Save big- buy the Groupon!
I bought the 1/2 price Groupon last summer and went to Big Surf for the first time. Who knew it was so close to home?! This summer I bought the season pass for $49. BS had originally planned to raise the price of the season pass to $69, but decided to keep it at $49 all summer.
I found the park small with only 10 working slides, but the best part is that there's no waiting during the week. Even on weekends you don't have to wait as long to slide as you do at other water parks.
The wave pool was nice to hang out in and catch some rays. I like walking through the shallow water as you enter to strengthen my help legs. My friends and I took silly pictures on the floats in the kiddy pool. It felt good to be a "kid" for the day. The food is rather pricey and on the "unhealthy" side, but there are three healthy items on the menu- Chicken Ceasar salad for $5.50, ceasar salad and watermelon. The rest is burgers, fries, pizza and hot dogs.
There is a Water Overload on Friday nights from 6:30- 10 PM. This summer it is FREE for season pass holders and $10 for general admission. I am looking forward to checking that out. Enclosed slides with no natural light shinigng throught the cracks sounds like F.U.N. to me!
If you can't find me on Yelp, I'll be at the water park.
