    Kid pool area
    Dana M.

    This place is ok. Staff is great... way better then wild waves... but the whole park is run down. Everything definitely needs a face lift. Most slides are perfect for 7 and up.. it's nice you can bring your own food and drinks.. You can get a spectator bracelet and if you chose not to go in the water they will refund you $10 per ticket. Very nice option to have.

    First time and probably the last time at this park! We were gonna go to Wild Waves but wanted to try something new. Run down and needs love, paint is chipping, wood is rotten, dirty bathrooms, wobbly wooden stair cases, slides also wobble a bit when you go down. Doesn't feel safe and it isn't appealing to the eye in any way. If they at least repainted the buildings and walls it would look a lot nicer and maintenances the stairs, bathrooms, and Waterslides. The only good thing is the lines aren't too bad, we were there 10am-2:30pm on a Sunday. Didn't wait longer than 10-15minutes per slide. $18 per adult with group discount There are 4 individual slides, a single or duo inner tube slide, a smaller ramp slide, a kiddie pool, an activity pool, and the black hole. The inner tubes are cheap and we saw one get popped as someone was coming down. Nobody was hurt but it scared the girl!

    Ahhhhh.

    BB Waterslides has become a Whatcom County institution, and though it hasn't really changed much over the years it's a reliable destination for a day of fun in the sun with the kids. You can bring your own food now, too, which is a HUGE improvement over the days when they forced you to buy their (not-that-great) food. If you get there early, there's a wide variety of places to sit - from umbrella'd patio tables by the hot tub to adirondack chairs to loungers to covered areas (which you can reserve/rent for the day for just $25). They also have areas for larger groups, and if you have a big organization you can rent out the entire place for an evening of fun and teambuilding! (Hint hint to my employer: wouldn't this be fun?!) Pricing-wise I find it a little steep ($20/person), which can be a lot if you are bringing several kids. They do have a group rate if you have 10 people or more!

    They have lots of lawn chairs but many have cracks on them.

    Went here today with a group and still feel like I overpaid. Pros: Free parking Lots of chairs Slides for little kids You can bring your own food in Cons: The intertubes- they only had about 12 for each slide so you had to wait for a long time for your turn just for the tube. And MOST WERE IN EXTREME NEED OF AIR! It was pathetic. How do you not refill air into intertubes before a busy day. Or buy new ones if these are getting little holes The Lifeguards!! -Almost every lifeguard looked like they wanted to fall asleep or simply not be there. I recorded one lifeguard walking back and forth, back and forth, around the kiddy pool almost NEVER looking at the actual pool. He just looked up and down at the ground and outside the park. I couldnt believe it!! The next person leaned against the gate for most of her time at the pool. How can you see a drowning child if you are not up next to the edge of the pool!! Thank goodness I was watching my kids because those people they are paying are day dreaming. Plus I never heard or saw a whistle on ANY lifeguard. The life guard by the black sides sits on their butt and waves a dirty looking wash cloth in the air to signal the next slider. Get off your butt and stand next to the slides!! And get them a freaking flag! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if these lifeguards were not actually trained in any way... And that they were paid minimum wage. Because that's how they work. The owners of this water park must be super greedy because the place looks disgustingly dirty and old. Like they don't care about maintenance or something as simple as watering grass. The black hole- actually shook back and forth when someone went down it and water squirted out between tube segments! That's terrifying to me. Dirty bathrooms- they looked fine when we arrived but nobody maintened them all day so they became littered with toilet paper The pools all looked like they were in dire need of maintenance. Most slides don't go very fast. Thankfully my kids had a decent time. They weren't aware that a lifeguard probably couldnt help them if they were in need. I hadn't been here in almost 20 years before today. I don't for see myself coming back for a long time. Not worth even the discounted price of $17.50 when I don't feel like my life is in safe hands. Guess I will continue to go to Wild Waves.

    Slides are shaky when you go down them. It's not as much fun as I thought it would be.

    Staff is dangerous undertrained. Rules vary depending on which staff member you speak to. Slides also need maintenance, if they are open.

    Deserving of an updated 4 star review for still bringing amusement park fun plus mini golf, haunted…read morehouse, midway games, climbing wall and concert entertainment to the city in 2025. I had a blast on their thrill rides such as the OG wooden roller coaster which was built way before we were born in 1958...yup, its age does add an extra rocky and spooky element when you are on this ride. Their mini golf course was cute and with enough challenging designs for family fun. Hole in one at hole 16 and 17 was a thoughtful and encouraging design too. Paid parking available and free street parking is possible if you park further away. Staff is overall quite friendly. Vendor foods' costs are of course usually higher at an amusement park but hot dogs, burgers, pizza, donuts and cotton candy are the standard food options at an amusement park. Tips: Recommend to visit on a less sunny or even cloudy day to avoid the heat while in lineup. Do bring a hat or sunscreen on sunny days and stay hydrated. Look for online promotion when buying admission tickets for better value and please don't compare Playland to Disneyland. I chose to visit Playland when PNE is not open for less crowds and spent about half a day there. Put your hands up on the rides and scream for a good time :)

I love their summer fairs, but…read morethis time I thought their food selection was not as good as last years. :: Pig racing - they had their petting zoo open which had many farm animals and a pig race! We were so excited for the pig race, we dropped everything to make sure we make it. However, we were pretty disappointed... the race was for 20mins in total but we only got to see the pigs for probably 1min. They only did two races. The space was also very tight so it was hard for people to see, on top of that, there was no ventilation so it got very stuffy and hot. Considering this is a part of their summer fair, it would've been nice if they some water coolers or fans. :: Superdog show - hands down best part of the fair!! The show was for 30mins and we got to pet the dogs after which was amazing. The show itself was very humorous and had lots of fun elements. Now the food - :: The Tochi YVR flights were amazing, 5/5 would recommend (especially the coconut one) :: Slush Zone - we got their slushies from the Slush Zone which came in funky bottles that looked big but did not hold a lot of fluid. You had to pay $2 to refill them which was not too bad. :: Shrimp Basket from the Shrimp Basket stall, pretty good! The Shrimps were fried to perfection. I wish they had the foot long fries, they were my favourite at PNE!! Hope they bring them back next year.

    This was the one fun thing I did in the Kids' Market at Granville Island. (I didn't stay in the…read moreKids' Market for long, and was greeted at the door by an entire family gathered around a two-year-old having a screaming tantrum.) For $10 you get approximately 7 minutes of a virtual reality experience. Most of it is video game-type stuff but there are a couple of roller coaster simulations and others as well. Pro tip: Ask about what's not in the book. And ask for age-appropriate experiences too, if you want advice - the nice guy working the booth had a good handle on what I might like and what I wouldn't, and I'm sure he could do the same for young kids as well. I've never done *any* VR before so this was a first. It definitely seemed like a glorified video game. The graphics are not FlyOver Canada quality (think somewhere between 1980s Nintendo Duck Hunt and Wreck It Ralph), but the water slide program I chose was really fun! Because I chose a shorter program, I got to choose another. I chose "Iceland" - which I don't recommend. It seemed like I was walking around sub-par graphics with no aim or any control over my "body." Next time I'll definitely do amusement park rides only! A fun way to pass the time (or at least to get away from screaming children in 7 minute increments!).

Customer service was great - the smiles and courtesy seemed genuine. We were herded into a cramped space for a 10-minute "show" about Iceland. Initially I thought that was it - which would have been a bummer. Instead, we were then shuffled into a lineup for the flyover space. The attendants, smiling and courteous as ever, politely exhorted us into checking our seat belt buckles numerous times, which was slightly unnerving. Sure enough, once the real show began and the floor dropped away below our feet, I understood why they were so thorough. We took off and seemingly dipped and swirled through the skies over Iceland - it was quite lovely and spectacular, and realistic to the point where I eventually felt nauseated. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I do it again? Sure would. But next time I'll remember to take a ginger pill first:)

As for me, someone who has done it a few times before, I was still amazed by the quality of the ride. Definitely a MUST!
