Review of Split Rock H20 Water Park

Overall, our experience here was pleasant. The water park access was included with the price of our room which was really awesome that we didn t have to pay out of pocket for it alone. The cost was very appropriate and we did not feel we paid too much to stay here.

The water park was very kid friendly. All the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. My boyfriend and I came on a Friday night and we had tons of fun even though there didn t seem too much for adults. We were bummed that the hot tub was closed but we understand because of covid. The only complaint that I have about the water park is that the lifeguard staff except for maybe a few are very distracted on their phones while guarding, spinning around in circles and staring at the ceiling. Being a guard myself I was horrified to see the laziness of these guards because it only takes one time for someone to drown. My boyfriend and I came out of a water slide and fell out our tubes which was so fun, but the entire time the lifeguard s back was to us and he didn t turn around until we were out of the water. If Ellis or Red Cross were to come audit this place, they would be shut down in a minute due to the incompetence of the lifeguards.

The pool in the main building was warm and relaxing and we had a great time. Again, no hot tub but that s okay! We then ended our night at the Thirsty Moose, which was really fun! Drinks not too expensive, and we had the whole place to ourselves for most of the night. Pete was super nice and was chatting with us all night. Fries are amazing btw.

In the middle of the night, we were awoken by the screams of the people in the room next to us. The walls seem to be pretty thin, and we had to turn on the heater to drown out the noise. The rooms were dated and the hallways had a little smell, but it was nothing to really complain about. It was a nice experience overall and we would definitely come back when things are more upgraded and back to normal if this pandemic ends. It was super cozy and had a camp feel which we both loved.

The breakfast area was nice, the staff was kind and coffee was great. We sat down and ate breakfast before leaving and it was a pleasant way to end our stay.

All in all, we would recommend staying here, especially if you have kids who love activities and water parks! As two adults, we still had a lot of fun!
