I took my daughter and grandson who were visiting from Atlanta, Georgia. It was a delightful day with short lines and some great rides. We were totally impressed with the water park. Take your things early and find a locker at the water park and then take in the rides. This is a fun family park that anyone can enjoy.... More

Always family fun. Many rides being worked on so soon in season, that's a shame but didn't slow us down and will be back.

Arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday, parked withing 100 yards of the main entrance, walked right in. Two boys ages 3 & 4 were thoroughly entertained the entire day. No lines for kid rides. Short lines (<10 min) for family rides. Great variety of food. Very clean. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. Ride height limits enforced... which... More

A new waterpark has recently been added, and with a plethora of rides and attractions to enjoy, a family will have a great time without getting too wore out. If they do, a full service hotel and adjacent campground provides comfortable respite. The campground allows tents as well, a good... More

We go with our granddaughter early, stay all day, leave exhausted. If you have young children or older ones, there are plenty of rides for all. Water park does get crowded. People may try to walk off with your rented inner tube. I'd say, to somehow mark your rented inner tube, so it is there, when you get back. Can't... More
