We received Summer Reading tickets from our library, so we decided we might as well try out NRH2O!…read moreThe check-in process is super easy and there are signs directing you where to go. They check your bags/cooler and scan your tickets, then let you go about your day. My friend and I split the cost of a shaded Splash Picnic spot just to make sure our older kiddos had a landing base to re-up on snacks and drinks. Our name was printed on the reserved spot making it officially ours! It is SUPER cool they allowed our own cooler with ice packs, although it would've been a tiny bit more amazing to sip on a girlie marg. I sent my friend on a scavenger hunt to see if they sell any type of alcohol of any kind and turned up empty, just as a heads up to others who may wonder too. While I mostly stayed in the toddler swimming hole and kiddie water slides, and shuffled over to try out the wave pool, my oldest told me about the Lazy River on the other side. She also told me about her "losing her soul" on the dropout slide ha! She had fun, but it took her breath away for sure. Bathrooms are air conditioned. Parking was ample, shade was more plentiful than Hawaiian Falls, and you can reserve seats online if you don't want to risk not having a spot. Overall, a fun family-friendly space to have a good time outdoors!

I wouldn't call myself a fan of water parks, but there's literally nothing else you can do outside…read morein the heat -- the only way to tolerate outdoor time is to be in the water! NRH2O isn't nearly as big as Hurricane Harbor, but I prefer it for several reasons. For one, there are quite a few trees and grassy areas all throughout the park, providing shade and cooler grounds and all around cooler, happier vibes. Plus, tickets and passes are more affordable, and perhaps most importantly (especially to anyone with special dietary needs): you're allowed to bring in your own food and drink. Of course there are limitations on ice chest size and you can't bring in glass containers or alcohol, but it's so nice to be able to pack your own snacks and drinks. Not in loose ice, though, that's another rule. Your ice has to be bagged up (we just use ice-packs). Employees check through your bags very thoroughly at the entrance. I haven't been on any of the bigger slides in years, I now stick to the kiddie-spaces or the lazy river. I was in the wave pool recently with my niece and didn't have as much fun as I remember having when I was younger, haha. The park overall is pretty clean and well-maintained. Nothing looks like it desperately needs refurbished or sanitized! There are I believe 3 different "restaurants" onsite and then a handful of drink and dessert stands. You can find aaaall of your theme park favorites: hot dogs, corn dogs, burgers, chicken tenders, fries, nachos, quesadillas, pizza, pretzels, cotton candy, chips, kettle corn, etc. There's also frozen lemonade, dippin' dots ice cream, and a churro food truck onsite! You'll have a great time at NRH2O if it's not ridiculously crowded and you're able to find yourself a little home-base with shade. You can reserve canopies and tables online, but they go fast!

No alcoholic beverages are allowed which is kinda nice because you don't have to deal with drunk ass people all day long like you do at the lake and river! Safety is big here! I really appreciate all the lifeguards. They really watch everyone super close! Fun place to go!

They added the big shoot-off slides, similar to the one at Waco surf, at $10 pp for unlimited slides, u pay inside the property. These slides open at 11:30-2pm only, so plan your visit strategically. They make frequent announcements on safety issues. Life guards here take their job very seriously, they will enforce safety regulations, which I like. Plenty of tables & chairs under shadowing trees. There are grills available around sitting areas as well. You can also bring extra chairs & canopies. Parking is regulated by circulating security guards, which keeps the cars well organized. Son & hubby loves the new big slides. They moved things along very well & made sure coordinated timing of riders at a time. We did miss the giant black floaties that they rented out for $2-3 per hour, $5 for 2 hours, which they didn't have anymore. It can get pricey for a big group/family at $20 pp, but it's worth the diving boards & trapeze for a summer treat!

So first of all, I love that there were no kids running around and it was a grown and sexy vibe, they had a DJ and they had different areas that were selling drinks and food I believe. So when I have seen commercials, I will admit that I thought that the lazy river was bigger and I thought there were more rides. The night I went, not all the rides were opened, I don't know if that's because it was a grown party or if they didn't have enough lifeguards. Regardless though, I had a great time, I hang out with my friends for about 2 hours. There was one point, where there was a big group between the wave runner and the lazy river that were having a dance party and doing line dances. I was able to get discounted tickets because we bought them early, so if I have the opportunity to do it again, I definitely would.

I don't think regular pricing reflects the experience, so we wait for deals and go in the off season, spring break in the summer is crazy packed unless you go right at open in a weekday, and even then lines get long before noon. I would never go on a weekend. It is also incredibly humid so bring tons of water, more than you would think. The rises are great, the staff is well trained and super sweet, and the side activities or entertainment they get occasionally is always a great addition. The crowding really does take away from the experience though.

My favorite slide was the big yellow Tsunami and of course, the Lazy River. The loungers are so relaxing and I got quite a tan :D We purchased our tickets on Groupon which were easy to redeem. Additionally, my family brought a small soft cooler with food and drinks, which they do check for glass so be prepared to open every bag up to show them! My group reserved the cabanas in the back, and our servers were amazing! Of course we had to take the frozen strawberry margaritas for a spin. The food all smelled great too. Parking was plentifully, just don't park on the grass! Apparently that is a problem, so there was a police out there enforcing it. A fun and relaxing day was had by all family members!
