💬 What Visitors Say

• 🕐Visit on weekdays during the week when the park opens (11 AM), as summer vacation crowds are significantly lighter, making it worth the drive even from an hour away
• 💡Bring your own bath towels - the park does not provide them, and you'll need one after leaving the water as the wind can make it feel cold
• 💬Height requirement of 48 inches unlocks many of the most exciting attractions; if your child is under 48 inches, don't worry as there are dedicated play areas for younger children, but plan accordingly for your itinerary
• 💡The park does not have popcorn available on-site - if you want popcorn, purchase it from the adjacent Great America playground and bring it into the water park before changing clothes
• 💡The park maintains excellent cleanliness and has abundant lifeguard coverage throughout all areas, making it a safe choice for families with young children who will be closely supervised
