One of the best water parks I've been to, and I've been to quite a few. I read some of the reviews on the way there and thought it'd be a let down due to the amount of negatives. However we went today (Wednesday, late June) and the most we waited for a ride was 10 minutes. The longest wait was for bootlegger, and the wait was worth it. It is a little pricey getting in, though the admission isn't too high, you still pay $15+ for parking and if you buy a locker that's another $15+. We did not bring towels or valuables besides our phones/money/keys so we didn't need a locker, we had a waterproof holder necklace. Going in, we saw that the season pass is a great deal if you live nearby and want to come often during the summer. It's like $15-20 more than the general one day admission per person. Great deal. It wasn't that busy at all. It looked busy but most of the rides had little to no line. We didn't have h2go either. The wave pool and lazy river had only a handful of people in them which was nice. I liked that there were cubbies to put flip flops/towels in before you go on a slide. The bathroom I went into was nice and clean as well. Although we didn't get food, there seemed to be lots of variety and the prices weren't too terribly overpriced... ever been to a movie theater? Way worse. I liked seeing plenty of lifeguards at each ride. Most were pretty young looking but they were all friendly and helpful. read more

DO NOT GO TO SPLISH SPLASH they do NOT honor there word. I was stung by a wasp on site last summer and I am allergic so we had to leave after visiting the infirmary. We were only at the park for 15 min before this occurred.They were lovely assured us we could come back the following summer. I came with original order number and my kids who were so excited to go! We were not allowed in! They could not find any documentation attached to the original order number. Park closes at 6 get here at 2:30 after trying to resolve the issue for over 30 min they want me to pay 71 dollars per person to get in! I think it is all outrageous.... Just saying, oh and the staff was being smug and unprofessional to say the least. They treated us like criminals. Splish Splash read more

Thank you splish splash for hosting NSASA and opening the park early for families with autistic children. We all had a wonderful time and it was great experience for our children and their siblings! We are all extremely appreciative! read more

I haven't been to this place since a class trip back in the day! A few of us adults decided it would be a fun day out-unfortunately the August weather decided to start the day as if it were October but luckily it got better as the day went on. This place is pretty expensive if you're trying to come as a family. We all got a Groupon & it was still $39...what on earth is the regular price?! Then $15 to park AND $18 for a locker...umm is that a joke?! (No it's not, we paid cuz what other choice did we have). Since it was a Tuesday and not extremely hot the place wasn't packed so the lines weren't terrible for most rides. Every thing we went on was a lot of fun but most of the stair cases to get to the top were EXTREMELY sketchy! There were so many cracks on them it was scarier walking up and waiting on them than any of the rides actually were! Maybe they could use some of those lockers fees towards renovations? Also the roller coaster ride jammed twice while we were on line so we got off cuz that seemed a bit risky. Then on to lunch, now don't be expecting fine dining at a water park but for $32 for 2 small drinks, 2 popcorn chickens and 2 fries with bacon and cheese you'd expect it to at least be mediocre...ehh not worth the $32...plus they had garlic fries listed on the menu which we both wanted originally but they ran out of garlic...umm you're located in farm country, seems like an unlikely thing to run out of but whatever. Overall it's extraordinarily expensive to come so it won't be a regular thing but still a good time had by all. Also, the staff isn't very friendly or personable at all...it's a very kid friendly place sooo that should definitely be part of the job requirements and most of the attendees manning the rides are not paying attention to who's going down and whether or not the people ahead of you are out. read more

Splish Splash - Water Parks Near Me - Calverton, New York

I've lived on Long Island for 10 years and based on word of mouth, I avoided Splish Splash like the plague the last decade. However, we were spending some time out on the North Fork and decided that we'd give it a shot for the sake of the kids, but only if we went midweek and got there right when the park opened. One thing that always puts a bad taste in my mouth is having to pay for parking at a location so that you have the privilege to pay yet again to enter the property. So they get you twice. How else am I going to get there, by walking? The way around is this ludicrous fee is to pack as many people as you can in the car and then be the last ones laughing, anyhow, enough of the parking. Just get there early, pay the fee, and suck it up. Given that I was expecting the worst, I was very impressed with the first impression of this water park, from an aesthetic stand point. My smile quickly turned into a frown however, when I looked into a renting a locker. For a decent sized locker, you're dropping $18+ bucks. Once again, the feeling of getting nickle & dimed overcomes me. My wife decides that she'll just carry our bag instead of getting a locker. No big deal. Food. Overpriced. Johnny Rockets is where we went for the food. Wasn't disappointed or disappointed. Kids enjoyed it. Rides - this is where this place shines. The water slides & water rides are top notch. Going early enough in the day midweek affords the chance to ride as many of the water rides as possible. The thrill of these rides quickly made me forget about the parking fees, the locker fees, etc. I could see myself coming back here, but once again, midweek, and right when it opens. Not interested in battling huge weekend crowds. Kids loved it...and I loved the slides. We'll be back. read more

This is a fun water park! You have to plan ahead..you have to get there when it first opens...10AM on most days....we arrived at 9:45 AM...they let you through the main entrance....then you wait until 10AM and the flood gates open... We went on Saturday...this past weekend in August. Everyone floods the lines on the front entrance rides....here's my thing, go to the back and work your way up front....you will be ahead of the crowd...The rides are great, you can expect to go on each attraction once and then if you want to go on again..expect to wait on longer lines as the day progresses......The food is great... Enjoy yourself! read more

Do Not Get A Cabana! We decided to splurge and get a cabana for the first time- about $200- thought it would be worth it for a small group- Boy, were we wrong!! There is 1 waiter for about 17 cabanas, no bus person, and since no outside food or drink is allowed in we were a VERY thirsty and starved group of adults and children. Literally we waited HOURS for any sort of drink/ food. Totally unacceptable. We can NOT recommend getting a cabana, and management should be ashamed of themselves!!!! read more

This is the most ghetto and horrible place I've ever been to. There were people skipping lines, 2 fights that I saw (more that I heard of). People were smoking weed in the parking lot. The workers do not monitor anything. They do not work quickly in the food stands. It was horrible. Never again. read more

I want to start that I have been a season pass holder for several years. Our experience today was awful. We rented a cabana and prepaid for the premium h2o passes. I waited in line for an hour and forty five minutes to pick up the speed pass. We went to our dirty cabana there was no one to be found. We were there for over two hours. Not one single attendant came by or even gave us a menu. After finding someone they said they would bring a menu. No one came. Eventually, I finally found someone to bring a menu and was informed it would be 1 and 1/2 hours until we could get food. We decided to leave. Trying to return our h2o bands I was informed I would have to wait on the line again. If you want to throw away money and time this is the place for you. read more

I read some reviews previous to my visit . Some were very negative so I started wondering if this visit to the water park was a good idea . I took the advice of getting there early , we found parking close to the entrance . I had sooo much fun ! Loved the rides , yes some long lines but only after 1pm , I loved the wave pool , I loved the lazy river less . I brought my children , they enjoyed it so much . Also the food was not expensive and quite good , the churros mmmm! The dipping dots icees were phenomenal . We stayed the whole day . The staff like everywhere , most were super nice and some kind of rude . Xavier was handsome and polite don't tell my husband . I recommend this park as great for the whole family . read more

So much fun! ...if you can get on the slides. Went on a Friday hoping that enough people would be at work and kids would be at camps. Jokes on me, the camps bring the kids here too! I would recommend coming Monday-Thursday like other people have mentioned. Wait times were anywhere between 45 minutes to over an hour long. We were there from 10 am to 6 pm and got on maybe 6 - 7 slides. We had to leave before closing because being in the sun all day is exhausting. Splish Splash, like most other water parks, hires a lot of local kids. They're all very nice and pretty enthusiastic to be there, it makes for a good experience. I would love to give it higher ratings but for the amount that we paid for everything, we really didn't feel like we got our money's worth. Got discounted entrance fee tickets, but the money we saved on our Groupon went right to parking passes ($15) and locker fees ($18). If Splish Splash wanted to improve the experience, they could sell a set number of tickets everyday to prevent overcrowding. But they probably really only care about their bottom line. read more

Haven't been here in a couple years, and this will be the last time that I go. This wasn't a cheap day too, 3 people with the H2Go passes for each. The point is if I'm going to paying a good amount of money to bring my family to somewhere, I would hope that the place would be ran better. Heard from a worker that there was a total of 6 fights including one that my girl saw in the bathroom of two animals fighting over a bathroom stall. Then the overcrowding at most of the top of slides, the workers are definitely stressed not being able to control the crowding. No security in the parking lot with crowds smoking pot and drinking more than they should be before driving home. Many people cutting lines and the lack of respect from many people in the park. Splish Splash this will be the last time I give you my money for a long time. read more

The most fun water park in New York, this is my third time to go. I bought a special ticket for Tuesday, the original price 42 on Tuesday to 36 per person. People don't much I basically every project to play 2 times.In fact, I want to give 5 stars, but in order to stop for lunch I have waited for 1 hours. The reason is that he (I didn't remember his name) because I know they are working students is not easy?He had to wait until the food was all ready to receive the next bit if the food did not do well, he was there and other people chat or trance, so many people in the outside, etc., I just hope that when you come out to work, you really do. read more

Splish Splash - Water Parks Near Me - Calverton, New York

I am not the review everything guy but this one needs it. Splish splash used to be really nice but this visit will be my last. There was blatant gang activity in the park, people smoking weed on line right next to my kids, you are arguing with people on every line who are trying to cut ahead and this is all a direct result of a willfully under staffed park. There is no order and you will feel unsafe here. We were blown off by guest services, filled out their useless complaint card and I'm sure that found it's way to the garbage can as soon as I walked out. read more

First and last time going to Splish Splash. First long line or short line, the lines go nowhere. For whatever reason rides are shut down for a few minutes. Another big problem are parents taking 15 minutes trying to convince their crying traumatized children to do something they do not want to do. Very few park rules seem to be enforced, the lazy river advertised as a relaxing experience was overflowing with most people more interested in playing bumper boats. There was only one wave pool open and it was over crowded missing the most important part of a wave pool, waves. Zero communication about broken rides leading to long waits on wet crowded stairs that become hazardous when people get tired of waiting & walk downstairs against the flow of the line. Overall a very awful and disorganized experience that makes local church carnivals feel like a Disney experience. I should have gone to the aquarium. read more

I love amusement/water parks, so I was very excited to try out Splish Splash. As a first timer, I didn't know what to expect. Overall, my group had a fun day, but there were a few things I wanted to mention. 1. I waited in line for food for over 45 minutes. The line wasn't even that long- maybe 10 people in front of me. The employees taking orders took their sweet time with everything they did. When I was at the window, I could see pre-prepared food on the table in the kitchen. Luckily, the staff were very pleasant (although slow) and the food was surprisingly good, but I was so annoyed that I had waited 45 minutes for 4 chicken fingers and fries. 2. There were so many poorly behaved summer camp kids there. I know that is not the staff's fault, but I believe I would have had a much better time had I not be surrounded by groups and groups of 10 year olds running around and weaving between people. I know it's a park for families and kids, but that doesn't mean they should be running on slippery surfaces, trying to cut lines or being disrespectful to other guests or staff. My group went down the lazy river, which is supposed to be relaxing. Instead, I was surrounded by many kids splashing each other, bumping tubes, and racing while running within the tube (not to mention a woman WALKING down the lazy river texting and taking photos with an unprotected phone).There were also just too many people in a small space. That is not what I was expecting at all, and I would not go on that ride again for those reasons. 3. My group and I got the H2GO pass, and honestly that was the best decision we made. At first we were hesitant since they were $35 each and then a $20 refundable deposit each ON TOP of the steep park entrance price. However, we are very glad we got them, and I definitely recommend purchasing them. We were able to snack or use the bathroom during our wait times. We rode another ride while waiting in line for a different ride. I wish that the reservation kiosks would tell you how many people each ride is for. I had three people in my group, and a couple rides were for two people at a time, but we didn't know that until the three of us arrived for our reservation. 4. The entire staff seemed to be very young. They were all nice, it was just a little odd following directions from someone who looked 12. That being said, the lifeguards were absolutely phenomenal. I did not see one of them on a phone or ever take their eyes off the pool or their watch spot. Although I can swim, I felt extremely safe knowing that the lifeguards were so focused on their job. read more

The worse day ever. Long lines on a Monday. Shortage on lifeguards. Surf city was closed because no lifeguards. Lots of security cause fights and arguments were brewing. Lost my kids and I was told it has to be an emergency to make an announcement over speakers. Even after I pay extra to not wait online we still had to wait for an hour on the line and one of the rides was not working properly. The worst day ever and I will not return again. Wish I can get my money back. read more

was not happy. came for my daughter's birthday we rented a cabana by surf cit. not happy. when we would walk away people would go right into our cabana so disrespectful. It should not be that way espically at the prices you pay to get a cabana. Plus the prices are crazy expensive for everything. for food. Not ok. maybe it was the cabana we picked but not right we pay for it. it should be ours. not someone who did not pay. I would never recommend anyone rent one there not watched. not worth the money. read more

HUGE HUGE HUGE THUMBS DOWN TO Splish Splash! My son went yesterday on a trip and got hurt on the barrier reef slide. He needed 7 stitches and now has to see a plastic surgeon to ensure no permanent scarring. I call today to ask for incident report and request to see the slide where he got hurt. I was told I have to pay $15 for parking and full price for admission. I would not be allowed into the park without paying. I was told too bad and this is our policy. Mind you yesterday when I picked him up they sent him out with no shirt / shoes and said take him to hospital ASAP. When I asked for report I was told it wasn't completed. How does a park operate like this?? read more

I love this place. I am a 40 year old woman and I love water slides. I only go on weekdays and if it's less than 85 degrees out. The lines stay shorter. We had a wasp bite in our group and they brought the first aid to us. I'm sure there are better ones. I'm sure some people don't like all the rules. And I'll admit the food takes way too long but it's expensive so I just stopped eating there, but that's not why I'm there. It's to have a thrill and not have to think about mundane life for a day. read more

All they care about is your money. Kids working at the front ticket booth don't care about the customer, even the management does not care about the customer and they don't even try to hide it. It's really unbelievable. I never had an experience like it. They charge an extra $10 if you get your ticket at the park verses online. I've never seen such a "I could care less about you" attitude. read more

On 8/04/19 was my second time going to Splish Splash. The first time was amazing this time terrible!!! My husband had a family emergency, as we walked in we had to go to customer service because we had to leave we went to customer service they took his email. We've called 4 times already about reimbursement tickets and we've been given a run around and when I called yesterday they told me they are called closed for the season and there is no guarantee that we can get our tickets reimbursed. I dont want money back but I wanted to enjoy the park especially since we drove 25 miles to get there. Now we've lost the funds and the park is closed until 2020!! wow great read more

I must agree with the previous review that there were WAY too many people in this itty bitty park at one time. You couldn't even walk. Each ride had a line out to the walkway that took LITERALLY 3 hours!!!! We only got on 2 rides before the park was closed because each line was 3 hours long and the line for food took an HOUR. I am not exaggerating. I wish I was. (Funny that all the negative reviews are filtered out under "reviews not currently recommended.") The 2 rides I got on we're Dinosaur falls which was a mild but fun tube ride and Bootleggers Run which had one good drop.... But that was it. It was a complete waste of energy. I'm going home (as I type) exhausted from STANDING with an achy back and feet. Please notice that any reviewer who had anything decent to say had an H2Go Pass.... Now go see how much money they spent. Too small of a park with not enough thrills for that kind of money to enjoy a park the way you're SUPPOSED to. ZERO STARS. read more

I was so excited to come to Splish Splash with my family the cost of the trip $500. The Cabana was great and so was the service. The wait for rides was at least 45 minseven with a speed pass. Add insult to injury to exit the park was a nightmare another 45 mins. Definitely not worth the 2 hour ride to Calverton. I rather go to the Kartrite, Kalahari, Camel Back. The park not big enough to accommodate a busy summer day. All you do here at Splish Splash is just spend time waiting on lines. Save your money and your time. One more thing the wave pool was so packed you can barely move I'm totally disgusted. read more

In response to stephanie m. and splish splash over the bootlegers run incident: So explain why the park staff never tried to help yet you say "safety is the parks main priority" that was clearly not shown in that scene as the staff didn't even care or address anything. Also as you can see from this incident the staff clearly aren't reporting any injuries to higher authority splish splash ceo or whoever is completely unaware so i don't believe your "28 years of safety" claim sorry. I believe in this situation the staff who runs bootleggers run realized they made an error and wanted to keep it as lowkey as possible so they don't get fired or whatever. read more

Splish Splash is a great way to spend a summer day with the kids. First I must say some of the reviews are very unfair. This is a water amusement park, so yes you will have huge crowds, expensive overpriced so-so food, long lines etc. However if you plan accordingly it's a great experience. I went with my 3- 6yrs olds and an infant 10months and Nana, Aunt. Here's what we did : You can Call the day before to see if many large groups, camps or schools are going. 1) We Packed coolers with food, drink, snacks etc (You can't bring it in but it's very easy to go in and re-enter park. 2) Go early as possible. The park opens at 10am. We got there at 9:15am on a Thursday and got a great parking spot near the entrance and picnic benches under the trees. This works out perfectly for lunch and easy car access during the day (we didn't rent a locker they are $14.00-$22.00 !) 3) As soon as we got inside the park we rented the H2go pass and For us it was well worth the $40 upfront cost ($20 cost plus $20 refundable deposit upon return at the end of day.). We only got 6 bracelets though as it was going to be me, Aunt and the 3- 6yr olds on the rides but you can take turns using with others (i.e. - Nana took my bracelet and went with 6yr old on rides.) I will absolutely get it every time, the lines get ridiculous ! If you dare go on weekends, then the premium H2Go pass may be with the extra $20 because it cuts the H2Go line wait in half ! Trust me, I saw people wait well over an hour and a half for a ride (no special bracelet) especially Bootleggers Run and Alien Invasion (of course the most fun and intense rides there) 4) Don't go on the weekends it's crazy busy. We went on a Thursday. I would recommend Monday-Thursday as best times. 5) After we got our H2go pass, we immediately found lounge chairs and planted our stuff. 6) Bring /wear water shoes. The rides have cubbies for your stuff but it's a PITA and going barefoot your feet get raw after 4-6 hours of walking on concrete. Flip flops run the risk of flying off if you wear them on rides 7) Study the park map ! Wish I would've done that before hand. I got lost a few times going back to the Kiddie Pool, which is where we got our lounge chairs and put our stuff. There are maps on boards throughout the park but it's easier if you study it beforehand and pick up a print copy at the gate. We spent a decent amount of time in the Kiddie Pool area. The kids liked it a lot, they had 3 slides, swings (in the water under sprinklers ), the mushrooms with water pouring off the top. I have to say I definitely needed to push one of the kids to go on rides because they were happy just to spend the entire day there. The Kiddie Pool area has a nice mix of shady and sunny spots, which it was 90 and sunny so you needed shade that day. Also it's near bathrooms, very important with kids. We had a great time. It was a lot of effort and planning but totally doable & fun ! I can't speak for the food, we only bought ice cream & dipping dots. They have Johnny Rockets restaurant on site but we didn't go, as we were busy on rides and in the pools. I imagine it's expensive as most amusement park food is. I'll check it out next year. Definitely will be back ! read more

Involved in a potentially fatal accident yesterday on their "roller coaster" type ride, I think it is called Bootleg. Management and staff were useless, totally uncaring, unhelpful, and indifferent. On this ride you are in a very heavy four person raft. It starts off by first towing you uphill in the raft, and when you reach the top there is an attendant who is supposed to stop the raft before letting it go down to make sure there is enough space between your raft and the one in front of you. Well, she didn't stop our raft at all, she wasn't even paying attention, so when we crested at the too we just immediately started going down too quickly after the raft in front of us. The result was that when the raft in front of us reached the end of the ride the four people in it did not have a chance to even stand up, much less get out of the raft and out of the water, and our raft hit theirs and we slid right on top of them, and then the raft we were on flipped over. Did I mention these are VERY heavy rafts with the additional weight of four people in each one?! There was a woman in the back of the raft we hit at full speed, and our raft slammed into her back and literally slid right up on top of her. There was a young child in that raft who was terrified and crying, but luckily was not hurt. People starting yelling at the attendant at the bottom of the ride to get medical help and call a supervisor, and we were totally ignored. The people in my raft had to help the people in the raft ours hit, and we were desperately trying to get them out of the water before another raft came down. I hurt my leg when my raft flipped over, but the woman our raft hit was really injured and should have gone to a hospital. MANAGEMENT NEVER SHOWED UP, NOBODY EVER CAME!! THE ATTENDANT WHO WITNESSED ALL THIS DID NOTHING, NEVER EVEN GOT UP OFF HER ASS!! The injured woman was really shaken up. This was a potentially fatal accident, she could easily have had her back or neck broken when we slammed into her. The scariest part of this incident was the complete indifference and incompetence shown by the ignorant teenaged employees in charge of the ride, and that we received no help whatsoever from anyone. We were ignored when we asked for medical help. One employee actually said "Well we sell Benadryl if you need it". Really? The injured woman ending up leaving the park with her family after receiving ZERO help or assistance from anyone. I hope she is okay today. Really dangerous how poorly this place is mismanaged. In light of the seriousness of what happened on this ride, I completely forgot to mention something that occurred earlier at the park. While going up the steps to a different ride, we observed a used, bloody tampon lying on one of the steps, which another patron stepped on before he saw it. Just lovely. read more

We came here a few weeks ago. The water is always freezing, the Churros are good, Johnny Rockets is the spot to eat, Funnel cakes are a must and the Lazy River is the first ride you go on. Come here early as the locals from Long Island tend to get here around 12 noon. Personally, if you are more than a group of 3 and some of you don't wanna go on crazy rides a cabana is the way to go. PEOPLE......... UNDERWEAR IS NOT A BATHING SUIT. BRO I CAN SEE YOUR BEANS AND FRANK...........AND ITS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF. If you forgot your suit at home (bc why would you not bring a bathing suit to a water park.....) they sell them in front. Also GUYS............ PLEASE STOP WEARING SOCKS WITH YOUR SANDELS IN THE WATER. REALLY? ITS NOT ONLY DISGUSTING BUT REALLY GHETTO........... Ladies......... I don't wanna hate but you are not at South Beach in Miami.......... dress appropriately there are children around and KNOW YOUR SIZE. I know you've had that suit since you were 16 but you butt is 57 now so wear something less revealing pleaseeeee..... Other than that, an awesome time every time. read more

brought my son and his friends here during the week the park was pretty empty its not a huge water park but it has enough rides to keep you busy for a while the park seemed well maintained we ate at the jonny rockets they have inside the food was good overall we had a good time the lines weren't long and everyone had a good time read more

Well ok it's AFTER water park season, but I already know I will be back. Sure it's overpriced, so many will have to skip pinkberry and starbucks for a few weeks (which also helps ready you for bikini season anyway) to splurge. And splurge you will. You'll splish and splash too. It's pretty f'n far out in Lawn Giland, so it is a drive and a half. You might want to consider their one day LIRR/entrance combo. Beware though that the shuttle from Ronkonkoma (sp?) leaves only twice in the morning, and once in the evening, so don't miss it or you are screwed. The location is good though, as it's not jam packed with every obnoxious schmuck from the tri-state area like Great Adventure. The crowds were amicable and mannerly, no matter the demographic, so it was nice to see people gettin along for once, likely due to the lack of the aforementioned. The lockers are a bit of a rip-off, so if you drive, keep your suit under your clothes and strip down in the lot when you get there (and yes when you leave, leave the suit on, get re-dressed and put a dry towel down on the seat) It's infinitely easier than dressing and changing in, at best, semi-private rooms or out in the open. You'll be walking barefoot and towelled for the most part (there are these tube-shaped towel-holders in front of every ride, so you can leave it there) but after an hour and several rides, it'll just be cold & wet. Like you. Go on the hotter days, and let the sun dry you off. There is every possible combination of slides - covered, uncovered, ones with floatie dealies and ones without, easy ones, death defying ones, etc. So you can pick and choose as you wish. The distribution also helps keep the crowds down as much as possible, but likely some days they are long. The huge wave pool is awesome, hands down one of my favorites, along with lazy river. That's right, because I'm f'n lazy. The food is average at best and a rip-off. If you can, keep food in a cooler (if you drove) and have a massive picnic just outside the grounds halfway through (and of course wait an hour after). The gas money you spent will definitely be less than a day of burgers fries, etc, for everyone. If you took the train/bus, try to sneak it in your locker (its a bit tough) and do the same. In either case, leave the macaroni salad at home. I spent a good 7 hours there, and there was *maybe* one song on their piped in music playlist that was just ok. Everything else was great 80's music, the top shelf sh't. No hippity hop, no crunkin', no indie bands, and no Katy Perry version of "Lose your Love" - The Outfield version only! Even though my wallet was wrung out like a soaked towel...still, 5 stars! read more

I've been going to Splish Splash for the past 10 years. I first started coming after I saw a water park countdown show on the travel channel and this establishment got placed at #5 for the entire country. That's pretty damn high considering all the great water parks that exist in the Wisconsin Dells. I tend to go the first weekend it opens during Memorial day as they have half priced tickets and the weather is a bit cooler (low to high 70's) which keeps away all but the polar bears (like me). The lines are orders of magnitude shorter as a result. I'm talking lines where you have no more than 10 people in front of you for any ride. I have to give kudos to the management staff for having the balls to open on days like that for the hardcore crowd. This year they opened the their Bootlegger's run ride and although Memorial day weekend got rained out, I ended up coming during a heat wave weekend. Here are some tips to maximize your enjoyment of the park. They are based on the premise that people are lazy. 1) Skip the main wave pool and use the smaller one that is located near the back of the park. It tends to be less crowded due its distance from the entrance. A big advantage is that there is a shaded area where you can park your stuff on the lawn chairs. 2) The popular Bootlegger's Run has a line for singles. Use it. Break up your party if you have to. It took me an hour to ride on the regular line but only ten minutes as a single. The ride is fun as hell and being able to get on it 6 times more as a single really maximizes your return on the ticket. 3) You will find the absolute shortest lines at Shotgun falls, because it actually requires people to swim to exit and it drops you about ten feet from the air. If you can swim, this will be your mainstay. 4) Not too many people like the Abyss, because it's in a closed tube and you zip down pretty fast. This scares away all the claustrophobes. 5) The line at Cliff Diver has gotten progressively shorter every year. What the hell happened? Where are the Carpe Diemists, Yolonauts, and hardcore adventurers? There is nothing like screaming down 80 feet of fiberglass to remind you that you're alive. If you got a pair you can go down this ride pretty frequently. All in all, this is a fabulous park, and you don't need to necessarily buy the H2GO pass to get your time and money's worth. read more

Long lines, overpriced, very crowded! Just packed and unsafe and the workers "all kids" had no control whatsoever! Especially in the kiddie zone. Rides had wait times of 2 hours or more. The parking was 15.00 the admission for adults was 42.90, for those under 48 inches it was 31.90. If the H202go pass was purchased for 45.00 additional dollars the wait time for rides was like 1 to 1.5 hours. No purpose in purchasing an express pass if you still have to wait over 1 hour. Left there after one hour and had a better times spending my coins at tangers! Never going to splish splash again. read more

Splish Splash - Sooo crowded have to park on grass and dirt! 15.00 to park, $41 adults $32 kids under 48 inches, express pass 45.00 never again! - Water Parks Near Me - Calverton, New York

Water temperature the kids are complaining is to cold but they will get used to it. I can are coming here 1-2 times per year read more

I visited the park with my family on a Sunday, July 2019. For a family of four the tickets cost $200. The park was extremely over crowded, they sell as many tickets as there are people to buy. We entered at 2:30PM and left at 7:30PM. In the 5 hours at the park were were able to get on 4 rides, 10 seconds each to complete the ride and spent 1 hour waiting online to get food. The food options are ridiculous, everything fried, unless you buy the one healthy option, an organic salad bowl for $8 that has about a 1/4 of Persian cucumber and a half a tomato. We have not taken any breaks in the 5 hours other than the one hour for food, and 10 minutes to eat it. At the end of the day, the parking lot was full with people smoking pot. I would never ever return. read more

*CAUTION: This review may be slippery when wet. John N splished and splashed, slipped and slided, hurtled, glided, rocketed, catapulted, and careened down slides, through water filled tubes and on roaring rapids all day. It was glorious. read more

It's fine. Certainly not as bad as some reviewers suggest. The rides are pretty fun, especially the Alien ride. The lines were long on the Friday I went, but not impossibly. I imagine they're much worse on the weekend, maybe not as bad on a Tuesday. Splash Landing was the best for short turn around time. The food is your typical fried park food. Not awful but overpriced. The crowds are mostly friendly and cheerful. Some reviewers complained that the crowd was a bit gangster. I guess some of them sorta are. But it's hard to be nervous about a big muscled guy with what look like gang tattoos when he's carefully holding the hand of a little 5 year old girl and helping her onto a ride. People are clearly there to relax and enjoy the rides, I saw no confrontations, no bad behavior. Cheap flip flops seemed to be the smart attire. Just take 'em off and hold on to them during the rides. My son and I went barefoot, which was fine, but there were a few hot patches that toasted our feet a bit. On the other hand, we didn't have to worry about losing the flip flops. We brought one towel and left it hanging at the exit of each ride. I also recommend a waterproof container to hold your stuff in. I got one on Amazon for maybe $20 and it safely held my wallet and a cheap camera. They let me take it on all the rides, even Cliff Diver (although I had to hold it tightly to my chest on that one). The train/bus combo from Manhattan via the LIRR worked perfectly. The bus is right there by the train and takes you right to the park. (Remember to ask for the "Splish Splash package" when buying your ticket: they'll give you a ticket for the park, 2 tickets for the train (both ways) and two tickets for the shuttle bus (both ways)) read more

This is my First Time going to a water park, I went with my old college. I Love Splish Splash. We went on alot of rides. First ride we went on was the Dragon's Den, I was nervous going down the slide at a fast speed (fear of heights) then it puts us in this bowl with a dragon in the middle, we got stuck because the person riding with me was a bit overweight, we had to force the tube to go down the other slide into a pool of water. This ride was fun but left my heart beating out of my chest. Hollywood Stunt Rider is another ride at Splish Splash, We go down this long dark black slide at a very fast speed. You can't see anything while your in a tube sliding down and sideways till you reach the bottom. Lazy River is a ride that exactly like the name, You sit on a tube and float on a huge river of water that goes in a long circle of water, very lazy and very relaxing. Mammoth River is like a basic spinning water slide in which you land in a pool of water. Shotgun Falls is a free fall drop, where you land into a 10 foot pool Dinosaur Falls is a pipeline type slide in which it has 3 slides in the bottom. I love this ride, we when on it 3 times and enjoyed it so much. the twist and turns, swinging side to side and the dinosaur squirting water at us. The Burger was horrible, but the Fries was good. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for the summer read more

I used to like this as a kid. The last time I went it was pretty ghetto. More and more people from the ghetto come here, not saying people from the ghetto or hood dont belong here, but its givig the people and place a bad rap. I wouldnt take my wife, girlfriend here. Maybe a hoodrat. read more

Now I may be biased in my opinion coming as someone who's been to a good share of water parks. But I feel like I just wasn't satisfied with my experience here very much, if at all. I came here on a Saturday in mid-August so I anticipated that it would be pretty crowded, but I was not prepared for what I experienced. We bought tickets online which made the whole entering the park process quick and efficient (just pull up the email on your phone and they have a machine to scan the barcode!) The worker at the gate was also friendly but that was it as far as nice gestures I received here from employees. As for the rides, the lines were chaotic and almost not worth waiting for. The line for the lazy river took over 40 minutes alone. The line for the food stand was even worse. There was almost no order, people sitting along the back railing of the line area were apparently also in line. I felt almost disrespected by the worker who took my order, and I was ripped off being told that I could order cheeseburgers without the combo, but turns out its the exact same price as it would be WITH the combo fries. Shouldn't a customer have been told this? Basically if you have no other choice, it isn't the worst water park in the world. The rides were okay and the kids were satisfied with the kiddy area. But after the service I experienced at the food stand, I'd recommend considering exploring other options. read more

It's a water park built in between the trees. Which was a great idea because you don't have to be under the hot summer sun all day long. You'll feel a lot more relaxed walking around the park. There's rides for everyone here. From kiddie rides to the fun and thrilling. The best bet is to go as soon as the park opens. You can manage to go on every single ride twice before the crowd shows up and trust me, that huge crowd will show up. By that time, you're going to feel like going home unless you don't mind waiting over an hour on line. The downside to this park, besides the big crowds in the afternoon, are the rude teenage employees, and the over priced food. If you try your best to avoid all 3, you will have an amazing time with your friends/family. read more
