    I grew up going here when it was Magic Waters but haven't been in probably a decade. We took our…read morekids this time and had a ton of fun. Here is what I noticed: The place was smaller than I remember (that seems to happen as I get older and larger), but doesn't mean it's small. It's a great size with a lot of different things to do for almost every age group from babies to adults. Since we have little ones we stayed in the kids area most of the time and our kids loved it. They have a big water playground with one of those huge buckets that dumps a waterfall every 5 minutes or so. I really want to go back sans kids and go on some of the adult slides because they've added a bunch and they look super fun. The lines aren't bad to get to anything (in fact we never waited for anything while we were here) so they do great crowd control. The wave pool in the center is a fun time too, and they also have a lazy river. The workers were all pleasant to us and the park was kept very clean. The kids area did need a little scrubbing of the floor (in the center of the playground floor, where there is standing water), but that was about it. I felt fine walking barefoot everywhere. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the high prices of the food and drinks. $12 for a kids dip n dots ice cream, $20 for one order of chicken fingers...these are ballpark or movie theater prices, maybe worse. That's the only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars to me. At least they provide a few umbrellas and picnic tables in the parking lot, so as long as you prepare and bring a lunch or meal with you, just go eat it in the parking lot and come back. The other nice thing is they stamp your hand upon exiting if you want to return, so it's very nice they allow going in and out if you need to. We got season passes this year (nice that they also get you into six flags as well) so I am looking forward to coming back again soon!

    Dishonest website. The coolest ride in their website (Wipeout) hasn't been opened in YEARS yet…read morethey don't remove it Because it draws business. The stairs to the rides are covered in Bird Poo that you get to navigate barefoot. The price was fine but you get what you pay for apparently.

    Went today to enjoy some time with our young nephew and niece before they go back to school. Nice…read moreand clean facility and they really enjoyed their time. Only complaint I have is that there were some young teenagers rough housing in the lazy river area. At one point they had my 5 yr old nephew trapped under their floats. The life guards were told about this and they said they only break it up if someone is being hurt. So a 5 yr old trapped under a float by rough housing teens in the lazy river is allowable behavior? I think NOT! At the front desk I asked about a veteran discount and was told "I don't think we do that". Please educate your staff and PLEASE honor the spirit of a "lazy river."

    They should have a sign that explains that they don't accept American Express.I waited in line at…read morethe concession stand for 20 minutes, the lady at the desk tells me that she sometimes doesn't accept American Express.I asked her could I come back with a different card,and she said yes.I come back to the pick up line.The other lady is saying I have to come back and wait in line.I tell her what happen and she even asks the other girl can she take my order.She just said for me to come back in line.I am pregnant and the line was longer than it was the first time I was in it.Thank goodness I had crackers in my bag. I think it is ridiculous to make a customer come back in line when there is no sign that states that they don't accept American Express.The water park it self was overall a fun experience for the family, but I probably would not come back to order food unless I have cash because I'm not taking a chance that they tell me to wait back in line.
