Research the water park before you go. It’s pretty nice but really expensive, and the food is outrageously priced. We paid 35.00 for a cheeseburger, fries, nachos, a small funnel cake and two drinks.

3/5 - Okay

very expensive

3/5 - Okay

Two hour wait time for the rapid river. Wasn’t worth the money. Was there all day and only got to do 4 things at both parks because of line wait time.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Take your own picnic, the snacks and drinks are expensive. Leave valuables in hotel safe or pay $13 and up for a locker.
