Went to enjoy on a cold afternoon w guest from out of state. The locker room was the worst mess I've ever seen w clothes, towels, boots, jackets heaped all over the floors so there was barely any space to walk. It was also dangerous. The water itself was great, the slides were fun and we had a nice time. More

Part of my high rating may be due to the fact that we were there on a Thursday night/Friday morning so while there were plenty of people there, there were no lines to do anything except for the Flow Rider (which is the one thing we didn't have interest in doing). The wave pool is small, but it worked for... More

This is a good indoor water park. Granted, it is not a typical outdoor water park with a ton of rides and large wave pools, but for an indoor water park I was pleasantly surprised. First off, the whole area is heated and the water is very warm - nice! It was not crowded when I went (Thurs night) so... More

We live in the Twin Cities area. The Water Park of America is nothing compared to the water parks in Wisconsin Dells, but the Dells is over a three hour drive for us. This is a good local option. Even though I had read that the locker rooms were small, I was surprised at how REALLY small they are. Just... More

I was able to visit the Water Park of America with a friend who received free passes. I had a blast with all of the slides and the wave machine. However, after an hour, I had seen all they had to offer. They also wouldn't let anyone try to stand up and surf on the wave maker. It seemed like... More

My granddaughters absolutely had a blast. We stayed at the hotel so it was so convient for the girls to just go to the waterpark and then go back to the room. More

The staff is terrible, the manager didnt hel at all. I sure am not going to come back to this place. The water is cold, and the food is way to expensive. Not a good experience. More

Our family had a good time but notice the place is getting a bit run down. When we arrived on Sunday about 11:00a it was a complete mob scene. Took us about 20 minutes to buy tickets. Locker rooms are very small for the number of people here. Went up the stairs and noticed two of the slides had no... More

Very expensive for what is offered. We only stayed one night and could not check in til 4:00 in the afternoon and then checkout is 11:00 AM the next day. For the price I would expect greater use of the waterpark with less people for the price. Outside people are able to also access the waterpark and for people paying... More
