Adventureland amusement park in Altoona, Iowa seems to be a right of passage for all Iowan kids. I have been told about how much fun all of the rides are, the family-friendliness of the area, and all the great fair food and honestly, it's not an Iowa summer without visiting Adventureland.

So, I got my list from Facebook of the rides I had to try (of course, I could not get to all of them), packed up the car with a few friends and made my way to Adventureland this past Saturday. Check out my first trip to Adventureland pictures below!

The first ride we hit up was of course, the ferris wheel! For some, the height is the scariest part but I personally loved how high it went and could have stayed on all day!

Next up was the Scrambler! Let's just say spinny rides are not my thing and it is a good thing I did not loose my lunch on this one! I also cannot believe my friend did not lose her phone on the ride taking this picture!

Finally reached a fast ride for a ride warrior! Many roller coasters followed this one!

I don't even remember the name of this one, but I promise I almost emptied the contents of my stomach afterwards.... but I had to be strong for the 9-year-old with me.

After a long day of walking and riding, I think I deserved some ice cream! yes, I ate it all!

If you have never been to Adventureland, I suggest going at least once in your life!
