The water facilities are wonderful and there's plenty of staff. Everything feels like safety is considered and it's a beautiful location with lots of parking. That being said- if you aren't a member, expect to wait a long time in line while members get in immediately. $17 seems somewhat overpriced for what the experience is. My son waited longer than a half hour for the wave/surfing situation, and then he had two tries. With instruction and overall time spent per kid it takes about 5 minutes per kid so if the line is more than six kids long, expect to wait at least half an hour. Food was running out by 6, so when I ordered a walking taco it came without meat. They didn't let me know when I ordered. My kids got the soft pretzels, which were chewy and flavorless. My friend let me know that she wouldn't recommend the corn dogs either. General bathrooms reeked and were without AC (possibly a temporary situation but there were no signs). Family bathrooms were spacious and accessible, and even had a shower! No trash can near the toilet. Overall would recommend the park for all the Waterpark features (while expecting lines to enter and at the surf area and water slides- lines were even long on a Monday), but next time I'd skip trying to change there and would go elsewhere for food.

This is a wonderful water park run by Carmel Clay Parks. Municipalities across the country should look at this attraction as a possible amenity for their residents and visitors. We are in Cincinnati but visit every year when in Indy visiting friends. They have something for every age here. A couple neat, large splash grounds for the littles. A dual FlowRider for the adventurous (you have to sign a waiver). The Lazy River is a little small, but there is no shortage of young and old relaxing in an inner tube (you have to be IN an inner tube or the staff will come at you). And a few slides- one dual with a body and tube slide. Tube is on the left when waiting in line, body on the right. The other slide is a short body slide that plunges into a pool shared with a rock climbing wall. My kids really enjoyed this, possibly due to the short line. We never ordered food here, we bring in our own. Alcohol is not allowed, and they do search your stuff. The cabanas are affordable and very helpful on a busy day. They comfortably fit our party of six, come with a fridge and fan, and run around $200. You still have to pay admission in addition to this fee. The staff is generally friendly and helpful, including the lifeguards. We've never had a negative interaction with them. They do have a very aggressive inclement weather policy. If they expect thunderstorms within a 30 mile radius, they will shut down the pool. And by shutdown that means you have to leave the park entirely, and wait for further info, on their Facebook and phone hotline. On the day we visited this year they shut down twice due to rain. No lightning, but quick rain storms. They were not quick to post updates on their socials and phone hotline. After the first delay they reopened after 90 minutes. The second rain delay we just left. Eventually the park just decided to close for the day. It's seems aggressive and somewhat unnecessary, but probably driven by their insurance company I suspect. No refunds or tickets reissued due to the weather, but that's the norm with these venues. Find a day with good weather predicted, book a cabana if available, and you'll have a blast. I wish more municipalities would offer such a great asset to their communities.

I did a weekend vacation with my family of 8. Parents of 4 children 2 yrs. to 15 yrs. with us as the grandparents traveling together with 2 cars. The waterpark was a good place for the lazy river for us grandparents, baby water pad for the 2 yr. old and the bigger slides and pools for the 10, 12 & 15 yr. olds. We had a great day under the cabana when we needed a rest and we stayed for about 5 hours.

I liked everything about this place. To many options for water lovers, you can’t get enough of trying them all. No time limit, just enjoy as you can from opening till closing time. Fantastic 👌🏾

UPDATE!! I wanted to update my first review of this waterpark. As my 2nd visit, both my niece’s birthday party, It was Even worse than the first time. This time not only was it too expensive for the uncleanliness we dealt with in our rented Cabana. I got there early and went on back to our Cabana, only to find that it was just horrible. Everything was sticky, and hadn’t been cleaned it looked like, ever. I went to the box offices where we paid $20 a piece to enter and $120 for the Cabana and asked for some cleaning supplies for the cabana we were getting ready to use for a 6yr olds birthday party . I was being a little Passive Aggressive hoping that they would clean it up at least a little bit, but no. They actually handed me a towel and that was it. I said I’m going to need a little bit more cleaning supplies to make it suitable to hang out in. The inside of the mini fridge was just soaked in a brown substance. You could definitely tell that it had not been cleaned since atleast the last party. I took pictures and sent them to my niece so she could get some money back and I went ahead and cleaned it up enough to make do. But ya, I will not be going there anymore. We spend too much money for a nice place to enjoy the sun and water to be reduced to squander down at the creek for $200. Ridiculous I visited The Waterpark yesterday for my niece’s 5th Birthday party and was shocked by the price of admission. $17 per adult, $14 per child. It’s a nice place. A little too crowded for my taste. It reminded me of Holiday World’s water park. Same set up and all the same attractions and Cabanas. That’s another reason I don’t want to come back, to rent a Cabana is $300 for 3 hours! I understand that inflation is happening and that I was in Carmel, but dang, I thought it was waaaaay too much money to be crowded by soo many people. It was just all way too much for me. We will not be going back EVER! 😉
