks that pack just as much of a punch as the magical fairyland that is Disneyland.

Busch Gardens, Florida

If you’ve traded in your resident pass to Disney, you can detour from Orlando to Tampa for all the fun on deck at Busch Gardens.

It’s arguably one of the most beautiful theme parks in the country – with another one up in Virginia. Here, they combine lush gardens, friendly zoos, and a whole host of rides to enjoy.

Given its beautiful surroundings, there will be plenty of selfie spots throughout the park, filled with bright flowers, delicious snacks, and colorful rides like the can’t-miss Serengeti Flyer.

Lake Winnepesaukah, Georgia

While Florida stakes its claim to fame in the land of theme parks, its neighbor up north has a special little treasure.

Locals and visitors lovingly call it Lake Winnie as it steals the hearts of kids year after year. It offers rides aboard plenty of the classics like bumper cars and ferris wheels. It also has its fair share of rollercoasters and a thrilling little water park.

Magic Springs Theme and Water Park, Arkansas

This is, indeed, a magical theme park because it’s the only one in America on the grounds of a US National Park.

Hot Springs National Park is well-worth a visit, all on its own. But, this theme park and water park ups the ante if you have kids on board.

There are over 80 attractions in the main park. Then, the water park, Splash Island, features over 10 slides for everyone to zip down.

Dollywood, Tennessee

With plenty of snacks to enjoy, as well as musical delights at night, the one ride you can’t skip is The Wild Eagle coaster, where you’ll soar through the air on the wings of an eagle.

There’s also a water park here for you to enjoy. And, if that’s more your speed, we also have a detailed list of affordable water parks all across the US.
