Clear, simple drive from Chico. Fun place to go to get away from the heat. Loved that you're able to take your water bottle and fill it with free cold water in the gift shop!!!

Our family — and truly the whole community — benefits so much from this beautiful water park in Redding, CA. We don’t say it enough, but we’re incredibly thankful for the team who takes on the big responsibility of running this place, especially with so many people coming from all over. They absolutely deserve a 5-star review. That said, I do hope they’ll consider improving the process for ride height checks, especially during long wait times. Today, after waiting in line, our son — who has enjoyed this ride many times — was told he couldn’t go due to his height. Meanwhile, his friend, who is the same height, was allowed through. I typically don’t speak up, but in this case, it felt necessary to advocate for fairness. Our son handled it well, but it was hard to watch. In the end, I stepped in and thankfully, he was able to ride. I share this only in hopes that it might help improve the experience for other kids and families in the future. We’re still deeply grateful for all the fun and care the staff provides every day.

My family of 5 rented a 6person cabana and we were all so excited for our day of fun. When we got to the cabana we were pretty disappointed because of how dirty it was but we weren’t planning on spending much time in there so we dropped our stuff off on the chairs and off we went. Then came lunch time we put our flag out for our server to come get our order. She came and got our order fairly quick so that was nice. We got our food but unfortunately even though our server read back to use that we had ordered deep fried Oreos she did not have it on our receipt so we called her back and asked if we could order the Oreos not saying anything about them being forgotten. She asked me if I would like a receipt and I declined that and gave her an $20 cash, $15 for Oreos and $5 for tip.All good right? Nope! Chicken burger was cold , two burgers were cold so we walked them up and the staff didn’t seem very happy but they remade the hamburgers and when we sat to eat them they were uncooked like really uncooked. We thought oh well we will let the kids eat the oreos and head back out. About 45 minutes went by and still not Oreos so I went up and asked what’s up with it and the girl said “what order?” I was like umm the two orders of Oreos and she oh ok I will bring them right there another 15 min went by and still nothing so I just went to the office. Lady was nice gave me a pass for 5free ice creams and wanted to give me more burgers I said nah we just want to go in the water and are tired of waiting. She then goes to the cafe to see what was up as I walked back to my cabana. As I stand at my cabana the office lady comes up to me along with the server and the cook. The cook aggressively snaps at me and said “you already got your Oreos!!” I said no we’ve been waiting for them at our cabana he said “no you came to the window and showed me your Receipt and I gave them to you. “ As they all were looking at me for answers I said no that did not happen I didn’t get a receipt remember as I looked over to the server. I said I don’t care we just want to get in the water so it is what it is. The office lady said come to me before you leave and we can get you the burgers. I said ok. My family and I went off to get back in the water a few minutes later we noticed the staff back at our cabana going threw our trash!!! Freaking unbelievable. I told my children it was ok our things will be fine. Literally the worst experience EVER!!! At the end at about 5 ish I went to the office and as I walked it the office lady was holding a small child behind the counter and she just left. I gave up at that point and just wanted to get my family out of water works park.

This place is completely overrated. You would think that being one of the sunniest places in the country we would have a decent water park but nooooo.. just this joke of an establishment. Outdated and overpriced. My six year old was able to ride the avalanche one trip, but the next time he was there with his grandma they told him he wasn’t tall enough, granted this was a summer later and there’s no way he got SHORTER. The food is awful and they won’t even let you bring in your own water despite it being 100+ degrees through much of the summer. Lame slides, this last time my son was there the raging river was shut down for most of the day, which due to the inconsistent height checks was the only thing he was able to ride. You would think with the amount of money charged for admittance, food, cabanas etc and the amount of time they have during the “off season” they would spend some time and money making some updates and improvements. Such a shame… we need a real water park.

It was decent. We had fun! About 4 hours into our visit, the manager came out and said we couldn't have our outside water there. Idk if she was having a bad day or what but she started bitching about her employee working the door. They provide no water fountains though. We spent plenty of money there on food. We left 30 minutes after that confrontation. It kinda left a bad taste in our mouths. Eat before you go and hide your drinks under a towel if you can get them through the door by the nice staff that work the gates.
