Needs more shady areas and trees!! We got there at opening time and there was visible garbage everywhere, despite that we saw multiple teenage workers with brooms and dustpans (maybe set up more specific zones for each worker, the 2 people we saw were cleaning the same already clean area together). We had purchased a season pass when on sale 4 months prior. It boasted 3 guests each so we brought our kids and some other friends and it turns out it's 3 total guests 1 each month over 3 months. So, we ended up paying a lot more for all the kids we brought with us and our season pass turned out to not be the deal we expected. Big bummer! Next time (if we go again) we will wait and buy the end of season pass for the following year that also allows entry late season this year. For example, Labor Day sale would have cost the same as what we purchased in May but didn't end up using until the end of the season, but we would have gotten 2 years of use out of it had we waited. Cabanas look awesome, particularly the ones along the parking lot side of the wave pool (#13-23) because they have patio chairs and sofa not just a table and dining chairs like the Dasani ones along the inner edge of the Wave pool. All cabanas also have sun loungers. We got lucky and grabbed the only free seats with shade under a tree near the Captain Hook attraction. We had to have an adult guard then all day because the minute I left to take a nearby picture people swooped in and started trying to move in on our seats. Luckily I hadn't gone far and returned as soon as I saw them. Still, I paid $90 entry to sit and guard seats all day, but at least I had free time to read a book! The food and beverages is wow, VERY expensive. I paid $21 for a blended coffee beverage and $17 for 3 chicken tenders and fries. Some of the attractions are not in working order.

We love this place. We get the season pass and have been a few years that we hadn’t got it because my children has grown up but now I got a grandson named Genesis and OMG I want to take him as much as possible. I love this place to have something for everything and food games water rides they have. they have a little baby section a little toddler section. They have a great food plan deal that you should get a bracelet for $75 but it’s worth it. The food is really good. We’ve actually tried a lot of things the most important favorite thing that I like is the corn dog yeah the corn dog is the best and they’re so fast there. I would highly recommend that you. I know that sometimes it can be hard, but it really is something that you wanna do with your children as they’re small because they will soon grow up so fast so I highly recommend that you take the whole family and enjoy.

This place is pretty fun, but it comes with some considerations. I’d have a hard time paying full time for this place, but it has some great things about it. I’d never been, but my company summer outing was here this year, so they generously paid for the whole family and provided food. We got here just before noon, had food and were able to drop off our stuff at the reserved area, so we didn’t have to get a locker. Otherwise, I think a locker is a must. The reserved area is a big trek up the hill, but that’s where the wood roller coaster and a few other thrill rides. The water park offerings are decent and vary. My kids loved the smaller slides in the kiddie pools. There were tiny ones for babies and then gradually larger ones up to three good sized ones that kept my 8 year old really happy. Then we went to the lazy river. It picks up some serious speed. The line was pretty long and getting in and out was a mess. No worker helps the process so it’s fight for your life getting in as others ram into you. Terrible system, but fun once you are in. The wave pool was fun, but they close it down every 10-15 minutes for up to 15 minutes. Lame. By that time it was almost 4pm and all the lines were about an hour wait for anything. It got more and more overcrowded as the day went on making me feel like I’m glad I didn’t pay for it or I’d be really bothered as far as value. Beyond your entrance fee, consider you’ll need a locker for towels and things, so an extra $15. Also parking is $25. You’ll need water shoes or sandals walking around or your feel will burn. Everyone seems to respect placing sandals near the entrance to rides just fine.

We visited this amusement park and overall had a really fun experience. The staff is great, everyone is polite and helpful, which makes the atmosphere very pleasant. The lines move quickly, which is a big plus. We especially enjoyed the water slides, so much fun! However, one big disappointment was that many of the rides weren't working. We're not just talking about one or two. Whole sections of the park were closed. That was really frustrating, especially since we purchased season passes expecting to have access to everything throughout the season. Hopefully, more of the rides will be up and running later in the season because we’d really like to enjoy everything the pass is supposed to include.

Really torn on this place, it can be fun but usually not, first the life guards are generally rude and really fussy like little children. The entry staff is awesome no issues. The wave pool works....sometimes, or your always having to get out, the tube's barley hold air so you smash bottom on every slide, it's generally clean but only when they open, the consistency on who they let on rides is ridiculous, not. Very many options for storing tour stuff if your not first 50 people. I really want to like this place but we have been yo so many water parks throughout the country, and I'd say this isn't even a top 20. If it wasn't for cheap tickets on Groupon we probably wouldn't return.
