The water slides were fun, and it wasn't very busy (mid-August Monday), but a few of the slides were closed because of the low attendance, Black Anaconda got temporarily shut down 2 times in the 20-30 minutes wait I was there, and it was a lot of walking.

Keep your sandals or whatever footwear choice you have, on. Lots of walking and waiting on hot pavement. Great place to chill and get wet. Workers are polite and informative. Ticket price and reasonable but paying for parking was a bit much. Overall a great park with lots of thrills in the waterside department.

Only three stars because of the long lines. And our child who is a proficient swimmer was required to wear a provided life jacket in the wave pool cause he was under the minimum height, but I can understand that. Water in the kiddie area was very cold. We were there in late June. Must not be heated.

Been here a couple times and it's very fun. The slides are great. Lines are long like most water parks. The lifeguards do watch carefully. Food and drink prices are excessive like most tourist attractions.

I had such great memories as a kid. But my recent trip with my kids was so short of what I wanted. There was sooo much closed when we came on a Wednesday. I think 8 features were closed including both lazy drivers, one wave pool, the raja, which my kids were so looking forward to. It was either a labor issue, or cost savings. Because so much was closed the lines on what was open were long. 20-30 min for some. I know covid sucks, but this might have been a once in a lifetime impression for boys. They vastly preferred the wilderness resort which disappointed me.

This place has really gone downhill since I was here two years ago. It is more like a tourist trap. They charge $20 or $25 to park you car, then the waterpark entrance fee, and on top you have to pay minimum $15 for a locker! The only good thing is that they let you bring in beverages, but no food. Food inside is way overpriced and doesn't taste good. $9 for a spotted cow. They let more customers into the park then they can accommodate. Multiple people fighting over tubes at the lazy river. Wave pool was very overcrowded. Got bumped into by a lot of people. Lifeguards just stare at you blankly. The bathrooms/ changing room was disgusting! They smelt horrible, out of toilet paper, and very hot/ humid. After coming here for years I can thoroughly say I am disappointed in this waterpark and will not be coming back.

At the same, concrete walkways everywhere - not the best idea when walking with bare feet on bright summer day.

*Update-August 2018* The park has improved a bit since my last update 2 years ago. They got the new Raja ride. There was no line, it is slow, only had single rider tubes, and I didn't even ride it twice. A comparable ride would be Kalahari's new one, which is much more enjoyable.

If you just want to visit an outdoor waterpark for the day this is still the best choice in the dells.

The line were mostly short for a Monday. I've gone on the weekday the last three times and have had both short and long lines.

Positives: There are so many options to choose from you will definitely get everything you want in a water park.
Staff is friendly, and drinks at the bar were good.
Stay at Shamrock, Atlantis, or Wintergreen Hotels and get free tickets.
Get cheap tickets online or at locations like gas stations.

Negatives: They charge for parking. ($5-$10)
Excessive walking from slide to slide.
Cold water
Purchases of lockers, merchandise, food, etc is expensive.

Ride updates:
Flash Flood - you'll barely get splashed on the bridge anymore
4D theater - finally a new movie! It had constant water leaking, the chairs vibrated way to much, and there was nowhere to put your glasses at the end.
The second wave pool, lazy river, and kid area is only open for around a month in July.
The old "Noah's Big Adventure/ Curse of the Crypt ride" is still closed from 6 years ago.

Plan on bringing a lunch or going out to eat and staying the whole day. It's worth it. Try HotDog Avenue across the street for food. It's a bit of a hike from the entrance/ exit to Noah's Ark, but it was worth it.

Very clean, lots of different levels of rides for all ages. Everyone is super friendly. I recommend buying your pass a day or two ahead and getting a super saver pass, we only paid $19.99 each adult, then buy a next day pass for $10 when you leave. Also, pack your lunch or go off site for lunch. Much cheaper than prices in the park.

They have a lot of free and nearly free tickets out there that could be used in the early part of the season. You just have to look for them. On the flip side, you might be deterred by the $20 for parking. If the website happens to be working, you can pre buy parking for $15, however it was not working yesterday.

There are some food options we were not expecting, like purchasing a full pizza for $25 or Johnny rockets or Beaver tails. When you go to the waterpark, you expect junk food, and that's mostly what they have. You can't carry food in, but they do have outside of the park, and it's very easy to slip in slip out with a handstamp.

Clocks are hard to come by, so if you are splitting up with your family you will want to have somebody in each group with a waterproof watch. Shady places to sit are also hard to find, so bring lots of sunscreen.

Fun water park with something for everyone. I'm afraid of the big rides with steep drops, but there were plenty of adults on the smaller/"kid" rides too, so I didn't feel embarrassed. The food is overpriced as expected, so we just left to get something to eat if we got hungry. Lifeguards pay a lot of attention and adhere to the rules. Avoid weekends, because it's extremely crowded. Expect to wait in long lines on any nice day.

Be ready to pay out the nose for everything. We had free tickets from a hotel stay and we thought it would be great stop with kids since free. However, once you get there you have to pay 15-20 bucks for parking, and then another 15-30 bucks for a locker. This is not worth the "free" tickets. Last time I will visit here. Unfortunate, as it was a childhood favorite and I looked forward to sharing with my kids.

This place is huge and lots of fun. It is very family oriented. My only complaint is they do not allow outside food or drinks (as most places like this do not) and food is very overpriced, with a limited selection. They do offer a $20 souvenir cup with unlimited refills, so I recommend that on a hot day.

Rides are fun. However, food is WAY over priced. They are now charging $20 for parking which is absurd. Want a comfortable place to sit on the shade? Gotta rent a Cabana. This used to be a more reasonably priced option to take the family for the day but not so much anymore.

Very clean and plenty of life guards on duty! We rented a Cabana best money I ever spent. Came with six bottles of water, two beach towels to keep and a tote bag to keep. We had our own Cabana girl and a locker included. Just had to put a five dollar deposit down which we got back when we turned in the key. We had a fantastic time!!

Yes it is biggest water park. You do not need a map. It is very easy to find. but I add the pics of the map.

But most of the rides for teenagers.

Parking $20 and $25. My recommendation is get $20 parking.

Entrance is cheaper online. Buy your tickets online. Price was $39.99 on the gate. I paid $29.99 while I was waiting on line at the entrance.

Small locker is $15 per day. You can open and close anytime.each locker have a passcode. You can share that passcode with your family members.

You can bring your sandals,towels or anything else with you.

Each ride have sandals racks. Before ride you can leave them and you can pick them after the ride.

Bring your shampoo with you. There is no shampoo is shower area.
