Overall a wonderful, fun park! I’ve went here for years every summer and it might be one of the best parts of the season. There’s so much to do from tubing or sliding down the water slides, going on the lazy river, the whirlpool, or other fun water activities. There’s also the adventure park which features things such as go-karts, which is very fun and worth the wait. You can’t go wrong with this waterpark, but when it gets too busy, know that there might not be many good spots-or tubes left.

Honestly, if it had been warmer today our experience would have been a lot better. That's on us. Now for the reason I am rating lower. The price to get in the water part is a bit high for what you get. No towels provided or even a system of tokens for towels. I'd have paid for a towel had it not been $16 per towel. The water temperature was absolutely frigid today. My kids couldn't stand to be in the water more than 20 minutes. Unfortunately there was nowhere to escape the wind. The price for a small locker rental was $13. Barely enough room to fit the bare minimum in that locker. The price for the go-karts was reasonable, but the person selling tickets didn't know what the rules were as for height requirements. I had to ask where to go because I was given no direction. The shower water was not warm enough. Just overall was not a good experience for my family.

Our kids love it here. There is several areas for them to play. Lazy river has a swim up bar. A few things I don't like is they are so desperate for people to purchase food and beverages in the park they make you dump out everything before entering. Including water. Average meal per person is 12.00 and a pizza is 18.00. Overall enjoyed our day.

Bathroom has poop all over. Been there for 14 years in summers and even after letting staff know nothing was cleaned. That was july 15, 2025. Other than that we love the park and the drinks and the rides. My children have a great time and so do we. We hope they keep up with the bathrooms or next year might be our last time there.

I would not recommend Wild Water West based on my recent experience. We arrived, walked up to the ticket window, and paid $14 per person. Before purchasing, I specifically asked if access to the attached adventure park was included and was told yes. After swimming in ice-cold, green, and poorly maintained pools, we decided to head over to the adventure park — only to be stopped at the gate and told we didn’t have the right tickets. Apparently, as of 2025, Wild Water West separated the pricing for the waterpark and adventure park, but this was never communicated when I bought my tickets. I went back to the counter to ask why this wasn’t explained upfront, and the attendant told me it’s posted “on the website.” That doesn’t help people like me who buy tickets at the gate. I politely suggested they inform customers before purchase or at least post clear signage, but was met with little concern. On top of that, the facility is showing its age — pools look neglected, water quality was questionable, and overall it feels like very little money is being reinvested into maintaining or improving the park. If you plan to visit, double-check pricing and park access ahead of time and know exactly what you’re paying for. For the cost, I expected a much better experience.
