Wild Rivers in Irvine is a fantastic family friendly spot we visit every season, always well organized and clearly maintained. The main food court disappoints though, especially the burgers, which could use real improvement. Still a great atmosphere for beating the summer heat in OC read more

Sep '26: Amazing improvement from last yr. + Cheap. Just $30 for 4hr (3-7pm) on a weekday. + Line waits mostly short. - Water guns should be standard issue right at the park entrance. - Need more shade right before the bag check lines. We're tryna sign the waivers via the big QR code and wanna stand to the side to not block the entrance, but there's no shade there in the glistening hot sun. + Entering parking at 3pm was also fast and easy. + The staff at each ride entrance worked diligently and efficiently to evenly distribute passenger weights for every takeoff. - The waiver asked too much. You don't needa know how many pets I have! (jklol) Aug '25: + Refreshing place to beat the summer heat with friends and family. + Wide variety of aquatic attractions, including water slides, lazy river, wave pool, and the infamous Boomerango. Very fun! - Excessively long, boring wait lines. 45min on a weekday... - Exorbitant, unhealthy food and drink options at the Pacific Grille food court. . Tip: coordinate in your party who orders fries at this food court, and share with the rest of your party. Otherwise, if everyone orders fries, you'll have so many leftover fries to throw away. - That food court needs more shaded seating. + Glad not ALL toys are banned from water parks. ;) - We always enjoy using pool tubes in the Lazy River, but man they need a lot more. No matter, we still turned it into the Crazy River. :D - They removed pool tubes from the Wave Pool. (Fortunately we found other ways to turn it into the Rave Pool. }:) - Restrooms need more stalls. - Expensive $25 slow, crowded parking when it could just be $5, + but the free farther parking lot is just a 5min walk away. ;) read more

I would've given it 4-stars, however, I'm knocking it a star because one of the employees at a slide was SUPER rude. When it was our turn, she didn't tell us how we were supposed to go on the slide (which was supposed to be belly down, so a lot of us sat down normally). We were like this before she told us we can slide down and then she blew her whistle for us to go, and THEN noticed that we were sitting in the wrong form. Some people on our party already slid down at this point, but me and one other didn't. She started yelling at us saying that that's not how we're supposed to slide and now we had to go all the way back in the line if we wanted to go on it. I feel like her tone and attitude was super unnecessary while I feel like it was negligence on her part for not telling us how to properly use the slide and telling us to go BEFORE actually looking at our form. It was also such a bummer because this was the first attraction we were on and we came to celebrate a birthday, so it left a bit of a sour taste in our mouth. Outside of this experience, I'd say the rest of our experience was better and everyone else was friendly and shared instructions prior to getting on the attraction. There's a decent amount of attractions that vary from super chill to pretty thrilling, so there's something for everyone. Overall, it's a solid spot to check out during the warmer weathered days. read more

I am writing this to advise people not to buy a season ticket. Today is the HOTTEST day of the year probably and they are not open. No reason, no heads up. Just closed. I Bought this pass specifically bc I knew how hot it gets in September on OC, and now they close on a day very nessessry for a waterpark. I'd say annual passes are a false advertisement, and this park wishes it was what it used to be. Bad remodel, do not reccomend. And they are always out of cookies n creme dip n dots. Not cool. read more

AWFUL-I would give 0 stars if I could. The entire little-kid section was closed all day, and this was never disclosed to us before purchasing tickets or even when we checked in. When we walked into the park and over to that section we noticed it was closed-we then were told that there was a leak, but I later overheard a supervisor speaking with a lifeguard saying it was actually because they were understaffed. I understand that many employees may be high school or college students who have gone back to school, but that should not fall on paying customers. We specifically came because we have little kids and planned to use that area. I called customer service and was told there was nothing they could do. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told that emailing would be the quickest way to get a response. Regardless of whether the closure was due to a leak or staffing issues, customers should have been notified ahead of time and offered some type of compensation when a major section of the park was unavailable-especially families who came specifically for the younger children's area. Extremely disappointing experience. We will not be returning. read more

Went on a Saturday in September and had a really good time. It was our first time and the kiddos loved it. We usually go to legoland waterpark but this was much closer. The attractions were very family friendly and majority of the rides minimum height requirement were 42". Lines weren't too long either. One big dislike is not allowing for outside food with minimal food options that aren't great. Otherwise, we enjoyed the waterpark and plan on coming again! read more

I have mixed feelings about wild rivers, I honestly really enjoyed it the first time I went (4th of July), there was nobody there and I was able to ride everything. The second time I paid 25 dollars more for the ticket (a Sunday in the summer) and rode barely anything in the same time span of the last time. The wave pool didn't work for 20 minutes and the workers weren't sure what to do. Also, I feel like there needs to be a better process for lifeguards, like a megaphone because the whistle blowing is so loud and they're rude to the kids. Overall, it's a fun, great place for kids and it can be super fun for adults but it's very expensive and the price doesn't always reflect the experience you will have read more

Wild Rivers - 21 dollar drink - Water Parks Near Me - Irvine, California

Cabana experience: 3/5 We had a pretty good experience today. Comes with 8 waters and a safe and a USB connection for a charger. 2 chairs and 2 loungers. We rented the cabana by the wave pool and it was very convenient. The menus don't have prices though so that makes me nervous. I rated 3/5 because they add 18% gratuity, even if you're below a party of 6 and only ordered 3 beers. Bar: 4/5 The options are the bar are very good. Order virgin pina coladas for the kids. Beer is good lol and there are TVs Food: 1/5 We ordered fries for a snack. Not very good. They were cold, and flimsy. Needed salt. Our kids didn't even enjoy them. I didn't want to order anything else after the fries because it was unappealing. Snacks: 1/5 We bought dipping dots before leaving and when we opened them up, the dots were completely melted into each other so it ended up being like a "gogurt" style ice cream. Slides: 5/5 We had an amazing time. Lots of thrill if your into that. We rode every large attraction. Wave pool is great. It's was a perfect day. Great weather. I would come back. read more

Great time to avoid the summer heat with the kids. Ages four and almost two both had a wonderful time in the lazy river and the young kids water play areas. Had a really fun time cooling off. For deals on tickets check groupon or sam's club. Will definitely be back again with family and friends. Hopefully will get a chance to ride the bigger rides. read more

Wild Rivers - Cooks cove cabana view - Water Parks Near Me - Irvine, California

Me and a couple girlfriends came here on a Thursday for a fun day at the water park. Tickets were $45. We came around 11:30 am. We decided to our own lunch to save some money and left it in the car until ready to eat. Parking was pretty easy but by the time we got there we did have to park a ways a way. Getting inside was easy, we went through security and shared a locker for $25 total. We did a few slides, lazy river, and the wave pool. We all agreed the lazy river was our favorite and stayed in there most of the time lol. We ate lunch in the picnic area but there was a good amount of flies in that area which we didn't care for but we were outside lol. Lines weren't horrible and went pretty fast earlier in the day. A group had rented out the park towards the end of the day so we did have to leave earlier than we would have wanted. I hadn't been to a water park in years and I really enjoyed myself! read more

Giving this a 5* because I had a great time when I came here on father's day with my son. There were minimal lines everywhere, maybe it was because of father's day. The few people I talked to said that was an anomaly and the lines can get crowded on weekends. Overall, I think it's a great water park. It's definitely better staffed than at Hurricane harbor where they have only one lifeguard running multiple slides causing artificial long waits. We came right as they opened and rode a few of the tube slides and had to wait to get on with others since it was a minimum of 3 people per tube. The wave pool was a hoot, and the lazy river had plenty of tubes for us to borrow. I think they could do a bit better with queuing up people on the 2 people tubes and letting us load up while we're given the okay to go down the slide. read more

Checked in at 1030, was already bored to tears by 1130. There's nothing really enjoyable there. Reading past reviews it sounds like the staff just suck in general which is not a fun read, we were fortunate to not have much to do with them beyond a pushy "take my survey!" guy. After I had changed into street clothes and was looking to leave after eating my pretzel 150 spent, wasted and lesson learned. Not coming back. read more

We're new to having season passes and our kids love it! We've gone three times already this summer and learning new tips every day. Tip 1: weekends are pretty overcrowded Tip 2: get there early as they let you inside before rope drop if you have a specific spot you want Tip 3: food is not the best, we pack a cooler and leave it in the car. You'll see families "tailgating" with chairs and packed meals. Tip 4: wear the water shoes! The bottom of the pools will rip your feet up. And crying 3 year olds who can't walk that night isn't fun. Tip 5: buy the parking pass or park at the park across the street. $25-$35 a day can add up. Tip 6: they sell alcohol but you can't carry drinks in any of the kid pool areas so if you wanna chill and watch from the chair go for it but can't be beside the kids in the pool with it I'll add more tips as our experience furthers this summer! Happy sun tans and giggles yall! read more

They do not do anything about people cutting in line. Also, they wanted my daughter (7 years old) to ride in a double tube with a grown man. Everyone is in a bathing suit btw. I said, "She can wait to ride with a girl close to her age." The lifeguard said, "He doesn't have cooties." Ok, we'll just walk down the 8 flights of stairs after waiting in line an hour. Avoid this place. i paid hundreds of dollars to have my children put in danger. Never again. read more

Great place to beat the heat in the summer! Waterslides 5/5. My favorites were the pelican plunge and boomerang. Food not so great 3/5. I rented a cabana to have a place to relax but there are so many bees . When I sat down I would have to get back up to shoo the bees away. The ice and float drinks were yummy. Check AAA for discount tickets read more

This place is iconic! My besties and I channeled Grown Ups and went on a Sunday. Parking was $25 for general, lockers were $16-24 for the day depending on the size, and our tickets were $56 - super worth it! We stayed from open until close & were able to go on basically all of the attractions, and it all seems fairly new even though it's been open a while. The food wasn't too expensive, but the only negative I'd say is they were super understaffed at the bar/restaurant and everything took a very long time. We spent more of our time waiting there than waiting in a line for a slide. Would definitely come back on a hot summer day :-) read more

We had such a great day at Wild Rivers! We purchased day passes for a Monday, and it ended up being the perfect day to go. We also rented a cabana, and our server, Yvonne, made the experience even better. She was absolutely amazing--so attentive, friendly, and welcoming. She checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. If you get the chance, definitely ask for Yvonne! The park itself was very clean, and every employee we encountered was kind and helpful. The food was exactly what you'd expect from an amusement park, and while the drinks are a little pricey, I actually didn't mind--it helps keep people from overdoing it before climbing all those stairs to the slides! Overall, we had an awesome experience. The rides were fun, the atmosphere was great, and the customer service really stood out. We had such a good time that we've already decided we'll be buying season passes next year. Highly recommend! read more

While we were in the food court, my husband was stung by a bee inside his cheek. He immediately sought assistance from a lifeguard who was walking through the area and explained what had happened. The lifeguard directed him to the first aid station to find a supervisor, and my husband had to make his way there on his own. Thankfully, he received care and is doing okay, although he has experienced significant swelling throughout his face. I wanted to share this because a bee sting inside the mouth can present a greater risk than a typical sting due to the potential for airway swelling. While everything turned out well in our case, I was surprised there didn't seem to be a greater sense of urgency given the location of the sting. This is not intended as a complaint about the individual lifeguard, as I don't know what their training or protocols require. Rather, I hope this situation can serve as an opportunity to review procedures so employees recognize when an injury may warrant immediately contacting first aid, notifying a supervisor, or otherwise expediting medical assistance. I also wanted to share a separate concern regarding our experience at Tomcat Racers. During our visit, a content creator was filming a challenge on or who knows what and was permitted to go to the front of the line for five consecutive rides. This significantly slowed the line for guests who had been waiting their turn. I understand and appreciate the value of promotional content for the park, but allowing repeated priority access during a busy operating day (Friday in the Summer) negatively impacted the guest experience. I hope future filming can be scheduled during less crowded times or managed in a way that minimizes disruption for paying guests. We truly appreciate the care provided by your first aid staff, and we're grateful my husband is recovering. I hope these comments are helpful as you continue providing a safe and enjoyable experience for your guests. read more

Honestly I never been to a theme park like this. I came to celebrate my friends bday for the night wave event and it was not good an experience. The food and drinks were pricey and drinks watered down. It reminded me of all inclusive at the hotels. The park is not big at all! They have some slides and pools but nothing to go crazy for. I also did not like how it was over at 9 PM and they stop letting people get a water slides around 8:15. I don't think it was fair especially when you have paid. Didn't think it was that much fun, and could have lasted longer until a later time. Also, the weight for the bar was absolutely long and we stood in line for over an hour that takes up most of your time to enjoy yourself. The plus is that it's located in a very nice area and it is a clean park, but otherwise I don't think I will come back here again . Free parking and lots of it! read more

Wild Rivers - Outside entrance - Water Parks Near Me - Irvine, California

If you're staying the day, I recommend coming in later. There's always a rush to get in the park and seasoned passers leave early. If you are planning to stay the entire day getting a cabana to cool down and relax is a smart move. But don't listen to me, I'm just a girl who doesn't mind going up stairs multiple times to ride a water slide. read more

We went to Wild Rivers for the first time yesterday and had a blast! The park was clean and the staff we interacted with were all friendly and helpful. My husband lost his prescription goggles coming off one of the water slides and the lifeguard was helpful & had a good attitude as he helped us retrieve it. The pizza also surpassed our expectations. I think the only slightly off part was getting lunch--lines in the cafe were crowded & confusing (it was a Tuesday, so can't imagine what that must be like on a Saturday). Timing for season passes doesn't work out this summer for us, but we'll definitely be considering it for future summers! read more

So glad to have finally tried out Wild Rivers which is a waterpark nestled in Irvine's Great Park area. Parking is $25 and you can pay there or online beforehand. I also got a Groupon deal for $45 a ticket, which is a few dollars cheaper than what they offered on the official website. I recommend periodically checking Groupon for deals. When you enter, they have lockers on your left, and plenty of restrooms, showers, and changing rooms. For food, they have a main grill serving hot foods such as pizzas, mini corn dogs, and chicken tenders with fries. There are plenty of stalls serving pastries, ice cream, drinks, and even alcohol. As for attractions, they have plenty of solo body slides, duo slides, and group slides. The best one hands down is the Bora Bora Boomerango. There is also a lazy river and a wave pool, as well as kiddie areas with shallow water and fountains. The overall park is super clean and staff operating slides and serving food are super friendly. read more

My family and I have been coming to Wild Rivers every year as a large group of more than 20 people, and it's become one of our favorite annual traditions. Over the years we've spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars collectively on admission, food, drinks, merchandise, lockers, and in previous years even cabanas. We've always had positive experiences, which is why what happened today was so disappointing. Toward the end of our visit, my wife and I climbed the stairs to the Pipeline area where rides like Tiki's Revenge and Fiji Falls are located. Apparently, the park has changed the line and staircase system since our last visit, separating which staircases are designated for specific slides. We genuinely did not know this had changed and did not realize we had entered from the wrong side. Once we reached the top, we politely explained the situation to the lifeguard. We apologized for the honest mistake and asked if we could simply go down Tiki's Revenge this one time since we were already standing right next to it. We explained that on our next ride we would absolutely use the correct staircase. The reason this mattered is because my wife has PTSD, severe claustrophobia, and significant anxiety related to heights. Through previous visits, we learned that Tiki's Revenge is the one slide she is able to enjoy because it is the least triggering for her. We also explained that climbing back down the tower is extremely difficult for her because of her anxiety and fear of heights. Unfortunately, the lifeguard immediately dismissed our request and responded with unnecessary attitude instead of empathy. She insisted that if we could climb up, we could climb back down, despite us explaining why that wasn't realistic for my wife's condition. I then asked to speak with a supervisor. A supervisor named John came over, and instead of listening or trying to find a reasonable solution, he repeated the same response with the same dismissive attitude. I then requested to speak with a manager, and another manager (Ashley) came to speak with us. Even after explaining my wife's PTSD, claustrophobia, and anxiety, there was still no willingness to accommodate us or even discuss alternatives. Ultimately, we were left with only two options: force my wife to climb back down the stairs despite her anxiety, or send her down a different enclosed slide that we already knew could trigger her symptoms. She chose the slide because she couldn't bring herself to climb back down the tower. Unfortunately, exactly what we feared happened. She exited the slide in the middle of an anxiety and panic attack. It was heartbreaking because it could have been avoided with a simple act of compassion and flexibility. We weren't asking to skip the line or gain an unfair advantage. We were asking to ride the slide that was literally a few feet away because of a legitimate mental health concern after making an honest mistake. I completely understand that parks have safety rules and operational procedures. I also understand employees have policies to follow. However, customer service includes using good judgment, showing empathy, and recognizing when a situation calls for reasonable accommodation rather than a rigid application of policy. The most disappointing part of this experience wasn't being told "no." It was the complete lack of compassion from three different employees. At no point did anyone acknowledge my wife's condition or make us feel heard. Mental health conditions like PTSD, claustrophobia, and anxiety are real disabilities that deserve to be treated with respect. Even if the policy ultimately couldn't be changed, there are respectful and compassionate ways to communicate with guests. This experience has unfortunately made our family question whether we'll continue making Wild Rivers our annual tradition. Bringing more than 20 family members every year represents a significant investment, and we've always enjoyed supporting the park. We simply expected better customer service, more empathy, and a willingness to help when faced with an honest mistake and a guest experiencing a genuine mental health issue. I sincerely hope Wild Rivers uses this as an opportunity to provide additional training to its staff--not only on customer service, but also on recognizing and responding appropriately when guests disclose mental health conditions or request reasonable accommodations. A little compassion can make an enormous difference. read more

Honestly, a rip-off for two adults. I really wanted to like Wild Rivers because I have nostalgia for the old Wild Rivers, but this visit was a major disappointment. We were told the vegan hot dog was available, only to find out around 4 PM that it wasn't actually available. At these prices, that's frustrating. Even with the evening half-price admission, the cost is hard to justify. For two adults with no kids, it was roughly $80 just to get in, about $40 for food, and another $18 for a locker. We did get free parking, which was nice, but the old $25 parking fee makes the overall value even worse. We ended up spending most of our time in the lazy river, which is only about 2 1/2 feet deep. Getting a tube was uncomfortable and the experience itself just wasn't very exciting. I can absolutely see this being a fun place for families with kids, but for two single adults, there simply isn't enough here to justify the price. We've spent less on a baseball game or a sporting event and had a much better time. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. I think I was mostly chasing the nostalgia of the old Wild Rivers, and this just didn't live up to it. read more

Again! This is the worst run water park. This time the person checking bags let us bring in water bottles with water and not making us dump it out. Then was not managing the line and people were obviously cutting. There is zero consistency at the entrance. Then we were in line for a yellow tube yet the lifeguards were letting people grab yellow tubes from either the green tubes or yellow tubes. It was so frustrating. No management at getting tubes. At the top of the rides with the yellow and green tubes, there are two distinct yellow tube lines. Lifeguards at the top were just letting anyone from either line go on any ride. We were in the line for just Pelicans Plunge yet the life guards on top were letting anyone from either line pick that ride. We got cut so many times. I love water parks so much but this place is so poorly managed! Talking to so many people and it's consistent disappointment and terrible organization. read more

Wild Rivers - Fun group activity for the holidays! - Water Parks Near Me - Irvine, California

This was our first visit to WR. We were a party of 7, 3 of whom were kids. Overall we had a blast! Just a few things to point out: 1. There were a TON of bees everywhere. Do not leave your drinks (sodas) unattended as they will swarm all around and in them. Not certain it is a typical occurrence for August but be warn. 2. There are very very few inner tubes for the lazy river. Either provide more or rent them out. 3. There concrete gets very slippery when wet. Be sure to wear water shoes or study sandals. 4. Not a must but some side tables would be amazing! Again, we had a fun time and intended to return next summer. Thanks! read more

I am a little biased because I love water parks lol. Growing up going to raging waters, this was definitely an upgrade. It is smaller than the rager waters I went to, but there is still a lot of rides imo. There's probably 4 group rides, 2-3 single, 2 double, the lazy river and wave pool. At first the lazy river seemed small because of how narrow it was, but it's definitely long going around. The park was relatively clean and modern. Obviously it'll be busy during the peak summer, but it was still fun. We also got chicken tenders and a cookie for $20. The food was surprisingly decent/good! The chicken tenders came in 4 pcs and some fries. Definitely recommend!! It is $25 for parking. And then $18 for a medium locker read more

Ending our family summer fun at the best water park in Irvine. We double down on this park and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of great views and fun slides for all. 11am arrival still gives you time to snag a chair or 4 for the family to lounge if you don't choose the cabana's. The park was fun and the memories even better. Make sure to check out wild rivers read more

First time visit with the family.... And we weren't sure if it would be busy and decided to get a cabana. Just in case we wouldn't be worried of not finding a spot to sit. Luckily it's wasn't busy at all but no regrets lol. Everyone here was very friendly (staff) our server Rachel was fantastic, constantly checking up on us... very helpful and friendly. We had ice and waters waiting as we arrived. My son had a blast ( the main thing for us) can't wait to come back read more

Rides and water attractions are fun. Most of the staff are really nice and welcoming. Food is pretty mediocre for high price. Dry burger, floppy fries, and chicken tenders that taste bland. Their sweet treats are good. The seating is abysmal. They took a section of shaded seating out to put in cabanas to make an extra dime. Not even an hour after opening and seating is rough to find. $25 for parking is crazy and then there's premium parking too. Too much nickel and diming. read more

You now pay for parking?? 25 dollars. I get the parking fee. even thats a bit high, but everywhere is like that. Ontop of that the food is just as pricey. Wild rivers is, well good and bad. The food here sucks!! they had pizza which was good. and the fries were okay.. but you cant really mess those up. Burger blander than a desert im not even joking!! This park is only fun if you have 4-6+ people in your group. The food just kinda gloom the overall experience. i've been here before, like the first time it opened. Way better!! bring it back. I was looking for good food, but i was grapes for like maybe over 7 dollars?? they were in a cup. I get it make profit, but apple sauce was like 3.25... and it wasn't the good ones either. I came here expecting more, and i know wild rivers is a lot more than it was today. Also i was looking at other reviews and man, it's not looking good.. Please take a look at your reviews and build up. read more

UPDATE, owner's response on my Google Review: ------ Thank you for contacting us regarding your experience on Pelican Plunge. We understand that the unexpected stop and the sounds you heard may have been frightening at the time. Based on our review, however, at no point were you, your spouse, or the children who rode before you in danger. Wild Rivers tests and inspects its attractions every operating day, and our trained team knows how to respond if a ride experiences an operational issue. We would never operate--or continue operating--an attraction if we believed there was any risk of a guest being injured. When Pelican Plunge did not complete its normal ride cycle, our team stopped the attraction and assisted you from the ride. While the experience may understandably have felt scary, we want to reinforce that you were not placed in an unsafe or life-threatening situation, nor were the children who rode before you trapped or endangered. As stated in our published policies, Wild Rivers cannot guarantee that every ride or attraction will remain open throughout the day. Attractions may temporarily close because of weather, maintenance, staffing, safety inspections, or other operational circumstances. Our policy also states that refunds are not provided due to attraction closures or interruptions. Therefore, we are unable to issue the requested ticket or locker rental refund. We are sorry that this incident affected what had otherwise been an enjoyable visit, but we stand behind the actions of our team and our commitment to guest safety. ------ My response to the owner: ------ Firstly, I would be interested to know the qualifications of the people you have inspecting your rides and deeming them safe. What are Charles, the Entertainment and Safety Director's qualifications, exactly? What are yours, if you are not Charles? Secondly, the only time refunds are mentioned in your policy published on the website are when they're in relation to Season Passes. I would know, I read it as well as the waiver we signed. Remember everyone, don't sign things before reading them! I look forward to continuing our communication about this issue. ------ read more

Staff: The staff here was really nice from the parking employees, to gate entrance, to vendors, to ride operators. I want to give special recognition to the amazing lady doing security bag checks. She was dancing with the kids which was so sweet. Somebody give her a raise. Quality/Quantity: The park is very clean, nicely laid out, offers many rides, lots of snack options, some food options, plenty of clean bathrooms, and overall a nice place. Value: The pricing for the tickets was a bit high but if you buy a group ticket or online you can save a good amount. Definitely recommend going this route. Overall: This was my first time here since they moved from to the original location. I had 3 concerns that may or may not be a concern to others. 1) The amount of time it took to enter the park was waaaaaaaayyyy too long. Scanning the ticket should be a very quick and easy process but it wasn't. There must be a more efficient way to move people through the entrance that I'd like encourage them to find. 2) Due to the large amount of development in the adjacent areas of the park there is a very very strong stench of fertilizer in the air. This is very strong and hard to ignore. I'm sure it is due to landscaping projects in the area but it definitely is a bit rough to smell all day. 3) There needs to be speed bumps and security in the parking lot. Cars drive far too fast making it a concern. In the end I had a really good time and I would return again. read more

Do yourself a favor and filter the reviews to the lowest ratings and you'll see those experiences are all more recent visits. We reserved a cabana here for my daughter's birthday. It ended in my 7 year old daughter FULL OF TEARS and hyperventilating because management here is AWFUL. We started packing up around 440pm as the waitress brought us our tab to close out. We aren't slobs, so we made sure to clean up after ourselves and pack. At this moment, they posted a SECURITY guard to stand guard at our cabana as if we were convicts. As we were packing to leave, an older white woman (Susan Kruizinga- Management) walked over and rudely clapped her hands in our face saying we had to 'hurry up and leave because they have a private event.' To come at people sideways like this AS THEY ARE ALLLLREADY DOING THE VERY THING YOURE ASKING is rude, IGNORANT, and condescending. I've included her photo. My husband told her that she could clearly see us packing the last of our things so there was no need to approach us like that. Of course she giggled, left, and came back with police officers because how dare we tell her she was being rude. See from the photos, as all the adults are talking with concern, she's there smirking. Says a lot about a person. The gentleman in blue standing next to the cabana said he was the GM and apologized (pretty sure Susan is his superior but I'm sure he took fault to protect her) Yet, apparently is doubling down on their rude and unnecessary behavior in their response to our review. As we walked out, I filmed how other cabanas were still there lounging (with children) and yet weren't forced out like us. If after this review, you still have an interest in going here know that it's mostly worked by kids as stated in previous reviews and management by older adults seems to be even more childish. She was the worst of them and she's upper management. To the management team, no need to respond to this with your corporate response deflecting and defending your ignorant, discriminatory behavior. How any of you got jobs in customer service, much less management, is beyond me. No need to feel like a keyboard warrior by responding knowing a response can't be made back. Unprofessional, dysfunctional, discriminate, rude, and ignorant. read more
