We went here a few months ago to celebrate my boys' birthday and this place was so neat! I didn't…read moreknow what to expect because I've never heard of this place. However, we were gifted a Groupon so that's how we knew about OUAC. When we went it was a cloudy and rainy day so it wasn't crowded at all, which was nice. The place was unique because it had many different stations and activities for your kids to play. It's like a huge Montessori playground. My boys loved the train ride and riding on the dinosaurs the most. I like that the place includes both indoor and outdoor stations. The place seems rather small compared to an amusement park like Six Flags, but it's just enough. Kids can easily spend 30 minutes - 1 hour in just one location so I really like how they can enjoy their time and casually play without parents feeling overwhelmed to get everything done to maximize the amount of money spent. We didn't host a birthday party here, but there were other parties booked. I don't know how much it costs, but let me say that the decorations were beautiful! I'm not sure if it was included or if the parents decorated themselves, but if you wanted to go all out for your child, you certainly can. The staff were also ALL super sweet and friendly! The place plans for everything, like rain. They had numerous umbrellas for patrons to use within the grounds. When it started to rain, all the staff were asking if we needed umbrellas, and one even was willing to run in the rain to get us one! Seriously, I've never seen such hospitality in an establishment from everyone! I also would recommend going here on a weekend because according to their website, more stations and activities are open during that time. Even if it's more crowded, I think it is worth it. If you want to do something different for your child, then I would recommend this place!

Big Rivers is great about offering reasonable pricing for families and they sponsor many nights where they spotlight groups, offering deep discounts. Parking was free. Finding a good parking spot was easy. If you got a special event, bring your walking shoes because there is a lot to see and do. Lots of activities including a petting zoo, carnival rides, axe throwing, inflatables, and more. We like that they have none of the carnival midway games that take your money for a modest prize. They offer lots of food options ranging from carnival fare like funnel cakes to regular food. Prices are what you would expect. The staff is pretty friendly, lots of young people but enough of the older folks to keep things running smoothly. Overall, it's a relatively inexpensive way to celebrate the holidays, giving you lots to do, see, and enjoy without breaking the bank.

Pretty cool, fun spot for all to enjoy. We went on the Waterpark day where tickets were $25 and the…read moreplace was packed! Luckily people were finishing up and leaving by the time we were getting settled in. Good to know: You can bring an unopened/sealed water bottle or an empty reusable bottle and get it filled with ice and water inside. Free parking is available at the second entrance and the walk isn't bad at all. There are locker rentals in the bathrooms but also at 2 other locations near the pool chairs. There's only 1 family restroom, that I saw, and the stalls aren't large enough for changing clothes privately and comfortably. So come dressed and leave with an extra dry towel or swim cover lol. After going through the check in we put our things on the pool chair and got in the lazy river. After tubing around we got in line for the water slide. Then we finished up at the wave pool. All were fun and not overwhelming. There were enough pool floats to go around. And the staff were keeping the place clean. Afterwards we grabbed a personal pizza & soda from their stand which weren't too costly. They also have a BBQ restaurant available too. The only unfortunate parts was trying to eat with the yellow jacket bees around. There were so many getting on the food and drinks. And the bathroom not having private changing areas. There were amusement rides available too but we didn't have time for it. Upon leaving, the guy that's often seen on their social media posts (I don't know his position) was waving and saying goodbye to everyone. I thought that was a really nice southern hospitality gesture.

Don Allen Holbrook the Earthquest theme park Economic Developer has lost his credentials. This…read morebillion dollar park will never get off of paper. Though he has claimed 100s of successful projects worth billions that created 50,000 jobs, the truth is that he warmed a chair on a loan board. Holbrook has not had a successful project he worked on in over a decade. Before that he was fired from 2 Economic Developer positions and not renewed for a third. He sued 1 that fired him for obvious resume fraud and threatend the other that fired him. in 2007 he filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy writing off 1.29 million in legal fees alone. In 2011 he filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy. During all this time his LLCs raked in at least 1.2 million dollars on the Earthquest international destination theme park that exists only on paper. Holbrook had a hand in every pie which smacks of conflict of interest. The originator of the ides, the developer, the designer, Baker Liesure, The East Montgomery County Improvement District and the phony charity (set up to promote the for profit theme park--not a legitimate charitable function) all paid this clown. His "Public Private Partnership" was nothing more than a way to line his pockets handsomely while the taxpayers unknowingly took all the risk. This theme park from hell will costs the taxpayers 24 million dollars if it never comes to fruition. Don Allen Holbrook sued the Houston Press, Craig Malisow, The Tribune, Cynthia Calvert, The Pahrump Valley Times, all the taxpayers who dared to comment on the waste of tax dollars and me. He was tossed out of court for lack of jurisdiction in 2012 as I predicted. He has never filed in Texas where he would have had jurisdiction. So, the taxpayers in Texas were wining and dining Holbrook on numerous extravagant trips all over the world for bupkis. Huber Heights Ohio sued him and Pahrump, Nevada ran him out after spending over a quarter million for silly studies. Holbrook wrote of his success with Earthquest in his book Where is My Smokestack in 2008. How is a 24 million dollar debacle that exists only on paper a success? Holbrook went on to bray about other non-existent or exaggerated deals. Holbrook talks a good game, but when asked to provide documentation goes off on an angry rant. He no longer has his Economic Developer credentials for good reason: Dear Ms. Dobrott, In doing my preliminary review I've discovered that Don Holbrook's membership and CEcD status lapsed a few years ago. He is no longer a member of IEDC (and therefore no longer a Fellow Member) and no longer holds the CEcD designation. We currently have no relationship with Don Holbrook and so cannot put this case in front of our Committee on Professional Conduct.

I really loved that even adults can join in--sliding, jumping, and just having a good time right along with the kids. Because it was a Tuesday night, it wasn't crowded at all, which made the experience even better. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and enjoy themselves without feeling overwhelmed. The party itself was great. There were lots of kids, pizza provided by the venue, and a variety of treats like cake pops and other sweets that were made by the birthday girl's mom--everything was nicely done and enjoyable. The pizza was actually good, which is always a plus at kids' parties. The staff was pretty decent--nice and friendly--and the restrooms were clean. My only small complaint is that the restrooms didn't have paper towels, only hand dryers, which I personally don't love. Other than that, everything was good. The boys went home full, happy, and satisfied. All in all, it was a great way to spend a Tuesday night, and I'd definitely recommend Slick City Action Park for a kids' party or just some active family fun.
