Summer is in full swing, and most parks have something special for you to see and photograph after dark. Don't miss out by leaving when the sun goes down.

Photograph the themed treats in your theme park trips because you never know if they'll be there on your next visit. In any case, memories last longer with photographs, even the delicious memories.

Despite the commercialism of exiting theme park attractions into a gift shop, when it's an attraction you love, the gift shop is an extension of the attraction and part of the experience to be photographed.

Staying after it gets dark in a theme park often brings out the nighttime spectaculars to entertain the evening crowds with everything from special parades, shows, fireworks, and fountain shows.
