Not nearly as crowded which makes it more family friendly. The waves aren't as large as the and intense as the "big surf" attraction which was the original and the more popular wave pool. However, this is still fun and you do get some nice and fun wave action. Overall cool and relaxing water attraction at Kentucky kingdom. More of just a place to actually swim like a public pool as it has more room and isn't as crowded as other water wave pools at hurricane bay

I really appreciate how clean & well-kept the entire park is. You can tell management really cares about their facility. I also really enjoy how affordable the food at the concession stand is.

During hot summer days this place can get packed! So I definitely recommend arriving as early as possible to make sure you can snag a chair.

Big Surf is a massive water/wave park attraction located in hurricane bay of Kentucky kingdom in…read moreLouisville, Kentucky. Big Surf is a very popular attraction and was actually the original Hurricane bay attraction. When it first was added to Kentucky kingdom it was the only water attention so it was actually just called "hurricane bay". As that portion expanded and continued to grow it took on the moniker of Big Surf. It is a 750,000 gallon wave pull that gets up to 6 fr waves. If you go to the deeper end it can get pretty intense and I'd reccomended being a competent swimmer. Very fun but I really wish they would limit the amount of people and eliminate the inner tubes here. I always get super frustrated because it gets so crowded and your always bumping into people and tubes. I went here as a kid and loved it but as a parent it gives me anxiety. They usually have 2-3 lifeguards on site around the wave pool but it is so crowded and the big waves throw people around that it can be dangerous for little ones. I'd really oblige by the 48 Inches to be alone rule here and even then if someone isn't a strong swimmer I'd recommend some type of flotation device. Overall this is a super fun wave park. Probably the best one I have ever been in. It stimulates a big ocean wave as good as the real thing.

Has a min…read moreheight requirement of 42 inches to ride alone and 36 inches to ride with a companion so this makes this a very fun and kid friendly water adventure. Long time staple of Kentucky kingdom. At the old six flags theme park it had a Batman theme and was called the "penguin" I believe after the famed Batman villain. Pretty cool group tube ride that takes you over small waterfall bumps and falling water. Not too many bid drops so you won't necessarily get drenched but you will get wet. Overall I really like this ride. It's a nice combo on a hot day of you want to cool off and don't want to suit up and head to hurricane bay. I'm glad this ride was resurrected for when Kentucky kingdom reopened a few years ago.

Deep water Dive is an intense, nerve racking and very fun body slide ride at the hurricane bay…read moreportion of Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. This massive body slide is one of the worlds largest and is 12 stories tall and features a 377 foot drop with 121 feet of it coming at a 70 degree angle. I've rode this body slide multiple times and each time it doesn't get any less nerve inducing. First off you climb an insane amount of steps. For those who count steps you will get them by riding this ride. At the top you have a platform that offers beautiful views of the city and park. However on some days with a slight wind you will sway back and forth which adds to the thrill and unsettling feeling. The workers put you in a plastic tube casing and you stand up against a backboard with your arms and feet crossed. Below your feet's is a clear see through floor that will momentarily be removed from underneath you. As stated the first half of this slide is practically straight down. So if you fear heights do not look down. The machine has a 3...2...1 countdown but that isn't what triggers the floor being opened. The operators hit a button so there is no timing and bracing yourself for the fall. Some workers have some fun with it and drop you at different parts or pretend it's stuck and then let you fall. They of course still make sure you are in there properly and safe. The drop itself will literally take your breath away. Most of the time by time I can recollect my thoughts or breath I'm on the backstretch at high speeds and water is splashing me in the face. I personally love this ride. The epitome of a thrill ride. As stated Above. If you or your little ones do not do heights or scare easy then this isn't for you. It's no fun climbing the steps and I can imagine it wouldn't be fun climbing back down if you get up there and decide against it (happens a lot). The ride itself does have a min height requirement of 48 inches and max weight of 300lbs. It is a single rider so you are by yourself. The first time I took my kids alone I was stuck with "do I go first and hope they don't chicken out or do I go second and hope they don't freak out at the bottom or wander off". So just some things to consider before riding. Overall 5 star experience for me. Fun, thrilling and my absolute favorite water park attraction in the hurricane bay section. If they got me an elevator lift to the top id be more inclined to ride it back to back to back.

The exhibits has always had a rotation of different animals including my favorite animal at the whole zoo the orangutan. He has always been very active and interactive.

This exhibit has been around at least since I was a kid so it isn't newer but it it still holds up. Overall I'm a fan of Thai area. Always the fists thing we visit at the Lousiville zoo as we always tend to walk in and go to the right. Also one of my all time favorites of my oldest daughter (now a teenager) on her first zoo trip getting very excited to see an orangutan.
