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! More

The waterslides were a blast! We picked a great day to visit. The staff wasn't terribly friendly but that wasn't what I was there for. The miniature golf area was just sad. We were laughing about how run down that area was! Oh well -- we were there for fun and sun and water! And on that area, we weren't... More

This is an outdoor waterpark with slides built right into the hills! Wonderful grounds facilities for relaxation while the kids play, or you can join them too. Plan to spend hours here, they won't want to leave! We usually go later afternoon so not quite as hot to avoid major sunburns. More

We stopped here on the way to Mt Rushmore, I don't go to waterparks but I had two nieces with me, 10 and 12, $15 dollars each and I had to paid $7.00 for my wife and me just to get in the park to keep an eye on them. No shade. Pass this one up. More

Even though we paid a premium to stay at the hotel attached to the indoor water park down the road and had discount tickets to that park, we grew bored with their three slides Friday evening and decided to check out this place Saturday. It was soooo much better. My kids (12 and 8) couldn't get enough. The Banzai speed... More

We all had fun ages 4, two 6 yearolds, 9, 11, 36, 37, & 39. Reasonable admissions, very clean facilities, personable employees. Not elaborate but fun and relaxing. I saw people of all ages having a good time. We along with other brought a picnic lunch and it felt like old times. Umbrella tables, standing shade areas and grassy areas... More

Spent 5 hours there and the kids (12 & 16) amused themselves. They absolutely loved it! We big folks could relax and enjoy the sun. It was only 20% full and the kids didnt have to stand in line for any of the slides. They didnt stop and got more exercise than they normally do in a week! Thoroughly recommend... More
