What parents say
"It was a great weekend getaway! Every employee was awesome! The kids loved everything. OWA and Tropical Falls are not Disney or Universal but were perfect for our family getaway. We will go back for sure. Ages 5,7,9 to 18, and 20 in my family and even adults enjoyed the water rides, Rollercoaster, and twister. Could probably do it all in one day speeding, but we did two days, and the second day was just as much fun."

"My experience was nice! I loved everything. I love how they have safety all around the place! Food little pricey but it’s worth it. My kids had a blast. My husband paid the family of four and it was $235 for waterpark/ outside rides. I think it’s not bad for the price because we stayed 6 hours total. Kids under 3 is free and I loved that! If you plan on going get the risk bands it’s worth the price. 💕🫶🏿 Remember no water or outside food allowed. You don’t have to buy floats for the kids because they have all that in the place. It’s really a nice waterpark. I arrive on a Saturday and it was"

It was a chilly Spring morning and we were nervous walking into the park but the second we stepped inside it felt like the Tropics!! So nice and warm, it was perfect temp. Bathrooms and changing rooms were very clean. The pizza was delicious and the drink cups were a good value. When I asked if we could bring back our cups next visi"
