VERY disappointed and we're going to check out other options next time.
Awful experience. Admission is reasonable, but they hit you with parking, and tube rental fees. Bigger issue is lines.Lines are just to long to enjoy any of the rides. Like very long.... crazy long. I can't say it enough. On average 45-60 minute wait. per ride. Stay away from this water park. Much better water park options a little further North.
They use small crushed stones in the flower or shrubbery beds and even in picnic areas so you're getting stabbed in the feet with every step because, of course, people have kicked the rocks everywhere.
The smell of raw sewage was present near several rides. Several pool or slide exits were filled with cloudy water. There's a distinct lack of signs for what is allowed and what isn't, so lifeguards spend a decent amount of time blowing their whistles at children (and adults) telling them or correcting them instead of keeping an eye out for people in actual distress.
Park in good shape. Long lines for rides and slides. I buy season passes during Black Friday. Wave pool usually crowded. Food a little pricey and usually a wait. After four you can park for free. $5 for all day parking. Minus the crowds, you can have a good time.
Over loaded with picnic-ers, which would be fine except it made the park dirty. And because it was a mess there were seagulls everywhere, crapping on everything, including the water.
Cabana prices wouldn't have been so bad if there were any real benefit to renting one - there's no food or drink servers that comes around, premium cabanas are located in a place where you have to walk the furthest because they don't want to pay a gatekeeper on both sides of the wave pool to keep tabs on who's supposed to be in that area and who's not. Not that it matters because all that stopped (or didn't stop) people was a low slung rope. Slide/ride selection was fine but the waits were ridiculously long. Think about it this way, you may wait 40 to 50 minutes for a slide that lasts all of 8 seconds - hardly worth it.
Try and visit once a year! I rented a cabana during our last trip and will do that from now on! Worth the money! The cabana location I chose was near the wave pool and it was perfect! My son LOVES the wave pool so i could keep an eye on him while relaxing between getting on slides :-)
We will never be back. It was a hard time navigating to some of the rides and wasn't going to carry a paper map on water rides. Every ride was close to an hour long, and we went as a group of 3 which made it harder, had to leave lines because of wait time. The organization waiting for tubes was so chaotic we rented tubes only to have them stolen while waiting in line. We were able to get new ones after having to walk to the other side of the park, and more than half the day the wave pool was broken. The lines were so long my daughter was in tears, literally, and just wanted to leave. We brought our own food which is a plus. Seagulls were everywhere, but considering the ground was clean. If guests picked up after themselves it could be more manageable. Then leaving was another mess. No one directing traffic, took almost an hour to just get out of the park. We had no problems with staff, lifeguards were attentive and active at all times. People need to understand this is a water park and the guards need to be strict to keep all guests safe, rules are in place for a reason. Overall, we will never be back. Would prefer to spend what it cost me here to go to Disney, Great Wolf Lodge, or Coco Keys.
