Overall the place was nice (a little dated in some areas) and we had a good time. Its one of the biggest water parks in the area and they also have rides, putt-putt, and go carts. They even have a food cort and a small store where you can purchase towels, bathing suits, sun screen and etc. The main reason I gave it a 3 star rating is because I feel like its a little expensive for what it is. The ticket for just the water park is $17.50 per person or $28.99 for both parks. They have lockers all over the park and they are $5 plus $5 deposit for a small or $7 for large. They have several awesome water slides but it gets so packed that you spend 90% of your time waiting in line in the sun and heat. We waited almost 40 mins for one ride to be told when we got to the top that you werent allowed to go on the slide with pull over or shirts on over your bathing suits because they may come off. We turned around and didnt go on that one because we are both a little self conscious and because I was worried that if it might pull my shirt off it might pull my bikini top off if I didnt have a top on. Because of that and how long lines were (even early in the day/on a overcast day) we were only able to do 2 water slides and did a couple laps in the "slow" river. We got lunch from the food court, half the food doesnt look like what they advertise on their menus. I spent a little over $9 for a smoked sausage on a sub bun and some cringle cut fries. It wasnt horrible, kinda reminded me of elementary school food. We really enjoyed what rides we were able to do but we werent able to do a lot of stuff and we got there about 11:15am on an overcast day. They are only open until 6pm for the water park and 7pm for the rest. We left around 4pm because it started storming. If you want to do everything then get there at opening, stay to close and be prepared to for long waits, maybe if it isnt as busy then you will be able to get everything done so its worth the cost.

I visited this park with my niece. It is a decent park. Even in the dead of summer it wasnt so busy that you couldnt ride the rides quickly. The reason for the two star rating is because two of their major attractions werent functioning while I was there. As you can see in the picture I posted two of their large slides werent working (note there is no water flowing on the slide). Also their wave pool was out of order. Both my niece and wife were really looking forward to the wave pool. I do not feel they should charge full price when major items are out of order. The food court was actually pretty decent. They had a much larger variety than I expected. The restrooms appeared clean to me, but my niece complained about the womens restroom smelling like cat pee. If you can afford it, I would recommend one of the cabanas. We got the clamshell cabana for $50. It was nice to have a bit of shade and somewhere reserved to sit. The other cabanas are completely covered and include a table and fans.

Well faqs for one dont cover resort check in policies. Was told to got to ticket booth outside then was told to go back inside after already waiting inline inside (also the computers in 21 of the booths were not working and was told to yet again go to another line). Then sales manager lady (orange shirt) was not to friendly and was told my tickets were not signed by concierge and we did not have our resort wrists bands (even though I had mine on but the kids did not) and was told to wait while other resort checking even from our resort got pushed right through. They had to call to verify we were indeed staying at the resort and to make sure "we did not Ill legally obtain them"? At least the young girl who finally got us in was friendly. I can subggest check with your resort before coming down. Short tempered, under staffed and under trained. No thank you. Ill stay at the beach next time.

Took my Girl Scout troop here during the summer and we had a wonderful time. I knew exactly when admission was regularly priced and when the prices dropped - its right there on the website in plain view, all you have to do is read. Slides were awesome: the girls (and this leader!) loved the Cliff Diver, Dark Hole, and White Water Express. We were there in the height of summer, in the mid-afternoon the lines got a little long, but we didnt wait over 15-20 minutes for the popular ones. Park was clean when we got there, a bit litter strewn when we left (guests can be real slobs); you pay more for food than at a fast food restaurant but we brought a picnic to eat outside the gate. We didnt bother with the rides - we were there for the water. Were planning on going again!

While we were there seen two people in need of at least a life guard attention, but they never got out of their chair one guy ( life guard ) the h2o race had no clue. I had to jump the wall to check on a kid that the mat had came out from underneath him and he hit hes face. Secondly I went to food court....OMG these people hate their job. I asked if anything was gluten free and man you would have thought I was speaking greek. There were two ladies talking softly after I asked, so I asked what they were talking about....she said it was my fault if something was to happen to me. Because I told them it would make me sick.

THIS PLACE IS CRAP. I took 10 of us to go to this park because it seemed like a great deal online it is posted that AFTERNOON prices are 16.98 i dont know where these people are from but if you post the term AFTERNOON that means any time after 12pm the price is what you posted it as. They then did nothing to make up for there fake pricing if you go to this park you will be very sad that you wasted your time to even walk to the front door. i have to give this place a star rating and -5 is not an option. hate this place hate everyone that works everything to do with this place is scum

Very poorly ran park! My 7 year old daughter mistakenly misunderstood instructions from one of the kids running the go carts and Kenny Lang who is one of the managers had them mark her arm band to be banned from riding for an hour. Kenny was very rude. I seen the same Kenny Lang yelling at some kid later in the park. Kenny should not be managing something full of kids. DO NOT pay for full park. Its not worth it. The water park is okay. Got served cold fries at the food court. The upkeep is not very good either. Pay the extra cash and go to Myrtle waves. Much better park
