We ranged from 70 to 4 years old. There is something for everyone. The water rides were fantastic. We rented a cabana for the family, and I'd recommend it. What a great day!

Long lines, expensive food, quick queue for the rich. The wait time to ride mediocre rides was awful. I’m not in a hurry to go back. Couple rides were shut down

Really enjoy coming here. Nice clean park. A lot to do for everyone. Great water slides. Really love hubba highway. Make sure to bring sunscreen. Wave pool is nice. A lot of places to just sit and relax as well

This is a wonderful place to take teens or young children to enjoy a wet/ wild day! Adults can enjoy activities as well, having fun with family. Food, and gifts are pricy because you can't bring anything in. So have lots of money for those items. But over all it was a fantastic experience. My grandchild loved the wave pool.

Great family day, on a Tuesday, in early June 2022, with 2 kids under 12, and parents with mobility issues. Clean and beautiful water park with interesting and exciting water rides. I do recommend arriving 30-45 min early to obtain the quick pay band and be one of the first people in the park. I don’t recommend paying for preferred parking. It was a waste of money. A huge thank you to ambassador Travis who helped my daughter when she was separated from us and got lost. Food is regular theme park food but I did notice that many food kiosks were closed, which was disappointing. Very nice lifeguards and staff though. We will return. All in all, a great day.

We enjoyed our day trip here but the food is awful and very expensive. $14 for a cheese burger that tastes like cardboard! $5 for a fountain soda. $16 for a individual sized pizza. $8 for a pudding cup. Bring your own food or eat after you leave.

The park was severely understaffed with lines often taking far longer than necessary to proceed, due half of the rides being unoperated.

You can get great coupons to save on admission, and it is a very fun place for the family. It can get really crowded, so be mindful of that!

We've attended this park for over a decade and it's always been good fun for kids/adults alike. Best option is to get a 2-park pass with BG-= go to Busch in the morning, then WC in the afternoon to cool off! GET THERE EARLY FOR GOOD PARKING. Food is decent park fare with reasonable prices. Fun member parties every now and then with give-aways.

This park is my family’s favorite spot to hit in the early morning while sitting in the cabana. This park is family friendly and beautiful. We have our family reunion here every since 2009.

Hello Kids and I plan to go next week could you please tell me what rides will be close ? We are avid riders and after all the complains about park being half close we are very skeptic. Thank you very much!

Do any of the eating areas have high chairs for toddlers?
Can you wear sunglasses on all the water rides?

I wouldn't recommend that for the faster slides. The tube rides should be ok, but they may ask you to remove them unless you have a safety strap.

is there a discounted rate for someone who will not actually be using the water park but there with the family just watching

I asked this question last August, the answer was no. Anyone entering had to pay the full amount due to not being able to monitor if someone is in the water or on the rides.
is there a souvenir bottle(cold drinks)
cup that is for both Water country usa AND Busch garden..or do you have to purchase a souvenir cup at each park,

I am not aware of any souvenir bottle with both on them but I am not much of a souvenir person. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

In 2019, is there free shaded seating available anywhere? I heard that existed on rock n roll island and hubba highway in the past - but is that still the case this year?
