Raging Waves Waterpark Review

Really fun and cool rides. Amazing experience. Would come here again.

It was a great experience. A lot of fun things to do. Employees are also very nice. It really was a great experience. I loved this place!!

Huge lines at opening and everything is spaced out ridiculously. It's a waterpark so its refreshing on a hot day but the prices are too high.

Season pass holder was a great investment. The kids love the water rides and my teenager too. The food they sell is worth it!

Wonderful water park...kids love it ... More new rides for kids this year... Great maintenance

A great place but I wish their workers when they are drowning yes that happended someone was drowning and they didn't even realize that a family member got to them before them and the family member was farther away from the drowning person while the worker was closer

Clean and great rides...I only have it 4 because you can not bring anything into the park except water in a factory sealed bottle.

Half the rides were closed due to short staff but still had to pay full price. Dont go here

Excellent mind recommended for all kinds of people is very entertaining for adult children and the elderly, Very cool place!

Bought tickets online, forgot to print them. Then they told us that they couldn t just scan them on the phone so we had to wait in a long line just for them to be able to print them for us. Highly don t recommend this place

Scream stuff on the ways down the slide. It's really fun.

My son loves water attractions and this place had it all water wise did not see much food choices though but attractions were awesome

I've been to a lot of waterparks, and this one is alright. If you've been to the Wisconsin Dells so many times, you may get bored because its kind of a rehash of most of whats up there. Lots of long lines, the park is very spread out, and they aren't usually open that late in the summer. However, they do have a massive wave pool, long lazy river, and the park is fairly clean. If you want something to do during the summer that's in the western suburbs of Chicago, Raging Waves is a place to go.

Very good place to enjoy with the whole family from the smallest to the biggest

Convenient location for me. The waterpark is very clean and runs smoothly. We love the lazy river and wave pool. There are plenty of seats. We bought passes for remainder of 2019 and 2020!

We were gifted season passes this year and have already been twice! Love it there! Very kid friendly with 2 kid areas plus they can go to the wave pool and the lazy river. Lots of great life guards stay very attentive. Love that they play Christian music as well! Will be a great stop for us many times this summer!

Went today and even mid pandemic this place is awesome! I felt safe the whole trip temp checks, clear bags, more than half less the usual capacity enough space to social distance and still have a great day with the kids A bit upset about the no re-entry rule but it is for our safety i completely understood

Super fun place. Down side is very ling lines. Even harder to get a inner tube to go on certain rides. Hard time finding a place to put our stuff, wasted alot of time trying tonget tubes. Staff did step up to organize but left and chaos formed once again. Do wave pool first then rides later after busy times.

Great place to take the kids! Very clean and friendly helpful staff!

We stayed for a short time due to the weather... Luckily we got free tickets for next year...

Excellent only missing more areas where there is shade and streamline the lines

Best experience!!! One detail once is 6:00pm they rush you out!!!!

Great place for 8 yrs old or older to be on their own while parents sit back. Tailgate for eating under out of the park shade trees. $$value is great for all day fun.

Enjoy your day and special moments. One of the most popular.

Very crowded, quite expensive, poor customer service.

The staff were very kind and went out of their way to help you with anything you needed.

This is an awesome waterpark and it's huge! You could definitely spend an entire day here and stay entertained

After driving an hour and waited in line for a half hour only to find out the lazy river and 2 other rides were closed and they wanted full price.We left!!!!!! Not good business!!!!!

Clean friendly good service all the way around recommended for young kids they don't have a large selection of water rides but they have a clean and good place to bring family in. Make sure to keep a close eye on your kids. There was a lost child there for over a hour. The staff needs to do more on the way they handle that there cause it wasn't close to what u would expect from a small water park. There needs to be a better way to handle a lost child. Maybe make a Public Announcement, have the staff watching the kids aware of the missing child, have a guard at the entrance with a relative or picture of the child lost so therefore it is not taken out of the park visual video cameras in the entrance of the park. And maybe a police presence or a security guard cause none of these where at any point deployed to look for the child! Luckily the child was found hours later playing around.. so if the park management reads this hope u guys do a better job cause u are in charge of everyone's safety there especially with children!

My 7 y.o son's foot was crushed by huge landscaping brick paver in front of the bathrooms inside the parks main entrance. Be careful! I'd love to tell you about our day there but it's been hard to get over the ER trip that my son had to suffer through because of Raging Waves failure to maintain their property. I have called Raging Waves 3 times and email them 6 times requesting follow up. They do not seem to care about their customers. I would be happy to update my review to include other details once they take time to call me back and have an actual discussion. Our visit was July 22. It shouldn't take a month to get to talk to their leadership about a serious customer complaimt. If that had fallen on my for the doctor said my foot would have had several fractures. It was only because he is so young and his bones are more resillient. He may still have a stress fracture in his foot. Not fair that my little boy had to suffer and this business does not seem to care at all.

For what it is and is busy as it was we had a good time but as far as I'm concerned nothing beats my boat and a lake to swim and fish

Had a good time at this Waterpark on the 4th of July. They had to close early due to weather but they gave us tickets to return another day this season. We used it last weekend and had a great experience, even though it was super packed and we didn t get on any of the slides because of long lines, we had a blast in the wave pool & lazy river. The kids enjoyed themselves as well. It s a clean well-run waterpark and we will definitely visit again next season.

Fun, fun, fun... But it can be little crowded after 3 pm.

Great waterpark, family friendly and very accommodating. Beautiful sky, very relaxing. You are only allowed to bring in bottled water but, you can go out to your car and have lunch and re enter

I like raging waves because it is a awesome time to get cooled off from the sun. And if need chairs get them by the wave pool

awesome place but very, very busy long wait, and awesome 1/4 of a mile lazy river

Raging Waves has fun rides and although most have a long line it's worth it. The food is good too!

Park is amazing, clean, and refreshing. A great variety of things to do for the whole family. Shaded seating fills up fast on the weekend so get there early!

Best water park in Illinois!! Had a great time , thank you raging waves!!

I had trip for 4th of July it was so bad ..coupons not working Even though u can not use group on ..i paid each ticket $34
Swimming tube was not included u have to pay extra...and pool team was so rude behaviour...i never go back again in my life

We had my nieces birthday here last week and the kids had a blast! They never stopped running from slide to slide. We don't have anything like this close to us, so driving 45 mins was well worth the trip for a fun filled day!

Yesterday was a great day overall at Raging waves we have been there 3 times before, but never experienced something like today.
We had chosen to go down the pink slide my daughter went before uson the pink one by herself. And her cousin went down the blue one before us. When going down then pink slide my aunt and I were thrown off the raft at the bottom of the slide. The gentlemen at the bottom was more worried were the raft was instead of my aunt or myself, we were uner water i was uner for longer for longer than my aunt. My daughter almost came in after me. It scared her and her cousin who was whith us. ..The guy at the bottom didn't even bother to ask if we were ok.

Great place to have fun with the kids
Good price at Groupon I'll be back soon

Terrible there parking lot is extremely small people but there tickets online but when they drive a hour to get there police has everything blocked off and telling people there closed it s not even 12:30 yet. Also there costumer service is terrible they just ignore everyone s calls

Loved it! Kids had a blast and wasnt too crowded! Many slides to go on and many things to do for little ones as well!

My three friends and I were able to ride on the boomerang together, however, we were told to split up on the crocodile mile... a little upsetting, cause we were under the weight limit. Also, lifeguard Nick at the Wonambi ride was a little.. weird. He tried to be funny when these kids couldn't get down the ride, but he was like "And that's my problem..? Get unstuck." Oof

It's a bit of a long drive from Chicago, but worth it! They have several water slides, a lazy river, wave pool, & kids water playgrounds! They have so many activities for the kids to enjoy and for the whole family. Also, Groupon has discounted tickets. Totally recommend!

The park is clean and the staff are very friendly. Tickets are on the pricier side. Be sure to pack a lunch before coming to save on food.

Had a great time at Raging Waves! Got there around 10am just after opening and the parking lot wasn't full yet. We were able to quickly buy tickets and get inside the park. We opted for the $10 locker for two of us and it was just the right size for our towels, sandals, spare clothes, and miscellaneous stuff. Definitely would get a locker again. The water park was really clean and the staff/lifeguards were all super friendly. Got lunch from the (Jersey Mike's) sandwich stand and the prices weren't too bad, and it was a nice alternative from hotdogs and hamburgers. It's a great time for a summer activity. We don't have kids so I don't think we'll go several times a summer but we will definitely go every summer. I would recommend this if you have the chance to go.

Fun place, family friendly. Lots of stuff for kids of all ages. Bring your wallets though for food.

Very big and there's something for all ages. Great for a family or group Summer outing. Rent a cabana ..... Come early!! Stay late!!

The water park is amazing! I have gone there multiple times this summer, and never have had more fun! This water park features great staff, watchful lifeguards, awesome slides, and good food. My only warning is: when it is packed, you can expect long food lines, long slide lines, and very crowded seating areas. It is to be expected from such a popular place. An amazing experience!

Great Family Fun. Rides for everyone in the Family. Staff on their toes, so no need to worry to much about the kids enjoying themselves. Just in case you lose one for a few moments. No fee to park, unless you can't walk a full block. Then there is parking for a reasonable fee. Good food for an entertainment park. Somewhat pricy, but nothing compared to most Amusement parks. Easy to get to & if you bring a picnic basket to have your lunch ,there are benches to sit & enjoy. See you next year !

Great water park! Well staffed and clean park out in the country. Look for a Groupon for big discount before you go!

Love this place! Me and my family always have a great time..we go approx once a year

Is a great place for teenagers, has lots and lots of waterslides, and little pools for toddlers and children. Down side, the wave pool is kind of small and they turn it up every half an hour just for a few minutes, also; there aren't pools for adults or places to relax, just a big area with hundreds of lay down chairs altogether.
No foods or drinks are allowed from outside and there is not place outside the park to eat.
The installations are modern and clean.
My kids love this place. I didn't!

Took my son for his 4th birthday yesterday and we had so much fun!! However after we had already been there for 3 hours lifeguards started telling us my son couldn't use his floaties and had to wear a life vest. Which I dont mind but then everyone needs to be on the same page because he wore his floaties for the 1st 3 hours we were there going on slides and in pool and no one said anything so that was kind of annoying but other than that this place is AWESOME and great way to spend a day with the family!!

Keeps growing and getting better year by year! Great for kids of any age...and the parents of those kids :)
