What parents say
"I come here with the fam a lot! Theirs so many fun slides and attractions to do it’s awesome! Water is pretty warm unlike other water parks where the water is too cold to enjoy it. The lazy river is my favorite. What I also absolutely love is all the cute lifeguard guys that r shirtless there!! As a gay guy like me all that eye candy sure is nice !!"

"Bought the 2 park fun card and 1 annual pass for parking. We were in the area for a month and this is the best way to do theme parks for us. We would go at open and leave when it got busy. The park is nice with shade throughout don’t know what others are talking about, I’ve been to parks without shade and this place has a lot. Could use a bit more water on the concrete in a few areas. Tons of great slides, no wait hardly for the first few hours. We would pack food and eat at the picnic tables outside in the parking lot if we wanted to do a full day. Water bottles are allowed inside but no food"
