"Waldameer & Water World amusement park is an awesome place to take your family. There are rides for all ages. They also have places to sit and relax as your daredevil rides. You can bring a picnic or buy fair style food if you like. If you forget your swim suit you can purchase on there. If you are in the area take a day and have some good old fashioned family fun."

"Great, family-friendly park. We visit in yearly. Nice assortment of rides. It's wonderful that they have an attached Waterpark as an additional option. We like that you can pay per ride or buy a ticket for the day. The park is generally clean and appears well maintained. They offer a nice assortment of concession stand options with abundant tables, with shade. We highly recommend the pizza boat and Carmel and candied apples. 🤣 This a nice park you can easily spend the entire day at. Consider buying your tickets in advance online to save a few dollars."

"Really fun everyone had an awesome time. Some of the staff at a pizza place in there were #£◇○d~ *not great) and thats what I have to say about that. Over all, really nice time kids loved the rides kids and adults loved the water park side! I would recommend getting a season pass over a wrist band for a day. You'd save a bunch of $$"
