I visited Blue Bayou Water Park in Baton Rouge, and overall, the experience was just okay. The…read morewater park itself was nice, the water was clean, and the slides that were open were fun. However, there were still a few slides closed, which was disappointing. One of the issues was the free drinks. It's a great perk, but most of the time the drinks were warm because they kept running out of ice. When they actually had ice, the drinks were good, but it was difficult to enjoy them when the machines were constantly out. Another major concern was the smell. Throughout most of my visit (around 12 p.m to 5:20 p.m.), there were frequent strong sewage odors throughout the park. While we were eating, the smell became so noticeable that we couldn't even finish our food. Anytime the breeze came through, you could smell it again, and it really affected the overall experience. The park has potential, and I enjoyed the slides that were available, but the closed attractions, lack of ice, and ongoing sewage smell were major drawbacks. I'm not sure if I would return unless those issues were addressed.

The people were nice, but the rides were underwhelming, there wasn't anywhere aside from the wavepool and lazy river to really have some chill fun while the kids played. Crazy kids running around, pushing people and saying slurs with 0 parents in sight and no stepping in from the part staff. HAD TO PAY FOR PARKING, after the OUTRAGEOUS ticket prices. I was so excited to come here, and was so disappointed when I got home. Never coming back again, I'd rather to go six flags for the same price and a way better experience.

It feels really clean, safe and family friendly. Even on 4th of July weekend, because only guests can use it, the waterpark wasn't packed at all. We would stay again just for the private waterpark! With that said, the food was not good at all. The breakfast at the Oasis grill was okay! But overall food here is sooo overpriced and not worth it. The second day we ended up doing a grocery run and packing lunches. Bonus is that they let us bring in food/drinks into the pool area. So overall we LOVE this resort as a hotel with an amazing pool but will not eat at the restaurants lol Good thing there are lots of restaurants around it, Waffle House, fine dining etc, and grocery stores also.

I am extremely disappointed by both the behavior I witnessed at this park and the staff's response…read moreto a very serious safety incident involving my 4-year-old daughter. There appeared to be a large birthday party group at the park, despite my understanding that parties are only permitted through official bookings on Friday nights. Throughout the day, several children from this group were cutting in line for the slides, pushing smaller children, and generally disrupting other families trying to enjoy their visit. My daughter and my 11-year-old nephew were among the children being pushed. After addressing the children myself and being ignored, I reported the behavior to a lifeguard. Unfortunately, things escalated into something far more serious. While my daughter was standing in shallow water showing me that she could finally touch the bottom and walk by herself, a girl who appeared to be around 7 or 8 years old suddenly grabbed her and held her underwater without any warning or reason. I was only a short distance away and immediately rushed to pull my daughter out of the water. She came up crying, coughing, and trying to get water out of her lungs while asking why the girl had done that to her. As any parent can imagine, it was absolutely terrifying. Had I not been right there, the outcome could have been much worse. I immediately reported the incident to the manager on duty. To my surprise, I was told that they weren't sure what could be done without knowing where the other child's parents were. I found that response completely unacceptable given the seriousness of what had just occurred. A child intentionally holding another child underwater should be treated as an urgent safety issue, not something to be brushed aside. I then went to the front office and was told that my contact information would be passed along to upper management and that I would receive a call. As of now, I have not heard from anyone. I also noticed a lack of enforcement of park policies throughout the day, including behavior issues and attire that seemed inappropriate for a family-oriented facility. Most concerning, however, is that a child was allowed to remain in the park after intentionally placing another child in danger. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for young children, and this was not harmless horseplay. I hope management takes incidents like this more seriously in the future and improves both supervision and staff response. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this park to other families.

The Waterpark doesn't open until Memorial day since it's still off season and a bit cold. Check in and making reservations was easy and hassle free. The spot was level, had hookups for water, electricity, and a dump drain. Each spot also had its own firepit, which was really nice. It was nice that each spot also had an adjoining parking spot for a vehicle. We didn't use any showers or bathroom, so I can't comment on that. The beachside spots were a little costly at $100 a night ,but worth the splurge. Quiet hours were posted and everyone complied. Rating from F to A +++ it gets an A ++. Minus one + for being a bit costly.

Me and 3 of my family went on a Sunday. We rented one of the Sundecks and stayed from open to…read moreclose. The sweet and helpful girl ( I wish I could remember her name) that walked us to our sundeck gave us a couple of papers, one a map of the park, one a list of food items that could be ordered and delivered to our sundeck along with the website to pull it up. Around noon I pull the website up and it just says 'no items are available at this time'. The same worker was walking by so I stopped her to see if I was doing something wrong. She said it can do that when they're at the rush peak. Completely understandable. So I get my groups orders and two of us head towards the pizza place. We walked in and stood there, looking around not knowing who to order from or what the heck we were doing. We finally ask the girl at the register and she says oh you order from someone in the back. So we stood at the counter, made eye contact a few times, asked if we ordered there and the was told mmmhm. Then he went back to making pizza ignoring us. I finally get his attention and get our order in( which was like pulling teeth with no help or direction from anyone working there) . Pay and head over to the cafe to get the rest of the food. That place was equally confusing. No idea what we were doing with zero help from the workers there. Now I'm not blaming these kids. Because they were all working and learning. I blame management because they ( by they I mean every single worker in all 3 food areas we went to) were obviously not trained well and thrown out there. They looked worn out and frazzled. So I would recommend packing a picnic lunch and eating it out of the trunk of your car for sure. The waterpark itself was fun. The kids really enjoyed it. Just skip eating if you can help it

Some walked while some biked. Sugar Mill is a looping trail about a mile long. The alligator boardwalk trail was closed, likely due to damage from Ida and hasn't been repaired yet. There was another trail, but we did not take it. The massive cypress are just awesome! The Spanish moss slowly wavering in the air as you walk underneath these giants is just captivating to me! We did not encounter any creatures except squirrels and a male Orchard Orbweaver and his impressive web. Sooo much space and things to do here we didn't even do all of it.
