I went here as a kid a ton and promised my kids we would go - well it is LONG past it's glory days of the 90's! They have removed all of the slides that you can sit down on; now all of them you have to lug a tube up 5 flights of stairs. They are now ripping out the best ride (Raging River) nothing on the website or map that says this - many people were very upset. They removed the ability to just play in the activity pool - you jump in and have to get out immediately.
They removed the use of floaties in the wave pool, so now I'm not so sure what the point of a wave pool is if you can't ride the waves on anything? They removed a couple of hot tubs, so screw you if you want to warm up. There is no reason to rent a tube because there is no where you can use them (not allowed on any rides or pools)-so it is purely a way to steal your money. They removed all the grassy areas to install $200 rental cabanas so there is no where to just sit and relax. The signage is so bad it is difficult to figure out what to do (example: the Konga Slides you have to walk a really long way to find the area to get the tubes and then walk back to the stairs. But there is no sign anywhere that tells you this). They have a new lazy river, but I saw two long lines of people waiting for a tube - but there is no rule that people have to get out, so you just wait forever until someone decides they want to get out and give their tube to you (of course there is no instructions on this anywhere). The lifeguards made me remove my WATER shoes to go on the slides, that is what I bought them for!! The lake where you could rent paddleboats and relax by is now a giant ugly hole full of mud. My kids were very bored quickly, so only take younger kids up to about 9 - they have a great kid water play area for little ones - but if you went here during it's best days, it will be a HUGE disappointment now - I will never drive two hours to go here again. Luckily, Tulalip is building an even larger water park. Unless Wild Waves gets some kind of substantial investment and better ownership, it needs to just die already.
