Ok, this is one of the weirdest ride names that I have ever seen.  It's just a little boat ride and I doubt that infants can even ride so why call it "Infant Ocean".



One thing that I really like about Adventureland is that there is a ton of shade.  Whether it be from the parks abundant trees or man made shade like this covered walkway there's plenty of spaces to get out of the hot summertime Iowa sun.



If you'd have a food stand that looks like a pig you would have thought that it sold some sort of pork product?  Nope.  No pork chops, no bacon on a stick (hey that would probably go over pretty well, especially here in the Midwest) just popcorn.



I walked by the "Soda & Sounds" restaurant and figured out the soda part but didn't figure out the sounds part until I saw this stage rise out of the flower bed.  Like many things at Adventureland (the entrance plaza especially) this reminds me of Disneyland that also has a stage that rises up out of a flower bed.  Adventureland may not be Disney but they do a nice little park.
