The destination, which is also used for weddings, holiday parties, reunions, retirement parties, picnics, and corporate meetings, draws two million visitors per year.

In addition to an indoor six-level climbing attraction, an arcade, a toddler area, and the Painted Pony Cafe, Giggleberry Fair features an antique Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC #59) carousel which was originally built in 1922.[2]
