WILD WAVES CLOSES FOREVER ON 11/1/2026!!!…read more This is the parks 50th season as well as their last season ever as they are closing to make way for a warehouse............. The park is what it is and what that is a positive experience for the community it's a place generations have gathered to enjoy a beautiful day outside riding roller coasters and sliding on water slides it's a fun place to spend a day or the season it's a place that will be missed by all those who have passed through its gates! I've been here a few times over the years and every time has been a fun one I don't even live in this state and I've came here over the years because they have some fun roller coasters and slides like with that how can you go wrong! With that said I hope the community comes together to try to save the park because it truly is a Washington landmark! Overall I've had nothing but good times here and I hope to have one more before the end of the season!

Was once great, but it appears they aren't keeping up with the park since it's closing soon…read more Just recently went one last time before it closes for some childhood nostalgia and was pretty disappointed. There are very limited hours, the coasters don't open until an hour after the park opens (??), and when they are open, the lines are horrendous. I'm not sure if they ever had 2 trains going on the rides but we stood in line for an hour to get on the Timber hawk... that is Disneyland level wait times for a quarter of the amount of people. It was expensive! The tickets are $70 for a day, which is about 7 hours, but the coasters are only open from 12-5:30. I will say the chicken basket had a lot of chicken but it was also $25. The waters were nearly $7, and alcoholic beverages were almost $20 a drink. The elephant ear was $18. There was trash around all the rides that looked like it had been there for more than one day, and no one enforcing any rules. Fences were broken and leaning, rides were shutdown. I understand that they are closing this year but it's a shame that they are going out and seemingly just giving up on the last season. Would've been a great opportunity to make some great memories for Washington residents and leave on a high note.

Amazing time, fast entry. The only thing I wish is that people didn't Walk around naked in the…read morechanging rooms. There are people that bring their small boys into the girls room, or just any kids, my grandson who is 10 , had to go into the boys room to change and felt uncomfortable with naked "old men" running around, it's kind of uncomfortable for them, But the pool area is fun, nice community & staff.

Love this outdoor pool and little water park area in the summer. The facilities are well-kept, and…read morestaff were kind with safety in mind. My toddler son had a great time, especially in the shallow end of their pool, lazy river, and the splash zones. There are plenty of chairs around as well!

Omg what a gem and worth the drive. On the way out there u was like ok this neighborhood is…read morequestionable but when we got to the pool. My kids and neice were super pumped. The grounds were super neat, they have life vests of all sizes from infant to adult. There was a slide, a grassy area for additional seating, lawn chairs and it's perfect to host a birthday party. The session times were the perfect amount of time and it was inexpensive. The only thing in is the line is long but it moves. I can't wait to go next summer. I prefer it over wild waves any day. Cons: the lazy river I sustained an injury from because I was holding in the outside of my daughter's tube and my foot hit a large metal grate at the top.It hurt so so bad and I was limping after. When I came and told the staff they iced me up and wrapped up my toes. So that is something to definitely be careful of.

The pool is so filthy. I could not see my feet in the 3ft water, it was so cloudy. I would have…read moregiven anything for the scent of chlorine! It is such a fun idea to have slides at a hotel pool, but this is probably the worst hotel pool I've been in. The hotel is pretty gross, too. They've tried to update, but it's poor quality and reeks of different bodily fluids in the halls and side entrances. We will not be back.

Booked this hotel for water slides and slides are closed Sunday-Weds. disappointed!!!read more

Definitely the best coaster in the park! The day I went I was surprised that the line for it was…read morereally short compared to the Wild Thing steel coaster that is located up front. Probably because it is kind of hidden all the way back in the park. Wooden coasters are designed to be shaky and give that going off the rails feeling. It's sad that this one is a lot smoother than the steel one because those are supposed to be much smoother. Some tips. As with any coaster, the best seats are usually all the way in the back where you can feel the full G forces when you go down drops and sharp turns. For this ride, you are not allowed to ride it without shoes. No, there is no camera that takes your pic for you to purchase. There is a small shack at the exit that wasn't open so I assume that would of been it. There are no storage bins to put your loose articles in like glasses, hats, etc. You can just put on the ground next to the wall and pick it up as soon as you get off the ride. Minimum height requirement is 48 inches. Overall, The price of admission is not worth it for the whole park. Even if you chose to swim the water park part of it, I think it is still overpriced for most of the park is not maintained properly. Refer to my Wild Waves theme park review. I salute you Timber Hawk! You are the only great ride worth mentioning for the ride part of the park. Yelp 2015 Review #45 545 overall

TIMBERHAWK!! I've enjoyed this ride for over a decade now... it's definitely the best ride at Wild…read moreWaves! Nothing can beat the experience of a rickety wooden coaster... I recommend sitting in the very front to have the best experience! It may be small, but it's quite possibly the best Washington state has to offer! :P

I've ridden past the Eastside Community Center on my scooter a few times but didn't find a purpose…read moreto go here until this past weekend. There was a Day of the Dead festival being held here that we saw from flyers around town. We swung by for a quick visit. We were very impressed with the community center with the walking track, swimming pool, conference rooms and other areas for kids to play such as video games and slides. As for the festival itself it was really cool and a fun cultural experience to have this time of the year. Lunch was served and there were dances and performances to honor the concept of the holiday. Fun first time experience at this community center!

I competed at the King County Aquatic Center (K-C-A-C) during high school as part of my school's…read moreGirls Water Polo team. The diving pool and main pool that we competed in were all deep. In Water Polo this means no rest during a game because there is no ground within reach to stand on. Games here were thoroughly taxing in terms of physical exertion. Bleachers/seating overlook the pool and are well-tiered so that one can see the action in the pool pretty easily and the athletes are not too far away. The locker rooms are a bit on the small size for how big the pool(s) are/facility is, but in my experience they have been well maintained. Water temperature here was kept lower than other pools I have competed at. Specifically the temperature hovered around 78-79 degrees Fahrenheit in the main pool, it was slightly warmer in the diving pool/dive tank. Most of the pools I have swam at have been kept at about 81-85 degrees Fahrenheit, so swimming and competing in the pools here meant moving fast to stay warm. I did turn black and blue I got so cold some times though. One perk of this was getting to crank the heat in the car on the way home to get warm again after the water polo games.

Our swim club traveled from out of state for a three-day meet, but the experience was deeply…read moredisappointing. Right away, our swimmers faced filthy bathrooms, an incredibly cold pool, a dead scoreboard, and broken diving boards. Things took a turn for the worse on the second day when the meet was abruptly canceled due to a broken pipe. For a major facility, an event cancellation like this is almost unheard of. It is sad to see such a beautiful, historically glorious venue falling into this state of disrepair. If I were a King County taxpayer, I would be furious and demanding some serious accountability.
