Also a few vendors like Pet Suites, Rover Oaks, and a few vets in the area. My dog had a great time. However, I do wish they would put some temporary doggy bag stations since not everyone picked up after their dogs unfortunately. Tickets were $5 per dog and comes with a human ticket. Their check in process was quick, a waiver is required to be signed prior to entry. Parking was free and plenty, there were a fee concessions stands open offering funnel cakes, ice cream, fries and tots. I like how you can bring a reusable water bottle to refill using their drink station. My dog had a time running around and barking at everything. May return for future Bark N' Waves events.

I decided not to change my clothes as I felt uncomfortable doing so. I told guest services and they said they would handle it. We came back today, and OMG, the same slats were bent and there were even more openings. people were peeking into the stalls and giggling and laughing. The doors would not lock, so people were opening the doors, exposing 8-12 year old boys to the crowds. finally, I managed to get into a stall, I am an adult, so I tried to change out of my bathing suit into my clothes. i turned away from the door and tried to hold the handle with my hand as the door would not lock. the kids outside the door were laughing as they could see my butt through the bent slats and they were laughing and making comments. and they kept trying to open the door, which I was trying to hold closed...... totally inappropriate. I told guest services and the girl said "ok, I will pass your comments on to management" and then went back to chatting with her friends. the other adults with me reported similar issues, being exposed as others opened doors that would not lock or comments from kids that were peering through the bent slats..... not ever going back here again. and if you go, I recommend you take a buddy to the bathroom to block the door and prevent others from peeking into and seeing you change clothes

Big Rivers is great about offering reasonable pricing for families and they sponsor many nights where they spotlight groups, offering deep discounts. Parking was free. Finding a good parking spot was easy. If you got a special event, bring your walking shoes because there is a lot to see and do. Lots of activities including a petting zoo, carnival rides, axe throwing, inflatables, and more. We like that they have none of the carnival midway games that take your money for a modest prize. They offer lots of food options ranging from carnival fare like funnel cakes to regular food. Prices are what you would expect. The staff is pretty friendly, lots of young people but enough of the older folks to keep things running smoothly. Overall, it's a relatively inexpensive way to celebrate the holidays, giving you lots to do, see, and enjoy without breaking the bank.

I opened my 32,000 gallon in-ground pool on May 19 2017 this year only to find the pool half empty. The pool company I've been using the last few years doesn't replace liners so they recommended another local pool company. On May 22 2017 I contacted the recommended company and provided them some specifics related to the size of my pool. They stated that they would get back to me with a quote and that I was fourth on their list; they service one or two customers per week. My status inquiries to this company were ignored so I contacted Aquatic Dream Pools on July 11th. Dave Hjelm, from Aquatic Dream Pools, arrived on July 11th to take some measurements and said that the new liner would arrive in two or three weeks and that it would take one day to install the new liner. The liner arrived and was installed on August 8th. Within a day, it was clear that other problems existed as the water level dropped considerably over that time frame. I contacted Aquatic Dream Pools and Dave and Malcolm arrived and began looking for the leak. A week and a half into troubleshooting process, we thought the leak had been located and repaired. When the water level was brought back up to normal levels, the pool had dropping about 2 inches of water over a 24 hours period. Once again I contacted Aquatic Dream Pools and Dave and Malcolm were back out looking for leaks. Over the course of another week and a half, an additional leak was discovered and repaired. Aquatic Dream Pools took ownership of my pool problems and was determined to get the pool operating leak free. Dave and Malcolm must have been to my home an additional 8 or 9 times looking for leaks and their stick-to-itiveness is especially noteworthy. Oh, did I mention that those additional trips were at no additional cost to me? Needless to say, I highly recommend Aquatic Dream Pools and they will be my pool company of choice going forward. Customer service on this level is very hard to find these days.

After many messages and a request for a refund, we're having to resort to a legal process to get our money back.

My family enjoy the thrill of the slides, but that is all! If it wasn't for us living so close, our season passes and coming in at least twice per season then we are getting our monies worth but if I lived further I wouldn't make the drive. The food is mediocre, nothing special of their burgers, pizza, and chicken strips so opt out of the meal deal for the entire season and just visit the nearest restaurants right outside the park. The park is pretty spacious and we reside at one of the quieter areas as the kids roam around sine there is plenty of seating. Some slides need upgrades and perhaps have a better system of entrances and exits since small children can't read and a thin rope won't do much to stop anyone from entering/exiting. We are still going to come here every season until we see the park fall apart completely. It is fun to come for a couple hours and then head on home after a hot summer day.

Our grandson, who is 15, already driving on a permitted basis and very responsible went there on MAy16. His money was taken and two hours into his day he was approached and kicked out of the park. He had no issues gaining entry where they should have explained the policy and kept him out. He wasn't creating any type of issue and had to leave with no refund. My daughter (his mom) went to get him was intimidated and surrounded by five security personnel who refused to listen to her, or adequately explain the policy. They claimed there are "signs everywhere" but wouldn't show her where they are. Unreasonable people all around.

She just had too many cabanas assigned (it looked like she had all of them), and 4) the coffee. Unreal bad. It tasted of burnt plastic. Just stunning.

I went with my family for my son's birthday, as we do annually, a tradition that's about 8 years old. We went prior and post COVID. But over time it's gotten very meh. Glad there's no loyalty program, this park it awful. TLDR: It was a Saturday, yesturday (07/19). We arrived early like we always do. We had to purchase a ticket at the gate for a friend for a whooping $87. It was never this high despite corporate takeover & website's claims of no prices changes. We all thought, okay for that amount it must be good. Nope- Terrible. Half of the rides were closed. The very rides they boasted about online, were closed. The only fun & thrills you got was seeing your money vanish. Half the restrooms were closed. Most of the food huts were closed. My son usually gets the works when we go. So whatever he wants to do/eat, we do that. Overpriced food is one of those things. But there was no Dippin Dots or no pizza spots opened. No smell of their usual bbq station. My husband said he passed by a hut that offered chicken strips. Online they claim there's 16 food locations. My butt there was 16. Some of the little huts look like they hadn't been used in a year. (But it's still mid summer people! So it's busy!) Plenty of full stocked empty drink fountains though, *yawn.* Yet it was sunny, then mildly cloudy, and scorching-hot sunny again. I'll paint a picture: Last year they still had many rides opened even during a summer storm warning. One year people on the MASSIV ride got stuck 2x in an 2-3 hour period, guess what? They still fixed it & reopened it within a few hours. They were having life guard training. Weird. Not because they were having it during regular hours. (that's not the first time we've came & they had it. they almost always do.) It's weird because it looked like they closed off most of park for it? (Most modern theme parks give notice of closed rides, renovations, etc. Not them, they think the element of suprise is still cute.) This was the 1st time it felt like a waste of money & trip to Galveston. The entire park has never felt like an over priced swimming pool before. Yes. We paid for an over priced swimming pool because the lazy river that has a "thrill" portion was down too. It was just that. The lines were too long for the little bit of slides they did have open. The lazy river basically was my gateway to see entire park & it was bad. A couple of slides had water running but not once did they open it. Here's the river kicker: can't ride lazy river without a life jacket or wrist band. To get wrist band you must sign waiver. But life jackets are requried for everyone that doesn't sign a waiver. The waiver is only for those 18+. The waiver isn't mentioned until you get into the lazy river by an employee. Glorious, you get to waste time walking back to the front to sign a form that should have been on their website, NOT app. I don't want your terrible 2-bit app. I overheard others complain about that. Sure you can take QR route & sign but guess what? You have to download the app and STILL get in line to get the wrist band. You saved 0 time. We usually make it a thing to go from open to close. We left early. No use, or need to stay any longer. Nothing changed. Nothing open else opened up. Packed picnics lunches for nothing. Do better Sclitterbahn or you'll be a thingof the past like Jungle Surf.

It was all of our first time here at Splashway Waterpark and we were super impressed! From purchasing our tickets online to getting inside the park things were super easy and breezy. Like everyone else has been noting be prepared to fill out a waiver for entrance when you arrive as each person in your party will need to fill one out (digital/online) and show a QR code of your confirmation before you get access to the park. It was awesome we were able to bring it our own food, snacks, and drinks on our own! I loved this option as we have some picky eaters and drinkers and ultimately saved on costs for us on buying essentials like bottled water and electrolyte drinks to keep us hydrated of course! But don't worry if you don't come with anything as there are plenty of food options and fresh food & drinks for you to order throughout the park. We opted for funnel cakes to boozy margaritas and even pizza too! Rides and features for the waterpark were so much fun and safe. We had such a great time walking around exploring what we wanted to get on and beat through the June heat. Plenty of tubes and lifeguards all around to make your fun even safer and a no-brainer to try all of the rides. We especially loved the cool and semi-rapid lazy river. Their lazy river was wide and feels much longer than other Texas waterparks we have been to. We loved it so much we spent most of our time here. We didn't do any of the campground parking or RV grounds use as we had a hotel in a nearby town to be able to hang out with each other and have some hotel accommodations so I cannot speak to that experience here. Lockers were super easy to use and rent so don't fret about any valuables you have as they will be safe. There are 3 options for locker sizes too that can hold things like wallet & phone only (if needed) or a large bags and ice coolers. We were super impressed with our overall experience and will definitely be back in the next year for sure.
