Nice place to spend the day. Kids enjoyed the wave pool and the tree house play area. After visiting several water parks Raging Rivers seems a little small with outdated slides. However we enjoyed our time there and spent time in Grafton.

Normally we have a blast but today's visit was the worst experience of all. Due to being handicapped I can only do the lazy river. There was a group drinking while on the ride dropping the beer in the water and spitting it on us and using foul words. When I got off I contacted a life guard and she was rude telling us that they allow this. I went further by asking to speak to the manager. We were only there for three hours and wasn't offered a rain check or a refund. I will never return. For the money we paid to get into a park only to be talked down to is a disgrace. I will travel further and go to six flags water park.

It's cool when it's hot! Great place to take the kids when it's warm out. Fun things to do for every age. Staff is very friendly and safety is a priority. Food and drinks are a little pricey but tastes good.

What a wonderful location for a waterpark! Raging Rivers has a great variety of slides, pools, etc., all situated in bluffs along the scenic Illinois River Road. So you can lay out on either side of the wave pool and have a view of the Mississippi River! Note that due to the unique geographic location, steep hills lead up to many of the rides, so certain areas of the park, while accessible to all, may not be the easiest to get to. There's plenty of options for food and cold beverages and dip n dots, and a few designated zones for alcohol consumption!

So much fun. I came here when I was little all the time. It was just as I remember, fun, clean, and not over crowded. The food is very expensive though so I usually pack a cooler of sandwiches. But the price of admission is low so I don't mind so much.

I bought two birthday packages here and I had a horrible experience. First I was told I could bring a cooler and when I came I couldn't bring mine in because they didn't specify it had to be a soft cooler. Next, the hostess was horrible! She didn't ask if we needed anything, got the pizza time messed up. My cake was melting and had flies on top of it. Do not book a birthday package here! I spent $500 and my family had a horrible experience. $50 dollars off the bad customer service was not enough for the bad experience my family endured that was supposed to be an enjoyable experience. To be honest, I kind of felt my family was treated unfairly due to the color of our skin. Horrible!

It's ok. Not a fan of waterparks though. I was forced to go there. The concrete was EXXXXTREMELY hot to the point where I didn't even wanna walk around. The food is a little pricey but my pretzel and Dip n Dots were good. The lazy river needed cleaned. It wasn't too gross but there were still leaves and some dead bugs.

Lots of fun things for the kids to do inside including massive slides, wave pool, lazy river, etc . If you want, bring a lunch or snack to enjoy at your car instead of buying inside. If you go more than 2xs a season, buy the season pass. It'll give you free parking and early access every day you go. Great views from every vantage point. Helpful staff with EMS on site for scrapes and the like. Located in Grafton which is a beautiful and safe community with lots of other things to do and see.

First they charge you to park, food is expensive, so are the tickets to get in, you will not find much shade to relax in so bring your sunscreen, the hills to the slides are steep so wear your water shoes and you will have to walk alot to get to each slide, its a smoke free establishment but you can smoke in the parking lot, we packed a lunch and brought drinks and snacks and ate in the parking lot tail gate style, get some rest before you go, you will be worn out if you stay all day. The slides are a blast and the wave pool is fun! Would definitely go again.

The kids had a ball. The slides were fun and the wait times were actually really short, though we were there on a Tuesday morning/ afternoon. I would highly recommend wearing some type of water shoe. Flip flops work ok, but you will be walking up some pretty steep inclines to reach some of the slides and flip-flops will slide under your foot. The concrete does get pretty hot in spots.

Less than an hour north of st Louis

Less than an hour north of st Louis

If you are sad about the hills, then there must be no crowd, (you walked fast enough to notice the hill) (extra brownie for lunch) enjoy the short lines, expansive view of the mighty Mississippi along the Great River Road; enjoy the butterfies, Lizzy lizards and intricate tangled exposed (eroded) roots along your climb .. Like doilies on the hillside .. Enjoy the walk Think about the long water ride down ... Swish!! .. And wish the climb was longer
Bahaha hahaha lmao
The trips down the slides are so much fun !!!!

Nah ....
For real, if you need an escalator, rent a video game at a hotel

Veteran discount is very generous

Aug16 is almost off season
Off season, each ride has one "twin" on, or open .. There were mostly no lines today. the lines today were short, maybe 5 or 6 ppl, 8 was the longest and that line went fast
Off season we got front parking, even arriving after lunch.
Every item in the gift shop is half off or close

The retail refreshments uh ... Are retail .. There are picnic tables outside the park along the parking lot areas
The large fries ($4 , 2 potatoes?) Stay crispy on the way to the cooler in the trunk by the picnic tables. A nice retail treat to share with 4 adults if you planned /brought a regular lunch
