We've done local events instead of major chains, simply due to price. A $7 admission park (be it family owned or not) gets the whole family. A $30 admission park, such as Six Flags, doesn't.

Yeah, but you can’t beat a full water park for that price.
Local stuff is nice, provided you can keep your kids away from the amped-up carnies. Creepy.
