I gave this place 3 stars for started bathroom after a hour of being open were so nasty look like hasn't been clean from last night a turn off. This place needs separate tubes. Staff didn't care people were sitting down holding tubes like they were their personal tubes. You stand in line and wait for someone to be done with a tube , well no one follow directions and there was a long line waiting on tubes. Cade area definitely needs more cashier over a hour to order food. Good was decent besides the chicken tenders but for the price again I want complain on that much. Would I come back probably now but, my family enjoy a nice day to beat the heat.

We wanted to check out something else prior but that water park was packed and didn't have a premium admission price. Parking wasn't bad at all but what was pretty bad was only 40 percent of the water park was open and paying full price to go in. You only had access to the lazy river, plunge/diving board and 2 of the slides. That's it everything else was blocked off indefinitely. There were fights for the beach benches, unruly children trying to steal the inflatable tubes as well as constantly line cutting or spitting on people from the railing waiting to go down a slide as well long lines to even get in to the lazy river. Maybe my opinion of this place would be a bit different if this place was fully open but I would look elsewhere before coming here.

When I still had my kids living at my house, we used to purchase season passes to Cypress Cove…read moreevery year. Everyone in my family loved the place. As my kids got older and went through high school, we stopped buying the passes because they weren't interested in going to Cypress Cove on a regular basis anymore. So, I hadn't been there in years. In July 2024, my wife and I decided to entertain some younger relatives by taking them to the waterpark. Low and behold, the water was so cold that nobody could stand it. The kids' lips were BLUE, they shivered uncontrollably, and they struggled to have any fun. They didn't even want to stay after only a few minutes. You KNOW something is wrong if young kids want to quickly leave a waterpark on a beautiful, hot summer day! We asked the Cypress Cove staff about the shockingly cold water and they revealed that ever since COVID, the park stopped heating the water in order to save money. They flat out don't operate the water heating system anymore, it's been deliberately mothballed. Say what? What kind of water park doesn't heat the water? That's totally unacceptable and I've never experienced such a thing - EVER. Every water park or public pool that I've ever been to in my 50+ years of life has heated the water so that it's comfortable. My family won't even consider returning to Cypress Cove until we hear that they've resumed heating the water like normal. The only thing I can appreciate about the situation is that the Village of Woodridge, which operates Cypress Cove, is conscious of keeping its spending down for the taxpayers. But there are much more sensible things to cut from the city budget than heating the water at the town's water park. That's ridiculous.

There were a lot of kids but they all played well with and around each other. The concession stand ran out of majority of its menu including water bottles while we were there though. We were there from 2-4pm. All in all I would definitely recommend coming with your family that has small children. Great entry price. I would bring your own cooler with snacks and drinks though. Also go Early to beat the crowds and get better seats. The park benches that we ended up having to sit on towards the gates were broken and half of it kept lowering to the ground as we sat on them.

The lazy river was shallow enough for our tall almost 4 year old to touch the bottom and they had fun there as well. The slide was a little bit of a let down as you have to be 48 inches to use and they won't let a smaller child go down without a parent. We mistakenly thought it was 42 inches and they let our little one go a few times before someone stopped us and said actually they aren't tall enough. I think the park is mostly best for much younger children, and older ones might find it a little boring because it is somewhat small. Overall though we did have a fun time and would come again.

We've been coming to Raging Waves every summer for several years, both under the previous owners…read moreand now under the new management, and I have to say, I'm incredibly disappointed this time around. We always rent a cabana during our visits. In the past, when we paid $250, we were greeted with a nice welcome: an ice bucket filled with cold bottled water and a fresh fruit plate. It was a thoughtful touch that made the cost feel justified. Unfortunately, that hospitality has completely disappeared under the new management. We arrived bright and early this morning, having skipped breakfast because we assumed the welcome amenities would still be part of the experience. On the hottest day of the year, we were shocked to find no cold water, no fruit plate, nothing. And to make matters worse, you're not allowed to bring in any outside food or drink, meaning we were stuck paying $3.99 per bottle of water. For a $250 cabana, that just feels unacceptable. To be clear, the staff was friendly and the park was clean. But the overall value has dropped significantly with the removal of these simple but important amenities. I've rented cabanas at many other water parks, and Raging Waves is now the only one that doesn't include anything extra for the price. Please do better, Raging Waves. If you're going to charge premium prices, the experience should feel like a premium one

The lazy river is really big and while I went on a less busy day, the lines weren't too long and they were staffed well. Lots of unsupervised and children though.

It's worth it especially if you come often. There are plenty of seating and big umbrellas for shade. Favorite part about the pool is the adult swim time in Dolphin Cove from 11-12:30pm daily. The pool goes up to 5 feet deep and it's where we all walk in a circle creating a giant whirl pool. Sometimes I like to walk against the current for some resistance. There are also 3 lap lanes if you prefer to swim. Adult time is also at Splashdown and the pool is 12' deep. I see they provide some equipment and paddle boards too for water exercises. Ask the lifeguard office for it. When adult swim is over it's fun to see all the kids jumping in screaming, and the adults slowly making their way out. Hurricane cove is another fun area with whirl pool, gator crossing, fountains and sprayers. Nice place for all ages but it can get a little busy. The shallow end is a nice place to get your feet wet and catch some sun too. The red Sidewinder water slide is slower and curvier, which I prefer. While the yellow Pipeline slide is an enclosed speed slide. Another fun slide is The Bowl Slide. Round and round ya go than the slide drops into 8 feet of water! Diving area is at Splashdown, which drops into 12′ of water. There you will find a low dive, high dive, and drop slide. There is a concession stand for basic snacks. Pretzels, nachos, bosco sticks, ice cream, etc. They also sell sunblock if you forget yours. Bathrooms are decent with changing stalls and showers. Lockers are provided but you must bring your own lock. Plenty of free parking too!
