Everyone seems to have their complaint about this place. But when you look at the big picture its a…read morewash. Look how many families are coming in and out of this place. The percentage of negative reviews is probably not a blip on the great scheme of things. People always writes reviews when something negative happens but when things go right majority of people dont. You go here and expect madness. Kids everywhere, crowds, etc. You want tranquil all to yourself feel and vibes, go vacation to a remote island somewhere. This is for the kids. Plenty of things to do. The water slides are enough to keep kids having fun for a while. For added fees there are other optional activities but seems more geared toward younger kids. so why 4 out of 5 stars? Because I've been to the one in northern california (manteca). This property seems older. More crowded, and just doesnt have the same lodge vibes. There simply isnt the same WOW factor as the Manteca location. There is no parking garage in Manteca but instead a vast land of parking spaces. So the Lodge just commands attention and shows you are about to enter something grand. Here they use a parking structure and although efficient it just doesnt give of same vibes. The "Grand Lobby" here is also just meh. The area and space seems so fragmented and doesnt have a good flow. The manteca location is structured so well. You walk in from the main entrance and you are really in a Grand Lobby with the towering fireplace. Here its off to the side and now filled with arcade games. That fireplace is usually the photo spot for families in Manteca. Here you really dont have that. People have said the waterpark itself is better here. If it is, I didn't notice it too much. It isn't that much better to really matter. The wave pool here definitely is stronger which is very cool. But the lazy river, and everything else seems on par. I believe they have an extra attraction with the surf/wake board simulator. So IMO, the Manteca location is better overall. But this is a much better location being in SoCal with lots of other things to do here. While Manteca is basically nothing but Great Wolf Lodge.

Honestly- our one night trip was simply better than expected. Hassle free, easy, fun. I would have…read moregiven 5 STARS but there was a ton of construction on the property (not the biggest deal, but kind of a bummer). Details below. -parking was easy. -room check in at the kiosk was easy. -the kiosk printed our wristbands out. -I got a text with our room number about 30 min later (I would have preferred no wait, but it was the busy check in time). -we went to dinner at BJs down the road, no wait, very good 2 family dinner. Great M-F deals. -my kids did the high ropes course and liked it. We hit the arcade for about 15 minutes, they didn't really like it (but it's under construction, they were moving machines up into the lobby). -I brought chocolate croissants and muffins, we ate bfast in the room. The rooms have large mini fridges, there's a small microwave where the ice machines are on each floor, there's a good enough weird coffee machine in each room. -we loaded our regular bags into the car, checked out of our of the room at 9:40, got into the line for the pool. -got plenty of chairs together for the adults. -my advice: you do not needs chairs for each kid, especially older kids. They stop by, sit, and bounce. Most people eat at the tables, there are signs that people can only sit at tables for 30 min, we never had a problem eating at tables (it's so much easier). Don't waste a bunch of chairs on kids who never use them.... -the bar drinks at the pool were very very good. the Bloody Mary was the best one I've ever had. Yep. We had a mango pineapple rum drink that was so good, not too sweet at all. -every staff member we encountered was on point, very helpful and kind. -I charged everything using my wristband, very easy. CONS: -I've been several times. In my option, the pizza place is the only food worth getting when you are at the pool. The Bucket food place in the pool area is just not good, it's very cafeteria and expensive. -I saw about 15 people slip and fall, mostly near the life jacket stand outside the wave pool. Like full on hard falls. An employee has a floor squeegee, but it's pretty useless. Even people walking slipped. -the headboards in the renovated rooms are pretty bad and dangerous. They have posts spaced out like 5 inches that have right-edge corners, so, sharp. And the pillows are not enough and not fluffy. When you lean back, your head slams into those pillar posts. My daughter's head went right between two posts so she hit both sides of her head on the posts. I hit my head too. Who the hell thought that was a great design? After that issue, I noticed all the hard corners on everything in the room. My kids are older now, but parents or younger kids, take note.

The Adventure Lagoon felt incredibly misleading…read more I was planning to take my kids to the beautiful Splash Park at Castaic Lake, but my son told me Adventure Lagoon was a better deal because it advertised $35 for the day. When I arrived, the employee asked, "Do they want the water park too?" I replied, "That's why we're here." She then told me it was an additional $10 per person. What wasn't made clear is that the $10 only covers one hour. After getting inside, I learned you have to keep paying for every additional hour. For comparison: Castaic Splash Park 2 kids = $70 total Parent = free Adventure Lagoon (calculation based on 3 hours - though I chose this place to come for 4 hours since it was advertised as same price for all day) 2 kids admission = $70 Water park fees = $60 Parent admission = $35 Total = $165 So instead of spending the day at a beautiful lake surrounded by nature, we paid more than double to be at a small water park surrounded by warehouses. The website prominently advertises the day rate and has a big "BOOK NOW" button, but the hourly water park fees are not made clear upfront; you have to literally scroll below the pricing and "Book Now" to see them. See here - https://www.theadventurelagoon.com/pricing I don't mind paying. I do mind feeling misled. Unfortunately, they lost us as customers for life.

We rented the cabana by the wave pool and it was very convenient. The menus don't have prices though so that makes me nervous. I rated 3/5 because they add 18% gratuity, even if you're below a party of 6 and only ordered 3 beers. Bar: 4/5 The options are the bar are very good. Order virgin pina coladas for the kids. Beer is good lol and there are TVs Food: 1/5 We ordered fries for a snack. Not very good. They were cold, and flimsy. Needed salt. Our kids didn't even enjoy them. I didn't want to order anything else after the fries because it was unappealing. Snacks: 1/5 We bought dipping dots before leaving and when we opened them up, the dots were completely melted into each other so it ended up being like a "gogurt" style ice cream. Slides: 5/5 We had an amazing time. Lots of thrill if your into that. We rode every large attraction. Wave pool is great. It's was a perfect day. Great weather. I would come back.

Also the wave pool and the lazy river, It's literally like sand paper, every time I go to the wave pool and sometimes the lazy river my feet get cut, and sometimes my knees in the wave pool. Other than that, its a good park, it's more meant for families, that thrill seekers.

It was easy to purchase tickets online for everyone, the interface was not complicated at all. Entering was easy breezy and we were able to find a spot for our large group. What's great is we were able to bring in wagons to haul our beach chairs, umbrellas, and misc items for the kids. Even if you're not the first to arrive to pick the prime spots/shade areas, you can pretty much find any spot at the water park and create a shady oasis for you and your family. Food and drinks are on the pricy side but that's pretty normal for a water park I think.

Came during a weekday afternoon…read more They have a parking in the lot that's free, but limited. They sharing the parking with the community pool. Bought the Residental All Access season pass for $93. The pass was regularly $109, but it went on sale before the park opens for the season. The park opened from 11am to 6pm every day. Can't wait for the Family Glow Night on Fridays from 7pm to 10pm. Felt the park was rather small. They had three tube rides (Devil's Punchbowl, Rattler's Revenge, and The Wildcatter), four water slides (Dusty's Mineshaft Racer), a lazy pool (Big Rock River), and a kiddie play area (Little Miner's Camp). Was able to go to all of the rides. The Devil's Punchbowl was the most adventurous ride. The Big Rock River was really relaxing. The park allows you to use the tubes free of charge. The food was very affordable. Place was pretty busy with mostly kids running around. There were plenty of picnic tables and lounges to put your stuff on. There were also lockers for rent ranging from $8 to $12. Overall, the park was really clean and fun. Good place to cool down and spend an hour or two.
