You have to go at off times to have the best experience. The slides are fun and the water temp is good. There is now a restaurant attached that has pretty good food. More

We enjoyed the waterpark, but I was upset that there was no discount for the tickets as guests of La Quinta. This was clearly stated in La Quinta's publicity More

Fun place for all age groups. Our 7 year old did all the slides. Our 4 year old did most of them and our 2 year old played on the kids area and did the Lazy River with me! My 42 old husband played in everything too! More
