What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for the water park are mixed, with many visitors praising it as a fun and inexpensive destination offering a wide array of activities such as waterslides, diving boards, various pools, a current pool, and a splash pad, suitable for hours of entertainment. Positive comments frequently highlight the impressive number of different water areas, the benefit of a heated pool, friendly staff, and clean bathrooms.

Went here on a crowded day, seems to be no rules, moms just standing in groups in the lazy river, kids jumping on top of people, balls being thrown at your face, my daughter went under after going in the slide and the lifeguard wasn’t even looking, thank goodness I was. I didn’t understand why young children are allowed in the lazy river when it clearly says “strong swimmers only” but the woman just crowded in one spot and having to go around them really got me. Don’t think I’ll be back

Fun, fun place! Inexpensive ($4 a kid) with lots of adventurous activities. Waterslide, current pools, 2 diving boards, zero depth pool, 4 foot deep medium depthpool, deep water pool, and a splash pad will keep everybody busy for hours.

Very impressed when we visited how many different water areas they had! Grateful for the heated pool as it was overcasted during our visit and we still had a great visit. Can’t wait to go back as the staff was friendly and kept the bathrooms clean.
