We took our whole family. We have kids ages 4-12. Everyone had a great time. They have things for kids of all ages. We ate lunch while we were there it’s expensive but it was good. It wasn’t that crowded we didn’t have to wait hardly at all for rides. Overall we are really glad we went. It was fun.

Tip: Food is expensive but it’s really fun. The rides are great.

"Family fun"

May 2025 NEW

Park was clean ,lines were not bad at all, lots of chairs and umbrellas to pick from , only con for us was that food and snacks were very expensive , you can bring in closed plastic water bottles but if you bring your own water jug they make you empty it but they can refill at any snack station
For free . FYI the drinking
Water is nasty . Kids had a great time . Parking is 7$.

Tip: Food/drinks are expensive and lots of chairs to hold your stuff .

"Fun waterpark!"

September 2024

Saving money is always a good thing! Easy to order tickets and send right to my email. Will order again for any future needs! The waterpark was fun and not crowded, which is the best time to go! A lifeguard was sleeping in his chair and I told another one (which she didn't care and laughed - I'm sure they wouldn't be laughing if there was a drowning on their watch), but other than the lack of safety concern from them we had a great time.
