We held our wedding reception in the reception hall of Centennial Oaks this October. Though the primary event planner left to take a job about 5 months before our event, the general manager (John) was in contact with us shortly after to assure our reception would go off without a hitch. The size is nice and the room configuration can be switched around to accommodate anywhere from 50-300 guests. There is a nice view from 2 different sets of glass doors looking out to the course. We were allowed access to the space the day before to decorate, and John was on hand to answer last minute questions including table set up, tear down, and serving guidelines. About 105 people attended our reception and it never seemed overly crowded. The buffet lines for dinner were fast moving, and Centennial Oaks provided staff to dismiss tables. For our tasting, Centennial Oaks staff worked with us to arrange a time that fit with our schedule. They were conscious of our budget, provided great suggestions, and were happy to alter our appetizer order as the size of the reception grew. We found the price to be fair, it fit our budget perfectly, and the guarantee cost for liquor and food was reasonable. Staff the night of the reception were very friendly and quick to respond. Several of our guests commented on how surprised they were at the cost of drinks we did not host -- much less than they expected, which was nice to hear. Cons: -We did not receive a proper seating chart and table information until four days before the reception. This caused a bit of a hassle as we had to re-do seating charts based on a number we had been provided earlier in the summer. -At times, the management was difficult to reach and answers to relatively easy questions seemed to take longer. -We received a refund check and when attempting to deposit it, realized the club had not signed the check; thus the bank would not accept it. D'oh! We have yet to receive a response from management about sending a new check. Pros (finish on a positive note): -Fair and reasonable pricing. -Appetizers were excellent. -Easy to work with via email contact. -Staff assisted with tear-down at end of the night, leaving less for family members to take care of. -Great guidelines for decorations -- we were allowed to hang some hand-made decorations from the ceiling and set-up of the reception was a breeze. -Great space that didn't break the bank, way less than other reception sites we priced in the Waverly and Cedar Falls area!

For such a young park, the Disney/Universal-level theming, friendly staff, great food, and unbeatable value are incredible. It deserves WAY more crowds, like WTF!!

We had a great time visiting Lost Island!…read more Tickets were cheaper at the hotel we were staying at, so definitely something to look into. It wasn't busy at all (being a newer park) and it felt as though we almost had the place to ourselves. I assume that will change as more people find out about this gem, but we definitely enjoyed it. It was amazing to not have to wait in long lines. In most cases, there was no wait al all and sometimes our party were the only people on the ride. I thought staff was friendly and I appreciated the commitment to theme at the park. My favorite part oddly enough was how CLEAN the park was. I couldn't believe it! No trash, no random sticky messes, etc. The dining facilities we went in were air conditioned, clean, and spacious. Our food was decent. Typical park pricing I'd say. The only drawback for us was that the kid rides were frequently going down so we needed to come back to a handful a couple of times so our toddler could try them. I imagine they need to continue to work out some kinks. I was very pleased with this park and I'd like to return next year. Definitely a must stop!

We chose the package that had the pizzas. Their pizzas are made at their on site restaurant and are very good. The packages are available on their website.

Our pizzas were ready at the requested time and the kids had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend especially if you have a large sized group.

I'm focusing on the campground here- outer perimeter sites are nice - shady and private. Inner…read moreperimeter sites are laid out so there is very little separation - no privacy and no noise abatement. Our neighbors weren't loud in any way but because of the layout their conversations were entirely audible. The camp host was never seen so sites had as many as 5 cars parked on them etc. The park has beautiful walking and bike paths throughout and the bike paths are heavily used. Unfortunately many of the bikers leave the path and cut through the campground road going quite fast- faster than cars would drive through - as campgrounds tend to have small kids playing I would be concerned if those were my kids. The park itself had much to offer - the campground and rest rooms are well maintained. Sites have some gravel and are mostly level. I think during the week would be a better experience.
