What are people saying (AI review summary)? The theme park generally receives positive feedback, with many praising it as a fun family destination, particularly highlighting the enjoyable wave pools and the abundance of attentive lifeguards. Long-time season pass holders appreciate the park as a nostalgic childhood memory they can now share with their own children, often recommending gold passes for early water park access and occasional cabana rentals for an enhanced experience. Recent improvements, such as new fencing around the wave area and family rental spaces with special services, are also noted positively. However, significant drawbacks include misleading information about park operating hours, leading to unexpected closures, and a lack of control over sunbed usage, which can detract from the visitor experience despite many sunbeds being available. The water itself is consistently described as wonderful.

Always a good time! Get a seas9n pass support our local theme park so we have one. We buy season passes every year. My parents did for us in the 90s, and I love that this is a childhood memory I get to share with my kid. If you have a gold pass you get into water park before g.a. so you know you'll get a beach chair. But maybe get a cabana occasionally, it's "fancy" my son says.

Pros: Really fun, the kids love it and the waves make the swimming pool more fun. There are plenty of lifeguards. Cons: while there are a significant amount of sunbeds, there is a lack of control of their usage and it is a very bad experience
