💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Bring a change of clothes and plan to spend the full day - Waterfall Junction is included with Riverbanks Zoo admission, so you can visit both the water park and explore the Botanical Gardens in one trip
  • 💡Watch young children closely on the splash pad and playground areas - the cement flooring can be slick and slippery, causing falls. Wear water shoes or sandals with good grip
  • 💡Budget extra for food and drinks - prices are on the higher side typical of zoo venues. Consider bringing your own snacks or eating before arriving to save money
  • 🕐Arrive early to beat crowds, especially during summer weekends - reviews mention the park can get quite crowded in certain areas
  • 💡The splash pad and playground are the main attractions alongside unique features like the tree house, dino dig, and giant legos - perfect for cooling off while enjoying multiple activity options
