About
Safari Splash, located at the Fort Worth Zoo in Fort Worth, TX, is a seasonal water play area designed for families and children. It features a variety of attractions including multiple water slides, a 500-gallon dump bucket, a lazy river, and interactive splash pads, offering a refreshing experience during the warmer months.
Specific information regarding the temperature of the pools at Safari Splash is not publicly available. As a typical outdoor splash park and water playground, the water features are generally unheated and use ambient temperature water, providing a cool respite in warm weather.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the water park highlight a mix of fun experiences and significant concerns. Many found it enjoyable, especially for small children, and appreciated the constant employee supervision. However, several issues were raised: adults are charged for entry but cannot use slides with their children, and some question why zoo members are charged at all. There are reports of frequent bee swarms making the park unplayable, and a lack of lockers for belongings. A major concern is safety and supervision on the slides, with instances of children climbing up slides, ignoring staff, and multiple injuries occurring due to attendants' inability to see inside tunnel slides. Consequently, some reviewers feel it's not suitable for very young toddlers (recommending ages 5 and up) due to the risk of bumping and pushing, and suggest improvements like clearer communication systems for staff.

Was so much fun most definitely a cheap one day if you have a membership at the zoo! I didn't catch a picture of the waterfall. I will update next time!

Great little water park, but they charge adults to get in and then don't even let them use the slides with their kids (even 2 year olds).

1. Adults are charged the same price as kids for a kids splash pad. (why are we charging members in the first place?) 2. The past few times we’ve gone, there have been so many bees swarming that it made the park unplayable. I have three kids and I’ll never go back.

We were there yesterday, first time to the Safari Splash, not first time to the zoo or a splash pad. Our son is 21 months and in my opinion too young for this venue. There are small slides for toddlers but the proximity to the large slides means a lot of bumping and pushing of little kids. I also wish there were lockers for belongings. I was in the spray zone with my toddler so keeping my diaper bag and personal belongings on me weren't an option. The big slides looked fun, but the monitoring was not done. On the red slide, a kid was climbing up it and actively ignoring the employee who was telling him to get down. I personally witnessed 3 kids get hit/injured on the blue side as a kid was climbing up, but since it was a tunnel slide the attendant at the top couldn't see. Several parents were yelling up at her and it took a couple of kids before she heard. I reccomend some kind of loud speaker to call out descriptions of the child so the adult they came with can come grab them and leave if it's a continuous issue. We won't be back until he's a bit older and can fend for himself a bit more. Personally I'd reccomend ages 5 and up for this place. All and all he did have a good time, minus the getting hit, pushed a few times
