Aug 26, 2026 · Google ReviewWe visited on 8/18 to ride "The Screamer". The staff we interacted with were quite young but that only made their professionalism and friendliness more impressive. The facility is in great condition. It's obvious that management is doing a stellar job all around. Really fun experience!
Aug 22, 2026 · Google ReviewTook several friends to Highlands as a joint birthday gift (all August babies). Had the best time! Staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. I have a bad knee and folks were great at helping me into and out of the coaster cars. I did a three hour reservation so we had unlimited rides on the coaster and the extreme tubing. It turned out to be a good idea for my group.
