I had an amazing time at Ocean Dunes Waterpark! The park is so much fun and perfect for families. We visited on a weekday and there was no wait to enter, which made it even more enjoyable. The water slides were thrilling, and the wave pool was a great place to relax. The park was clean, the staff were friendly, and there were plenty of fun activities for both adults and kids. Definitely a great place for a fun-filled day at the waterpark, and I’m looking forward to coming back soon!

I took my daughter here on a Monday. We paid $23. Great price! It was our first time there. My daughter had so much fun. The restroom is old but clean. I would say the place is clean overall. We paid $14.99 for 3 chicken tenders and medium fries. I think it is overpriced. We didn't know we can take our own food. Next time we will do that. The reason I gave three starts is because of how unprofessional the staff is. Especially the girls in the food court. They snatched tickets and ignore customers. They look like someone forced them do the work and acted like they were handling the food for free. They kept talking even after they saw me standing waiting for them to prepare the food. They literally took about 3 minutes to get up and do my order. Mind you they are delaying to warm up some chicken tenders. I would say most of them need to learn how to be professional. Anyways the whole place seems to be managed by teenagers. I think they need someone who is older more experienced in hospitality to learn from. I am still going to back since the price is affordable. We get what we pay for.

Great place to be and not crowded! Something for everyone from young to old. Lifeguards do an excellent job keeping an eye on things especially when the parents that let their children run wild don’t! Y’all need to update your website stating $11.50 to get in and charging $15 per person. I asked was it because it’s the 4th of July she said no!

The pool was very crowded. The kids enjoyed the slide. The adults enjoyed the mini golf.

It was the perfect setup for a day to spend with my toddler. We walked right in no wait and it wasn’t too busy. Peak weekend hours too. The lifeguards and staff were friendly, but still enforced the pool rules in a polite manner. Great price too!
