Dora is a seven-year-old Latina heroine, whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. Diego Marquez, Dora’s cousin, is an eight-year-old action-adventure hero who loves nature and animals. Dora and Diego explore their world just as preschoolers do everyday, and their television shows actively engage audiences to use a variety of learning techniques.
North Carolina’s first theme park offers these special meet-and-greets in addition to the daily offering of Wild West family fun, including meeting cowboys in an Old West town, exciting amusement rides, lively shows and of course, a ride into the days of the frontier on a train pulled by the famed steam-powered Tweetsie locomotive. Families also enjoy the Deer Park zoo, Miner’s Mountain and live entertainment for all ages including the famed Diamond Lil’s Can-Can Revue in the Tweetsie Palace Saloon.
The park is open seven days a week until August 23, and from August 28 through November 1 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, including Labor Day Monday. The park’s regular hours are 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., but will remain open until 9:00 p.m. on July 4. Daily admission is $30 for adults and $22 for children ages 3 through 12.
