Ages: The sweet spot is 1 to 9, and it is one of the widest sweet spots in the Triangle. A one year old rides the historic carousel on a parent's lap and is completely delighted. A three to six year old is the target audience for essentially everything here, from the kiddie boats to the train loop. Big kids still enjoy the train, the playground and the pedal boats, especially with a younger sibling along. Tweens will go along happily but are past the point of asking to. Teens will treat it as a walk in a pretty park, which is not nothing on a spring afternoon, but they are not the audience.
