What Visitors Say
Bring your own food and drinks or eat before arriving. Food options at Castaway Island are very expensive, and visitors recommend packing meals if possible to save money.
The Lazy River (lagoon) is the highlight attraction. However, watch small children carefully in the section near the entrance where water backwashes into a culvert—kids can get temporarily stuck there.
Arrive early on weekdays to avoid crowds. Weekends and nice weather days draw large crowds with potential wait times to enter the park.
There is very limited shade throughout the park. Bring an umbrella, wear sunscreen, and plan for sun protection, especially on sunny days.
The park has only one entrance/exit, so security is tight but means limited ways in and out. Plan your arrival accordingly and be aware entry/exit lines can form during peak times.
