Just took my two non swimming 4 and 6 year olds and had an absolute blast! There are seven slides…read moretotal. Two slides require a swim test to use. One slide is in the kiddie pool. There is one nice wide family slide for everyone. There is one super steep one that my six year old braved successfully. The last two are like a twisty open one and then a twisty closed tube style. No life jackets are allowed on the slides but the lifeguards literally stand there and catch your kids and take them back to the side to get out and go again. I was there by myself outnumbered and nervous about my nonswimming kids and no life jackets but quickly relaxed and realized my kids were safe and having the time of their lives. The lifeguards were happy to pass my kids to me but also totally fine if I got out to go do the family slide with one of them if needed. That's always the tricky part of being outnumbered by kids - when the pack wants to split up and I can't be two places at once. Anyway the snack bar food was pretty terrible but pizza was alright. You can bring in a cooler though. Next time I'll pack a full picnic for everyone. They do a lot of adult swims so the lifeguards can rotate but that gives everyone a chance to grab a snack and potty and also gave us a nice window to exit. The pool temp was fantastic and the water was clean. It's a government facility so there's some stuff that could use an upgrade naturally but for $10 a person I was impressed!

This water park is on the Oceana Base and the address posted on their website will get you totally…read morelost. Other than that small detail (I had to stop at a reenlistment picnic to ask someone for directions), it is a smash hit and we love it! I am only bummed we didn't know about it last summer! Admission is $6 for active duty, retirees, reservists, & eligible family members, $8 for guests (up to 2 guests per adult w/ ID), kids 3 and under are free. Season passes are based on the number of people in your family... 1= $60, 2= $110, 3= $135, 4= $170, 5= $200, 6= $225 Despite the website's direction that no outside food is allowed and you must purchase food from concessions, *EVERYONE* brings a cooler with lunch in it. So, pack away and save yourself a fortune in concession stand prices. This is a clean and well-maintained facility, for sure. They offer pavilion rental and swimming lessons, which is great! One thing you'll want to warn your kids about ahead of time is "adult swim time" which is a 15 minute break for the kids from the pool they allows the adults to enjoy the facilities (and helps prevent sun-poisoned, exhausted kids)... my kids were upset because adult swim happened 10 mins after we arrived. Oops! There is plenty of seating and it's not so crazy (or wasn't today) that there are long lines... if you get here in time to snag a table, you'll have shade under an umbrella, but annoyingly, people fill the tables with their stuff (even though they aren't sitting there) and you'll be left without shade unless you plan ahead. The snack bar is an array of popsicles, string cheese, burgers, and preservative-packed packaged food that will run you between $0.50 and $5.00 per item. Not terrible on price, really, but far from health-friendly. Better than nothing! For $6/$8 per person, it's a great time. Pack a lunch to save more money, bring as many friends as you can fit in your car. We will be back!

Our fishing trip got canceled due to hurricane Erin. We decided to go to the waterpark on our last…read moreday in the Outer Banks. It was a little pricey, but so worth it. The park is completely enclosed, and all the rides are grouped together by size. So our youngest toddlers got to go play all day then our older kids got to go to this section for the families while also going to check out the thriller rides. it was a great time. I highly suggest to anyone who had canceled plans on the fly.

Very nice water park. Clean and well maintained. Didn't feel crowded and we had a really fun time…read more Definitely recommend when visiting Outerbanks. Also staff is nice and slides are different levels so based on your courage, you have different options.

Went early to beat lines, as it was my first time coming here. 9:30am it was when opening time was…read more10am. There were very few people ahead of me, so I was content. We came here this early to try and get a big locker. These jumbo lockers are a whopping $55. Once I got the locker, we wound up waiting for the Wave Pool to open. Not sure why, but when I realized why, I said it made sense. Instead of purchasing a locker, ppl ran to grab a beach chair (which there was plenty of) to lay their belongings there and cover it with a towel. Many ppl did this to avoid paying for a locker. Now, idk if I would try this, but I personally didn't see anyone going through anyone's belongings. The first ride we went on was the Colossal Curl. Now you see, I'm a thrill seeker. I've jumped out of a plane twice, gone ATV riding, rode in a chopper twice, and the list goes on, but this particular water ride, had my nerves in a mess when it was over. This ride almost made me think it was going to flip over. It def had me shaken, so yes, it was a great ride, so was Big Daddy Falls. Went on a few other rides, as well as, including kiddie rides with my 3yr old son. He was fearless, and wanted to get on all the big rides. I forgot the name of this mini water park for kids next to Big Daddy Falls, but there were so many kids shooting water at everyone that I had to sit down and recoup. It was like a water war zone LOL. Overall, great place to enjoy with family and friends. To the women wearing swimsuit thongs, come on, there's lots of kids around. Yall don't need to seek attention everywhere you go! Tip: If you have a water bottle from Busch Gardens, you can bring it to Water Country and pay just $4.99 for unlimited refills for the day!
