Very nice park, very nice location & seems safe. It next to the rascal bike path. The Grass is green one of the best grass and nice trees. Plenty of parking, accommodations for gatherings. Restrooms need help, nice trail around it. read more

I am fond of this place, for sure. It harkens back to my childhood. I just wish it was better kept in the creek area. There is way too much pollution in there. I will say that all the play stuff is new and better kept. It was more aesthetically pleasing in my youth because the play area was made of wood- that I miss. My temptation is to grab some trash bags and go down there - please beat me to it. read more

The trees and such aren't babies so you do get shade in other spots. It's a nice place for my kids to get off the bus at. I wish cell coverage was better in this area but it's not the parks fault :-P Waiting for my kids in a shady area is awesome. Cons: Ants and roaches everywhere by the tables. Please spray there a bit more if possible city of Merced. The water fountain is a minus in my book. Overall: Great park - much better than some "other" parks in Merced.

This park is right next to Golden High School and near by San Miguel Rancheria Market. The park is very huge and there is something for everyone, big grassy areas to kids play grounds and bath rooms. I saw a lot of people going for walks and walking their dogs. There was a few teenagers roaming around as they were on the lunch but mainly it was empty. There are a lot of garbage cans so you need to go out your way to litter. If I am in the area I will definitely return. I felt safe, very pretty and peaceful. A great way to get some fresh air, take the kids and BBQ.

We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

Came here once for my nephews birthday and haven't been back since, so it's been a while and I kind of forgot this place exists. You can get your tickets online, I happen to check at the right time because their prices and affordable on every first Saturdays of the month! The lady working was super friendly and helpful, she even told me they do music classes and that the kids are more than welcome to join. Around 11am they have a person doing a science presentation but unfortunately she was running late on her project and I overheard her being kind of rude and not in a good mood so we decided to move on to the next room. They were also selling boba and eggrolls outside, sorry I forget the name of the seller that had their booth there. The kids enjoyed the front area where they can dress up, draw and play with toys. There was also someone selling their 3D printed animals, which the kids loved so I caved and bought them all one plus help support small businesses. Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to enjoy.

We only stayed one night, but we really made the most of it. We enjoyed the water park for two full days and spent at least 2.5 hours there each time. My son especially loved our Wolf Den room and got such a kick out of the bunk bed. It made the stay feel extra special for him. We also did Build-A-Bear, played arcade games, joined the free arts and crafts, and enjoyed story time and the dance party. The property is so well organized, and they really seem to have thought of everything when it comes to entertaining kids. Breakfast was honestly the highlight of our morning. They had everything you can think of and more, and it was delicious. We paid for it as part of our package, and I believe it was around $35 for two people, which felt like a steal for the amount and variety of food. I know some reviews mention cleanliness issues, but that was not our experience. Our room was very clean, and we had no problems. The water park was busy, but not overwhelming. I think the best time to enjoy it is around 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., before the next wave of guests starts arriving. The only thing I would note is that the restaurant is overpriced, but that is probably expected for a popular resort like this. My biggest tip is to go on a weekday if possible. We checked in Tuesday and checked out Wednesday and got an amazing rate of $139, which felt like a steal. Overall, Great Wolf Lodge is high-energy but so much fun. If your child enjoys water play, themed rooms, and kid-friendly activities, it is definitely a must-visit at least once. I would absolutely take my son back, maybe once a year or after several months, so it still feels special.

It was so refreshing, and you can dive, and there's plenty of room to spread out even when it's crowded. Really, my only hesitancy about visiting here is that it's pretty rugged on any vehicle used to drive here. Twists, turns, tight stretches of road. I had just had my brakes replaced literally before this trip and am thankful for that. I would almost want to rent a car to avoid putting wear and tear on my personal vehicles. BUT, this is a must visit and should be bookmarked!

He was going to call the sheriff and had me physically removed. I said I was driving through and stopped to take a photo. He said that was illegal and he was gonna write me up with the ticket. He wrote down my license plate number and told me he was banning me from ever coming back to this place very disrespectful and rude.
