A+ for new floats. The lifeguards are clearly NOT hired with the expectation of keeping an eye out for your children. Even with the new lifeguard posts added to the area (which I was happy to see upon arrival). ZERO attention paid, rather more focused on eachother, applying sunscreen, floating on the water facing AWAY from floating devices. Please please please be prepared to watch your children without the added security of lifeguards. Second time here, same lifeguard experience. Dear Owner, HIRE BETTER. This is an avoidable liability for the what could be an amazing experience. Will think twice before coming again unfortunately.
The inflatables are brand new and a big hit! The park volunteers were friendly and great with the kids. Just a heads-up—the Shark Shack opened at 11:30, but food wasn’t served until noon. Still, we had a great time and will definitely be back!
This is the lifeguard attire for this family attraction. There was a group of 3-4 boys around ages 12-14 following her and pointing when she left her booth. We also paid for 2 sessions, we were asked to get out of the water between sessions due to rain but denied a refund. Save your money.
Such a great park and awesome staff! We drove over an hour to go wakeboarding, but the cable was down. The staff hooked us up with the obstacle course while they worked on fixing it, which was super fun. Sadly, we had to leave before the cable was back up, so no wakeboarding this time—but we still had a blast on the obsticle course
There's a recent review that says the floats of the obstacle islands are old and moldy, but they've all been replaced and everything is brand new. Our family of 5 had an awesome time, so much so our kids wanted to go back the next day. There were great holiday deals on their website too. We went to this place 3 years ago and remembered it fondly and it did not disappoint. Also, it's in a lake in a natural park, so there are going to be birds, fish, water grass, turtles etc. Better than swimming in chemicals imo! For us the wildlife was definitely an add rather than a minus.
