This collection of amusements is perfect for children. Away from the rougher types in downtown Ocean City, it's conveniently located just over the border in Delaware. It took us less than fifteen minutes to get there from 45th Street. Tickets were easy and a great value with discounts for younger children (based on height) and seniors (60+). Our grandchildren loved every minute. A couple of times, as kids will do, they were out of sight for a few moments. We never worried. The customers were as friendly as the staff. You know an amusement business is well-run when they have adequate staff on duty. Most attractions in OCMD were operating with reduced numbers and quality of staff compared to previous years. After getting as wet as possible, we got something to eat. The quality was good and service fast and courteous. We didn't try the mini golf or race cars (kids were too little) but others were enjoying the variety after splashing in the waterpark. All in all, a great vacation day. Don't go to Ocean City or lower Delaware without spending time here. The kids are still talking about it and want to go again today.

My 6 & 10 yr old grandsons loved this park. We got the 4-hour pass and they spent all the time. There isn’t a lot for teens/adults-only 2 slides big enough for older kids.
There’s a nice lazy river, 3 smaller slides, a tipping bucket/ship, along with a 0-entry pool and splash pad area.
Staff was friendly and seemed well staffed with the life guards. It’s a relatively small park, but perfect for the 12 & under crowd.
We were there on a Sunday in July and I was surprised it never got crowded; plenty of chairs and shaded area. The park was clean, as well.
Appreciated their military discount.

We took our daughter to the park at the end of July on a very hot Sunday morning. We did the lay river twice then, our daughter did the first small white water slide, she loved it. Then she and I did the large slide in the tandem tube. We went down really fast since I’m 6 ft 3 230lbs. Then she did the slide without the tube multiple times. She was fearless and enjoyed every moment.

Took 4 grandchildren, 2-8 years old. Great time, great value. We love this place, something for all the kids to do, clean pools, easy to keep track of kids. Just the right size for younger families, 2 hours was plenty of time. Go early

Staying in Rehoboth beach, we had the choice of Jungle Jims, Midway or this. We choose Thunder Lagoon because of the reasonable prices and good reviews.
Overall the value is there, $20 for two hours in the water park. There are only two slides for kids over 8 though, and the lazy river. Compared to the other alternatives, this is definitely the most reasonable. Just come knowing there won't be a ton of variety.

My family and I were staying in Ocean City, MD and my stepson wanted to ride go karts. I checked the prices at the Jolly Roger go karts in OC and they were really expensive, especially for all of us to do it. So, we did a little research and found this place. The go karts are much, much cheaper which meant that we could all ride. And this place was a short drive down the road from Ocean City. We had a good experience here and would go back.

Suitable for kids with some slides limited to those over 42 inches in height, and one slide limited to over 48 inches in height. Rates are for 2 hours or for an extra $5 another 2 hours. The website has link with pictures and rates.
There were plenty of life guards, with one even in the water at the bottom of the largest two slides to help kids and adults dislodge themselves from the tubes.
There is seating at tables and lounge chairs, but only lounge chairs around the pool where the largest slides come down. This isolates you from the seeing the rest of the water park, but allows a good view of kids as they exit the largest two slides.
For smaller kids there are three slides, plus the lazy river.
Parking is tight, especially from 11:30-3 when it gets busy.
Overall the water park is in great shape, clean and well maintained, perfect for a couple of hours when you don't want whole beach mess.

Everything you could want in one place! They have mini-golf, a waterpark, go karts, pizza, popcorn, ice-cream, and more! I have worked there before and I noticed that the owners pay special attention to quality and customer satisfaction.

I think it was $25 for 3-4 hours and $20 for 2. If you onto their webpage they'll have coupons most of the time.

Would there be anything there for a 2 1/2 year old to do and also would a 15 year old be interested?
