    Cape Splash has so much potential. There are numerous tall and twisty slides, which are an absolute…read moreblast. And height limits are low enough for my 5 yo to go on most of them. There are also areas for littler kids, like the splash pad and pirate ship. Lastly, the concessions area is fairly affordable; you can get a whole pizza for $10, and popsicles for $1. But, there are some major issues, too. First, Cape Splash is expensive. My 2 yo cost $9. Most places don't even charge for kids that little. Our family of five cost $47 total. Woof. Second, cleanliness is the worst problem. At the base of the tall slides, sludge has accumulated. And there are rocks and debris at the bottom of almost everything. The locker rooms? Disgusting. One of my kids said he'd rather change in the car. Broken urinal, an inch of standing water in spots, etc. Overall, three stars. Would love to give more. But cost and cleanliness MUST improve.

    So the pictures you'll see on the website are probably from when it was built 10ish years ago…read more Weeds everywhere, rocks scattered, faded paint. Staff are rude and act like they can't be bothered to answer a question. Bathrooms are disgusting. This place is small...(if you've ever been to a hotel in Orlando....it's about the size of their hotel pools/resorts) BUT NOT NEARLY as clean, or well kept. Also, unruly kids running, throwing rocks, etc and the lifeguards do nothing. It's insane. The locals seem to love this place...but if you've ever been to ANY OTHER "waterpark" - you'd know it's seriously lacking. There is another one in St Genieve (almost an hour north) that is newer, cleaner, and better staff.

    Wow this place is exactly as I remember although it was different only because we went in the…read moremiddle of the week after 4pm and there were no lines whatsoever!! They have a twilight summer deal where tickets are around $35/person and $20 for basic parking. Parking wasn't an issue because there was practically no one there and we were so close. There is a security check point now. Sad. We got in right away and rode the Batman -- used to be a favorite but all got off and had a headache. Mr Freeze changed back in 2013 where you start in reverse now so you can see yourselves go up that drop and fall. Our lives flashed before our eyes for sure. With no break in between rides I lost my equilibrium and had to sit out for American thunder and the boss. Nothing sold but sugar drinks. We found Powerade at a stand for $5, no lids, no straws. Nothing but sugar and made my headache even worse. The place was bought out by enchanted parks. I've heard mixed things but apparently they will be making changes or adding new rides next year? We shall see!

    Hurricane Harbor I would give a one. I didn't see an entry just for the water park so I am…read morecombining both in one review. We only stayed 2 hours as it was hot as hell, there is no shade, most rides/slides were not open, there are no water refilling bottle stations, they did not honor our drink passes or icee passes so we were dehydrated and exhausted from the heat. Pros: the wave pool is cool. Tornado was fun, Big Kahuna was fun. I have Prestige pass so got to park close. Cons: there is no raft lift for the rafts for Tornado. You have to walk a super far distance to the pool and carry a 4 person raft down a long path and up 4 flights of stairs. I was by myself with a 10 year old. I basically dragged the raft down the path and up the stairs. The ride was not busy (when they 1st opened) and the life guard took pity on me and met me down a flight of stairs to help. Typhoon twister and wahoo racer were closed. We rode 1 tube slide each as I did not feel it was worth walking up the stairs to go on the other colors of slides. Rented a locker for $15 and the lockers have hinges that swing them closed so you have to prop something in them to keep it open. The changing area (for women) looks like something out of a horror movie. They say they want you to shower before getting in anything but the showers don't work. The changing stalls have paper thin shower curtains on them that don't close, are ripped or gape. Inside the changing stalls are littered with the hygiene liners from swim suits. So disgusting. The bathroom I used while there was basically the same. Did not go in or on anything other than what is listed above. Would not honor drink passes for regular drinks. Honored my kid's icee pass by just handing them a cup, because they could not figure it out. Had one Icee, drank the water in the bottle we brought and left. Day 2 we went to Six Flags. We have the all season fast pass, so got in, got passes and were off. These rides are on fast pass: 1. Rode Batman. Good ride. 2. Rode Ninja. That was rough. Unless you know how to position your head you will get a headache. 3. Rode River King Mine Train-this is a step above a kiddie coaster. 4. Rode American thunder it was meh. 5.Rode Mr. Freeze and enjoyed it and wanted to ride again but they were not allowing us in with the fast passes so we left. 6. Pandemonium-this says it has fast lane we couldn't find it. It was a short ride and meh. I don't particularly like spinning coasters. 7. Thunder river got soaked which was fine it was hot. 8. Log flume was the saddest log flume ever. It was hard to hold on in the boats and it goes around nothing. Nothing scenic just meandering around water tubes on the ground 9. Screaming Eagle-rode for the nostalgia. 3 generations of my family have rode this ride. It wasn't as rough as we thought it would be. 10. The boss-this was the roughest, most painful wooden roller coaster I have ever ridden. I had bruises all over my legs from being tossed side to side on it. Regret it x a million. 11. Catwoman's whip-best ride of the park. Would have rode a million times but it was higher in the park (walking up hill) it was hot, we had no water, no shade and were too tired to trek up there. Rides that were closed: 12. Justice League-had been looking forward to being out of the sun in the a/c but no joy 13. Spinsanity-we were told it was hit by lightening 14. Shazam (this is a basic scrambler) 15. Sky Screamer 16. Supergirl Sky Flyer Rides we skipped cause it was hot, we don't like that ride style or something similar in our home park: 17. Boomerang (neither of us like this style of ride) The Boomerang we rode at SFDK was ROUGH so we don't want to ride any of these 18. Fireball-this honestly looks like a fair ride. No one was on it 19. Colossus (ferris wheel) 20. The Buccaneer 21. The Joker: Carnival of Chaos We spent about 3-4 hours here and ultimately left because it was hot, lack of shade, only one refillable water bottle station and since 25% of the rides were closed and 4 we had no interest in. Up close parking was amazing. Loved that. I will not be returning to this park as it is now managed by Enchanted and the only reason I visited this year was because it was the last year I could with my SF pass. I remember enjoying coming here as a kid and am not sure if it is just the fact that I grew up, time or life experience that took some of the magic this place once held for me. I don't regret coming but it wasn't the fun experience I had in mind. Also issues with using our drink pass, hardly any where had icees, the one place that did honored the pass but it was the only one we got.

    I visited to take an outdoor evening Summer water aerobics class. The Aquatic Center is really big…read morewith lots of fun areas. There is a lazy river, swimming areas (of course), lap lanes, diving boards, a fake tree with a rope swing, water slides, lounging areas and a concession area that sells food and drinks. Lots of lifeguards around. There are also pickle ball courts, a playground and bathrooms across the parking lot. The part I didn't love was the women's bathrooms/shower room. They were old and kind of gross. The lockers themselves are outside the bathrooms and are on the small size- bring your own lock! Also there is no outside food or drinks allowed. (Nobody hassled me about my water bottle for class, but technically the center was mostly closed at that point.) I think this would be really fun for families.

    Perfect! Such a…read moregreat aquapark, full of fun things to do! From toddlers to adults I think this place is a great place to go to swim or just even lounge around. I went several times with a twelve year old and a fifteen year old and we all had so much fun. It fills up quickly on nice days so don't wait until you feel it's prime time to go to the pool, you will not get the best seats in the house and the place kind of crowds up quickly. From the pool to the swinging rope to the little snack bar, you will have a great time and won't be disappointed I'm sure. Oh, and can you say Doggie Dive In?? Don't forget to bring your four legged friend the day/weekend after labor day. Our pups always have a fantastic time!
