Review of Fort Rapids Indoor Water Park ...

We have been here twice before (in 2013) and thing...

We have been here twice before (in 2013) and things went pretty smoothly both times staying in the hotel and the water park. This time it was a completely different story. We only came for the water park and half of the stuff was closed (the pool with basketball hoops and the lily pads, the lazy river, all the slides that don't require a tube not in the kiddie area, and the green tube slide). The water was freezing!!!!! Especially in the kiddie area where they allow everyone to open the doors to go out and smoke which might be contributing to it. I asked a lifeguard about the temp. as we have been here before and it was never an issue. She claimed they were having trouble with their heating system. It was so cold that our children's lips were blue and we only ended up staying for a few hours. We arrived at 12pm and they didn't open up the lazy river until after 2pm and one slide. Then they finally opened the other pool around 2:30. Honestly, I couldn't figure out why they weren't open. The only thing I can speculate on is that they were short staffed as everything was in working order.
The locker rooms are a whole story of their own. Dirty, toilets not flushing, no toilet paper, and neither swimsuit dryer worked (in either the men's or the women's locker room). My husband reported no toilet paper in the men's locker room for hours and that it was extremely small-2 toilets and 2 urinals.
This was definitely our last trip to Fort Rapids.
