Two stars. ONLY because we spend 4 out of 7 days here and the kids working here are amazing but the…read moreowner tonight crossed the line with my family and I tonight. We arrive and proceed to purchase 4 mini golf, $5 worth batting cage and wanted 5 of us to ride go karts. So good amount of money. As we were saying what we wanted to purchase for the go karts the owner steps in and says oh no your son can't ride. I proceeded to ask why he couldn't because we have been on before as he exceeds the height for the ride. NOWHERE DOES IT SAY YOU HAVE TO BE 3 YEARS OLD AND HIT THE HEIGHT. I proceeded to move on and just golf. As we were finishing our rounds I glance over at the go karts as my son was so upset he wanted to go. I see a father and his son WAY SMALLER AND LOOKED WAY YOUNGER than my kid getting into the go kart. So yes momma is pissed I proceed to walk back to the counter and ask the owner how is that child allowed to ride but mine cannot. He said what child. I then tell him where the child was and he said well I trust my employees. LOAD OF BULLSHIT!!! So if your child is not 3 but hits the height might as well just lie about their age because shit you won't fridge if he's there your child can hit height but still not ride. You sign a waiver saying it's your choice and your responsibility. I agreed to that and was fine my child is in my hands and my responsibility. But nope let someone else make that decision for you. So disappointing and overall disgusting how that other child was let on. I attached proof of my child riding before. Overall, good place for a family but be prepared for rules to change. Great prices hence why we spend 4/7 nights there at the cages. And bring our family here. And the kids working are amazing.

Went here a few weeks ago with my husband and our four year old son and had a blast!!!…read more We went on a weekend day not long after opening and lines were super short. We stayed for 1.5 hours. It was very clean, and we think that it could be a good option for a future bday party. Our son tried every single slide. The only slide that we did not like (us parents) was the one that you went straight down and then off into a pad. It immediately gave me a headache and felt like it messed up my back, neck, and chest.

This isn't a regular playground -- it's basically an indoor slide park with huge fast slides, obstacle courses and open space for kids to run energy OUT (parents too if you're brave lol). The place was really clean, staff actually paid attention and kept things moving, and I liked that they separate areas by size/ability so little kids aren't getting ran over. My kids were sweating within 10 minutes which is exactly what I wanted Good option for cold days, rainy days, or when you just need them tired before bedtime. Seating for parents, easy check-in, and overall organized. Definitely one of the better kid activity spots around Aurora -- we'll be back.

It's perfect for kids -- pony rides, train ride, paddle boats, playgrounds and little farm animals to see. My kids stayed busy the entire time and there's enough space that it never felt overcrowded or stressful. Super stroller friendly too which I appreciated. Everything was clean and the staff were patient and kind with the kids. It's a calmer vibe than big amusement parks so parents can actually relax while the kids play. Great for younger ages especially. Such a good spring/summer activity and worth the price for how long you can stay and how much they can do. We'll definitely keep this in our regular rotation

We visited on the 4th of July. I appreciate that it was open during the holiday…read more This was the perfect place for my 4 year old son. He could do every activity. We were there for 3 hours and could easily spend more time there if we wanted. Activities: Paddle boats Tractor ride Train ride Large play ground Carousel Pony rides Historical Museums Petting zoo It is $10 per person for non residents including adults. It wasn't that busy when we went so it made paying $30 less bad. The concession stand was reasonably priced and they had a decent amount of options. Hot dog, burger, chicken strips, nachos, slushies, popsicles, fries, etc. The food was pretty good. I would definitely come back!

I recommend grabbing a chair from the toddler section and placing it in the big pool so you can catch some sun while staying close to the kids. You should also plan to get here early as it gets crowded fast and the chairs are gone almost immediately. The only reason i can't give five stars is because the line to enter is very confusing. There are multiple entrance points but the labeling is very poor. We stood at the front of the line for 30 minutes before we found out we needed to be in a different line. When I got to my turn in line 2 I was told to go to a third line. Very frustrating.

We spent 2 hours here and got to try every ride and have lunch. It's small so 2 hours was perfect. Our 4 year old rode the carousel, flying pirate ship, train, Giant slide, water boats and rock climbing wall (with harnesses). There is a big play lot that is really fun too. Concession options were good - pizza, chicken tenders, corn dog, hot dog, fries, ice cream. No juice boxes. Clean bathrooms and water fountain. Lots of tables in the shade to eat. The ride operators were extra special nice to the kids. One stopped to help our kid with her shoe at the top of the slide and one put towels on the seat of the ride so it wasn't too hot from the sun. We left happy!

This is great a place for young children…read more You only have to pay for the child. $15 for non residents. There's only two rides parents can join on - the train and the burlap sack slide. The other rides the child does by themselves. My 3 year old son had a blast! A young 3 years old was the perfect age and we will definitely take him back next year. This would be a great place for birthday parties too.

We tried the batting cages, you need wipes to clean hands after the money changer and touching the gates, but you are alone in the cage...obviously. We also used the driving rage, again, plenty of social distancing since the mats are about ten feet apart. They do have equipment to borrow, for free and with a used discard bin, but it's just easiest to bring your own stuff. The other things open are mini golf and go karts. We did not do those, but will probably be back since the outdoor options still aren't all open. The reason for the knock off star are the prices. This is an old facility with very modern prices. The two don't match. Also, Dairy Ripple is next door, so make it an afternoon trip out to Sycamore!

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. Fairly clean bathrooms and many of them. Cabanas are pricey but for a larger group they have great locations and sizes. The wave pool is small but strong. The best ride was the Mat Dash! We bought season passes after a successful visit. They only allow clear or mesh bags!!
