"First and only time for us…"

Reviewed March 09, 2025 NEW

Very busy and just a money grab. They charge nightly for parking, have additional overpriced activities for purchase. Like a small round of mini golf for like $30 per family. But the worst part was it was a struggle everyday to get a tube, especially if you wanted a double. Room wax nice, but older and the bathroom was TINY. Also had the sink in the main room. Which I dislike because it wakes people at night.

"Lobby has no chairs, seriously?"

Reviewed February 16, 2025 NEW

There is no furniture in the lobby at all. It was removed during the pandemic and still not returned. Literally, nowhere to sit. It's ridiculous. Also it is now 15 dollars per 24 hours to park. Some outside company is managing their parking lot. Third, no cash accepted period. I sent the kids and I was going to take a shower, nope, 10 minutes later they were texting and calling me. Ok, my kid is 12 and can walk around but I prefer not a carte blanche wristband or my credit card. I'm sorry but that was stupid. Now I'm sitting on a wooden ledge in their dumb no furniture lobby in case the kids want to spend money. Totally frutrated. So I guess I'm not taking a shower? Thanks.

"Waited to check in with poor customer service response and price gauging"

Reviewed February 16, 2025 NEW

Parking application delays entry 30 minutes and staff is flippant so do not expect smooth entry or rational approach to customer service just charge ridiculous amounts and take your business for granted. I advise arriving an hour early to deal with the hassle caused by poor standard operating procedure if you want to pass with this hellish experience but money goes farther if you go somewhere else.

"Loved it but lacked some stuff"

Reviewed February 16, 2025 NEW

Ok so it was good. We drove up from Indiana and it was pretty worth it. So we got there and check on was great. After check in we went to the water park and ate some pizza and my sister didn't like it but she loves pizza. But, then I went to actually go swimming in the water park and it was pretty good accept for the wave pool. It was filled gross stuff at the bottom of it. So after the water park we went to our hotel room it was hard to find but it was nice. I had the best night of sleep ever. In the morning breakfast was great and I wish there was a microwave in the room because we had to walk all the way down the hall just to cook a bagel. After that we went to the water park again and I have never in such a nice water park before, it was better than the one in my city in Indiana I loved this one.

"Fun, but water park could do better"

Reviewed February 08, 2025

I’ll start with this: my kids loved the experience. That said, many things could be improved. The staff is amazing. The magic wand thing is a money sink, but my kids truly loved it, so it was worth it. Bowling, climbing wall, the peak thing, all great and really add loads to the experience. Food is okay. Standard for this kind of place. But the main show, the water park, needs more attention. There aren’t enough chairs, so be prepared to walk a lot trying to find one. The lines for whirlwind and canyon run were just unbelievable. We only went once because it was near impossible. And once you get up there, you notice the line is slow not because one group needs to wait for the other one to arrive at the pool exit, not because it takes time to receive instructions and set up. It is slow because there are only 2 or 3 inflatables going down and up! They are shared between both rides. And you are there stuck waiting for the next inflatable to arrive. Come on, you have a huge elevator setup, just add more inflatables and speed up these lines!
