We decided to take our son for the first time to the Beach Waterpark for his birthday. He turned 4 years old and he LOVED IT!!! that's actually an understatement. The happiness, the joy and the excitement on his face throughout the whole experience is unforgettable. I had my baby girl and 2 year old toddler in the area for them and they had a good time as well. The castle had different place for the kids to enjoy waterfalls and slides. And they had a baby area with shade for you to be able to sit and watch your baby/toddlers to play as well. Around the sand castle were people sitting around th

This place exceeded our expectations! The park was very clean, the staff was friendly, and the whole atmosphere was fun. We loved having a cabana to take breaks in between rides. The splash castle with the giant dumping bucket was the highlight for our kids, they laughed the entire time. There was a great variety of food, so we never had to leave the park. Such a fun family day!

More than 50 percent of the water slides were closed. Lack of water in slides had me and several other people with scrapped bottoms and the lounger chairs were disgustingly questionable. You charge so much, But what are you keeping up with? Why are so many rides closed? Why is there No water? Why are lounge chairs brown? Or is that grease?

Loved it! Took the wife and kids out for a little fun and relaxation. The river and the rides are lots of fun (minus the wait and breakdowns) but other than that everything was great! We rented a cabana with a nice river view and our server Allison was great, though she had many others to attend Jayden was a great help when she was busy. Had some nice drinks and food as well with the blue wave being my wife’s favorite! We will definitely be returning!

The best time I've ever had at Beach Waterpark. The last 2 times I went I didn't really want to go back. Yesterday with my wife, my sister, nephews and niece made it a special day. I don't get to spend time with my sister she and I spent the whole time together.
