| - I'll start by saying that this got 2-stars rather than 1-star because of the clean property and friendly staff.
This was a Groupon purchase for a staycation for our family of 4 since we live in the Phoenix area. There was absolutely no value to it at all. We had to pay an upgrade fee to get anywhere near the waterpark.
The the waterpark, they literally check your bags to ensure that you're not bringing any food or drink into the park so that they can charge ridiculous prices on food and drink (ie. Chicken fingers and fries for my two kids was $31, 12oz domestic beers were $6.50, a HAMBURGER was $13).
Look, I don't mind paying for the convenience but to not afford us any other options but to leave the property for an affordable meal wasn't very "family friendly".
We thought we'd do breakfast the next morning on the property and that menu was highway robbery as well. (ie. $10.50 for a couple pancakes, $3.25 for a single egg, etc.). We ended up leaving the property, real inconvenience, to hit the Dennys a couple blocks away and saved in excess of $30 when we had drinks, etc.
This one night staycation ended up costing nearly $400 by the time we paid the upgrade, resort fee, overpriced food & drinks and the room.
In the end, the waterpark certainly didn't justify the cost as Wet & Wild is more affordable with more ride options and affordable pricing.
Avoid if you're on any sort of realistic budget.
