They also had several rooms where you can host birthday parties and an upstairs floor with additional seating to eat and hangout. It is nice because the whole place is indoors so you can always enjoy the place in all weather conditions, which is great if you're looking for entertainment as a family. All the staff were really nice, and helpful, including the lifeguards. You can bring in your own coolers of food, drinks, etc. just no glassware, which helps on costs too. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice, clean indoor swimming!

Excellent water park for the whole family!…read more We got there when it opened at 1130 am. The employees checked our bags and cooler for our safety. Paid at the entrance for day pass. Nice and easy. We brought our own cooler with drinks and snacks but if you don't have a cooler, there's a concession stand that sells snacks and drinks. Plus they have cold water coolers for everyone to refill with your water bottle. Got kiddy section, lazy river, huge water slides. They got Easy, intermediate and extra scary slides for the brave. Clean restrooms with ac, benches with tables, huge umbrellas for everyone sold me! I will definitely come here with my family again. Oh, life guards were on it too!

Prices have gone up since last year for admissions and food, but they're still reasonable compared to other water parks. You can actually bring a cooler full of food for $5 (no glass nor alcohol allowed). There's an area for everyone: Toddlers - kiddie pool with small slide Little Kids - splash pad with three slides and massive water bucket Big Kids - two slides connecting to the lazy river and four bumpy slides for races Relaxers - tubes in the lazy river and shaded lounge chairs Swimmers - open pool The food isn't bad and the staff doesn't really engage. It's a good enough place to cool down for the summer. Pro tip - wear water shoes because the concrete gets blistering hot as you're trying to walk from one location to another.

He loves waterparks more than anything in life, but we've already been to Great Wolf Lodge on multiple occasions, and we preferred to book with Bonvoy points over shelling out the cash for GWL. Plus, we didn't have a ton of waterpark time on the schedule - win, win, win. One thing that was frustrating is that there was zero record anywhere on the internet of the height requirement for the slides here. Well, internet, I'm here to save you with the answers. We have a son that was 43" as of this visit, and he would be crushed to get his hopes up about doing these slides, only to find out that he's not allowed to. There's one big water "castle" with 3 slides. Those requirements are 42". We actually came here a couple of years ago and he definitely did those slides then, and he was most certainly not 42" then. So I'm not sure if they just changed these or they just weren't enforcing the rules in 2023, but they definitely were measuring him on this visit. Then there's one bigger water slide that's stand alone. The requirements are that you have to be 48" to ride freely, but 42-47" is ok with a life jacket. And then the same restrictions apply to the zip line where you can jump in the water after hanging from several feet above the water. The annoying thing about this was that we were there early in the morning and were the only ones doing it. Yet the lifeguard literally measured my son each time he walked up, despite the fact that he was literally doing it over and over again with no one else around. Make it make sense. Overall, this is not the most amazing waterpark you'll find. But when you book with points, all you have to pay is the resort fee and for parking. It's pretty good bang for your buck when you think about it in those terms.

I booked 5 day passes for my family through ResortPass and spent over $350 including parking. My…read morefamily was visiting from another country, and this was their last day before flying home. We specifically planned our day around visiting the water park and arrived around 1 PM expecting to stay until closing. Unfortunately, the park was closed around 4 PM due to approaching weather. While I completely understand that safety comes first, what disappointed me was how ResortPass handled the situation afterward. Despite the fact that we lost most of the experience we paid for and had no opportunity to return because my family had already left the country, ResortPass only offered a 50% refund. They based their calculation on the park's total operating hours rather than the actual circumstances of our visit. Parking costs were not addressed, and the fact that future tickets would be useless to us seemed to be ignored. After further discussions, the only additional compensation offered was a 20% discount on a future ResortPass booking, which provides little value considering the situation. Customer service was polite, but the final resolution felt disappointing and did not reflect the unique circumstances of our visit. I expected a company that values customer experience to handle this situation more fairly. Would not book through ResortPass / Paradise Springs again based on how this issue was resolved.

The park opens at 11:30am on Sunday but feel free to arrive earlier because the wave pool umbrellas fill up quickly and you do not wanted to be left unshaded in the Texas Sun. Parking is free so no need to bring extra cash for parking. Hawaiian Waters provides floating tubes and lifejackets, so no personal floating tubes. Food Options Taco Truck Food Booth with Hotdogs, Cheeseburgers, Pizza, and Funnel Cakes to list a Few Dipping Dots Slushy Station And each ticketed guest gets to bring in a cooler of food for an additional $17. Hawaiian Falls is a great family get away with a nice lazy river and wave pool.

We visited on a Saturday in June and left disappointed by the overall condition of the park. While…read morethe attractions were open and the kids still had fun, the facility appears to be suffering from a lack of maintenance. Many of the lounge chairs were either covered in bird droppings or had broken straps. Several inflatables felt noticeably underinflated, and many areas looked dirty and worn. The large screen at the wave pool was also missing, which added to the impression that upkeep has been put off. This park has a lot of potential and is conveniently located, but right now it feels tired and neglected. For the price of admission, I expected a cleaner and better-maintained experience. I hope management invests in refreshing the park because it could be a great family destination again.

They have a bunch of young kids working there and it seems like they're making up the rules as they go. There are plenty of lifeguards which is a plus it's just some of them make rules that make no sense. We will still go to this part because it is lots of fun and they have a great lazy river and lots of fun things for kids to do and two really nice slides and like I said before, it's very cost-effective and you can bring in your own snacks and drinks if you want to and it does not cost to do that which is very good.

They check your bags/cooler and scan your tickets, then let you go about your day. My friend and I split the cost of a shaded Splash Picnic spot just to make sure our older kiddos had a landing base to re-up on snacks and drinks. Our name was printed on the reserved spot making it officially ours! It is SUPER cool they allowed our own cooler with ice packs, although it would've been a tiny bit more amazing to sip on a girlie marg. I sent my friend on a scavenger hunt to see if they sell any type of alcohol of any kind and turned up empty, just as a heads up to others who may wonder too. While I mostly stayed in the toddler swimming hole and kiddie water slides, and shuffled over to try out the wave pool, my oldest told me about the Lazy River on the other side. She also told me about her "losing her soul" on the dropout slide ha! She had fun, but it took her breath away for sure. Bathrooms are air conditioned. Parking was ample, shade was more plentiful than Hawaiian Falls, and you can reserve seats online if you don't want to risk not having a spot. Overall, a fun family-friendly space to have a good time outdoors!

NRH2O isn't nearly as big as Hurricane Harbor, but I prefer it for several reasons. For one, there are quite a few trees and grassy areas all throughout the park, providing shade and cooler grounds and all around cooler, happier vibes. Plus, tickets and passes are more affordable, and perhaps most importantly (especially to anyone with special dietary needs): you're allowed to bring in your own food and drink. Of course there are limitations on ice chest size and you can't bring in glass containers or alcohol, but it's so nice to be able to pack your own snacks and drinks. Not in loose ice, though, that's another rule. Your ice has to be bagged up (we just use ice-packs). Employees check through your bags very thoroughly at the entrance. I haven't been on any of the bigger slides in years, I now stick to the kiddie-spaces or the lazy river. I was in the wave pool recently with my niece and didn't have as much fun as I remember having when I was younger, haha. The park overall is pretty clean and well-maintained. Nothing looks like it desperately needs refurbished or sanitized! There are I believe 3 different "restaurants" onsite and then a handful of drink and dessert stands. You can find aaaall of your theme park favorites: hot dogs, corn dogs, burgers, chicken tenders, fries, nachos, quesadillas, pizza, pretzels, cotton candy, chips, kettle corn, etc. There's also frozen lemonade, dippin' dots ice cream, and a churro food truck onsite! You'll have a great time at NRH2O if it's not ridiculously crowded and you're able to find yourself a little home-base with shade. You can reserve canopies and tables online, but they go fast!

You're a bit at the mercy of whoever is there. A lot of people were there for the day backed up to a covered spot and blaring music. There was a depressing amount of trash around. The castles are neat and after doing some web searching we found some history about them (not offered by the park itself which is odd). Some areas feel pretty unsafe. The store just sells towels, $2 water shoes for $20 and life vests. No swimming allowed today (it's still winter and because of flooding) but a lot of people were in various areas of the river. The bathrooms were spread around the upper areas and I think mostly for campers and cabin folks. No one is policing anything though. The ports potties were rank.

The cleanliness can obviously be a bit more kept up with, but I do see the guards taking out the trash. The concession stand is quick and has some pretty tasty options. We've gotten the pizza, prices are on the steeper side. Def worth it to grab a whole pizza for $20 versus the price they charge for one slice. My kids love the diving boards, they have two (although one has been out of commission this week - hopefully they fix it quickly!) It's on the smaller size but manageable to take your kids and find a spot to sit and you can keep watch of the kids while they run around. Bathrooms need major attention, but it would be nice if people could keep up with their own trash a little better too.

They have TWO splash pad areas for smaller kids & many other areas for the bigger kids. Only downfall during our experience was they unexpectedly closed one of the splash areas for the little kids right as we got there, so we only got to play in one of the toddler splash areas, but my kids still had an amazing time! Cheap to get in and you can stay all day as they have concession stands with food/drinks for purchase. Will be spending the remainder of summer here!
