Absolutely delightful. Saw Last of the Last Red Hot Lovers. Was not a fan of the play, felt it was…read moredated even though the director added some current relevant touches, however, the cast was awesome! The talent and professionalism was notwithstanding. I moved to the Gulf Coast a year ago from Chicago and we had not only professional theatre, local theater and community theater. Downstage Productions is truly a very authentic and professional theater with heart. The actors are comfortable in their roles and execute their characters with style, grace and conviction. Again, while I felt the play was tired, the actors were not. The four in this play brought joy, excitement and laughter into each of their roles. I will definitely be a return theater goer to this awesome community project.

This space is absolutely gorgeous. The staff cleaned the venue before the event to be sure that it…read morewas clean. They made sure that we saw them because they knew that it was a big day for us. We struggled a little in the beginning because of the contract, and the manager of the facility was a stickler for by the book, but other than that we had a wonderful event. It was safe and beautiful just as the others were before ours. We had heard scary stories, but our nerves were calmed after seeing for ourselves. We have even come back to do community events here. We realize why everyone comes to this place. Miss Sheena was very helpful and made sure that we understood things and how they worked. She was also great at helping us plan and have resources. She was patient even when we were freaking out. Hope this helps!

We make a couple or three treks to this water park every summer and the majority of our experiences…read morehave been A-OK. It's located in Gulfport, MS very near the interstate, which makes it very easy to get to. You can buy your tickets online, at the counter or through a discount online ticket seller - which is what I did for our last visit. I was able to save $11 per ticket. They open at 10:00 and I suggest getting there early because it gets crowded in the afternoon. The employees check all bags before you are admitted into the park, and I appreciate their concern for everyone's safety. Once in you can find a lounger, or table and chairs with an umbrella. This is your best option, as it gets hella hot out there. I've only been able to snag one a couple of times. They're a popular item for good reason. Now for the fun stuff: There's a large wave pool that pushes you into the lazy river. There are entrances and exits along the lazy river where you can hop in or out to move around the park on foot. If you're a water slider, and who isn't, you're in luck. There are several and they're pretty nice. You can ride alone or in pairs on most of them. There's also one of those huge racing slides. It's fast and I really get a kick out of it If you plan to eat there plan on spending a few bucks. At the main cafes they serve pizza, hot dogs, grilled chicken, burgers and chicken tenders. I had a grilled chicken sandwich on our most recent visit and it was actually quite tasty. There are two sets of restrooms and one of them was out of commission on our last trip. It seems that one of the toilets had overflowed. The other bathroom only has 2 stalls so it was kind of a cluster. It's in the building where the changing rooms are located. The ladies' rooms are always as clean as they can be in a water park, I guess. Other notes - there are lockers available for a fee, there's a gift shop for necessities, dippin dots truck, sweets "booth" that serves ice cream, funnel cakes, etc., taco truck, and cabanas that can be rented for a fee. I think my favorite thing about Gulf Islands is that it's not enormous and I can usually keep tabs on the kiddos without too much hassle. I'm quite the helicopter mom, so that's important me.

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
