Wyandot Lake (now Zoombezi Bay) Review

Would get 5 but the area for children should consist of slides that don't require height of 46" to ride. Having 5 and 8 yr old children who cant go down slide in kids area makes very unhappy kids

The adult lazy river is nice and really liked wave pool

Best water park I have ever been to the rides are really fun.

We would Definately do this trip again. Amazing zoo experience

So much fun for the whole family!! Plenty for everyone to do and very convenient to be able to bring coolers and picnic lunch!! Food and drink prices are a little much, but since you can bring your own it doesn't have to ruin the fun!!!

Food and drinks fairly priced compared to other zoo's and waterparks. More covered seating would be helpful during sunny days with no cloud coverage

Fun day! Spent the "last day of summer" and it was nice. Pretty much everything open. We only noticed 1water attraction (some kind of water obstacle course) not open. All slides were rocking, guards doing a their jobs. I'd have to assume this is tough with college kids (often seasonal employees) are back at school. They definitely kept everyone's safety in mind (shut down for ~gour while it stormed) but got to ng again quickly. They had to shut down a second time with an approaching storm, but I was confident that it wasn't too early (we weren't sitting there under sunny skies) or too late (plenty of time to gather belongings and make it out. Lost a star for lacking clear maps/directions at the water park (can't carry a map with me) and waiting to get concessions (we were the only ones in line....they were in the back sitting down and not paying attention). Overall a fun day.

Last time I came here it was Wyandotte Lake, yah, I'm getting old Not a single thing to complain about on this trip

I guess it would be 5 if they actually had enough lockers. Or if you get there first thing. As it was, I sat there the whole time watching bags. Even little boxes, just for your car keys, you could leave your bags in the car. So sad. Waste of money for me. Never even got wet

I spent a lot of time here as a teenager. It was called Wyandot lake back then. It had more rides, games and shops. The price is high. You can go to kings island for just a few dollars more.

Zoombezi has something for everyone--slides, lazy rivers, and a wavepool. It's definitely expensive, so look for coupons somewhere or maybe get tickets from Kroger.

CRAZY crowded on the day we went. Heat index was over 100 deg that day.
Animals were still out in the zoo. Great time was had by all

Loved it. Something for the whole family. Private cabana worth the extra payment

I wish they had a line for cars for memberships. It would be a nice prop add on. We waiting in line over 30 minutes just to get to parking. I love the waterpark and the zoo.

Wonderful experience at this water park! We rented a cabana for the day and it was worth it for our group of 8. Plenty of activities for kids to do. Food was pretty standard for a water park, don't expect anything gourmet.

Always a great time! Don't forget to bring extra towels and a wad of cash lol

The waterslides are fun, and I would give this place a 7-star rating. I like the wave pool. It is the best place to go in the summer.

Zoombezi Bay bathrooms are the cleanest bathrooms in an any Aquatics facility that I have ever seen! Fantastic job!

Went there thinking my kids will be able to see 500 species at least.I feel like all I paid to much to see dippin dots food stands and gift shops! Animals were clearly hot seemed like they were neglected!!! The reindeer hardly moved and the penguins also. The camels carried people on a little path for a whole hour before trading out. Hardly any zebras, most exhibits were blocked off and the reptile exhibit had a line from the door all the way threw, gave up our spot in line because of social distancing from others. Staff needs to be more aware of how bad covid-19 is! ENFORCE SOCIAL DISTANCE!!!

This was my first time here and it was fun. There's enough for all ages

Thanks for closing the pool for two hours due to a 10 min sprinkle. It's not exactly cheap to come here and pay for the tickets, parking and your overpriced food.

It s good has fun rides and even has places for babies ! In my opinion this place is great

Always a great time! Clean, organized, and reasonably priced.

A lot of fun for everyone in the family. Wear water shoes! The lazy river was warm. A lot of the water had a warmer temperature.

Loved the park. My granddaughters really had a good time. We bought the VIP passes, that included all you can eat from the food kiosks, 2 free alcohol drinks, entrance to both the bay and zoo unlimited front of the line rides for the bay. Unfortunately the unlimited ride passes doesn't include the zoo rides. The ordering online advertising was misleading, which caused confusion once we arrived. The staff was unable to verify the amenities for the VIP passes. This needs to change.

My first time there and it was amazing. It's a big zoo and has lots of things to see

Fun for all ages and all staff were very helpful and friendly!

It was great for the one hour I was there. They had to close it down when a storm came through which is very understandable. Cant wait to try again!

Fun but thet let way too many people in the park at once

I wish the restrooms and pools were more accessible. Most ADA stalls were closed or being used as changing rooms for families.

Too much of a wait to even get on a slide and way over packed

Went for the adult only section but it was closed. Customer service gave us passes for next season to compensate.

It was ok. So many rude folks walking around. It's craziness

The rides are fun, but no ride is worth the wait. We went on a Monday which is less busy than weekends, but the lines were still long (really more slow than ling, but I'll get into that). It takes forever for the line to move because there is such a big gap in time between rides. I'm sure this is a liability thing and they want to clear the landing area, but there has to be a more efficient system. Unfortunately, I don't think they care. Their main concern, naturally, is profit. All the mechanical rides (kiddie rides you would find at a county fair) are a separate cost, and barely anyone was riding them. If they got rid of those and built a few more water rides the lines would thin out.

Looking on the bright side, the lines for the body slides thinned out in the last hour, and I was happy to ride those as they are the most intense rides in the park. Apparently people avoid them due to a combination of their sheer intensity and also the feeling that you are sliding down a cheese grater (I'll bring a shirt next time).

Lots of fun things to do, even in the rain. Unfortunately a lot of slides were closed (not sure if because of covid or staffing), but we made the most of what was open.

This is about customer service we received at ticket window. My little boy received Zoombezi bay free admission coupon from Dublin Library for summer reading and he was very excited about it. We planned visit and bought ticket online for other family members. When we reached to gate, they said we have to stand in line to redeem the voucher of our little guy. so we stand in line for 45 mins and guy at ticket window said you have to buy ticket for redeem it. we said, we already bought a 3 tickets online however he said he can't do anything about it so we ended up buying ticket for my boy. He was very discouraged about all this situation. I'm Columbus zoo member as well as supporting them for many years. We felt that they need better customer service and smooth system to handle this kind of situation.

Had a great time with the grandbaby. Will be going back in a few weeks.

I am about to vitiate the zoo but I want to visit exactly the dinosaur island, can someone give me information about where it is located inside the zoo? or inside the zoombezi bay?

We had a blast!! This was a great way to kick off our new memberships!! Looking forward to a year of zoo adventures!

Great family place and many different water attractions love it so much we're going back next Saturday

Wish I had a park like this in the west coast...overall...good...but wish it was like when I visited years ago

So much fun!!! Took the kids on the 4th of July and went down every slide multiple times with minimal wait time! Even has an area for younger kids to enjoy. For adults there is a bar, not much of a selection on drinks but the ones they did have were strong and tasty. Beer selection was smaller too, but not a big deal. They have at least one thing for most tastes. The food wasnt too bad, they have a large selection of eats, including Donatos pizza. This is a great place to go to beat the heat and they had plenty of staff there to assist your needs. Way to go guys! You rock!

It's huge my feet was sore from all the walking but we had so much fun

The only reason I gave a 2 star is because the life guards did not watch over the kid area very well at all there was teenagers pushing the little kids down and hurting them and they did nothing about it

Took my son here for his birthday. Great water park. Lots of family friendly fun

Got the season pass for my family and it was great! Sometimes the lines for the water slides were long but the slides and the lazy river and the wave pool were very fun.

The Baboon Lagoon kids' area is so much colder than everything else. Makes it hard with a small one who can't ride the big slides, and won't go in the kid area because it's so cold. Wave pool, roaring river and tiny tides were nice for kids

Swimming areas excellent. Eating places terrible. We stood in line for an hour for burgers and fries.

If you and your kids love water rides or simply spending time by the pool.. this is the best place to be. I would recommend getting yearly membership. Even without my son me and my wife love spending time at the bar

Very fun place! Would highly recommend to families! A little bit of everything a water-park has to offer. Big Slides, Lazy River, Wave Pool, Giant Bucket! All here at the Bay!

They do a great job social distancing! Slides are soooo much fun there.

Went a week ago, we loved it, cant wait to go back next month. Did the 2 day pass totally worth it, got to see the zoo and enjoy the waterpark. Recommend 100%. No compaints, everyone was super nice and friendly. Food was great.
