We spent just one day in this park and that was enough. I brought my sons and a few of their…read morefriends for their Senior Trip to experience Cedar Point and we decided to break up our two park days with a day at Shores. The life guards were very attentive. We got the upgraded Deluxe Cabana and it turned out to be a great idea when an impromptu rainstorm rolled in. It included some really nice, embroidered towels as souvenirs. The food choices were sparse and exorbitantly expensive, just like inside Cedar Point, but getting the food pass at Shores would limit you mostly to pizza, Cuban sandwich, and a taco. Several of the slides were out of commission which is really the reason for the 3/5 score here.

So, if you either live close by or you have purchases a season pass for the year, this is a great place to come and cool off for the summer. I could see living nearby and buying a pass every year if I had small kids or a group of friends to hang out with, especially when the season pass is $99. Then coming here even twice would pay for itself. Since for the first time ever, we have a season pass, I would like to come back and relax at least one more time. But, if you are just coming here for the day without a season pass, it is not worth it at all. Everything is very old and not well taken care of. Everything is also covered in bird poop, and I literally mean everything. You could have thought they would have cleaned up for opening day, but nope! And you would have thought the rain would have gotten the poop off of literally every surface, but nope. This is a tiny place for the money compared to other waterparks that ask for similar entry fees. The prices for the food is high and when you ask the workers questions they do not even know the answers. I asked where the changing room was to get in and out of bathing suits, they did not know. Plus the lockers are not even near the changing rooms at all. Not very convenient to a point where a worker agreed it was not set up in a customer friendly manner. A lot of the rides were breaking or not open. The lazy river was slimy and very dirty. The entire place was a bit dirty, and again, it was opening day. f Plus there were a million bugs. I think I ate 15 just trying to climb up a slide with my poop covered tube. Then I flipped at the bottom of a slide and went under, and the lifeguard just watched me. I have been to many other places nearby. If you have the money, I would recommend just going to Kalahari if you want a waterpark. I liked Great Wolf and even Castaway Bay better. If you have a lot of money, I would recommend Volcano Bay or the Disney World Orlando waterparks over this one.

Honestly, it's just as fun for the adults (if not more fun!) because of the awesome atmosphere, friendly owners, and swim-up bar! The water slides are huge, the splash playground/little kid area is so much fun, and there's also a small lazy river. This place is fun for anyone from a baby to a grandparent. I would highly recommend! Skip Castaway Bay and Cedar Point and come here sometime instead. It's an epic place.

I feel like once you go on water rides at other parks, this one is no longer a big deal. I hear it will be closing soon. Not sure if this is true or if they will replace it with another water ride.

(They warn you in the station you'll get completely soaked in case you're daft enough not to notice this with your two eyes.) Snake River Falls is short and sweet and just what the doctor ordered on a blazing hot summer day. It's kind of hard to screw up a log flume ride, unless of course you're Intamin. (Oooo, too soon?) There's also an observation bridge where you can just about as wet as if you actually rode the ride. And if you wanna air dry off a bit Skyhawk is a few steps away. Or you can spend $5 to stand in an air drying booth to undo what you just did. A curious waste of money to me unless you feel a strong hankering to ride Snake River Falls on a day that's just not hot enough to ride Snake River Falls. Well, that wraps up my Cedar Point series. Hopefully, that wasn't my last trip to the Point and at some point I will be back on Yelp reviewing future thrills as yet unseen.

He also had a very nice gift for my daughter. We had VIP service, and Corey found out we were in town for a funeral, had a very nice gift for my daughter to make the trip a little easier for her. Room was immaculate. No complaints there. I mean, just immaculate. All the VIP service this time was phenomenal. Definite upgrade from when we were here in May '25. Seemed to have got their feet under them, and exceptional VIP service. Dealt with Aaron on valet a lot. He was phenomenal. Customer service, showed me around the VIP lounge after hours, just grade-A representative of the company. But by far the best interactions we had were with Darius Watson, the bellman/valet. Not really sure what his position was, but best customer service that Kalahari has ever had has come from Darius Watson. Otherwise, absolutely fantastic trip. Everything was grade-A perfect.

Loved Kalahari but…read more. Started off getting there a few issues with check in but we made it in, we went in and did the water park. Everywhere outside near the slides (the blue, green, red and yellow, and the body slides) had wasps that were there 1 year ago. The whole line was scared of them Then we went to the B-lux I got me a chocolate shake and it was amazing, super filling and good We went to sleep. The beds were eh not the most comfortable but fine The next morning we went to the breakfast place. Horrible we thought we got food poisoning so the next morning we went to McDonald's instead Then we did the park till 6 it was wonderful however some of the slides, walking up them felt sketchy it wasn't only me it was the people next to me in line some slides were extremely dirty especially the ones above the lazy river Some slides were leaking water into the lazy river We went to the Italian restaurant and it was wonderful the service was amazing and the food was amazing We went to sleep and packed the next day. The carts are small but 2 worked Some other things The slides get dark, a lot of them, especially the rhino one and Victoria falls more lights would be amazing The water slides should be cleaner especially the ones near the flow rider A lot of the slides were down There was gray and dirty water coming out some slides The bed headrest broke and nobody fixed it The curtains don't shut fully Ai art at the arcade

My feelings are really mixed here. The good: The staff were…read morevery friendly. The kiosk check in process was a breeze, and I LOVE that water park wristbands double as room keys because it's one less thing to worry about losing. The onsite Dunkin offered good food at reasonable prices. The drinks were really good and felt like they justified their price because they were huge. The hotel rooms were very nice. The arcade was nice, and provided a good variety of games. The bad: Paying for parking is a huge turn-off. It's $20 per day just to park in an ordinary parking lot, which seems like an excessive charge that the resort knows it can get away with because people have to park. Strategies like that feel like they're trying to squeeze every nickel and dime out of patrons. The water park, itself, isn't great. There's two nice-sized tube slides and some very short body slides. The lazy river is also very short and filled with empty tubes in a way that feels claustrophobic. The hot tubs are nice. But it just doesn't feel like there's anything particularly exciting to do. Once you've been down the slides a few times and checked out the hot tubs, that's mostly it unless you're a little kid (there's a few activities that are geared for young kids). Overall: If you want a good resort experience, you can get it here. If you want a good water park experience, you've got much better options nearby.

My best advise is not to wait. The place was very clean and plenty of lifeguards for everyone's water safety.

Kids loved the wave pool the best and the water slides the least. Lazy River was good too.

Pretty good experience besides the concession stand "Snack Shack." That was abysmal. There was a…read morerush, and it seemed the staff was not ready for it whatsoever. It appeared as though they still had to thaw/warm up their ingredients? A customer asked for a hot dog and was told the buns had to thaw. The customer said "Okay, just give me the hot dog without the bun then." For no table inside, the wait time is also horrifying. I waited for around 30 minutes for essentially expensive cold food. I ordered bosco sticks but the cheese wasn't even melted. 2 sad blocks of cheese for $5. I think the shack would benefit from keeping orders away from the customers. It is a pain watching somebody stare at all the orders in front of them and then to not see food until 10 minutes after. I almost began to wonder if my order was on the counter at all after waiting so long, maybe they accidentally threw it away...? Luckily I received my food, of course. I do feel bad for the staff. Numerous customers leaned against the counter and kept giving their two cents. I was frustrated too, but it's ill-mannered to take it out on the staff. Besides the concession stand, which is the smallest part of the part, respecting most people go to pools to swim rather than eat, the rest of the waterpark is lovely!

The friend we were meeting is a local so she was able to get a reservation for the 11am-1pm time slot, which is apparently reserved for locals. It wasn't too crowded and was the perfect activity for a very hot summer day. My 6 year old was a bit fearful of the giant bucket of water that pours on your head at first, although by the end of the 2 hours he was standing under it welcoming it. My 9 year old and his friend jumped right in and couldn't get enough of all the slides and water fun. They were probably some of the older kids there, but still young enough to enjoy the fun. There's also a more babyish area to the side for younger kids who aren't into the slides and giant bucket. They also get 5 stars for cleanliness, including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I had to show out my coffee when we arrived since no food or drink is allowed inside the gate, but that's probably how they manage to keep it so clean.
