Noah's Ark Waterpark Reviews

Fun water park, but not very modern and lots of hills to walk up and down while going from one attraction to the next. Most of the day was pleasant. I noticed that they have many attentive life guards, which is certainly a good from a safety standpoint. One issue that was frustrating was when we tried to watch their 4-D movie. We walked up a large hill to the building it was in. There was a sign there that simply stated "Plays every 15 minutes, wait at door outside building and staff will open door for next movie." We waited during normal park hours (and maybe longer than 15 minutes - no clock around and no waterproof watch) and still nothing... Theater apparently isn't open during all park hours. It would have been really nice if they had the hours of operation posted, maybe a clock? and at a minimum had at least put a sign up to indicate that it was currently closed. Other than that experience, it was generally a fun day and the kids enjoyed themselves.

Great place for all ages. Good food and short lines. Very clean

The kids loved it. Great options for water fun or just to sit a relax in the sun for adults and kids alike.

Grew up going here and now we take our kids here. Great place. Get the online deal for cheaper tickets.

Paid $170 for 4 people. Was there 2 hours and the parked closed due to a storm and they dont give refunds. Quite a few of the rides were closed down. Won't be my 1st choice for sure next time.

In desperate need of updates! This place used to be so amazing..... loved going here as a kid..

I don't know of a better water park on the planet. I have taken my kids here every year for the last 9 years. Ticket prices are fair and they have great rides. Absolutely love this place!

Not very impressed with how they handled the covid-19 situation today. I purchased tickets earlier in the week. Checked daily( including before we drove 3 hrs to get there to make sure they would be open) to find out by one random guy standing in the entrance that the park would be closed to day because of a covid 19 case. I asked him about refunds and was told to email Noah's ark and ask for refund. I have but have yet to get a response.
Then to top it all off that was my only spending money so I had to drive back home with upset kids and wasted time plus taking off work. I hope this gets rectified quickly. Please let me be clear...I am not mad they closed, I understood that, I will be more upset if money for 6 tickets and the parking pass is not refunded.

Had a great time at the waterpark. So many lifeguards there to keep you safe. They also do weight and height checks for the more intense rides. Very clean facility.

Me and a friend went on the last day of the season this year. I am so glad we did.

My family has been coming here for 30 years, we did not come in2013, and decided to come this year and bring our 13 month old grandson. What a disappointment. We paid 120.00 for 4 tickets, had to wait forever in the lines. the toddler pools, had chipped paint, ice cold water, water guns that did not work. We had to pay for parking, lockers for the day, come on really! The bathrooms, smelt so soooooooooooooooooo bad you could of vomited. Life guards very unfriendly, don't understand what you are asking. Lets give out more free tickets to the lower class hotels, they are destroying your name. Will never come again unless things change. It is very sad to see the best water park go done the drain. Our hotel the Kalahari was more fun, no lines and was immaculately clean. No comparison. You will soon be shutting the place down, look in the mirror.

I understand limiting the number of guests, due to Covid-19, and I understand restrictions and can abide by them without complaint; however, it was frustrating to pay for our whole family online and arrive to find out my three year old paid, but couldn t play on anything, because corporate decided all children s structures should be shut down! I also didn t understand why you have only one side of your big rides open? You increase the large number of people waiting in close proximity by only having one lane open, not to mention the amount of time they are in close contact. The slide my big kids came for was closed. The sign out front said it would be open, and the sign as you exit the premise is the only place where we saw a list of closed rides. Most shops and food places were closed, which again I can understand certain things, but it was a lot of money for a little fun! I guess it looked like a water park graveyard where huge portions were closed! Just odd for the price and not sharing with anyone that the littles can t actually do anything and pay full price! Staff was friendly! That was a plus!

Had a great time, all rides were open, but many of the extra slides were closed on said rides causing longer lines on a not so crazy busy day.

Got decent ticket prices online.

My only real complaint, and hence the star drop, was the Kaha ride. I apparently picked up a tube that was "over inflated" according to the worker, which resulted in me getting stuck like every 10-20 feet. The tube was among all the other tubes and looked no different. Not a huge problem until I got stuck 5 feet before the drop off and was worried I'd get launched out of the tube. Meh, would have added to the adventure I guess.

*Worker noticed after I had already launched apparently.

Anyway, kid had fun, we had fun. Good times.

People complaining about cold water....really? It's a water park.

The water park was amazing and like previous reviews said the food was overpriced but the reason I only gave 4 stars was because the 99% of the employees didn't speak English and could not communicate the rules and safety measures of the rides which is pretty scary considering some of the slides are 10 stories tall there are certain ways these slides have to be riden and there was 0% communication in that aspect other than that our overall experience was good will def go back just hoping next time we have better lifeguards that can explain to ppl what needs to be done to have the best experience without getting hurt

Definitely the world's largest waterpark. Very large

Awesome experience! Lots of variety of areas to play. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional. Park provided with a meal for our group, which had plenty of delicious food.
4 star because the water was a bit too cold, but overall great place.

Tons of fun. Need to get in early otherwise you won't be able to play all of them. Charged extra $15 or $18 for parking. All of the games are outdoor. Felt cold if windy.

Always a good time! We went on a Sunday and the weather was gorgeous and tons of people there. Some lines were long but to be expected. Still had fun with the family!

Nice waterpark, but a lot of the signs need to be replaced do to them being so faded or rubbed off where you can't read the safety instructions.

Very understaffed. Couldn t even stand up at surfing ride. Surfing pressure way to strong. No food service for vip Cabana guests. Only 3 big slides open.

best water park. we go 3 or 4 times every summer. bring a sack lunch, better/ cheaper than the food inside.

Our family had a blast! It was raining so the park was nearly empty and we didn t have to wait in line. The slides are a blast!

Hands down best waterpark. So many attractions and things to do and the wait in the lines isn't bad at all, 30 min max. 2 wave pools and the pricing for the food isn't that bad, average $8. Parking and lockers are the only RIP off here, 20 for parking and 15-25 for a locker.

Rented a Cabana! Super worth it. Staff was very nice.

Noah s has always been the BEST waterpark. It doesn t attack anywhere near the amount of rifraff that Mt O does. Also, Noah s provides a better parking experience. You don t have to walk 5 miles from your car to get to the park. Mt O does that to discourage you from returning to your car for a more modest lunch. They basically make you buy their bad overpriced food. Noah s is so so so much better. They even provide shelters and tables so you can eat your lunch. It was disappointing Noah s started charging $20 for parking (truly outrageous) but I m local so we got the season parking at a reasonable rate.

We had discount tickets from the hotel, so it was 10 instead of the regular 40 to get in. I really wish the food wasn't so expensive. At the very least, a water bottle or drink shouldn't be over 2 dollars, and I thought parjing should be much less than 15 dollars.....Otherwise, it was great.

Scorpion's tail is terrifyingly addicting. Raja is a fun variant of the stingray. Black Anaconda is a fun coaster / slide hybrid. Other slides pretty fun as well. Not too crowded, even on July 4th. Fun park.

Fun place for families, but if you go on a weekday expect closed rides and horrible staff. It all started at the parking gate. Rude employee that barely spoke English. Then the entrance gate. We had a coupon and the guy, again couldn't speak English, immediately asked for help. Second guy couldn't figure it out either, so called in a third who finally figured it out. We had reserved a Cabana (something I assume is fairly common) so asked where to go to get it and again took two people. The Cabana desk gave us a key for a locker that nobody could find so we had to go back and get a different key. At this point, we had lost almost an hour of fun time just trying to get settled. The good thing about a cool, little sprinkle of rain, Thursday is the lines were super short and we had a lot of fun on the rides. Just don't talk to or need the staff for anything and you'll have a great time.

Side note on Wisconsin Dells as a whole. I came here every summer as a kid and it has gone downhill. Noah's Ark hasn't been updated much in 30 years. Mt. Olympus has bought up all the other property and turned it into a junky cheap resort dump. Sad to see. This town could be awesome.

Fantastic place to slide the hundred year anniversary car show

Waaaayyyyyy too expensive! Fun but left my wallet crying.

For the price, the park is decent. There are a few really nice rides. However, once you're done with a ride, the wait for the next ride is usually so long, that you lose the excitement you got from the last ride. Parking is also $15 and if you need a locker inside, that is also $15. That's really unfair because I have been to a few good water parks around this country and none of the good ones, like schlitterbahn, charge for parking. Also, lockers should be electronic and by the hour like other good water parks. All in all, Noah's ark is worth a visit or two.

Great water park! Watch for deals...lots of places to buy discount tickets ahead of time. We used Groupon for about 25% off.

The best water park I've been to. It's the only water I prefer besides Mt. Olympus. If given a choice I would choose Noah's ark first

Great place. Rides for all ages, reasonably priced beer. Booked a stay at the flamingo hotel and got the water park for free

Great fun for the whole family. My five year old was able to even enjoy some rides. The kids loved it!

You're kids will need to be a certain height and weight for alot of the fun slides.

Your NOT allowed to wear your prescription glasses on any ride. I even talked to a supervisor and he told me that it's a safety issue because if you would smack yourself in the face while wearing your glasses that would be on them. That is the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. So if you are legally blind without your glasses this part doesn't care if you can see or not.

A bit pricey, and they don't do a great job communicating when there are issues with rides; they leave people standing in line wondering what to do. Otherwise the rides are decent.

Very disappointing for a park that touts itself as the largest water park in the world. No indoor facility and the handful of rides that you want to ride have large wait times even on a Wednesday.
I enjoyed Mt. Olympus better than Noah's Ark.

One the best water parks around the rides are great for all ages, my personal favorite is the black thunder

Water park was great. Restrooms were ok. Lockers were very expensive as well as the price of food, water, and snacks. Still a great time was had by us all.

I have been going to Noah's Ark for 35 years. We always look forward to the trip! Overall we always have a positive experience. However, ticket prices coupled with parking and locker fee's can add up to quite a bit of $$$, and that is before any food or drink. Look for online discounts and promotions to help a bit.

this is a good place but, it is really starting to feel dated. the time warp was the biggest surprise of all the slides. A must ride. there are issues like the kids water guns in that area don't work. many of the slides leak causing the ground below to erode and show plumbing underground. this give an over all feel of it being unkempt.

Not too many kids rides. It'll be better if your kids are over 10.

Great family atmosphere. The lifeguards are very attentive. The staff is friendly and fun.

Great place to cool off. Our family had an amazing day!

The pools we're freezing and didn't have heaters but the slides we're lots of fun

Very busy. They would not let my toddler go down some of the kid slides because he was wearing a life jacket. It was coast guard approved, so not sure what the big deal was. Staff was great, they helped my daughter down the slides, then the shift supervisor came by and told them no life jackets. Seems a bit off that coast guard approved jackets are not allowed.

Lots of fun times to be had here, if it's chilly when you go you can rent a wetsuit from them for free, they just put a 30 dollar deposit on your card to make sure you don't run off with it.

My family of three really enjoyed this park, we were there for about six hours and couldn't even explore it all! The lines weren't too bad there was definitely a ride for everyone, two lazy rivers accompanied by two wave pools, and too many rides to count! We will definitely make the trip back up!

Fun water park for the entire family. It's been a while since we've been there, but it's as fun as ever. $15 parking is ridiculous. Food and drinks are over priced. They do allow you to exit and come back into the park, so pack a cooler and go back to the car for lunch.

Stayed at a nearby hotel called Flamingo motel with family and friends. We got wristbands with our stay and the walk there from the motel is really close. We slipped right past the crazy long lines since we didn t bring anything and the entrance was empty but inside it s really easy to find lots of people. The slides are a lot of fun too! My favorite definitely has to be black anaconda.

My first time at Noah's ark today. I brought 2 of my kids and my sis and her girl and we all had the best day ever!! I will definitely be back again!! Only thing that sucked was we got rained out :(

Prices are high for everything, i wish there was more variety in pools.
