It was expensive so I thought had to be good. NOPE I WAS WRONG! We stayed there for an hour and we were bleeding bruised and I had to see my chiropractor the next day. She thought I was in a car accident. Nope the slides just beat the crap out of me. FAIL WATERSLIDES!!!

Adults are going to sit in the giant hot tub or at one of the picnic areas for the most part, while the kids run around. While that is typical of most water parks, this one just doesnt have a whole lot to offer as far as excitement. Also, it tends to have a very short open season and be... More

This place hasn't changed at all since I was in high school back in the 80"s. My daughter and her friend had fun. Even though there is not much shade. And despite being very liberal with the sunscreen, we still all burned. It would be good for business to add some fun NEW things to the waterpark.

I am glad it was only a 15 minute drive because when we got there it said the park was closed today. It is the last week of summer! Don't you think they should put something on their website if they plan to be closed? I know school started here already but there are plenty of tourists left that wanted... More

Rushmore Waterslide was a good set of slides. There were 6 true slides, a tube ride and some stuff for little kids. The main area featured 4 slides that were all pretty descent; adjacent to that were two more that ran the length of the hill with a few bumps in them. They were identical and gave the same thrilling... More

We went to the water park for the 5th time this year on july 13 2012. All year we have been allowed to let my daughter ride on my lap down the tube slide. This time though we were approached extremely maliciously by one of the life guards stating that she could not be on my lap. We exited the... More

Took two kids age 3 and 5 and we had lots of fun. The 5 year old went down the slides by himself and the 3 year old went with me. Some slides are restricted to doubles but we had fun anyway. Best thing about this place is you can take your own food and drink in (NA and no... More

Also a large hot pool. There is also a mini golf course that is part... More

We found this accidentally and I am very glad we did! The slides were very fun. It was nice that it was situated on a hill. No annoying ladders to climb! I would definitely come back again!
