💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive within the first hour of opening (10:30am or 2:30pm session start) to secure lounge chairs and seating, as they fill up quickly on a first-come, first-served basis. After the first hour on weekends, the park gets packed and chairs become unavailable.
- Bring unopened water bottles to avoid expensive concession prices (like $14 funnel fries). You can also leave the park to eat your own food by getting a hand stamp for re-entry.
- Rent a locker ($5 small or $10 large) to secure valuables during your session. The park is small and well-designed for supervising kids, making it easy to manage belongings.
- Cowabunga is ideal for families with young children across all age groups (2-4, 5-7, 8-12+). The toddler/kiddie area is excellent, and many slides allow parents to accompany small children, making it great for multi-age families.
- Parking lot fills up quickly, especially in afternoons. If the main lot is full, use overflow parking in the adjacent strip shopping center and walk to the check-in entrance.
