We arrived at the waterpark on a friday at about 12:30 pm with our two children ages 6 and 10. We had heard the park was very crowded and knew we probably would not get a seat. (We were right). We found a small area of open pavment and layed out our towels. (which really sucks after paying $110.00 to get in). They had very nice private rental areas with shade, tables and lounge chairs for $75.00 a day, but even though several where vacant we were told they we already reserved. ( several remaind empty the entire day). The wave pool was so crowded that you were constantly running into someone and seemed impossible to keep an eye on your children. The lazy river was nice, but again way to many people. The line for the one waterslide that I rode was 45 minutes long. (fun ride, but not worth the wait). Our lunch of hamburgers and chicken fingers cost about $50.00. We had hoped that towards the evening hours it would not be so crowded, but again we were wrong. The childrens play area was nice and my children did enjoy that. Also on a positive the lifeguards did seem to be on the ball and there were plenty of them, ( which made me feel a little better). We did stay untill about 8:00 pm to get our money's worth, and because we knew we would not be back.

Where to begin? This park is good if you are parents of small to middle-school aged children. I think high school kids and beyond would be bored because the lines are long, there aren't that many slides at all (you'll see), and it's expensive for what it is. The food is of poor quality and also expensive. Pretty much it's geared toward 10 year olds give or take a few years. True value should be like $12 to get in.

First of all it is a bit pricey but other than that you can't beat the variety of waterslides for all ages. We went with 4 kids ages 9, 7, 3 and 4months and everyone had fun. I do suggest that if you go you get there 1/2 hour before it opens so that you can get a good seat. The only cons would be that there is only one big umbrella with about 16 lounge chairs under so that you could have some shade and that you have to rent a raft to use in the lazy river and wave pool.
