The Watering Hole Safari and Waterpark (Monsoon Lagoon)

I recently visited The Watering Hole and Waterpark, and they offered a good mix of fun for the family. My daughter was absolutely thrilled with the safari experience; feeding the animals was the highlight of her day. Additionally, the go-karts added an exciting touch to our visit. However, there were a couple of areas that could use improvement. The water in the waterpark was frigid, making it challenging to enjoy for extended periods. Furthermore, the snack and adult bars could benefit from a more comprehensive selection. Regardless, the overall experience was positive, and we'd consider returning. Recommended for families looking for diverse entertainment in one place!

It’s “ok” but barely- especially if you overpay for admission. The regular price for the season pass is quite high for the state of the facility. Everything is old and tattered. The pool chairs are made from that plastic fabric stuff that pokes the crap out of you when it goes bad. Spoiler: theirs are old, bad, and pokey. The outdoor “cabana” appears to have an indoor leather couch in it. The price of food is of course outrageous. It’s not the greatest either. A season pass for this place is the same as the Columbus Zoo which also has a water park included and its easily four times the size and that might be insulting to zoombezie bay as it very well may cover 16 times the space if you think of a grid plus the zoo itself. I did say its ok and it is. It’s better than nothing and everything appears to work. There is nothing else close other than Kalahari which is also significantly better. So its just a matter of what you pay and what you get out of it. Two stars vs. three. Two is probably too harsh but it’s barely a three if you round 2.5 up. Check it out on a day pass.

So much to do that we couldn't get it all done and were there 5 hours! The safari ride is lame if you live in a farm and takes forever to get through bc they let kids feed them... Don't waste ur time unless u find goats and cows interesting lol. The rest of it was great tho!! Food is expensive and I found a deal for tickets on Groupon otherwise this would have been insanely expensive to take the FAM to!

I gave this place a 4 because of the food prices and alcohol prices and they close too early and the Safari ride was a joke, just had cows and deer, had 3 zebras behind a fence, that's it. We really did enjoy the water park and the go carts were a lot of fun. The water was clean and not too cold, the staff was very nice and polite. It was 50.00 to get in, but you can get Groupon for 30.00, just not the day of, no exceptions, not allowed to bring food or water in, they did allow my yeti bottle. I would go back but just use the Groupon next time, skip the Safari ride. The zoo is included also, it was pretty good too,just don't expect lions, Tigers or bears.

Very nice for any age! Water slides, a small pool (and swim up bar), lazy river, bumper boats, mini golf, go carts and a drive thru safari!! Buckets of food for the wagon ride and petting zoo are available, 1/$15, 2/$25 Groupon runs these tickets for the best price!
