We went at 6pm on a Monday, cost a little less and less crowded. So no waiting for slides. The adults and kids (10 and 11) all had fun. Its a small waterpark but they have 2 huge slides (must 42in tall) the bottom is like 2-3ft, and 2 smaller slides where its 8-12ft deep. They have a cute lazy river and a pool up to 5ft. Everything is close by so its easier to keep track of the kids and your stuff. They also have a splash pad area for smaller kids but we didnt visit.

We had such a great time at Mystic Waters Family Aquatic Center! It’s a perfect place for families spacious pools, exciting slides, and a fun lazy river. Everything was clean and well organized. The kids loved it, and we had a wonderful day. Definitely coming back.

I really liked the pool because it’s big and has lots of water slides. I do wish the adult pool was a bit deeper, but overall, it’s a great place to spend time with family. Now for the downsides: You can’t reserve a spot in advance, so you have to stand in the heat, and there’s no guarantee you’ll even get in. I would like to know on the website whether it’s worth driving across the city for a relaxing day or if I’ll just end up standing in line all day. Secondly, if you leave the park to go to your car after buying a ticket, you can’t just come back in — you have to wait in the whole line again. That’s just crazy!

Fantastic water park. Great amout of activities like water slides and lazy river and kids zone. I bring my som here multiple times a summer. We both love it. Lots of chairs. Big shade covers. Sand put for kids to.play in. Good snack shop. You can bring in your own food and drinks. Fair pricing.

They have tons of chairs tables, but you need to be there early to grab one for yourself. There is very limited shade so bring protection.
