Noah's Ark Waterpark Reviews

$30+ a person to wait in hour + lines, plus 15$ for parking! So for 45$ you get to wait in lines all day to ride a 1 minute slide!

Didn't tell you half the rides were closed till after you paid to park. We asked for a refund because there were only a handful of rides open and lines were long. Lady had no interest in helping us saying 80% of the park was still operating. Then I should get a 20% refund!! Won't go back again!

So busy you can spend your whole day in line. Slides are fun though. Go on a Tuesday.

So far best experience! Best place in Wisconsin dells! Will take you a whole day. Be prepared!

Rented a cabana for the day we were there. It was great to be able to watch the kids play & have a place for our group of 8 to relax when we wanted to get out if the sun for awhile. Kids had an awesome time & so did the adults

Fun! Had a MS episode, had to stay put of the sun and laid under the pavilion.... My daughter had a good time

The water park is amazing. I felt like a kid again. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. What a great team. For these two things I would give the park 5 stars. HOWEVER, the bathrooms and changing areas were disgusting. They are in desperate need of updating. There were dirty diapers, maxi pad wrappers and trash all over the floor. If I have to pay so much for parking and food (which is more expensive than a famous park in Florida) I expect much cleaner and brighter bathrooms.

We got free tickets with our hotel stay. The park was huge. The lines were very long. The staff was friendly. Kids section was nice but wish it was bigger with more things to do for the littles. The foos looked amazing. The lazy pool was fun although a lot of the tubes were deflated. My little family enjoyed our time here on one of the hottest weekends of the year. I was also impressed no one stole our stuff sitting on a lawn chair. Parking was $20 which I felt was overpriced, but whatever.

Fun rides and affordable price. I love how they constantly try to add new rides to keep the waterpark fresh. This makes for a wonderful family trip, as it has rides for all ages.

Kids loved it but lines were crazy even for a Monday. Lightning in the area closed the rides for 30 minutes twice, problem was the rides took up to 1.5 hours to get them all running again. Bathrooms were not clean but some of the new rides are good if you can get past the waits!

There was very few rides open hardly none for younger kids.. wasnt told park wasnt completely open yet when we got tickets

It is not what it used to be. The water was cold, rides closed and 15 to park on top of the over priced tickets, stands were closed and the people working couldn't understand English and people that did were rude and not friendly

Wonderful water park that is pretty good at competing with MT. Olympus in terms of being a water park all the attractions are very fun and don't disappoint great for all ages but for the 21 and over crowd be aware that the alcoholic drinks are very watered down so I would avoid paying what they want for the mixed drinks.

Dear Kari, it is not very helpful when you make fun of people's English
If she is from somewhere else, do not say her English was hard to understand.
Rember, Treat others how you want to be treated!!!!
What if that that person reviews this. How would that person feel? Please next time think before you review something.

Fun and pay an extra 10 dollars for the season pass

Large water park but it seems a bit more run down than many of the others. Went on Adventure River and cut my foot on the concrete in the bottom.

Closing is wrong. Cant wait to tell the kids they cant go next week.

More rides than I can ride in a weekend. Hope a ball

I love it here! Me and my family come here every other year or so, and its so much fun! The rides as great, the service is great and I always enjoy coming here! Just a tip of advice, if you are planning on going here, go on a cold or rainy day because the lines a lot shorter

Had so much fun! You won t be disappointed we were there from 10 to 6 pm and time just flew by. I ll definitely be back!

This is an all day event. Pack a lunch kids cuz the food is pricey.

Has good water rides, good place to spend some time with family and friends

Went on our annual summer trip. I was disappointed to pay $20 for parking. I had only 15 cash but attendant allowed me to pay with credit card. It was very nice to allow that. We had a very good time. We were a little disappointed that the 4D theatre did not show a double feature as advertised around the park. They have brought back minature golfing to the park. You know have to pay a additional charge to play a game unlike in the past. The staff were very friendly and helpful during the day.

Kids love this place! Pretty clean to be such a busy waterpark. Inky complaint would be the high cost for a locker and food.

Good for kids but not very much to do for teens or young adults

Parking cost $15-$18. Time warp was closed that day. Water was freezing cold. No new slides just panted and changed name of one. 4 or 5 year in a row with nothing new. Hardee s combos cost $11.00. I ll be going to the other big Park in town next year.

This place is good for families with young children and people who have patience to wait in hour plus lines. Waterslides are fun, just wish you didn't have to wait so long to ride the slides.

Free tickets due to staying at a motel with a promotion and haven't been here in nearly ten years, still a fun time, now with kids. A nice, small play area for little kids and the staff was helpful when we needed a bandaid.

My great niece and I have been coming here for 4 years now. So much fun!

Absolutely best waterpark ever!!! So fun and well worth the money! Buy parking online and save a few dollars!

We spend one full day in the park and it was fun. Good place to spend one full day. Long queues for good rides may eat away your time so plan for your rides carefully. I got slight sunburn while waiting in the queue. Use coupons to have food from the park. These coupons will be available near the front desk of your hotel. Next day tickets are available for $10 inside the park but I think this is the place for a day.

On busy days, they will admit far more people than the park can handle. Any premium ride is a one to two hour wait, even right after the park opened. People arriving later in the day were trying to take chairs that were already in use. Wave pool was a sea of humanity, wall to wall people. I estimate that the park attendance was at least double what the rides could handle. We left after 5 hours, never got on a premium ride.

Trash policies. Traveled here from out of state. I get in, spend 40$ on food then get kicked out for weather, sure ok.... BUT NO refunds on the ticket NO refund or voucher for parking NO refund or voucher on a locker. Even better, they offer you a ticket to get in later BUT it s only for this season then expires AND you ll be paying for parking again. I told them I m from out of state and at least give me a ticket that doesn t expire..... NOPE get lost. Hate this place with everything I ve got and I make my experience known. They even made you book online at the time and couldn t buy tickets at the gate so you can t determine on the weather either. Also check to see what s open by calling. They didn t even list what was closed on their website when I booked. WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD AS A CUSTOMER.

Had such a great time there. Lines weren't to long. Highly recommend it, rides were great!

So many options for slides that we wore our legs out walking all over the park. Be prepared to pay for expensive food and drinks. You can save money by bringing lunches in a cooler, leaving it in the car and going outside the park for lunch (they will stamp your hand for reentry). They have picnic tables on the outside of the park. We also saved 5 bucks going for the regular parking lot over the premium lot, and it was great. It does help to get there early.

Waited for the black anaconda for and hour, was the next one ready to go. They kicked us off because it was broke and made us wait another hour to get back on. Was way to busy to do anything.

Had a great time with my wife and 2 & 1/2 year old daughter. Great kid areas.

While we have not yet been, for any sort of park the amount of information on their website is abysmal. Absolutely no important information such as accessibility information, descriptions of the attractions, etc. Just "pay for tickets here". How do I know what I'm paying for? How do I know everyone in the family will be able to enjoy themselves? At least Mt. Olympus down the street has 90% of this information online.

Good value. $25/day. My only gripe is the cost of parking. $15? And that's with the voucher.

The day we went the lines were short and we made it on everything we wanted to ride. Even met a cool guy who was working there and he made it extra fun.

Help please!!!! Thanks. Family of 2 adults and 3 boys ages from 12 to 16
I want to go at Noah s but it will my first time in Wisconsin Dells!!! I don have ane idea about hotels and parks o any good deals!! Anyone can help me about a good park to visit and a hotel to stay?
Thanks

Had a great time. Park was clean and the staff was very friendly. Lines were not too bad but it was a Monday. Food prices were not that bad. Food was good, but I did prefer the Johnny Rockets burger. Highly recommend this water park!!

Kool place on a hot day. I also got a Life Guard hoodie souvenir.

Over crowded. There were too many people and it was difficult to do anything without fighting a crowd.

We went during Covid-19. Unfortunately we felt let down because lots of the main attractions were not operational. Also although there were temperature checks and social distancing at the front gate, that level of diligence ended upon once in the park. Hopefully this improves otherwise this might be ground zero for an outbreak.

Great and so big place for fun. Bealive me, one day is not enough if you don't know what are you looking for. First day is just for discovering. :) students in Wisconsin Dells- you should know that you can have free first entrance if you have an entertainment card from Tourists Information Center! Enjoy! :)

This place has lost it's charm and personality. I've been going here since I was a little kid... 25 years ago, and since the new management took over the lines on the rides take forever, the park has a 'closed off' feel.. you have to buy a ticket just to go through the gate, they charge for the good parking, the food prices are outrageous, and some of the old, good rides have been torn down. Jungle Rapids to me was a staple ride that still did it's job well.. that they tore down the entire ride.. a crime. Also the replacement ride for the plunge that used to be there is blah as well.

The mini-golf and arcade areas along with the duck feeding area are permanently closed. I always enjoyed a game of mini-golf but if you want to do that there are several dedicated mini-golf course in the dells to choose from.

Did I mention that the lines seem to take forever, like they purposely slowed the pace at which people go on the rides down by 50% so you spend half the day in line? I can verify this for sure with the scorpion's tail ride.. very inefficiently run compared to when it was family owned. Flash Flood and Black Anaconda also use less boats than in the past which of course slows the rides down.

Also, they no longer open at 9AM. From 9AM to 10AM is when the best time for rides occurs since people trickle in slowly. Instead you have to wait in line for a good 30-40 minutes otherwise the line gets really long, and then you have just a few good minutes to get on the rides before the lines get ridiculous, especially on their most popular rides. A number of the rides tend to be closed, and the place seems like it's inadequately staffed compared to in the past.

I'm not joking when I say I may never go here again. Even on a slow day when it's cloudy, during the week, the lines are just terrible. A good, family owned park has turned into a corporate run, profit driven, overly "lawyerized" experience. It reminds me of what happens any time a family run establishment is bought out by an "investment firm" ... things usually change for the worse.

One plus over the old management.... they don't charge for tubes to go in the big kahuna anymore. Anywhoo that's about it.. I'll keep the rating at 3 stars. If they sped the line speed back up and opened the park at 9AM again, I'd be inclined to raise my rating back up to 4 or 5 stars.

Great water park, it has more water rides, two big wave pools, lazy river, and the weather was perfect
It can get crowded

Long lines, as an adult they wouldn't let on one of the rides because I didn't weigh enough

We visited the Dells recently and went to Noah's Ark twice while we were there! All ages enjoyed all the different types of slides and the wave pools! We also went to another water park but came back to Noah's as we really enjoyed ourselves there! I think the only suggestion that I have would be to make sure that all employees can understand English. I asked several employees questions and they didn't understand. I have a child with Celiacs and needed to be sure items were safe for him. There were very few options for him to eat. I also was a bit disappointed by the gift shop. I wanted to buy t-shirts for my kids and there really was wasn't any options besides the swim shirts. We really hope to return very soon as it was the highlight of our trip to Wisconsin! Thank you!

Super big and had lots of fun rides. Lines on weekends can be extremely long though.

Great place! Besides having long lines for a few rides (but typical of any water park), the day I spent there was a blast! Had so much fun, and am already planning on going back next year.

They need to have softer walking areas. Feet were raw and in pain after leaving the park. Slides were good, even tho my son who is 42 inches could ride the majority of them and then others couldn't.

Place sucks for customer service, got passes and said they close in a 20 mins because of weather that was still in Iowa 4 hours later still no storms and would not offer passes for a different day, wasn't many people there so I guess it's an easy way and very piss poor way to save money.

Fun for the whole family. Went there my whole stay with the provided passes. Nice wave pull. Perfect weather and good drinks. My son was able to ride a few with us which was a plus. Didn't get to ride the bigger ones but I was there with the family. Plenty of life guards watching to make sure nothing happened

Awesome experience! Lots of rides to cater to all ages and thrill levels! Went on a Saturday so as expected was busy but we managed to ride all the rides we wanted. Friendly staff, plenty of drink and food options. Forgot to secure a cabana but even then finding a place to sit in the shade wasn t difficult! Would recommend getting a cabana if you are big group in advance, it s well worth it. Definitely a once or twice a year family trip ! Thank you Noah s ark for a day full of fun and laughs !

Went to Noah's ark and had tons of fun But they Do NOT HAVE enough TUBES in the wave pool or the lazy river. Another wise it was nice to go have some fun.

A lot of the rides weren't open due to lack of staffing

The height of its field, Noah's Ark has everything. Why would you settle for a lesser waterpark?

Absolutely best time ever. Some rides are extreme. I love extreme. Point of no return takes courage.

So much fun just wish they had like speed passes or something for those parents out there that have little children but still like to hit all the rides....please make speed passes I'll pay extra for sure

I had never been to Noahs Ark before my visit, but I found it to be pretty underwhelming.

I worked as a lifeguard for 3 months in a park. The only thing i can say this park is the best waterpark to work as a International student. Thanks for everything. I hope we will meet again one day.

There is no way to tell what time it is, so if you want to do anything else later in the day, then going to this water park is not a compatible activity. It has also changed a lot, here. It used to feel open, and you just paid one fee and then for the most part you were set, with perhaps a few coins for a locker, and whatever food you may need. It is nothing like that, now. You have to pay $20 - 25 just to park, and they allow oversized vehicles so trying to squeeze through the lot is hazardous. There are also many children in the parking lot all the time, because the food is overpriced and they don't allow carry-ins, anymore, so families take their little ones out to the lot to eat. Before, the lot was roomy so that wasn't so dangerous. Again, this changed so drive with extreme caution. A locker will set you back $20 - $25. Crazy, right!?! Assuming that you are not going to the park alone, you are much better off going to a hotel that has a water park. It will be less crowded, and indoor parks can control sanitation better. You will spend enough at this place that you may as well have your accommodations, too. They have made this park so expensive that it just isn't worth it. If you disagree, then: buy parking and admission in advance online, to save a little. Go in your swimsuit and bring nothing that would require a locker. Invest in a waterproof watch. Please have the courtesy to drive a regular-sized vehicle there, as you now know that their lots are unsuitable for ridiculously large vehicles. Then, after you learn that you could have done better at a hotel even if you chose not to actually sleep there and it used their water fun, well, told ya so! .

It was intermittently windy which made it cold. The lagoon was heated so that is where we spent most of our time. Holla
