Water Country is a great way to spend a summer day. Rides, slides and tons of family friendly fun. More

Expensive food, allowing people to swim in jean shorts, and someone stole my husbands sandals. More

Fair price considering other water parks I have been too. Lots of walking to get to the rides in the back of the park. Baby friendly. Bring sunscreen $12.99 in the park is the cheapest. Bring your towels from home. Stroller parking, flip flop cubbies at ride entrances. Only one show. I would like more show choices when the kids... More

This was my second visit. My first visit was back in 2004, and I did not like it then, for the same reasons. The crowds rival Main Street, Magic Kingdom during the parade, if you can relate to that. Packs of kids and teens wandering unsupervised (not a great idea...cussing, yelling, etc...) Some of the attractions are impossible to enjoy... More

This is a great water park. The best time to go is right about mid June. There is not a lot of people there at that time. I would never go in the middle of the summer because of the long wait times. More

My family and I loved this place. It is clean and safe. Lots to do or simply sit and read a book. I like the Lazy River an Hubba Hubba Highway the best, It has a slower pace for me. The food is also very good but expensive, so the picnic area is a great option. Would definetly go again. More

NOTE: We stayed August 2010, but Tripadvisor won't allow earlier date. We bought a package that includes stay at Kingsmill Resort, with tickets to Water Country USA. I also wrote reviews on those as well. Water Country has a different feel to other parks. We live close to Dorney Park and Six Flags. Those parks are so commercial now that... More

I have been going there for years with the kids and never had a real complaint other than the food in the park. Never worth the money (go figure) other than the soft serve Ice Cream shop. Always packed the ice chest with the kids for a break from the park and worked well. Rides were almost ALWAYS worth the... More

We live in NY and for the past 6 years have visited Williamsburg, supposedly for all the attractions but Water Country is really what keeps us coming back. It's clean, the staff are friendly and courteous and if you get there right at opening time you can do most of the popular rides at least a couple of times without... More
