re: Grand Isle park

October can be hot as hell or cold as hell. You really never can tell. I went in July last year, it was pretty rough. Gnats like crazy and zero wind to kind of keep me cool. October might be better though. You should do it though, even if it's a pain in the arse for you, your son will probably enjoy it and remember it forever.

On the bright side, the showers/restroom was really nice.
