    Boyyyyyyyy did we have a time last night!!!! So my bestie and I went to zoombezi bay for the first time in years!!! There was so much to do! We didn't know they had their own entrance so we came in through the zoo. Once we got to zoombezi bay the lady said our tickets was voided! We'll duh they just scanned them at the front gate. So we had to go to guest relations and very our tickets! Of course they was valid!!! We was pissed we lost our good seats and the lady didn't even apologize! But after that the LAZY RIVER WAS OUR BEST FRIEND!! like I stated before we lost the good seats so we was out in the sun. I think it's dum u can't bring a umbrella or a cooler. Your allowed one beverage and one snack person but it can't be in a cooler. The wave pool was far so we took the lazy River and DJ IQ was there! That's my guy!!! When I say we was lit WE WAS LIT LIT!!! We got food and it was A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER THEN IN THE ZOO!!!!! the hot dog and fries, the chicken tenders and fries and a drink all came up to $29! I didn't think that was bad! I got a slushy in a souvenir cup, and that was $10 and then Bessie got a frozen strawberry daiquiri in the adult section and that was $13. The adult section I loved the lazy River it's so calming I KEPT FALLING ASLEEP!!! over all we had a blast and meet so many nice people! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

    We always have a great time at Zoombezi Bay. Love that they have added a separate entrance so you don't have to go through the main zoo entrance. You can't take coolers of food in but there is an area where you can store them just outside. You can each take in a water and a snack. Lots of things to do and they had many food options open. Lines were a bit long for being a Thursday. We got a cabana and it was so nice to have a dedicated space, refrigerator, safe, fan, server, and waters. Book them ahead because it is a bit cheaper and same for the tickets.

    Overall, pretty decent day at Zoombezi! I think it was crowded for a Wednesday as it was a holiday today (which is why we went). The adult lazy river was packed with no extra tubes to use. Some lines were faster than others. The cyclone line was the longest.

    First time visiting, I like it. However....keep in mind. From my experience, it was a cashless park. Locker rental needed a credit card as well as food vendors. I enjoyed the 21 and over Lazy River. Drinks were a bit pricey. The 21 and over Lazy River gets packed, so go early. My sister and I stayed a few hrs, and then it just got to be overcrowded. We both enjoyed the wave pool and went down a couple of slides. The lazy river for everyone was nice, but much like the 21 and over Lazy River, it got to be overcrowded as well. Overall, nice waterpark. I liked it. I would visit again. Go and enjoy.

    I've been to Zoombeezi Bay many times over the years and we've gotten a membership a few of them. This year we with the opening of Pelican Bay, an area for Toddlers we decided to get a membership here again versus the Worthington Pool, which is perfectly lovely btw but with a busy 14 month old for us this was just a better fit. It's less expensive, you get access to the zoo, and kids under two are free. Pelican Bay is heated, with 12-14 inch water with various slides and fountains. We had the best time there today, and barely made it out of that area before it was time to go home. They have updated their food in recent years and even serve Harvest Pizza. When it comes to the bigger slides which are really fun, the lines can be long I would recommend getting a fast pass if you are only there for one day and you are trying to hit them all. Great summer activity for the whole family!

    After visiting Zoombezi Bay in the middle of Summer 2020, I thought I better head back to Yelp and update all of y'all on how different it is when the world is in the middle of a pandemic. My friend and I made reservations online for 11am. The amount of people allowed in per hour has been restricted to about one hundred, so purchasing tickets online ahead of time is ideal. When we arrived, the line was not long at all, it was practically nonexistent. There were also plenty of lounge chairs to snag up. These chairs were also spaced out by at least six feet to help keep everyone socially distant. This was the first thing that I noticed as significantly different. In the past, you got to hunt down a set of chairs like a hunter does a deer in November. This time around it was very enjoyable to simply find a spot quickly and get comfortable. Our next stop was to get some refreshments. While only a few of the food/drink vendor areas were open, it didn't matter because they were staffed adequately and we got our large boozy smoothie drinks super fast. Of course, they were pricey but what do you expect (about $12)? After sucking those down, applying sunscreen, and cooling off in the wave pool, we were ready for rides! The lines for rides were obviously not as long and you got through them much more quickly. I honestly heard several people mention how this experience was the best one they've ever had at Zoombezi Bay and I have to agree, I wish it was like this all of the time. While some of the kiddos weren't very hip on the COVID-19 rules, and they're parents weren't around, it also wasn't too hard to steer clear of them. My friend and I got to ride all of the rides, some several times, which definitely isn't the norm. In a 4-5 hour time span, we did more than one loop around the park, including time well spent in the lazy river and wave pool. I wonder if they'll consider keeping any of the rules they've implemented this year. I'm sure they don't make as much money as when they pack everyone in there like sardines, but it's certainly a lot more fun!

    Is this a good quality place , to bring children , & to have ENJOYABLE time ? Never been here planning to take my two children and my husband . Can I get help?

    It can get crowded on weekends on holidays. It depends on your kids' ages. As long as you can handle crowds and waiting in line for some of the slides, it's easy to have a wet and enjoyable time.… Read more

    I did go to the wave pool and the funnel looking slide which were both fantastic.

We were exhausted by the time we left from the stairs, which made it a perfect hot weekend activity! I have two suggestions: First, the staff wasn't super helpful. The woman who checked me in paused during the process so she could get candy from a coworker and then ate it while talking to me. There were no instructions given - I wasn't sure where to find the sliding pads, I wasn't sure of any of the rules, and I would have just appreciated a little more. The workers on the slides just seemed to be standing around. I asked for instructions when I went on my first slide and I didn't get the impression the young worker wanted to answer my question, nor was he monitoring to ensure the landing area was cleared before another slider went down. People were being pretty careful, but it wasn't very crowded, and I felt it could have easily become a problem. My family of four paid $140 for 90 minutes of play time plus $6 to rent a locker, so I expected more. The building itself was a little hard to find with our GPS; I feel like the signage could be bigger.

A woman was helping the minifigure walk around to meet the kids and noticed my kids were so excited; she made an effort to circle back even after he'd gone into the staff only area and I was so grateful. I wish I'd gotten her name because she went above and beyond. We had a pretzel with cheese and a drink while we were there. The food was fine, typical for this sort of place, but we needed a moment to reset since we stayed for about 3 hours. My kids loved both of the rides and we did them several times. We watched three of the movies and then my kids (8 and 4) enjoyed playing with Legos and the play area. I'm glad we were able to take advantage of a July 4th coupon but overall it was a great value and I would recommend a visit to anyone interested in Legos.

They also have another ride and play area for taller children. They have a slide for 5 years old and under. There is a party room if you want them to host an event for you. All this is located in the mall so parking is limited to the parking garages.

    The magic is gone from this place…read more The name magic mountain implies that there's a fun adventure to had, an experience to remember fondly. But, friend, I warn you now, there's no such thing here anymore. The water doesn't flow anymore, or maybe only for a little bit, because the pools of water are stagnant putrid ponds filled with scum and garbage. The course is falling apart, but not in a charming way, we lost our balls more than once. The steps are crumbling and dangerous, and if you play at night (they are open until 9 or 10 pm most nights) it's basically lit by the street lights of the nearby highway. Good luck finding a toilet that someone else couldn't quite figure out so they just pooped on the rim of the toilet seat. And there's solicitation on the regular I was approached several times to buy a cd for some rap group. A CD?!? In 2025? Get on Spotify like a normal sell out. The place smells like of mixed cinnamon with ammonia. So be wary, fellow traveler, mini golf holds a special place in my heart. But it's places like this that turn that place in my heart to a clogged ventricle and leads to collapse. Demand at least subpar standards from your mini golf, people, this is America, dammit. Instead of spending a night a magic mountain, it's more like spending a night bald mountain.
