There is a great kiddie area, my 4 year old had a blast, 3 little water slides just for his age group, and a wading pool with buckets that fill up and dump on the unsuspecting guests. For the adults or young adults: there are 2 body racer slides, and 2 tube slides that are a blast to go down!... More

If you are staying in cavendish and do not want to drive anywhere well this place will satisfy your water park needs but the great place to go (where the locals go) is mill river waterpark cheaper funner less crowded.

It is an ok place to go with young kids. My girls were 9 when we went and they had a great time. There aren't many slides and nothing to give teens or adults much of a thrill. Infact I found it quite expensive for such a small water park. Did it once but would not do it again. There... More

It was a fun place but the activites and slides were too young for our family. Wish we'd known before we paid admission.

Shining Waters Family Fun Park was designed with a mix of attractions (wet and dry) for all ages, but our primary focus is on family fun for children aged 2 - 12, while our sister attraction Sandspit Amusement Park featured rides and...

If in Cavendish for a few days not to bad. Kids will enjoy for sure. They don't have tons of things to do but a fun way to kill an afternoon.

There are limited attractions in the park that keep your interest. The waterslides were fun. Kiddie pool is absolutely freezing!! The other attractions don't take very long to get around but short lines at this time of year means that multiple rides are easy.

We spent an entire day here. 7 hours that passed like 2. Our children, 6 and 3, never lacked for something to do. Being late August, lines were not an issue. Great family experience!
