Review of Crystal Springs Family Waterpa...

It was okay, but I didn't like having to pay extra for being a non-resident. I understand why they did it, but it's still unfair. The pools were fun, and it was a good experience. The waiting lines were incredibly long for most of the attractions. We were waiting about 50 minutes just to get into the park, and 15 minutes to get on the lazy river.

I was going to rate this 4 stars, until something that happened near the end of my visit. I was waiting on the water slide(there are only 2 working, each line was a very long wait also) when I got stung by a bee. Luckily I wasn't allergic, but I still went to the first aid office. When I told the guy there that I got stung while waiting for the slides, he said, "Yeah, there are a lot of bees around that area." What if I had been allergic? If someone who's allergic to bee stings went to the water slides, there would be a good chance that they could've been stung. The staff may not be able to do anything about the bees, but they could at least post notices near the entrance.
It was a good water park, but I wouldn't recommend going if you are allergic to bee stings, or not willing to wait near the entrance for an hour on a hot day. Additionally, if you are planning on driving far to come, don't bother. It's not that much of a water park, unless you want to spend all day playing basketball.
