We stayed at Fort Rapids with a school group. The waterpark itself was great fun. Some fantastic slides, nice pools, a nice arcade section, etc. It is more than I would normally expect for an indoor waterpark. Absolutely no complaints with this. The hotel itself is a different discussion entirely. We had an individual room in the "tower" section of... More

We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your room in the tower, we understand you were frustrated about various issues with your room . We admit that the tower rooms are a bit dated, but are glad to announce that there are plans to update them in the near future. We are happy to hear that... More

This is the second indoor waterpark we stayed at so we had expectations. We loved the waterpark, it was awesome for little ones and had enough that our older son wasn't bored. Many of the attractions could have used some paint or replacements. The arcade had a lot of "out of order" games not necessarily marked as such, and the... More

We checked in on a Friday afternoon- polite front desk, got a room on the 7th floor. The decor is western and overall pleasant. The lobby has a beautiful fireplace with worn couches. The building is a bit run down (it's an old Holiday Inn highrise...10 floors maybe?). Carpets are old, rooms are showing their age, but no bed bugs... More

I have never written a review before but I could not let my experience go to the wayside. The bathrooms in the waterpark area were disgusting. I told an employee that look like a manager about it and he said he would get housekeeping on it. That was Saturday evening. The next morning we went back to the waterpark and... More

We are sorry that your visit to Fort Rapids did not meet your expectations, and the waterpark was not in the conditions it should have been. We are currently working on improving the way our staff does business, as we know there are some issues that need addressed immediately. We would really appreciate it if you would call and speak...

Had a blast, the indoor park was clean, the room were decent and the hotel staff was great. The price was right and would go back. The only problem was it was packed that day and there were not enough rafts to go around and some of the lifeguards are absolutely worthless. There were two life guards / employees at... More

This was our 3rd trip to Fort Rapids since 2009. We had really great times our first 2 visits, so I don't know why I decided to look it up on TripAdvisor the night before we were to go. Needless to say I was a bit surprised at the negative posts, as we had never experienced anything like what was... More

The waterpark was great fun for our daredevil 8 year old and also for our somewhat cautious 5 year old. There was plenty of activities for both kids and neither were ready to leave at the end of the day even knowing they would be back the next morning. There were plenty of lifeguards to ensure safety and keep some... More

Pros: We had our granddaughters 5th birthday at the water park, it cost $275 for 13 swimmers. Roughly $20 per kid, for 3 hours of water park use. Not bad i guess, the kids loved it, lots of areas to play in. Room provided for the party after swimming was decent size and kids got unlimited drinks and a bag... More

This was a spur of the moment trip for us. We had never been to Fort Rapids before, but found it to be very enjoyable. Our children had a great time on the water slides. We have been to Great Wolf Lodge several times and find it comparable. The resort does however, need some renovations and in some areas maintenance... More
