Mountain Creek's Waterpark awaits, with over 2 dozen unique rides, slides and pools set in the mountains of Vernon, New Jersey, just 47 miles from NY City. Experience the thrills of 1,600 feet of pure whitewater adrenaline on the infamous Colorado River Ride, the largest water ride in the region. Leap from the Canyon Cliff into endless blue water, or rocket down Thunder Run or The Gualey, the most supercharged whitewater tube rides you've seen! Drop 40 feet on our Vertigo and Vortex tube speed coasters...in the dark! Plummet 99 feet in just seconds on the H2Oh-No! speed slide. Swing into action on the Tarzan Swings, or race through the dark and shoot out 10 feet above the water on the daring Cannonball. High Anxiety begins with a 5 story drop before accelerating riders into the immense funnel that propels you to panic-inducing heights and a momentary Zero-G experience. It's the shore without the jelly fish! The Hightide Wavepool is one of the largest pools of it's kind, sculpting over 450,000 gallons of water into perfect sets of waves every 10 minutes! Kids World offers more than enough fun to keep the kids happy all summer long. Have a blast in The Spraygrounds, relax in the Lost Island River, zoom down The Hook, or play on our multilevel interactive water play fort, complete with water slides, spray cannons, water hoses, and a 'fishy' shower! « less

I'm putting in this review for those still considering purchasing season passes for 2012. Over the last 30 years I have been to Mountain Creek hundreds of times going back to the days of Action Park. I have gone with my children and I have enjoyed the park on my own. Here is my honest assessment of the waterpark experience... More

Would recommend visiting the Water Park for a day. For the younger kids, maybe 2-3 days, older ones - get bored easily. There are nice lodging places in the area, as well as the restaurants (which can get pricey). More

We had a Livingsocial voucher for snow tubing at Mountain Creek and we decided it to use it up this weekend. It was indeed a lot of fun. The place is a bit difficult to find since there are two locations North and South. The tubing happens in the North location and we had parked in the south lot by... More

WE love the park. There are enough rides to keep you busy for the day. Go earlier to beat the bus trips. Just be prepared for the cold water. Better to go on a very hot day. We always have fun here!! More

I went with my sons-9 and 12-the Friday of Labor Day. When we got there, we were told some things were closed for day, and others were "temporarily closed." Temporarily, ended up being permanent, as THEY NEVER OPENED ALL DAY! We were not told this. Had I known, I would not have paid. We also noticed that the place was... More

I just got back from Mountain Creek and all I can say is that if you have any difficulty in walking or climbing stairs, this is not the place for you. I bought season tickets at the beginning of season and never actually went there until today. We parked at the bottom of a hill and the walk up was... More

First off to all complainers all waterparks/ amusement parks you will pay a lot for food or drinks, that's everywhere. Moutain creek is on a hill and does take a bit walking but sooo worth it. The rides are extreme and fast and tons of fun. I been going to mountain creek when it use to be action park. My... More
