This place was fun to be at. we went during the week and it was not as packed as i have read. THe place does need some cosmetic work and the life guards are not friendly. Otherwise I had a blast and the slides were cool. A litle pricey but its a fun little water park. NO problems here more

Over Big Kahunas is a decent little water park. As other reviewers have said, it is no "Blizzard Beach" or "Wet n Wild" but if you are in Destin, it is the best water park in Destin. The day pass is a little pricey at $37. If you are going to go 2 or 3 times it makes sense to... more

I thought the Big Kahuna was fun for the entire family. Clean and safe with good food at the snack bars. Wave pool, lazy river and water slides. Lifeguards were posted and alert. They kept order and insured the safety of all. more

Big Kahuna's was fun, for sure, but there are some improvements that could be made. I would spend my time on the beach in Destin and for an awesome water park make a trip to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, Texas near Austin. THAT is the best water park ever! Big Kahunas was cute and definitely fun, but as I noticed... more

We enjoyed our time at Big Kahunas. The tubes were readily available for each slide. The lazy river was full but it was still a good time. The negative was you pay $5 for parking in a dirt/grass/gravel lot! It took us a couple of hours to find lounge chairs but we didn't expect it to be easy since we... more

Don't waste your time or money visiting the Big Kahuna waterpark!! The slides, wave pool, etc are so outdated. It is truly amazing that they can charge the prices for the park and expect people to thik they have gotten a "good deal". Read the other reviews and hopefully you will decide that your money will be better spent at... more

This isn't six flags or Disney World... But, if you are in Destin with young childres it is a must-go location. The prices are what you'd expect in a tourist trp but the rides are fun and the children loved it. I actually began having alot of fun after I watched my husband sliding down one of the rides and... more

We went a couple weeks ago, and we found everything alright. The employees has accents, but you could understand them. Also, the rides were made for kids, and only some for adults. The food was fantastic, and my family had a blast! more
