About

Family water park with slides and a boardwalk, plus a restaurant.

Specific pool temperatures for Runaway Rapids Waterpark are not typically disclosed or advertised publicly. As an outdoor seasonal water park, the pools are generally unheated and their temperatures are subject to ambient weather conditions and sun exposure during operational hours.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The water park receives mixed reviews, particularly regarding pricing and staff conduct. Many visitors, especially those with children, found it fun and engaging, with the three-hour ticket often cited as sufficient, though some families spent an entire day. Positive aspects mentioned include a good children's water park, and the availability of lockers ($10 plus a $10 key deposit, cash only) and showers. The park is described as small, and the $35 per person for three hours is considered high by some. Food options are limited, with pizza being a good choice, but a desire for more variety like hot dogs was expressed. A significant negative point involves a staff member named Angela, who was accused of displaying undertones of racism, price gouging (stating different prices than displayed), and ejecting a visitor and their child for attempting to record a conversation about pricing discrepancies. This led to strong dissatisfaction with staff transparency and treatment, with one visitor noting significant confusion and fluctuations in ticket pricing. While enjoyable for kids, concerns about value, park size, and particularly problematic staff interactions are prominent.

It was fun! The three hour ticket was just enough. We arrived at 1pm, some of the larger slides weren't open yet, but the children's water park was in full swing. I definitely recommend for people with child(ren). The price per person is $35 for three hours which is a little high because the water park is small. There are lockers for $10 and $10 to hold until you return the key, cash only, and a shower in the changing room.

**BEWARE OF ANGELA *** Angela stated she was the owner of Runaway Rapids and undertones of racism. I thought Hank was the owner of Runaway Rapids. They price gouge and she was telling different guests different pricing than displayed. Upon confrontation she kicked me and my son out park due to me wanting to record our conversation. She knew she was wrong and rather than admit she kicked us out after 45 minutes. Liz who is the director assisted her best but ultimately violated my 1st amendment rights. I’m highly dissatisfied with today’s visit and don’t plan on returning anytime soon. 2 tickets priced at $80.73. Upon arrival it was $32 and 45 minutes later it was $12. Although today could’ve been better I’m disgusted with the staff and how transparency is not so transparent.
