    It's for young children. I brought my granddaughters here for birthday. They had a ball. And they wasn't ready to leave. Lol.

    It was a nice place for kids to enjoy the water. It was only 7 dollars to enter. Will return again.

    My family and I visited Pirates Bay Water Park for the first time last night for the Special Pirate…read moreCelebration event. Firstly, any business that supports specials needs is already great in my book. I read reviews of the long lines, so I gave myself an extra 30 minutes to get there. It was not needed at all. Yes, the line was long, but I purchased tickets online so I didn't have to wait in line for that, and as soon as the clock struck 8pm, the line moved very quickly. We didn't wait for longer than a few minutes. My kiddos thought the wait would be long (and so did I) so they went off to the playground to kill time. Little did I know as soon as they made it, doors were opening so I had to get out of line to go get them then get at the end of the line. Even with that, I'd say it was less than two minutes of waiting. Once inside, I noticed the park was very clean. There was plenty of seating as well as tubes available. The kids opted to spend almost all of their time in the lazy river. Warning: it moves a little fast. I had trouble keeping up lol. There are regular lifeguards that are on the deck observing the kiddos, and there are guards that are actually inside the water interacting with the kids. My two boys were paired with such a sweet angel that gave them the BEST experience. Towards the end of the night, another guard joined them. The boys were on their backs racing and showing off their "tricks." The girls even took them on two of the rides (which I wouldn't have taken them as I am terrified of even the slightest thrill rides). I wish I would have gotten the girls' names as they really took care of my boys. I didn't order any food as the event was only two hours long, and we ate dinner before we left, but food was available for sale, and you also have the option of bringing your own. I brought water for everyone, but we were in the water the whole time so we didn't get to it. Next time, I'll leave it in the car so I don't have to tote anything around.

    Horrible, no food allowed inside but only one person cooking for over 100 kids. Nightmare place for…read morea school trip, DO NOT GO THERE!

It was a lame that they force everyone to wear life jackets now. My kids had their own but for me and many others it was not fun. I heard a ton of people complaining. A couple of the rides we wanted to ride most were out of order so that was a bummer. And some of the workers were nice but more were kinda pushy and mean.

I went with my family for my son's birthday, as we do annually, a tradition that's about 8 years old. We went prior and post COVID. But over time it's gotten very meh. Glad there's no loyalty program, this park it awful. TLDR: It was a Saturday, yesturday (07/19). We arrived early like we always do. We had to purchase a ticket at the gate for a friend for a whooping $87. It was never this high despite corporate takeover & website's claims of no prices changes. We all thought, okay for that amount it must be good. Nope- Terrible. Half of the rides were closed. The very rides they boasted about online, were closed. The only fun & thrills you got was seeing your money vanish. Half the restrooms were closed. Most of the food huts were closed. My son usually gets the works when we go. So whatever he wants to do/eat, we do that. Overpriced food is one of those things. But there was no Dippin Dots or no pizza spots opened. No smell of their usual bbq station. My husband said he passed by a hut that offered chicken strips. Online they claim there's 16 food locations. My butt there was 16. Some of the little huts look like they hadn't been used in a year. (But it's still mid summer people! So it's busy!) Plenty of full stocked empty drink fountains though, *yawn.* Yet it was sunny, then mildly cloudy, and scorching-hot sunny again. I'll paint a picture: Last year they still had many rides opened even during a summer storm warning. One year people on the MASSIV ride got stuck 2x in an 2-3 hour period, guess what? They still fixed it & reopened it within a few hours. They were having life guard training. Weird. Not because they were having it during regular hours. (that's not the first time we've came & they had it. they almost always do.) It's weird because it looked like they closed off most of park for it? (Most modern theme parks give notice of closed rides, renovations, etc. Not them, they think the element of suprise is still cute.) This was the 1st time it felt like a waste of money & trip to Galveston. The entire park has never felt like an over priced swimming pool before. Yes. We paid for an over priced swimming pool because the lazy river that has a "thrill" portion was down too. It was just that. The lines were too long for the little bit of slides they did have open. The lazy river basically was my gateway to see entire park & it was bad. A couple of slides had water running but not once did they open it. Here's the river kicker: can't ride lazy river without a life jacket or wrist band. To get wrist band you must sign waiver. But life jackets are requried for everyone that doesn't sign a waiver. The waiver is only for those 18+. The waiver isn't mentioned until you get into the lazy river by an employee. Glorious, you get to waste time walking back to the front to sign a form that should have been on their website, NOT app. I don't want your terrible 2-bit app. I overheard others complain about that. Sure you can take QR route & sign but guess what? You have to download the app and STILL get in line to get the wrist band. You saved 0 time. We usually make it a thing to go from open to close. We left early. No use, or need to stay any longer. Nothing changed. Nothing open else opened up. Packed picnics lunches for nothing. Do better Sclitterbahn or you'll be a thingof the past like Jungle Surf.

    My family and I visited Lagoonfest while on vacation, and as out-of-towners, we had high…read moreexpectations based on the photos online. While the lagoon itself is nice, it didn't quite live up to what we had envisioned. It felt more like a very upscale neighborhood pool with some fun features -- which would've been fine had we gone in with that mindset. The atmosphere was more of a party vibe -- loud, crowded, and high-energy -- which wasn't what we were personally looking for. I had hoped for a more relaxing experience, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Considering the price, I didn't feel it was worth the cost. The cabana rentals were surprisingly expensive -- even more than what we've paid at actual beaches, like in Cozumel. The highway visible in the background also took away from the overall ambiance. In the end, it just wasn't the right fit for our family. For the price, I'd prefer a beach day or a quieter pool where we can truly unwind.

    The reviews are kind of low, so I felt I would review it to add a different perspective…read more A water park located in a suburban neighborhood, next to a Buc-ees? Interesting! The crowd was mostly families, but you could go as an adult group or even solo. Glad they have a pretty large parking lot, so no stress on that. Came here for the first time on a bright Saturday AM at about 9:50a. Place opens at 10a. Come earlier than that, because others do too, and the line moved a little slow. They have a bag check you have to pass through first. Then you get back in line and go to the window, show your ticket, and/or buy your ticket. Then get your wristband. And then walk in. So you can only bring in what they allow, boooo, check their website for what they allow and dont allow before going. But I will say, the bag check was kind of light, IYKYK. Agree that the best move is to come early to snag a lounge chair with an umbrella. Umbrellas seem to be few and far between, but if you get there early, you should be able to get one. It doesn't seem worth it to rent the expensive cabanas, even with a group. We saw some groups doing it, not sure if they actually had paid the $300 fee, or were just squatting there until they got caught. I liked that they had a bar with some beer/cocktail options, so they place is adult friendly and kid friendly, lol. They have a food menu too, since you can't bring in food. I didn't order anything, but my friend really enjoyed her burger. They also had a few food trucks as well. That day, they were actually having a Pirates and Mermaids themed day. There was a Pirate folk band playing on their mini stage for a few hours. After that, they had a good playlist jamming on the loud speaker. The actual pool of the lagoon is divided in half. One half is for people to swim. The other half is for the water equipment rentals like the kaiyaks etc. We got to enjoy some stand-up paddleboading. That was fun. The water equipment rental is for 30 min at a time. Besides the wild rowdy kids surrounding us, we had a fun experience.

Big Rivers is great about offering reasonable pricing for families and they sponsor many nights where they spotlight groups, offering deep discounts. Parking was free. Finding a good parking spot was easy. If you got a special event, bring your walking shoes because there is a lot to see and do. Lots of activities including a petting zoo, carnival rides, axe throwing, inflatables, and more. We like that they have none of the carnival midway games that take your money for a modest prize. They offer lots of food options ranging from carnival fare like funnel cakes to regular food. Prices are what you would expect. The staff is pretty friendly, lots of young people but enough of the older folks to keep things running smoothly. Overall, it's a relatively inexpensive way to celebrate the holidays, giving you lots to do, see, and enjoy without breaking the bank.
