Loooooove this place. Not our first time there at all but was the first time for the gran babies. They LOVED it. We went on Friday night cause it was Friday Night Light and only $15 a person after 5pm and they shoot fireworks at 930pm. Going at 5pm gives you more then enough time to do what you want until closing and not a bad price at all. Yes the line was long but it moved pretty quickly to get in. Yes I highly recommend. Worth the drive read more

This park is amazing! From the low prices to the amazing employees. I love going here every summer and I would take my friends here any day of the week. From spending a day to just keep coming back, it is great every day. I would recommend getting a season pass because they are inexpensive and they will save you so much time for getting in the park and will save you so much money. read more

Usually pretty fun but took the kids today which is not cheap to do with the number of children we have. After being there for maybe 30 minutes a thunderstorm rolled in. It happens I understand but with them shutting down the water park and most rides my wife asked about rainy day tickets. Management said no and that they never close the park no matter the weather conditions which seems really unsafe. So now we have spent a ton of money to sit under an umbrella. read more

Overpriced. All my kids, including my *six year old* were considered "adults" and charged the full $37.99 entry fee. Then when we got inside, the one big roller coaster, the Kentucky Rumbler, was closed for the day (season??), as was the log flume ride (Whitewater Express). Disappointing (and expensive) experience. read more

Beech Bend is, by no means, a large amusement park. It is pretty small & does not have a lot of rides but of the few it does have, they have some pretty great ones. A lot of the rides are the type you would find at a county fair, but they are fun! Their roller coaster was also a lot more fun than I expected from a roller coaster at such a small park. They have a good amount of rides, including ones for younger toddlers. The Splash Lagoon water park, in my opinion, was disappointing, but being that I am used to Splashin' Safari at Holiday World, this may be why. It is definitely nothing spectacular. They have a few water slides, a Lazy River, small wave pool, & a few children's areas. They do offer free sunscreen. They have a few restaurants & food stands as well. At $36 for adults & $32 for children, it is cheaper than bigger amusement parks but definitely not as fun. The last time I visited here the park was definitely not clean. There was trash & cans & bottles thrown on the ground instead of in trash cans throughout the park. Their website advertises free admission to anyone serving in the U.S. military with military ID & a discount for their family members in 2016. Not sure if this applies for 2017 as well, but this is a nice offer. You can purchase a second day ticket for only $20, but I can guarantee you can experience everything this park has to offer in one day. Although you won't get the huge amusement park experience at this park, you can have a good time & is worth coming to at least once. Kids will love it! As it has been almost 3 years since I last went here, I am somewhat interested in going back, now that I have a child of my own, & am interested in seeing any new additions they have made. read more

We went to the park on 7/24 which was a Sunday. I brought my 65 year old father and my 3 teenagers. The tickets are a little spendy for this park..I definitely recommend getting a buy 1 get 1 free coupon, or buying your tickets at an IGA gas station ($23 there). Here are the Pros : * Free sunscreen, free soft drinks and free parking. This cut a HUGE chunk out of what I normally spend at a park. * LOTS of lounge chairs throughout the water park. * Plenty of Lifeguards. My kids aren't super swimmers by any means, but I felt comfortable with them branching out due to the number of lifeguards present. * Free intertubes, and LOTS of them. * The Kentucky Rumbler! By far the best wooden roller coaster I've been on, and I've been on many. Cons: * The park is small. If you are looking for Disneyworld, you'll be disappointed. If you remember you're in a small town in KY, you'll be excited at what you get :-) * The food situation. We went to a little place in between the two parks called Beech Bend Hall. The selection was minimal and the prices were typical of amusement park fare. That wasn't the problem. We were at a WATER PARK, yet we weren't allowed to wear swimsuits into this place. Two of my kids were asked to leave because one was in swim trunks and my daughter was in a very conservative one piece swim suit. I had a swim suit and a cover up on and they told me I couldn't come back in like that. I was very frustrated and made a formal complaint. It wasn't a sit down restaurant, it was a hamburger stand at a WATER PARK! I'm not sure if the rest of the eateries were this way...but if you plan to dine in your suit, don't go to the Beech Bend Hall. * Changing rooms - they were pretty yucky. Not clean, lots of trash, and just looked and smelled bad. All in all, it was a great visit. The staff was very attentive....there was plenty of drink/sunscreen stands and we overall had a fantastic time! We are seriously considering season passes next year :-) read more

Great all in one park. Amusement park and water park for one price. Great for all ages. Can cover entire park in one day. Has something for everyone. No lines to wait in on the day we were there. Smaller than places like six flags but plenty to keep the kids busy all day. The water area has areas separated for every age/swim level with slides for toddlers all the way to adults. Wave pool and lazy river. Plenty of life guards to make the parents feel safe. Life vests also available. Free sunscreen ! Food is typical park food- pizza, hotdogs, pretzels, nachos ect. All overpriced of course but if you buy a souvenir cup you get refills of soft drinks for $1 or water for free. You can also go outside the gate and picnic areas available. Price was @$30 per day but we had 1/2 price coupons which made it a real bargain for $15. Locker rentals and strollers available. Camping also available . read more

The rides aren't particularly exciting and the ambiance is lacking. That being said, there were no lines, the kids loved the classic "county fair" rides, the food was reasonably priced, and EVERY SINGLE employee we encountered was so friendly, kind, and helpful. Good customer service goes a long way! read more

It's an easy drive from Nashville. An aging hodgepodge of rides with a water park. There is no theme. Not particularly friendly employees. Not particularly clean. Not worth the money. read more

Stayed for a few weeks at the park. It felt seedy and unkept. If you're camping, watch out. Internet access is a joke. I saw a lot of suspicious activity from the tons of permanent campers. read more

A prior review used "deplorable". In a word, that says it all. The surrounding area has lots to do, but as far as a campground, this was horrible. Tight spots, tight roads in and out, pads are not level- we had to move three times to find a spot we could level. Few 50 amp spots, and those pads were destroyed with potholes and ruts from bigger rigs. Doesn't look like there have been upgrades for years. Leveler pads lefts holes in the blacktop pads, and grass was growing through. One water spigot for every two pads. One 50 amp plug in was cracked and missing the whole plastic casing. WiFi was $5 a day. $45 a night for this? Don't trust the Camping World Good Sam book ratings- this place had an 8.5, and there is no way possible read more

This place was a pure waste of time for me and my family. It was way overpriced and unsafe. Go at your own risk and if anything happens do not expect management to be helpful. They were very rude and condescending. Treated me and my family very disrespectful. I will never step foot on this park again. I have permanently marked them off of my family outing list. To give them a 1 star rating is being overly generous. A zero feels more appropriate. read more

I love going to beech bend every year......the park is family friendly and they have an amazing water park. I wouldn't give any less than 5 stars on this one. read more

Amusement Park Prices with fair rides! You pay 30+ to get in but Active Military get in FREE! The only benefits to the high prices are free parking, free sunblock. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. Keep in mind, a cup of ice water is free if you don't want to spend a lot of money. The rides reminded me of going to the fair, the only difference is No Long Lines. The water park was my favorite part. There is a wave pool, lazy river and water slides. When I was there they were currently working on new slides. As for lockers, they are rented via a terminal inside the water park. There are some outside the water park, the keys for those can be bought at the entrance in the gift shop. My only complaint would be the mini golf. The attendent was rude. No hello only, You Know This Costs Money Right? The mini golf course needs work, seems to be no up keep. It also seemed the course was not numbered correctly but I may be wrong. Either way be sure to get your money's worth for the price. Stay all day, get some sun and enjoy the water. read more

I do not want to be that person but omg has they let this place get run down, let's start with, the big rides were down all weekend... I bought season passes (before visiting the park after several years) and we stood in line for 45 minutes just to get are receipt scanned, not because there were that many people ahead of us but because the line was not moving. Next we went to the slides where there was not enough water in the pool so when we good down the slide one of us hit the bottom so hard he now has bruising and a knot on his elbow with busted skin.. lazy river next, wasn't too bad. Roudy kids, life guards just letting the run and play.. no biggie. Decided to get something to drink ..1.5 hours in line to get something to eat or drink and there were only 8 people in the line in front of us and the food and drinks are massively overpriced. Finally to the pool.. the deep end was closed because the could not see the bottom of it and kids were running and jumping all over the place. Ok so kids run and jump in but I am talking about kids running from one end of the pool to the next and jumping on people, after being hit a couple of times I finally said something to a lifeguard and was told, it's a free pool and they can do what they want...NOPE, LETS STOP THERE... it is not a free pool, I paid a lot of money and I know kids will be kids but not one time did ANY of the lifeguards stop the kids and teens from running and jumping on people in the water. AGAIN, I do not want to be that person but for the prices you pay to to go and take your family I can guarantee Nashville shores or holiday world would not be this bad. read more

Overall Beech Bend is a great place at a good price. There are great rides and the water park's new tube slides are amazingly fun! The reason I'm giving the splash lagoon part 1 star is the people running the slides had terrible customer service. They talked to each other and barely paid attention to the job they were supposed to be doing. This resulted in the slide lines being really long and taking a lot longer than they should. Even when you got to the top and were ready to slide, it took forever to be able to go down the slide because they weren't paying attention and directing people on what to do. There was one girl in particular, wearing purple (versus the red most life guards wear) so I don't know if she was a manager but I think that might be what she was. She had a very bad attitude and acted like she didn't want to be bothered to do her job at all. The workers in the rest of the park were nice, helpful and paid attention to what they were doing so this review is just for the splash park slides. read more

Okay, this is a small park - know that up front and you'll be pleased. Saved a few bucks pre-ordering and printing tix online. Many rides similar to county fair on the park side, but feel much safer! Pretty easy to get thru all rides in a half day or less. Water park isn't the biggest, but it's fairly decent. Most staff on either side are congenial. Food is average at best, but it's typical park food. Free drinks are pepsi products, but enough variety that none of us complained. Would def come back --- there's enough to do around the area (caves, vettes, etc) to spend A few days here. read more

I went with my husband and a friend to spend some time together and have fun, and I had more fun then I expected! I think I had the most fun in the lazy river though. My only issues was it was a bit dirty, melted ice cream all over the place. It was a bit of a hazard. read more

Great place for toddlers. Worth the hour drive from Nashville for an annual vist. :)

If I could give it zero stars I would. We waited 45 minutes in line to go on a slide for them to publicly weight you and who ever you are trying to ride the slide with. I understand that you need to have a weight limit but it's only 400 pounds that is that much for two adults. The scale should be down at the bottom before you stand in line and then told you can't ride the slide with out getting either single tubes up at the top which there weren't any or walk down and wait on line again! Most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced. Before people call us fat my husband is literally a body builder and is straight muscle. read more

so far some fun for my son not packed thank god they are slow can't imagine if there were busy or full of guest and the concessions stands are slow the lines are long i don't think they have enough stands or workers here for anything!! read more

Everybody who did go on a ride got hurt in someway. I was flung off the raft and hit my side on the green slide. My other friend got stuck at the top and when he hit the water and tried to get up his float over-turned and got his leg stuck and his bad knee got injured. Then my other friend got overturned on the slide and hit his shoulder. And then they said I would be ok but clearly not. but the staff was okay-ish read more

Absolutely great fun for the family. Very pricey on food & drink but other than that, the all around experience and atmosphere is wonderful. I take my family every year. read more

I have been here twice at end of season. It was totally clean, the staff were very nice, and there is free sunscreen, parking and sodas.Near end of season, there wasn't much open in the way of food (we got pretzels,nachos, and dipping dots) and some of the smaller attractions, like carnival games, were closed, but it was well worth it to avoid crowds. There are only a few coasters and a flume ride for adults, but we didn't wait in any lines at all! This park is small-ish, and when we (2 adults) went, we finished up in about 3 hours, but for families with kids, we could have stayed much longer enjoying the water park atttractions and kid-side of the amusement park. The cost is equal to the size of the park. It's about $30 for an adult (versus almost $100 at Disney) but there isn't as much to do, so it works out about right (plus no parking or drinks costs really is a huge bonus (At Disney you';; pay about $20 to park and maybe $6 per drink). Overall, I found it a pleasant, calm place to enjoy the day. Easy drive from Nashville, too. My boyfriend, who is Hispanic, did notice he was a definite minority there, (purely Gringos here my friend!), but all the employees were friendly so he didn't feel uncomfortable. Nice place to visit. (Istarted to give it only 4 stars since it is a smaller park with less to do, but as far as value for your money goes, it is 5 starts since admission is so much less than other places.) read more

This campground is rather strange. Once you get thru the "guard shack" you have to wind around, without hitting any pedestrians or cars going the wrong way (easy to go the wrong way-poorly divided road with no directionality) that are anxious to get to the rides. While I was concerned about the noise from the amusement park, it was the fireworks, that went off without notice or apparent reason @ 10pm, that was startling. Once you make it to a site, after driving over several ruts and potholes (first come, first serve) you may THINK you have found a perfect sight. Most sites are unnumbered and only half the sites have working electric, and only 1/4 have water hook-ups! Claims to have WiFi, but couldn't get any. No restaurants nearby. Sites are skinny. I'm giving it 2 stars because we did find a spot, after 3 attempts, that had working, electric, water and sewer. We camped in a 43ft 5th wheel abd arrived @ 10am. Getting out is just as strange. Keep all your receipts, as you have to give one back, as you depart. If you don't have it, you get to pay again. We waited 10 minutes to exit while a car asked for change for $100 Bill. We will not return. read more

I went to Beech Bend many years ago and loved it so,,,,,,,I invited my daughter and kids to come from MI and go. We went on July 17th, 2017 They had lost power so we couldn't even get in the gate. We went for lunch and came back. We got in this time and went to the lazy river which was flowing but a life guard came running up and said get out its not open.! So we went to wave pool _ It was waving but they said it not open _ so went to log flume and got in the log then man said get out it is broke and a man came in a four wheeler thingy to fix it and they said it would be a while. So we walked on down to nearby petting farm and it was closed. We did not have a good day at Beech Bend Park. And it was expensive! Very disappointed my Michigan family sad. read more
