My family and I spent a day at the waterpark and I had a blast! I would recommend going as soon as…read morethe park opens which is 11am or even like 30min before because the line does get long to park and as well as the line to get inside! Park closes at 6pm, extended summer hours is 7pm. We went on a Tuesday and Tuesdays are the days they offer their deals. It's buy one get one free basically for $49.99 which I think it's a fair price since individual tickets are from I believe $30-$40. Parking is $5 and if you want to park upfront it's $10. We waited in line for almost an hour to get inside so be mindful if you have a lot of things to carry. Bring a cooler with wheels and a wagon! If you also have a baby stroller that is also allowed inside. The only thing they won't allow you to bring inside is anything glass, alcohol or knives so please precut your fruits and sandwiches beforehand. They do check coolers and bags upfront. We bought Costco pizzas, made pasta salad, charcuterie boards and other knick knack snacks for the kids as well to give you guys ideas on what to bring! Most of the time everyone's gonna be out swimming and on rides and not paying attention on eating lol If you have kids, please take them I recommend and apply sunscreen at all times!

It's been awhile since I came to Island Waterpark and decided to go on Tuesday deal with friends…read moreand family. The traffic to go inside was busy and took some time to go in and to wait in line. Highly recommend to bring a wagon to carry all your things. I had 6 boxes of pizza to bring in so I'm glad I didn't have to carry it instead just wheel them in. The tubes is mainly for the lazy river because the wave pool it's not allowed. I didn't think it was worth getting tbh. Went on a few slides felt like a kid again. Me and my son enjoyed the wave until the "accidents" were happening in there so they had to clear the crowd a few times to I guess shock the pool. I hope there's plenty of chlorine to kill all the germs because I always think of water parks as a big toilet/bath house lol

Came here with the family. We did the go kart race track. We had fun, but it was cut short because…read morethere were young kids not following the rules. I only give 4 stars due to our time on the go carts being cut short even though we were not with the kids. I get it though. Easier to just tell everyone times over than try to figure out who did what. Regarding the foo, we ate lunch here and the food was really good. I would recommend to come with families if looking for some fun. You do have to pay for each of the activities they have so try to figure it out so you can bundle the best way.

Small adventure park with everything you need in one place. Arcade games (there are games with only…read more$1 each play), mini golf, go carts, bumper boats, water park and many other activities. Good times for everyone in the family and best of all, they open late till 10pm. Just opposite the holiday inn hotel in Visalia.

I rented the biggest cabana for my birthday. It was located above the wave pool on the right side…read more Everything was included from chairs, tables, even a tv and fans built in. There was also a bbq propane grill all set up for us and 3 double tubes and 3 single tubes there too. I didn't have to drag all of that from check in which I thought was nice! General parking is $8 if you wanted to park upfront I believe that's like $25. I would recommend paying tickets online months in advance because the prices do increase everyday or even investing into their seasonal pass because I'm sure there's a lot of perks from that including discounted tickets, quick pass line and more. I came three summers ago and there are major updates to the park especially the lazy river. I understand that they just built it but it definitely needs trees around for shade. I went on a couple of rides which was fun too. Line wasn't too bad because we did go on a weekday. Food and drinks outside are allowed just no alcohol and knifes of course! I did rate 4/5 because staff and lifeguards can be rude and snobby. I get that they're just high school kids but at the end of the day, it's a place of work for them and they do need to work on service and communication skills. Overall, I had a blast and I'll definitely be back next summer! It's such a fun thing to do with your kids and since summer is coming to an end for them, why not end it with a bang!

First off, I don't remember a parking fee so that's an additional cost…read more Tip: If you're going to charge that much for parking make sure the parking lot is well maintained. I could not see the speed bump as I was leaving and hit it harder than I expected to. Admission has gone up significantly. I think that's okay because you need to keep the facilities up. Tip: If you're charging premium admission prices you need to make sure all rides are functional. Two of the regular water slides were closed. This was annoying because one of them was my favorite. Tip: If you need to work on rides during business hours have a notification telling guests what attractions are closed and why. I was really excited to learn that you have a lazy river. I really enjoyed the one at Island Water Park. Once I got used to your lazy river I liked it. What I don't like about it is the water shooting out of the turtles. I could really do without it. It's a lazy river which is supposed to be relaxing. Getting sprayed with cold water is not relaxing. My group really liked our cabana. It was shaded by mature trees which is wonderful. Overall I believe that my family had a great time which is what was most important. It was really hot and I can't think of many places to go on such a scorching day.

Great fun for the kids! Safety is their top priority! Also, the cabanas were very worth itread more

We went camping at Lake McSwain with friends, and they said the highlight of their trip every year…read moreis Splash and Dash. We did not know what to expect other than to bring water shoes! Instead of driving, we decided to paddleboard over from our campsite. It's about $50 to spend the day there. We arrived and noticed they had lakeside cabanas to rent for $180, but all the cabanas were booked so we rented two lounge chairs and a small table in the shade for $30. After you sign a waiver, you pay for a wristband, get fitted with a provided life vest, and attend a short safety briefing. Then you get in the very cold water, and swim over to the inflatable water park. Much of it is like an obstacle course. The entire park is inflatable so if you do not like walking on unstable surfaces, this is not for you. There were people there of all ages. The more agile and adventurous you are the more fun you will have. They have water slides of all sizes, jumps, monkey bars, climbing walls, and so much more. You do have to swim from attraction to attraction, but eventually get used to the cold water. It was challenging for me, but my friends had an absolute blast jumping off of the high platforms and going down the huge waterslide. They also had an area where you can relax on huge inflatable loungers. You can bring your own food and snacks, or even BBQ. They also have a café with food, and they sell beer as well. If you have ever watched the television show Wipeout, and wanted to try it, this is the place for you!

Visited Storyland for the first time in a couple years (we live in MN). They have made some MAJOR…read moreimprovements to it since then, a huge thanks to "Measure P" for that. I used to come as a child, and this place has come a long ways since then. There are a dozen or more little exhibits of childhood nursery rhymes (such as Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and Jill), each has a box you can put a key in (mine from my childhood still worked) and hear the story in English or Spanish. All of the boxes we tried worked. Some of the exhibits are just things you look at, some include things like slides or other things for kids to play on. There's also a castle and a pirate ship (one of the new exhibits). There's a train, which costs extra and is ok, but they need to clean up the area it goes through, it could be a lot nicer. There's also a small snack bar. All in all, this is a really great place to bring kids under about 7. It was not busy at all the day we were there, which surprised me because our kids had so much fun!

Rio Sierra River Resort is my favorite place to stay, period. Everything about it is amazing, from…read morethe river to the rooms, perfect. It has become a destination to me, not just an overnight pass-through. The staff are so attentive, just let them know if you need anything. I just recently stayed and can't wait to return. If you do have concerns, such as the cancelation policy, you should contact them in advance to clarify that.

We stayed in the deluxe queen studio. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. . It has a full kitchen and a full wall of windows overlooking the river! There was a great little deck with a table and chairs for eating breakfast and enjoying the view. The property had a great beach area with several nice spaces with canopies and chairs for guest to relax in. And plenty of space for all of the guests to enjoy . The River was clear and deep enough to swim in.. it was not very cold but was refreshing in the summer heat after a day spent up at the national parks. The room was wonderful . The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans utensils , dishes, etc. the beds were comfortable there were plenty of blankets and towels etc. The host was very welcoming and responsive when we reached out with questions and there were instructions, request, and a lot of good suggestions for enjoying our stay provided in a paper that was left in the room.. I would definitely recommend the spot, I plan to come back to visit the Area again and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else

There was not a heater or saltwater system included. Under a separate shipment we received a .75 horsepower pump and poorly glued PVC pieces, which we were told was the swim system that we were charged $800.00 for. We were asked to submit in writing what we wanted to be refunded for. We did on November 14, 2020. We asked to be refunded for the heater and saltwater system that we never received, as well as reduced charge for shipping and the poorly made swim system. On December 21, 2020 we received an email with a receipt for $1,100.00 only. As of today February 04, 2021 we have not received even that amount back to our card. Since then there has been no response to our multiple emails, informing them that we have not received any money. This business seems to operate under multiple names: Best Above Ground Pools, Legacy USA Pools, Quick Pools 4 Less, Above Ground Pools Experts. We would be very interested in legal actions.
