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

Initially, I spent 20 minutes trying to locate the locker I had to purchase ($12, with a rebate of $5) after having paid $122 to enter-- oh, and there's also the $5 parking, which apparently doesn't cover the cost of shuttle service or security. After having spent an hour in the park and only locating 2 tubes for my family... more

I will not ever waste my time or money at this place again. Prices are HIGH, lines to pay to get in are SLOW, and there is no shade to stand in while waiting to get in. Count on getting sunburned before U even make it through the gates. The Lifeguards are rude and intimidating to younger children. The Chairs... more

I took my family there on June 16, 2009. We had to pay $5.00 just to park in a dusty gavel parking area. I have a 6 year old & a 8 year old, I had to pay adult prices for both. Just to enter the park cost over $185.00 for a family of four. The lines were way too... more

It was a little high to go, but it is a whole days worth of fun. You can stay from morning to dark. There were a lot of slides, and a whole lot of stuff to do for different age groups. The kids I was with enjoyed it a lot. I would go back and do it again. more

Daily rate is high, but I bought a season pass on sale, 2 (adults) for $99.00 w/ free parking definetly a better deal than the one time admission of almost $40.00 dollars per adult. Most of us adults only go to take our kids, it's crazy how much we pay just to take them. Don't know how much kids prices... more

We went several years ago and were very unimpressed. My daughter is traveling to Destin with my brother and his family and they are planning to go. I am astonished that my 8yr old daughter is required to buy an ADULT ticket. She is small for a 2nd grader and I am having to pay full price for a little... more

I read the reviews and was a little apprehensive but decide to take my 7 and 4 year old sons anyway. I was suprised by the amount of rides and the overall size of the park. We spent about 7hours and my two boys had a blast. The wave pool, tube rides, and midsized slides were great for the 7yr... more

The park is pricey to get into, about 35 bucks after taxes per an adult on top of which you have to pay five dollars for parking. The park is a descent size though I recomend getting a map to find your way around as it can be a bit confusing at first. The atmosphere, which is a hawaiian setting,... more
