From what I understand, they typically operate from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Given how hot it gets in the Central Valley, I honestly feel like they could extend their season a little longer! The park has plenty of space, including several shaded areas where you can set up lawn chairs and relax. Even if it were extremely busy, I think there would still be plenty of room to spread out. You can also bring your own food and grill, which makes it a great option for families or larger groups wanting to spend the day together. We decided to rent a cabana, and it was absolutely worth it! There were 12 of us, and we had plenty of room without feeling like we were stepping over each other. The cabana was completely shaded and came with a cooler. We brought our own drinks, and the staff filled the cooler with ice, which was a really nice touch. We were also able to order food directly from the cabana, and they delivered everything right to us. The food was good, and the convenience made the experience even better. Check-in was pretty straightforward. We signed the required waivers, paid, and got everything squared away. They also sell water shoes on-site, which I actually recommend purchasing there. The quality was good, the prices were reasonable, and it was convenient. The only strange part was how particular they were about sizing and trying them on, since once you tried them on, you couldn't return them. That policy was a little funky, but otherwise no issues. Another thing I appreciated was that life jackets were included with admission. They provided U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets, which gave me some peace of mind knowing we had proper safety equipment without needing to bring our own. Now for the actual water park! Be prepared because the water was EXTREMELY cold! You have to swim roughly 100-150 meters out to reach the first floating obstacle platform, and that initial swim was definitely a shock. But after driving all that way, there was no turning back! Once I got moving, made it onto the obstacles, and started having fun, the cold water really didn't bother me nearly as much. The floating obstacle course was an absolute blast! We spent about two hours climbing, jumping, swimming, and working our way through everything before heading back to the cabana for lunch. Honestly, two hours was plenty because we were completely exhausted afterward and didn't even bother going back out on the water! Overall, Splash-N-Dash Aqua Park was a fantastic experience. The cabana setup was great, the staff was helpful, the food was good, and the obstacle course was a ton of fun. Prices were reasonable, and it made for an awesome day trip with a larger group. Just be prepared for that cold water! Definitely recommend checking it out during the summer!

It was a little bit of a drive for us, but definitely worth it. We had a group of about 8 and rented a cabana, which I HIGHLY recommend. The cabanas are spacious, shaded, and made it so nice to have a place to relax between getting in the water. Check-in was easy, and they got everyone set up with wristbands, water shoes, life jackets, and a safety briefing pretty quickly. The Aqua Park was SO much fun, but that water is COLD! It definitely took some courage to get in, and the climbing/jumping is actually a serious workout. The kids absolutely loved it, and everyone in our group had a blast. We also ordered food while we were there, and honestly, no complaints! The food was really good, and having it delivered right to our cabana was such a nice convenience. There's also a kids' splash area, BBQ areas, RV camping, fishing, and dogs are allowed. The bathrooms are pretty basic, and there are porta-potties with handwashing stations near the Aqua Park. We went on the last weekend of the season, so it wasn't crowded, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a fabulous time and would definitely come back! Highly recommend for a fun family day or birthday!!

I love that this place exists…read more Nature is so magical. As other reviewers have pointed out - it is a bit of a steep climb down - so I'd recommend bringing some good shoes with traction - in addition to a towel. It's also become quite popular - so be prepared to meet some new people, some of whom may be wearing more than others - as they soak. It's always nice to see people from all over - sharing in nature's healing water. Trust.

My family and I spent a day at the waterpark and I had a blast! I would recommend going as soon as…read morethe park opens which is 11am or even like 30min before because the line does get long to park and as well as the line to get inside! Park closes at 6pm, extended summer hours is 7pm. We went on a Tuesday and Tuesdays are the days they offer their deals. It's buy one get one free basically for $49.99 which I think it's a fair price since individual tickets are from I believe $30-$40. Parking is $5 and if you want to park upfront it's $10. We waited in line for almost an hour to get inside so be mindful if you have a lot of things to carry. Bring a cooler with wheels and a wagon! If you also have a baby stroller that is also allowed inside. The only thing they won't allow you to bring inside is anything glass, alcohol or knives so please precut your fruits and sandwiches beforehand. They do check coolers and bags upfront. We bought Costco pizzas, made pasta salad, charcuterie boards and other knick knack snacks for the kids as well to give you guys ideas on what to bring! Most of the time everyone's gonna be out swimming and on rides and not paying attention on eating lol If you have kids, please take them I recommend and apply sunscreen at all times!

The traffic to go inside was busy and took some time to go in and to wait in line. Highly recommend to bring a wagon to carry all your things. I had 6 boxes of pizza to bring in so I'm glad I didn't have to carry it instead just wheel them in. The tubes is mainly for the lazy river because the wave pool it's not allowed. I didn't think it was worth getting tbh. Went on a few slides felt like a kid again. Me and my son enjoyed the wave until the "accidents" were happening in there so they had to clear the crowd a few times to I guess shock the pool. I hope there's plenty of chlorine to kill all the germs because I always think of water parks as a big toilet/bath house lol

While I was waiting to get clarification, I was approached by a security guard who told me to leave the parking lot. I was surprised by how unkind and unnecessarily harsh the interaction was--especially since I was clearly a mom with small children trying to understand the situation. I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. There's no sign posted at the park to say it's closed for several weeks, and it's clearly not posted online either. Just so everyone is aware, it is closed until July 12th for 2025. Churches are meant to be safe spaces, and this experience left a lasting impression I truly hope leadership addresses.

With…read morethe hot weather and a capacity of 90 we didn't want to take any chances of not getting in after a 30 minute drive from across town. I haven't been to this area In years and it looks about the same. Kind of run down as you enter the neighborhood and I probably wouldn't walk these streets alone at night but luckily I'd have no business being here except during a hot summer day at this little water park. We were the second group admitted and it costs $1 for whom ever wants to play. They have 2 slides and riders must meet height requirements. Our 3.5 year old was 42 inches so he got an orange wristband and could only ride the orange slide. The yellow slide had a height requirement of 45 or 46 I believe. Despite the height requirements, our son only went down the orange slide 2-3 times. The park was very crowded with people trying to stay cool. Our son cried when he got water in his face .. guess he won't enjoy water parks much till he realizes water in the face is part of the experience lol!! At one point he said "there's too many people here" and I couldn't have agreed more. There's a small grass area and a couple picnic tables with shade but other than That, not much seating or shade Not sure if we'd return but it was a well kept water park with decent bathrooms
