Raging Waves Waterpark Reviews

All the rides were fun, and the lines were not bad for a busy day. They serve the Dole whip. I got the twist, which includes pineapple and strawberry, and it was really good.

Very nice, large water park. Well maintained and very professional staff. A great day out!

lovely clean park staff were very friendly had fun with family

You got to be kidding me.... 39.99 for one ticket even a 2 yrs old baby too huh?.. A complete JOKE.. ALSO DAMN THERE 6 BUCKS AND UP FOR FOOD THAT TASTE AWFUL.. NEVER AGAIN.

Truly enjoyed myself..Clean..Helpful attendants.. The keyless lockers are a cool idea.. I'll most definitely be back

Always a great time! Coronavirus has not stopped this park! They still practice social distancing, and they require reservations, so as to limit the crowds. But we are so happy that they are doing their best to stay open. This is one of those places that is a community favorite and the kids really benefit from being able to get out and see their friends. These businesses are probably losing money by being open during times when they have limited admission due to IDPH requirements. So I appreciate that they are doing their best to stay open and serve the community.

Lifeguards were chill, lots of sends. Lol definitely coming back. Made a name for myself lol

Water parks are always a good time. Park was clean. Suggest you purchase your tickets before you go because it gets packed with people fast. Definitely recommend a cabana it comes with water, fruit and snacks. Your own chairs and loungers. Wave pool is amazing. Long lines for the water slides. Suggest you ride those first thing when you arrive.

Wow, nice park! We had a blast. Thank you for lockers! Clean place to change too. Had a great day.

This is a great place to take the family. It's family owned, operated and oriented. There are many water slides, for all ages along with a lazy river and wave pool for those that just want to chill out. Military and retired military get in for free with your ID card, so don't forget it. They have cabanas and "nests" for rent, which allows you some shade and a place to leave your stuff. They do not allow outside food and drink, so you will either have to go to your car to eat or buy lunch inside the park. We got discount tickets at Costco, which also saved some money. Our "all in" cost, including a nest, lunch, treats, etc. was about $400 for ten of us, which by park standards, is a good deal.

Beautiful water park! Good food, friendly staff. A great family friendly place for all ages.

Very fun and clean. Staff was great and nice. Great fun for the whole family

Always clean, well trained and POLITE staff. Even lost a pair of shoes and they were in the lost and found. Thank you for the military discount!

Awesome and fun. Great place for the kids. A little pricey though.

Fun for the family with lots to do as long as you can climb stairs. Quite pricey and not much to do for someone who is disabled.

Really great family place rent a cabana was very nice and private space for the family.

The wave pool is a great diversion! And many slides that was really fun!

Raging waves offers an immense water park at a great price! Raging Waves is the largest water park in the state of Illinois. At this water park there are many rides even a huge wave pool. The food is also very good and cheap! All in all this is a great destination for a summer day!

The parking is close to the entrance. Plenty of rides and the food is meh. Search Groupon for a deal.

The waterpark is so amazing they have a bunch of rides some fast and other's slow they also have so many unique foods.

Fun place kids love this kind of water parks because it's soooooooo MUCHH FUN EVEN FOR ME!

Horrible experience, way too packed. Why would they allow so many people in that place.....

One of our favorite waterparks. It's very clean and staff seems to try and keep up with the messes people leave behind. Water and rides were fantastic. Food was very good. Only 2 things I would change about this park is get rid of the areas of sand or add more areas with paved surface and shade for those of us that cannot tolerate the sun all day. I found some shade. Crazy busy and popular waterpark. My family highly recommends it!

Everyone that works there is so nice. They strike up conversations with you waiting in line and are super friendly. I lost my sunglasses on the first ride I went on and the lifeguard looked around, had another lifeguard scan the pool from above. Thankfully I found them eventually when I went on the ride again, and they held them for me at the top; must ve fallen off when I first got on! The locker system they have in place is really convenient, and everything there is super clean!

Took the whole family for 4th of July there. Nice and clean water park. Staff are friendly.

The staff was clearly working hard to keep everything clean and moving smoothly.

Love bringing the kids here! There are things to do for all age levels.

I like all the colourful slides like the wannabe. Thank you raging waves you are the best water park ever. Thank you.

I had way more fun than I ever thought I would. The food was good too, I had Jetts pizza. Later I had a really good cheese burger. The rides were Amazing!! My 8 year old son loved it and so did I.

Joined last year !! Went 3 times last year !!
Had no idea what joy it would bring 2020!!! Great way to escape from Aurora alll the way to Yorkville!!! Thank you all for keeping us safe

Nice park to bad everything wasn't open and working at an early time. Reach capacity by about 1 p.m. . Very hard to get raft for lazy river if you don't purchase band for $5. Photo is reasonable but lines were horrendous.

Deffiently the place to go on a hot summer day. Took my family and we had a blast

Love it wish i had money to take my little tike again. Oh well maybe next year

Slides and wave pool are great. End of year season passes are a good deal. Beware of Bubba the alligator!

My first time here we got rained out and the park was going to give us a rain check. We only received one ticket when we paid for a family pack of four because i did not have the kids present with me when i went to get the rain check. It was very windy and raining to have with two little ones standing outside in the cool weather with wet swimsuits. Not sure if i would be attending again. Such a shame because we really enjoy ourselves.

Very clean, fun park. Plenty to do for younger kids. Food is a little pricy.

The air thing thats supposed to catch the smoke from the stove in one of the restaurants was obviously broken because it got super smokey in the kitchen. Nobody thought to fix it for 4 weeks until the only smart lead noticed it was broken and called some people to fix it. While we were still working in the smoke.

Had a blast super short lines today it was the best day to be at this water park. The rides are great was not disappointed my nephew of 8 got on the rides more than 6 times in each. He was having so much fun.

Fun place great for kids my 6 year old loves the new children's area and we all enjoyed new slides food is very pricey

Everything as far as attractions you would expect out of a water park which was great. The problem comes in, they dont offer enough food for a variety of people to snack on at an affordable price. I get it, you want to make money on your own products but when you charge 350 for a private area, I as a consumer should be able to BBQ or bring in a picnic lunch for my family if I want to. A HUGE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS THERE ARENT ANY WATER STATIONS READILY AVAILABLE TO DRINK. AGAIN FORCING THE CUSTOMER TO EITHER GO TO YOUR VEHICLE FOR DRINKING WATER OR FORCED TO PURCHASE WATER. THE LIFE GUARD STAFF HAS 5 GALLON GATORADE DISPENSERS IN MOST OF THEIR WORK STATIONS. BUT THESE ARENT FOR THE CUSTOMERS. WHEN I ASKED FOR SOME, I WAS TOLD ITS FOR THEM ONLY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND ITS ACTUALLY A HAZARD. ON EXTREMELY HOT DAYS, WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO CANT AFFORD THE WATER, ENDS UP NOT DRINKING ANYTHING AND THEY PASS OUT NOT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE DEHYDRATED. YOU CANT DO THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A GIGANTIC WAVE POOL GOING IF SOMEONE IS DEHYDRATED AND DOESNT REALIZE THEY ARE, ENDS UP GETTING HURT OR DROWNS. THIS IS A VERY POOR TACTIC ON RAGING WAVES BEHALF. YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE GOING THERE TO COOL OFF AND YOU DONT EVEN HAVE FREE WATER FOUNTAINS AVAILABLE FOR CONSUMPTION, YOU SHOULD BE REPORTED FOR THIS, ITS UNACCEPTABLE.
Another thing is the water is warm, usually in pools you have to ease your way in and theres a chill factor involved. Here you just jump right in like its bath tub water. Theres no getting out of the attraction your at and having chills, you actually will start sweating and be dry within minutes without a towel. These two things make this water park sub par and an unpleasant place to be. I went with 22 other people and they would agree with the issues of the water park.

Waited in line for a hour for 50.00 lunch. Hot dog was not even cooked. Cant bring food in so they comfiscated it and said we coulg get on way out. Staff was eating it and told me it was given to a pantry.

It was nice to much walking you guys should get motorized scooter for people in wheel chairs.

Love the new kids area perfect depth for kids. The bathroom's could definitely use more attention and there needs to be something done when people are waiting for slide tubes maybe ropes on each side so people stand in single file that would be helpful. They also need a food booth with just gluten free options that would be very helpful to the growing amount of people who suffer from that particular illness

Very fun water park! Wave pool, waterslides, lazy rivet, kiddie pool, sandlot, great friendly staff, clean and bright, spacious, lines can be a bit long but not too bad.

I felt they needed more for the smaller kids. Good to see they are adding another pool for them. Why they STARTED building it in June is anybody's guess.

Had a lot of fun. Staff was nice. What else could you ask for?

It's a fun park and good slides. The only bad thing is the lines are so long because they let way too many people in. We were in one line for an hour and a half.. but overall pretty fun. Better to go on colder days since there are less people.

This place was awesome and you should definitely go to it.

Excellent spot for all ages. Reasonable food prices, good lifeguards and clean areas.

Every year I'm going there, nice place. This year is a very bad year. I understand that there is a pandemic. But, they closed the lazy river. I love the lazy river and this year I came there only for it. You know, "social distance" is the excuse . The capacity now is much less, social distance. So, I will explain the problem. To make sure there is social distance they don't let inside many people which is nice. But because they Closed the lazy river and few slides and some resting areas, the line on other slides is long, and there are no distances at all . It would not be that way if they keep all attractions open because people would spread instead of concentrating on only few opened slides.. Second problem is as we talked earlier you don't get there everything that you use to get but you pay much more for the entrance than usually.
And one more problem, drinking fountains don't have water . Enjoy the Raging Waves.

it is really fun there as a suggestion upgrade the the crocodile costume when we saw it u could see the neck and ankles i would love to see more rides to put some use to the land. another thing READ CLEAR LIKE U KNOW HOW U CAN GET THE SINGE BLUE TUBES AND RIDE IT ON THE AND PLATYPUS ? WELL ME AND MY FRIENDS CARRIED BLUE TUBS ALL THE WAY UP THERE AND GUESS WHAT THEY HAD A STACK OF BLUE TUBS ALREADY UP THERE AND THERE IS NO SIGH THAT SAYS BLUE TUBS ALREADY UP HERE

Just amazing I would recommend to rent a Cabana very energetic and just all around fun

lines, lines and more lines. my wife and I agree- we won't be back.

What a blast the wave pool was cool and the rides are awesome

One of the best parks I know, hands down. Slides are amazing, clean, nice staff, and a ton to do! It can be very crowded on July weekend days, so just make sure to go on a weekday.

I took my daughter to this place and it was awesome. The staff was very nice and helpful. Would recommend this place.

There is a lot of fun intense rides! Groupon deals are easy to redeem at the entry point! Come early because the parking lot fills VERY fast. To save money, I recommend eating before hand because the food can be a bit pricey.

Amazing park. Great management. Very clean. kind and helpful workers.

Raging Waves is AWSOME the best summer spot ever!!!!!

Great water park many of choices food prices very reasonable really enjoyed it will come again make sure you bring no outside food it will be donated drinks as well only downfall are the lines are long so make sure you come early also limited picnic tables bit you can eat in the parking lot bring a blanket and some chairs
