Horrible experience solely due to the arrogant, insulting, disrespectful, condescending, and frankly illogically stupid "head of security" under Britney Teagues or Britney T. First off there are not nearly enough bathrooms, especially in the adult bar section. Second, when we asked for one, we were told to go out the glass doors. When we tried coming back in a security guard magically appeared saying we had to go back around to the front even though there was no signage saying we had to and despite the actual waterpark staff telling us to use that bathroom. When we asked for the manager that's when Britney T showed up. Incredibly rude, absolutely abysmal customer service by Britney the head of security. She showed up with aggressive attitude, escalating instead of calming the situation, telling, telling us we lacked common sense. She said she wasn't responsible for us not seeing the sign until we left (what the fuck, her logic is room temp iq levels) and that's the way it was. She made my girlfriend feel u safe and forced her to go around to the entrance again. She even said some ridiculous crazy hyperbole about how we might have razor blades in bathing suits, so we were a security risk that necessitated us to go back around. Truly horrible experience due solely to arbitrary, violent, rude worst staff on the planet. Let this serve as a warning to all Latinos and minorities, this park will disrespect you and treat you like trash, don't spend your money here. read more

We went on a rainy Sunday and expected it to be crowded, but we seriously underestimated just how packed it would get. We arrived right when the park opened at noon and were lucky enough to find a spot to put our things and let the kids eat. For about the first hour, we had a good time, but after that the park became overwhelmingly crowded. We got in line for the tube slides and waited about 40 minutes. During that time, we noticed there were long lines for absolutely everything the body slides, the lazy river, and even just getting tubes for the tube slides. Some of the delays seemed to come from a lack of organization, but honestly the biggest issue was simply overcrowding. By the time we got off the ride, it was difficult to even move across the park. People were leaving their belongings everywhere, and the water in the main pool which seemed to be the only pool for everyone had even changed color from how crowded and overused it was. What was most surprising was that even as the park became nearly impossible to navigate, people were still continuing to come in. It honestly made us question whether the park was properly monitoring or respecting capacity limits at all. read more

I had a blast here!! This was our 1st time visiting. We traveled over 2 hours to get here and I don't regret it. We came on Good Friday. I had the bright idea that it would be empty, but sadly it was the opposite. I should've known better considering it's during Spring Break for some. Nonetheless I didn't mind the wait, it's no different than any other waterpark. The food was definitely overpriced but I also understand that AC doesn't get much traction outside of their peak seasons. We will definitely be returning and I'm going to aim to get there right when they open!! read more

Island Waterpark - The banner when you 1st walk in. By the security check point. - Water Parks Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

We tried the waterpark at Showboat since we were there for the overnight stay on Saturday. We got a ticket online, since we read that I could easily get a discount code or discounts online. Sure enough we got $40 price for each instead of regular price of 60. The park was okay, small in size, and we did go to the slides, so we basically stayed mostly at the lazy river and the adult-only section with a pool with a bar attached to it. We also went outside since they were doing something with a machine creating bubbles, so we checked it out. Overall it was okay, but a little disappointing since there was no wave pool. They have a food place, but it would cost about $20 per person to get something like a burger, fries, and a drink. I was okay since we were able to get a discount, but at full price I would not have enjoyed it as much. read more

I enjoyed myself at this water park!It has a gr8 variety of water slides so there's plenty to keep you entertained only if you're a big kid like me. There is also a lazy river & pool which are nice additions. The only downside is that it doesn't have an adult hot tub or a wave pool which are usually nice features to have at a water park. However, they do have a full bar right in the water, which was a really cool & unique touch. I tried the chicken tenders & fries @ the Aloha Cafe.The chicken tenders were huge,crunchy,& flavorful. The fries came out sizzling hot. Not bad for a waterpark. Overall, it's a fun spot with lots of slides to enjoy,a lazy river, pool, & a cool bar but it could be even better w/ a few more amenities. read more

I've been to places like Great Wolf, American Dream, Kalahari, and Camelbeach, so I was honestly surprised at how small Island Waterpark felt , especially because it looks so big from the outside. I will say though, it's pretty inside. The waterfall when you first walk in gives it a nice vibe. The place was clean and my kids had fun on the slides, so that's a plus. The swim up bar is spacious, which I liked. And their drinks were good. Especially the chili mango one. As an adult I was kind of bored. I was really hoping for a hot tub or a wave pool, and it was disappointing that they didn't have either. At least the lazy river was 3ft deep, I've been to shallower ones that scraped my knee. The food and drinks were definitely overpriced. Also, it felt colder than expected, which took away from the experience a bit. I went on a Friday, so luckily it wasn't overcrowded, which made it more enjoyable. Overall, it was cool to try something new since my kids love waterparks, but it's not somewhere I'd come back to. read more

We stayed at Showboat and checked out their Island Waterpark--definitely a fun family add-on! The lazy river and water slides were our favorites. Wholesome family fun for sure, though honestly, one day here is plenty (three days felt like overkill). We also tried the FlowRider, which simulates a giant wave you can ride. Signing a waiver made sense, and while the lines were long, nobody was rushed during their turn. Big shoutout to the attendant who walked us through it step by step--such a neat experience. My only complaint: at the adults-only pool, I ordered a frozen Frappuccino drink from the swim-up bar after seeing it on a big ad, but the bartender said they don't serve it there. If that's the case, please take the ad down--it's misleading. All in all, great family memories, solid service, and a cool mix of attractions. Would definitely return, just for a shorter stay next time. read more

Been here three times. Had wonderful experience all three times. The check in staff is friendly, and so is park staff including security. The park includes a lazy river, slides including two mega slides, a sprinkle park and an adult only swimming pool with swim up bar and separate bar. It also includes cabanas that can be purchased separately through out the park. One Friday, they had music in the adult section. It has Seating, beach chairs (flow rider section) and restaurants. (I think the food was over priced but it was nice and fresh) I had chicken tenders and fries that were priced at $20. It also has a wave rider section I think that's additional. I also notice my last visit it's a bar in the middle also of the lazy river with two floors the top bar was closed. (My second visit my gf lost her wedding ring and glass and I was impressed with the staff and strangers help her look for it. It was found. I recommend you keep your valuables in the lockers there. They have two sizes. I think ten and 15. 15 is a nice size for a medium/large tote. The locker room are near the bathrooms and they were nice and clean and even included a person in there. They mop the floors a lot. My only concern was the floor stay wet and I recommend slides or swim shoes. The second time I forgot my slides and I also fell a few times without shoes on in the locker room because the floor is quite slippery. The first time I went with a group. The second time with a friend and the third time alone. Your band gives you all day admission. Adult and kid friendly. Planning to coming back before the summer is over with family. Also a nice place to have a party adult or kid! read more

We have been to Island Waterpark twice- once shortly after it opened summer 2023 and August 2025. The waterpark is open all year round and is indoor/outdoor. The ceiling opens up or closes depending on the weather. The park is good for all ages - toddlers through adults. They have a little kiddie slide and 3 ft pool. There is a lazy river which is good for the entire family. Then they have slides of various heights. The BIG slide is has a minimum height requirement (it's 42 inches) and maximum weight of 300 lbs. The park is kept rather clean. Lifeguard staff are very alert and have great communication to ensure everyone remains safe. If you plan ahead, you can get tickets for the waterpark slightly cheaper on Groupon, but you have to purchase more than 1 day before going. If you purchase your tickets through the hotel, you get free parking, so that's a plus. The food is extremely expensive. We make sure to have a good breakfast/lunch before entering the park then we will share a snack of chicken tenders and fries to hold us over and grab dinner outside the park afterwards. Example- 1 pizza is $40 read more

I've been here twice, and the adult section is hands down the best part. I spent most of my time there because it was relaxing and not overcrowded. The lazy river was also a highlight perfect for unwinding and taking a break from the more hectic areas of the park. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed by the kid-heavy sections. read more

So I went back and forth of wanting to give this establishment 4 or 3 stars and I settled for 3 stars since my cons list was slightly lengthier. Let's start with what made this a great experience for my daughter who was celebrating her birthday. Pros: They had a small, small kids area. It included just one slide for them and the kids pool but my little one still had a blast on that slide a million times! The facility was clean and roomy as there wasn't a lot of people there for that weekend. The adults only area with a swim up bar truly felt like a vacation location. Discount tickets including parking it's the best way to go to save money. Lifeguards are focused and abundant. Cons: Parking is challenging and not straight forward. The check in location from the parking garage is not intuitive as the signs are misleading. The experience was also self serve for the most part from the parking to the lockers which is bothersome as no one besides lifeguards or the front desk was around to answer questions. The hotel itself was unkept and needs some deep cleaning. Lastly it was too COLD! I could only imagine what deep winter would feel like at this indoor water park. read more

Fun indoor water park. Lots of water slides, lazy river, kids area, adult area and much more. Plenty of seating. If you park in the lot, it is $30 beware of this-you need to scan the QR code to pay. The food is pricey. We ordered a whole pizza for $30, you can add up to 4 toppings. There is ice cream, hot dogs, fries, chicken tenders, and drinks. Life jackets for kids. There is gift shop and an arcade. There is also alcohol for the adults. There are lockers and showers. This is our second time coming to the waterpark. We love it here. Get coupons on Groupon. Pizza was good. We recommend this place for water park fun. Enjoy! read more

This Waterpark might be the most crowded/Ghetto waterpark there is but then again I should expect that from AC. The kids pool is so small and the lazy river is so unorganized. Mind you, I came at twilight and still spent $130 for 4 , I can only imagine what it looks like when you first opens. A kid vomit in the pool and then they close the pool for the rest of the remainder of our time there. If I could give it a zero I would. I will not be coming back ever. read more

This is a decent waterpark. It has a flow rider, wave pool, a tot spot, slides and lazy river. I like the layout. Food is pretty decent too. Pizza, salads, giant pretzel, chicken fingers etc. If you are coming with more than 4 I suggest renting the cabana. There are a variety of picnic type tables along with square top. But space is limited. I do not like the check in location then having to walk about 2-3mins to enter the park. They will search bags. There are daily lockers. The changing areas lack space. Paid $59/pp for the day plus parking. Was here for about 2-3hrs. Adults and kids wear different colored bands. I will say though, people need to have better manners in the lazy River. The facility should make check in and entry flow better. read more

Oh man, what positive things can I say about this place? It was the utmost terrible place to visit for an indoor water park. The casino that they look over was already run down and I'm not sure if they even renovated the casino itself besides building the water park area. There was an enormous amount of people to the point where to get from one side of the water park to the other it took about 10 minutes from just the amount of foot traffic walking around. The pool that they had was extremely small and with so many people everyone just stood in their spot in the pool because you couldn't get anywhere. If you consider going to island water park...go somewhere else. Considering they advertise as the biggest water park in New Jersey, save your money because the 1 water slide that they have is not worth it. read more

My family and I had an absolute great time at this waterpark. We went on a Friday as soon as they opened and there were no wait times. Our kids went on all the slides multiple times with no wait. My husband and I were also pleasantly surprised when we were told that the adult area was included with the regular admission. We got to enjoy the swim up bar, and the bartender there was super nice. Make sure to ask if there are any drink specials available, on this day they had a bucket special of 5/$25. The park was clean and well kept, even the bathroom. Didn't have any of the food but they have a few options available. We'll definitely visit again. read more

Bye far the best interaction we ever had at the waterpark with a lifeguard named Brandon on the flow Rider. He not only explained to the kids on how to get on but once they were riding he showed them tricks and fun things to do even played rock paper. Scissors shoots with The Kids. hands down! A round of applause goes to you, Brandon read more

What a waste of a trip. This would have been fine for some teenagers, but for my grade school added kids it sucked. There's one sad slide for the young kids and that's about it. The water and an ambient temperate of the building was cold. We were really uncomfortable out of the water. Oh and YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS! Never in my life have I heard of such a thing for an indoor water park. We ended up buying one for $22 and sharing it with four people. Save your money and go to great wolf lodge. read more

Terrible experience extremely over crowded. 45 minute line just for lazy river. 30 min line for food and no where to eat it! People were saving tables with their belongings to enjoy the park and then saving the dining tables in the food section as well so when you purchase for you had nowhere to eat. One bathroom combined with a locker room with over 20 minute line for bathroom. This also only includes two changing stalls in the bathroom for the entire park. Temperature made it really uncomfortable out of the water. Oh and YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS! read more

I'm a huge fan of waterparks and this one doesn't disappoint. We paid for VIP access to the "adults only" bar area which was nice because we wouldn't have had access to chairs otherwise. The cocktails back there are pricey but good. Lazy river is nice and long. Slides are all awesome but my tube did get stuck in one, I forget which, and I had to be rescued. Embarrassing. There's a good selection of food, mostly pizza /chicken/hot dogs for when you get hungry. It's not 5-star cuisine but satisfying when you've been swimming. read more

Honestly the price we paid was high, most of the staff rude, over crowded . People cutting in line staff allowing it and the water was dirty!!! Everyone in my family left with a rash on their bodies. parking was so expensive it was for my entire family was a horrible experience read more

Would recommend getting here early and not going on the weekends. Prepare to spend $$$ on food that's is mediocre at best but you're so drained from the air and water around, you will want to eat lol. Kids had a great time. Wished there was more comfortable seating for adults. Family restrooms were decent. Main gripe- changing room has NO hooks or a bench :( soooooo I'm guessing just put your things on the wet floor, smh, they need to revamp a few things locker/changing room area. Overall a good time, spent about 5 hrs here, would come again! read more

Let's start with the fact that they don't have a chaperone fee I had to pay $90 to sit and watch my kids play, which is ABSURD!! Then they didn't even bother to share the fact that there's a coupon code As soon as I sat down and logged into Instagram a darn coupon code ad pops up....UGHHHH!! I could've paid $104 for 2 tickets instead of 180!!! I'm not sure what the capacity is but it's super crowded and looking at the chaos of lazy river gave me anxiety!!! Then there are 2 pools, one that is included in admission but looks more like a kiddie pool and then the former ADULTS Only pool that's an extra $10 All in all, my niece and little cousin enjoyed themselves and with a decent coupon, I'd probably bring them back. read more

Absolutely enjoyed an awesome time today at Showboats' Island Water Park! Multiple reasons for my statement include: Great layout, fully staffed, fun decor with an assortment of water attractions. The Waterpark provided sections for all ages, all welcoming with staff available to answer and assist its fun loving guests. I observed a variety of offers and discounts. I observed the safety measures. I observed all age groups. Mostly I felt and heard laughter. Thanks Showboat Management. Marietta N. read more

Dirty, dangerous, understaffed..... I'm sure they will be closed down in 6 months. Not a huge crowd for a Saturday by any means and lines for the larger slides were extremely long due to the fact that there was one lifeguard responsible to get people situated on 3 slides. On top of that, they required every rider to be weighed on a bathroom scale....children and adults. I understand there are weight limits, but there is some judgement by the attendant that should be allowed. I've been going to indoor water parks in the Northeast for 15+ years and was never as disappointed as I was here. I do not recommend this park. read more

Simply AMAZING !!! They have an adult only private area where you can also rent your own cabana for the day , the pool is heated and has a swim up bar . The staff is friendly and helpful . They have lockers if you need one and a cute little gift shop with some nice things . We got the paradise island ticket with a private cabana and the whole experience was great from the moment we walked on . We had a vip line and they walked us right to our cabana . Amazing experience. You must try !!! read more

Me and my friends went over spring break and it was so crowded. there was also a very foul smell throughout the entire park. the life guard in the lazy river watched my friend be trapped underwater and didn't help. the lazy river was a crazy war zone. it was extremely over crowded. the crowd was also really rude. overall the experience was just crazy and overcrowded. read more

Well, is it fun for sure. We had 3 children under 4 and there really aren't that many things for little kids to do other than the lazy river or the pool or just run around and get the bucket poured on you. Which is fine - but it is a lot of $ to do that. Beyond that we were there for 2 days - on Saturday it was lovely. On Sunday it was CHAOS. it literally was so many people and I actually worried about fire hazards. My own mom waited in a line for 50 minutes to get ice cream. No joking. We couldn't get tubes on the lazy river and then when we did - it was just FULL of people on the lazy river. If you had a young child on the lazy river- no go. This place could be amazing we just have to halt the total amount of people coming in a little bit. read more

Island Waterpark - Water Parks Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

It's overpriced to say the least. It is very full on the weekends. overall had an okay time but wouldn't consider visiting again.

So. I paid $35 pp with the Groupon. Brought two boys (13,10) We waited in line for an hour before actually getting into the waterpark. They don't have enough counter help. We got here at 12:15 (they open at noon) and into the waterpark by 1:15. The waterpark is clean and not crowded. Plenty of areas to chill (I'm not getting wet) I packed a book to read. I think it's outrageous to ban outside food and only have one food stand open. The line is so long to even just get a soda/water. Don't try to smuggle in any food/drinks, the bag search was like TSA. Overall I'm glad I only paid $35 pp because we will leave when we get hungry. I would do it again for the same price. read more

This was the worst waterpark I'd ever been to. I took my son and his friends there to celebrate his 9th birthday, we had a terrible experience. The water was freezing and when we mentioned it to the staff we were told there is nothing they could do. The children were shivering and of two of them lips were turning blue. The overall temperature in the waterpark was breezy not 80 degrees as advertised. Everyone was kicked out of the water every 10 by the staff, none of the attractions were working so they were subjected to the lazy river only and as I previously stated they had to get out every 10 mins. They claim to have had a "power outage" which should have been communicated at the time of admission because I would have saved my $702.72 that I pad for admission. This waterpark is not worth your time or money go somewhere else. DO NOT waste your time. read more

Wouldn't let my dogs play here let alone my children. Dirty, understaffed, and over crowded. We arrived at 1pm with all day passes and were denied entry til 3 because they were overbooked. I also watched a women be physically assaulted in the bathroom. It smelled like poop and dirty diapers horribly. It was absolutely horrible. The water is murky. You couldn't pay me to get in. read more

Way too much money for way too little to do! Just spent $200 plus for my kids to enjoy it for less than two hours. Our kids are 14 so maybe because they're teenagers they have less interest than the little ones but considering they did everything in less than an hour it seems quite expensive for what it is. $80 plus tax a ticket on a Saturday then $20 for a locker then $50 to eat... it's crazy for us as we're not made of money and will not be back. This is not worth the value. Really disappointing. read more

I was quite happy with my experience at the Island water park on 10/18. Parking was a bit of a pain/unintuitive but the park itself was pretty well worth my dollar. The site says that there are 11 water slides but the number is really more like 4, as they count 5-6 of them that are all in the kids area that are all pretty demure. Not allowing outside food or drinks is a bit of a killer since the only beverages or food in the park are pretty gouged, but that's to be expected. I thought the flow rider attraction was quite fun. Definitely something I'd want to try again. Good place to spend a day if you have younger children! Lazy river is also pretty nice too. read more

This review is based on my two visits. The first visit is when they first opened. The space is limited to the point where I am unsure why they built a water park so small but yet it holds a capacity of 3200ish. When it's near its full capacity it is gross!!!! It felt like I paid to go into a public park. GHETTO Like I knew my kid had to be swimming in pee. The "pool" section is the tiniest pool that you can ever have in a water park and was over populated. The WATER was NOT clear and was EXTREMELY CLOUDY. I called my child out as soon as I walked over to check on where she begged me to go. (She remembers it being empty on our first visit) I'm not sure if the creators didn't think that the water park would get so much traction but it's clear that a lot was not thought through. This may be their down fall They must be paying the inspector a pretty penny how this plan stays open after my second visit. The bathrooms to change were GROSSSSSSSSS. You had to be stepping in dripped water on the floor and piss. They were only about 4 shower stalls, five restrooms on the woman's side and no rinse station. Remember I said its capacity is for 3200ish. I would never go back. They should consider lowering the price because you are NOT getting what you paid for. ONE bartender at each bar. They did their best! If you came to spectate, this place was not created with you in mind. You would not find a seat so you'll be standing. I only gave it two stars because my child enjoyed herself. read more

Whatever you do do not come here. It's nothing but LONG LINES. You bought a ticket? Here's a line to get a wristband. This line, no it does not move. You got a wristband?
