    Review of water park only:…read more Don't buy for the whole family. We made the mistake of buying for a family of 4, but only small kids would enjoy this. Could have saved half the cost by just buying for 2 kids. You definitely don't need more than an hour either. It's really loud, so it's not great for autistic or sensory sensitive kids. My kids don't enjoy water directly in their face, and there's nowhere to go that doesn't have water landing directly in your face. There's nowhere for adults to sit, and it's a small room so there's residual splashing everywhere; wear pool shoes even if you don't go on the play structure and are just supervising the kids. During the 5-minute breaks once per hour, it would be nice if you could use the adjacent pool I but it was occupied with aquatic sports teams. Staff were very friendly, and the overall sports/rec facility looks huge and very clean. Locker rooms were very clean as well. For our family, however, it just wasn't worth the price paid nor was it the type of water park that would work for older kids or autistic kids.

    We visited on Sunday morning during tots time 9-1130. It was empty with only a few young kids so it…read morewas easy watching two toddlers running around. Kids two and under are free to enter. We had a blast at the bounce house and the ninja maze. There is a rock climbing wall and some advanced obstacle course for older kids. My kids were fascinated by the arcade too, they sat on the motorcycle and pretended to play. The groupon deal makes it worth going, you get two hours of play on the regular ticket price. Staff was friendly and helpful at the front desk. Will recommend!

    Exclusionary policies on a 3ft deep pool…read more My special needs son wanted to go on the lily pads/floating log ropes course, so I asked if I could be present in the water to guide him because he's non-verbal and needs time to process directions. The head lifeguard said no, the other lifeguards will watch him. Some special needs children require accommodations that caretakers like his father (me) are highly attuned to. The teenaged lifeguards would simply blow their whistles and scream at my son as they've done before. I am there to assist as needed so 1) we avoid the screaming lifeguards, and 2) so he can experience what all the other kids can do on their own. Obviously we didn't go on it. Thanks for understanding, SplashDown, we'll never go there again. Side note: Some of these lifeguards hate their life and shouldn't be there.

    First off this is a no food park, we bought banana and peach one of each for my daughter whom is…read morevery picky and was made to throw it out however there were other families with complete meals made from home. Every staff member we've encounter was rude and nasty. Around the pools were filthy. Excuse me there was a young man that was polite and 1 lifeguard the rest were absolutely nasty. It's took everything in me not to go OFF! CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST DOESN'T EXSIST. My son scraped his arm which was bleeding pretty bad we went to first aide station and no antiseptic was given they just handed me a band aide and I covered it. Truthfully its location is convenient other than that I don't think my husband can force me to come back 2 out of 10 . Music was good !!!!

    We visited Leitch Water Park in Woodbridge, Virginia for a birthday party, and while the kids had…read moresome fun, the overall experience was pretty disappointing and not well organized. One of the biggest issues was at entry. The host of the party was not clearly informed that she would be required to pay for all party guests at once. She had assumed each guest could pay individually, so this came as a surprise at check-in. The manager on duty explained that while it wasn't a contract requirement, it was their preferred and "most efficient" way of handling party admissions and that they were asking all parties to do it that way that day. This created confusion and inconvenience, especially for parents who were not prepared for it. Food service was another letdown. Outside food wasn't allowed, which is understandable, but the available food options were very limited and not good quality. The pizza was especially disappointing, the crust tasted stale and had an unpleasant, almost frostbitten texture. I also ordered walking nachos, and they were made immediately but then left sitting while we waited for chicken tenders. By the time everything was ready, the chips were soggy and the toppings were cold. When I asked if they could remake them fresh, the staff began talking and laughing among themselves, which came across as unprofessional and dismissive. The park itself was not overly crowded, but there were several rules that didn't seem to make much sense and took away from the kids' enjoyment. The party host also mentioned she was not told the party area would include sand. This was frustrating, as it meant constantly rinsing sand off before going back into the pool area. I also noticed sand at the bottom of the pool, which wasn't very appealing. Overall, the park felt outdated and overpriced for what it offers. Between the confusing policies, underwhelming food, and lack of clear communication, I wouldn't make the drive to return. It has potential, but it definitely needs improvements in organization and upkeep.

    This a nice little waterpark in the area. It has a pool as well as a splash area for the little…read morekids. They also have a little ropes area and a slide for bigger kids. Our 3 year old and baby enjoyed. Prices to get in are very affordable but the food was a rip off. Really small pizza for 8$. Id pass on the food if you can even though you can bring food or Drinks into the water park

    We were actually coming from out of town on the 4th of July weekend. It was on a Friday near noon…read more We actually came to visit a different park but, it was filled to capacity. I used yelp to find another Waterpark close by and this is how we ended up here. When called before we arrived to this location to make sure that they were not filled to capacity and they were not. We didn't know the rules and regulations or what to expect. When we arrived at the counter our group consisted of 3 kids and two adults. To enter it was less than $60. Admission was a breeze. The adults entered the restrooms to change into swimwear. The children were already prepared. We were actually able to locate 5 chairs in a nicely shaded area. Now let me tell you, this is not the place for you if you are looking to go swimming. This place has a lazy river so this is a highlight for a lazy river lover like me. We had two 7 year old and a 10 year old. They could either use a tube for the lazy river or go to the center to play in the water . This place was small enough and kid friendly enough to allow the children to play while the adults were in the lazy river with the kids or just relaxing on the side in the sun. Our party of 5 truly had a blast. The only downfall of our experience was that we didn't know that you were either allowed to bring your food and drink or you could have something delivered. There is nothing on site available to purchase. Not even water. Next time we will be better prepared. It definitely didn't take any enjoyment away from our visit.

    its great and affordable if you have kids that are say 10 and under older kids may get bored as its…read morea smaller park but definitely worth going back again

    I never visited 6 Flags before because people always told me Kings Dominion is better, so I was…read morepleasantly surprised to find that 6 Flags has a great water park that entertained my daughter all afternoon. They've got the must haves of a water park - lazy river, wave pool, water spray ground, and water slides. They've also got a few extras that you don't see at every water park, like a few 4 person float rides, a half pipe tube ride with a very steep drop, and a roller coaster type water ride that goes up and down. My 48 inch tall daughter was able to go on every ride but my 46 inch tall son could only go on about half of the rides, so my only caveat is that 48 inches seems to be the magic number. That said, my son would've had a lot of fun on the rides he could go on, as well as the universal ones like the lazy river and spray grounds. If you get a season pass to 6 Flags and compare it to the cost of a day pass at a county water park, this is a great deal (plus you get an amusement park too)!

    The place needs a major overhaul. Lots of running rust, areas that could use some power washing,…read morecleaning and updating. The place is nice but definitely needs some TLC. The bathrooms were absolutely horrendous, slippery and needed attention throughout the day. Staff was great, however management needs to give the place some much needed attention.
