What parents say
"Decided to go somewhere we’d never been, not to a big city with big, expensive attractions. Erie, PA??? ok! Definitely worth the trip. This place is huge!! Very well maintained, LOTS of different things to do for all ages. Oh, and they have cabanas! So glad I got one after noticing them . So nice for the family on an otherwise long and enduring day. Kids were able to do everything they wanted and more, while the adults were very comfortable. Awesome place, nice job guys."

"I took my kids to Splash Lagoon, and we had an absolutely fantastic time! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a fun-filled day. The water park itself is amazing—tons of exciting slides, a lazy river, and a huge wave pool that kept my kids entertained for hours. The water was warm, and everything was clean and well-maintained, which made the experience even better. My kids especially loved the tipping bucket and the indoor-outdoor hot tub! There were plenty of seating areas for parents to relax while the kids played, "

"We purchased a day pass as part of a hotel deal package, which was reasonably priced. It was a pleasant experience for a one-day trip. The kids' area is divided into sections based on age, and adults can also have a great time with their kids. However, I was not impressed with the locker prices, which were $45 for the larger ones that were not particularly spacious. Aside from that, it was an enjoyable experience."
