"One of the best water parks I have ever been to"

Reviewed November 06, 2024

It was amazing. First, the people at the park listened to us when we needed something. Second, the water slides are amazing. The only problem I would say is that the wave pool only stays on for 0 minutes at a time with a 20 minute wait.

"Poor customer service-you will get ignored"

Reviewed July 22, 2024

I bought a ticket on-line for my daughter to go to Hurricane Harbor with her friends in June. We waited until it stopped raining and arrived to the park at 12:45. As we arrived, we saw the lifeguards leaving and we're informed that they were closing the park at 1:00, even though the rain had stopped. When we asked for a rain check or for the value to be applied towards Six Flags amusement park, no one seemed to know how to help. We were instructed to call PayPal or our bank to get a refund since they closed early. However, when PayPal contacted the park, they deny the case. There is no direct number to call the park so I chatted with someone on-line who told me to contact paypal. Again, Hurricane Harbor denied the case for a second time. So, I contacted Hurricane Harbor again and was informed that I would be connected to a life person. I waited for 40 minutes and was never connected. I contacted them again via chat and was informed someone would contact me in 24 hours. That never happened. So so not waste your time buying a ticket online.
