    This is a must-do activity for my 10 year old grandson. With some guidance from the staff he improves every time, The staff is great with kids.

    getting ready on the dock for my wakeboarding session! Super safe setup  the operator gives you clear instructions and you good to go

    If you're looking for something different to do on a sunny South Florida day, Ski Rixen USA at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach is a must-visit. I used to wakeboard behind a boat and thought this would feel the same but it's a whole new experience. Ski Rixen is a cable park, which means it runs at a consistent speed and includes ramps and obstacles for tricks. Whether you're an experienced rider or it's your very first time, they've got all the right gear and instructors to get you comfortable on the water. The place itself is super well managed by the owners and staff. Everyone is attentive and makes sure you're having the best possible experience. The park is clean, there's tons of parking, and they really think of everything. If you forget to pack food (like I did), no worries their Beach House has you covered with burgers, cheese fries, hot dogs, nuggets, slushies, soda, snacks, and more. What I also love is that it's family-friendly. If your parents or friends don't feel like wakeboarding, there are plenty of shaded seating areas to watch riders cruise or throw tricks. And yes there's even a bar, so adults can enjoy a cold beer while soaking in the Florida sun. The vibe here is amazing: great music, good energy, and every time you ride, you learn something new. It's the perfect plan for locals and visitors alike, and I can't recommend it enough.

    My children have done 4 lessons. They really enjoyed it. The staff is very patient and encouraging with the kids. I would definitely recommend it.

    Wake boarding! Not as easy as it looks, but worth the bruises.

    It's hard to get up but once you get up the ride is awesome! Be prepared to fall on your face at high speeds but shake it off and keep trying. Came here on Sunday morning the wait wasn't to long to ride ( plus the waiting in line gives you a nice little break to catch your breath). Wake boarding is the hardest thing to do here so if you are super new at this maybe start with the double skis or knee boarding, they let you switch either way if you wana go harder or easier. Go!!!

    Gorgeous day!

    Such a fun place to go!! My son is only a toddler so he is too young to knee board or water ski, but he loves to watch! I love that they have a little sand area with chairs for those who want to watch AND they have plenty of picnic tables too! I tried water skiing here a few years ago, and it was a blast! This was my first time back since then, and although I didn't ski this time, I enjoyed watching the kids! A plus?! They offer a summer camp! What kid wouldn't want to do this all summer long?! If you have a group of friends and you are looking for something fun and different to do, I def would come here! Make sure not to wipe out! ;)

    Kids wakeboarding for the first time.

First off parking is free and you can purchase ti keys before or at the park-same price whatever you choose. Come in costume cause everyone is dressed up. Every weekend is a different theme so check their website out. There was so much to see and do and eat and just be present for. We saw it all amd tried to drink as mu h as we could too..lol Bring cash as most vendors its there preference. Aside from the glorious fest that you can catch the whole month and comes once a year; The park is huge with water sports, biking, walks, relaxing,picnics and more. Excellent place to spend a beautiful day

The campground is perfect for a weekend getaway for camp lovers, family adventures and camping beginners. The campground doesnt require you to bring a tent as the tent is already provided. The tents come with electricity, water spigots, and even Wi-Fi, which made the stay super convenient. You will have to bring your everyday necessities (I.e blow up bed, flashlights, clothes, games, coolers, food/drinks, bug replient, etc) My friends and I played games, listened to music, karaoke and just bonded. We had an amazing time grilling, roasting marshmallows, and walking the beautiful trails. It was the perfect mix of outdoor fun and modern amenities. Quiet Waters Park also has other attractions such as a water park, bike trails, fishing, basketball court, and water skiing to name a few. The bathrooms are shared and aren't always cleaned. You will see creepy crawlers. Bring bug spray! We took time to unplug, unwind and enjoy the scenery. It really was a nice weekend reset and we enjoyed every minute even the RACOONS trying to steal our food

I came with my two kids (3 and 6), my parents, my brother and his family (1 and 6) and my high school friends and their kids (9 and 12) and EVERYONE had a blast! The key was to get there early so you could enjoy all the attractions without the lines that form as the day goes on. We found loungers right away, grabbed tubes and hit the lazy river, and after a few relaxing laps, we headed for the splash pad. My 3 year old didn't leave there for the rest of the day. He was completely enthralled with all of the splash features, water slides, and fun that surrounded him. The water was just deep enough that he could float around on his stomach but not deep enough to ever be too worried. The older kids and myself hit the big slides, which were a blast. For a small waterpark, these were solid. The design kept you on your toes and they picked up enough speed to give you a little rush. They have an onsite cafe but they also allow you to bring in your own cooler, which is amazing! We packed a picnic and had a great lunch as a group. The one pro-tip I have is to book a FUNBRELLA! We thought about it too late, but these shaded pavilions are perfect for groups and reasonably priced so you don't even need a special occasion to get one. Sure I remembered it being much bigger, but Paradise Cove delivered!

    I've loved coming to Rapids for as long as I can remember, and even as an adult, I still have so…read moremuch fun riding the slides! Overall, it's a fun water park, but there are definitely a few things to keep in mind before you go. The day of the week makes a HUGE difference. I've had the best experiences going during the week on a school day because you can actually ride everything without waiting in ridiculously long lines. On one visit, one of the lines took forever because the machine that brings the floats back up broke down and someone had to come fix it. One thing that really disappointed me was the music. Since Rapids is supposed to be a family/kid-oriented water park, I was surprised by how ratchet and inappropriate some of the DJ's music was. Even as an adult, I found it distasteful and really not appropriate for a place where there are so many children. The park could also be cleaner. The bathrooms in particular were pretty disgusting and didn't seem well maintained. The food is definitely overpriced, but that's expected at an amusement park. You also can't bring your own food into the park, so you're pretty much stuck purchasing food there. That being said, I actually thought the food was pretty good for what it is! I do think Rapids is really cute for kids, especially with all of the themed children's areas and slides. I still have fun every time I go, but I think it's important to set your expectations. Go on a weekday if you can, expect long lines on busy days, and be prepared for some cleanliness and music issues. Overall, it's still a fun day out, but there are definitely some things I think the park could improve.

There's no express lines, one line for everyone If rapids management decided to limit there ticket sales to a correct amount of tickets everyone could get on all the slides, enjoy the lazy river and not miss out on anything Unfortunately you will miss out on slides because the lines are too long. Even if you get there at opening time Trust me we did it, it's impossible. Unless maybe you go on a weekday
