| - 3.5 Stars for me. I like this place.
The very good: Some of the more advanced/extreme slide rides provide quite a thrill. I actually liked the fries (and fry sauce) at the concession stand. All of the staff, while mostly very young, seemed pretty on top of things, and they were friendly and helpful.
The good: The overall "fun" atmosphere. The wave pool. The kiddie lily pad area is cute. Lines a bit long for some things, but manageable on weekdays. Parking was easy. Ticketing and entry process wasn't too painful or slow. Shade - when you need it - seems easy enough to find. A decent number of lounge chairs on grass were available throughout the day, although I imagine on weekends there won't be many to spare. the park attendants seem to have a good eye for safety and potential violations - nipping things in the bud before they become problematic.
The fair: Food quality. Ive read a few complaints, but I felt the burgers, chicken strips, and fry bread were all OK, or more accurately, they were within expectations given that we were in an amusement park. Smoking area pretty easy to find by stepping right outside the main entrance, and getting back in the park a breeze due to bracelet system. Forcing little kids or older folks to climb six flights of narrow metal stairs while hauling a four person raft seems....well, non-optimal. There has to be a better way to get rafts back to the starting point.
The sad: 8$ lockers with good space for one or two people, but with four people it was next to impossible to squeeze our dry gear in. Concession prices rather high (think $9.75 fast food combo meals, $4 drinks, etc.), although I suppose that is par for the course for monopolized concessions like theaters, water parks, stadiums, etc. Every venue of that type will always get a yelp star deducted from me for that....we shouldn't have to live with such high concession prices when ticket prices are already high enough *sigh*.
The oh-so-very-sad: WET changing area floors with not-so-great odors as the day nears the end. I mean it was SOAKED and very frustrating trying to change from wet to dry while keeping wallets and phones from touching soaked areas. Needs hanging hooks or better sloped drainage in the stalls, not just a teen with a mop or whatever.
I'd recommend this place to most people and most groups, with the caveat to (a) bring a cooler of iced/sealed water bottles, (b) eat right before you get there to avoid blowing $10 per person on fast food, and (c) look for the oft-available deals that bring the entry price to a more manageable level, like $22.
