I would like to tell you that a 71-year-old grandmother, who had just completed a year of fighting breast cancer, stood just inside the front entrance of Wings & Waves for four hours while her three grandsons enjoyed the park because she couldn't accompany them without paying full admission for attractions she had no intention of using. But I can't honestly tell you that. The truth is, I chose to stand there on principle. I had absolutely no intention of swimming, using the slides, or taking advantage of any of the attractions. I simply wanted to spend the day with my grandsons, watching them laugh and making memories together. Instead, I was expected to pay approximately $40 simply to walk through the gate and be with my family. I understand that every business has the right to set its own admission policies, and I respect that. But I also have the right to decide when a policy simply doesn't make sense. So, for four hours, I stood just inside the front entrance near the front door while my grandsons enjoyed the park--not because I had to, but because I couldn't justify paying full admission for services I never intended to use. My hope is that Wings & Waves will reconsider this policy. A reasonably priced spectator pass for grandparents, parents, caregivers, or anyone who simply wants to accompany their family without participating would make the park far more welcoming to families. I truly hope no other grandparent has to make the same choice I did. read more

We came to celebrate my daughter's ninth birthday with a group of 3 adults and four kids. The facility was clean and small enough to be easy to navigate and large enough to provide a fun variety of activities. The volume in the room and giant tv over the wave pool make for an unfortunate sensory situation. The food selection is pretty typical for this type of place, and you can't bring in your own food. So if you like healthy eating or have dietary restrictions, good luck. We came as an alternative to Great Wolf Lodge and were happy with the 4 hour session. read more

Absolutely disgusting experience. This was our family's first and last visit. We paid over $150 for four admissions, the online booking fee, lockers, and tube rentals. For that price, I expected a clean and well-maintained facility. Instead, there was hair all over the floors, hair floating throughout the pools, and clumps of what appeared to be spit floating in the water. The stairs to the slides smelled like a mixture of urine and cleaning chemicals. About 30-45 minutes before our session ended, a child had a major fecal accident in the wave pool. Large pieces of feces were visibly floating in the water before the pool was evacuated. Afterward, the child's mother rinsed him off in the communal shower while other guests, including my young children and me, were using it. The shower area was one of the worst parts. The drains were not working, and the water backed up to around my ankles almost immediately. There was standing water, hair everywhere, and wet toilet paper on the floor. It felt incredibly unsanitary. I contacted management requesting a refund. Their response focused on their water treatment system and stated that because the other attractions remained open, tickets are non-refundable. They did not address the backed-up showers, the overall cleanliness of the facility, or the other sanitation concerns I raised. I understand that accidents happen, but cleanliness and maintenance are entirely within management's control. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Wings & Waves and will not be returning. read more

This place was perfect for a cold February day to entertain kids ages 2-11. We celebrated our niece and nephew's birthday and the kids had a blast. Nice warm environment. Cool inside with a space and air themes. Wish it was a just a tad bit bigger. A lazy river would have been fun! Also, the showers in the bathrooms ran cold and the drains don't drain very well. But other than that, we would definitely comeback and our 9 year old is asking when that will be! We did the 10-2 session and that seemed like a perfect amount of time to play, relax, eat, and play some more. Kids were so tired after. read more

Pros: The slides are fun, the TV in the wave pool is cool, the theming is good, and the facilities have potential. Cons: Today felt really disappointing compared to our past visits. First, the towel situation was frustrating. In previous years, we could rent towels, which worked well for us since we were visiting from out of town and staying at a hotel in Portland. This time, we were told the only option was to buy $36 Sun Bum logo towels. They were ugly, tacky, and felt more like marketing items than something worth $36. I could understand $20 to $25 for a regular beach towel, but $36 felt like a blatant money grab and honestly started the day off on a bad note. The tube policy was also frustrating. Three of the four major slides use tubes. Single tubes are free for the slides, but doubles cost $10 to rent. Since we have a 5 year old who enjoys slides but is not big or brave enough to ride alone, we felt like we had to rent one. Then it was stolen while we checked out a kiddie area. When we told the desk, they made us wait 10 to 15 minutes while they looked for it before giving us another one. They never found it. Cleanliness was not great either. It is only June, but the scum around the pools was already noticeable. The shower drains in the women's room were clogged and flooding. We also rented a $10 locker, opened it, and found a brown drink spilled inside that had not been cleaned, so we had to go back to the rental line again. The behavior from other guests and the lack of supervision was probably the worst part. Our 5 year old is very friendly and tries to make friends wherever he goes. In line, he was talking to two young siblings when the brother repeatedly smacked his sister on the butt. My child then tried copying that behavior with me and said he should do that to his sister. I corrected it immediately. Soon after, we realized those were the kids who had taken our rented tube that was numbered to match our bands. There was no parent around. Since we had already gone through the hassle of getting another tube, we let it go. A minute later, another boy, maybe around 8, told my son right as we were about to ride the blue slide that he was going to suffocate and die on it. I asked him if that was really necessary to say to a 5 year old. Again, no parent was around, and although the worker seemed close enough to hear it, nothing was done. I was in shock. After the ride, I asked a worker if there are age limits or supervision rules for kids on slides or around the park. They said they did not think so and told me to talk to the front. At the front, several teenage employees were hanging out. Most workers were friendly, but a few had major attitudes, and I am not sure we saw anyone over 18 working there. One apologized and said I could point out the kids who stole the tube or the boy who said that to my son and they could talk to them. I said I did not feel it was my place to parent other people's kids, but I would prefer the waterpark have rules that prevent young kids from running around unsupervised all day. Later, three teenage boys got into a slap fight near the front of the line, right by workers. They were hitting each other hard enough to leave bright red handprints. My son was cringing from the loud slapping noises and was clearly uncomfortable. The workers ignored it, so I politely asked the boys to stop, and thankfully they did. On the topic of noise, I understand the wave pool siren needs to be loud, but for the first hour my son walked around covering his ears because it was more extreme than the other wave pools we have visited. The food was not worth it. I would recommend eating before or after your session. I feel like the food used to be better in previous years. The store was also disappointing. In the Jelly Belly dispenser, some candy looked old. You could clearly see newer candy added on top of older candy, but the old candy dispenses first. I had already told my 5 year old I would buy him candy, but once I looked closer I did not want to pay for old, overpriced candy. Instead, I bought a prepackaged mini Jelly Belly bag and a tiny cup of candy, about the size of a shot glass, which ended up being $12. We live in Washington and have visited this place about 4 times over the years. In the past, I would have rated it around 4 stars, maybe even 5. Today felt different in a really sad way. It felt like management has given up on customer service, employee training, cleanliness, the store, and the restaurant. Even the timed sessions are not ideal for our family's schedule. I understand the business side of it, but the experience now feels more like a cash grab than a fun family outing. This place has so much potential, and we used to really enjoy coming here. Unfortunately, after today, we do not feel like returning anytime soon. I hope management takes the feedback seriously and works to bring it back to what it once was. read more

Very fun filled day with my family. The yellow tube slide ride was my favorite. Any time you go to a water park expect two things. Most of the staff will be young adults / teenagers. There are long lines to almost everything including the restroom. We chose the 10-2pm session bought our tickets in advance as the website suggested, capacity limits are set by the fire marshal. Water is warmer than any river, lake around here but do not expect it to be warm. Recommend to wear quick drying shirt's to avoid rash/scratches from the slides. The Milky Way cafe serves a 16 inch pizza for $34 at the time of this review 11/11/25. Good news like W.W. you can bring a cooler for the car or use their picnic table outside. read more

Wings & Waves Waterpark - 67 - Water Parks Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

Family Friendly | Unique waterpark | Unhelpful staff First time coming to have fun with my two kids: 11 month old and 7 yr old. We always drive pass it on the way to the beach, so we decided to check this place out! I'm glad we did, so next time we will be more prepared. Unique waterpark that is definitely family friendly. From my first visit, I observed they had these areas: a pool with jacuzzi, park and splash pad, toddler splash pad, big wave for the tube lounging, epic water tunnels, a restaurant, store/gear rental, and bathroom/shower/changing. Rental cabanas throughout. Things you should know before coming here is that they close for an hour at 2pm. They reopen at 3pm. I have no idea why, and even when I asked the staff their hours, they just said they reopen at 3. Speaking of staff, upon entering, there were about 5-7 young teenage looking folks behind the counter and NOT ONE greeted me. They all clumped together like it was a hang out time until I was at the counter looking to someone to help me get my ticket in. $40 per entry but babies (under 2) are free. This was it. She helped me with the transaction and didn't tell me anything else about this place, like where things are located. I'm assuming she thought this wasn't my first time visiting. I ended up asking people around me where to get the tubes and how much they were. Tube rentals are next to the front desk at the store. Someone told me they're about $7/$8. The pool looks nice and not too deep. A lot of families like to hang out here. Jacuzzi area is popular. They have a view of watching their kids play at the park area with the massive water dump. I liked this area. Lots of fun things to play with with splash pad. My daughter could spend hours here. There are a few smaller slides, which I think is perfect for the younger kids that aren't ready for the taller water tunnels (they look epic too)! You can reach those by using the stairs and starting at the top in the airplane! The giant wave area with the tv screen is nice. You can hang out and use the tubes there. A loud alarm will go off letting you know the wave is about to begin. Locker rentals available in the shower/restroom/changing area. Good-sized area with good bathrooms and showers. I didn't go to the restaurant upstairs, but I did notice that folks were ordering food from the cabanas. Overall: Super fun place that's worth checking out with the family. It's open year round. However, I would train the staff. It reminds me of young teens working at Sky Zone in Beaverton. read more

This place used to be well taken care of, clean and fun! It is now in great disrepair. It's disgusting, there is grime everywhere, over-priced, and just gross. When we went for my birthday, the hot tub was broken, they now charge $10 for a double tube rental and it's just nasty. The lifeguards are young and inexperienced. There is no space to walk because of the huge cabanas taking up space that you have to rent for a crazy price. When I reached out to let them know how incredibly disappointed I was in everything, they did not care one bit. Terrible place now, I will never go back again. read more

There were 8 of us in our party, and we rented a first class cabana as we were celebrating my sons birthday. I'll start with the positives from our trip. Positives: -So much to do and I didn't feel like it was overcrowded -check in was a breeze -we had a slight issue with tubes (mentioned below), but management fixed it quickly -they had a drill during our trip and we had no idea until later (it all seemed really real)...I was impressed with staff and how they handled the incident -pizza was really good! -staff was pleasant and all very helpful Negatives: -our tubes were stolen several times...FROM INSIDE OUR CABANA! -cabana attendants were MIA. Had to go to the front desk to have them radio someone so we could order. Would've ordered a few additional things if they had come around to check on us. -water was a little cold. One of my boys had blue lips and was shivering the entire visit. Large bodies of water could've been a bit warmer. -4 hour time slot was nice, but none of us were quite ready to leave. All in all, we will definitely be back. I won't be renting the first class cabana again, but will definitely rent one of the smaller ones as we enjoyed getting away from hustle and bustle. read more

Wings & Waves Waterpark - View from first class cabana #2 - Water Parks Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

This was my first time hear and their employees are GREAT at explain all of the rules. The pizza is great. At first the waterslides are imatating but once you do one you relize that they are super fun!!!! But their are a few problems I went hear and the wirlpool was crowded with children. The LOUD nosie when the waves are about to start in the wave pool seems scary if you are going down a slide because it makes you think that their is problem. But other then that a really fun spot for birthday party or just to have a fun time. read more

I'm writing this with a heavy heart after an incredibly disappointing experience today. My son is autistic and disabled, and we drove nearly two hours to visit your water park, something he was so excited about. When we arrived, we were told the park was at max capacity and he wouldn't be able to go in. The crowd was overwhelmingly abled, and there was no consideration or flexibility for families like ours. He was told to wait outside until the next session opened, which, for a child on the spectrum, is not only confusing but incredibly dysregulating. Families with disabled children often don't have the luxury of planning far in advance. Autism doesn't operate on a schedule, sometimes spontaneity and flexibility are what work best. I strongly urge you to consider implementing reserved spots or walk-in availability for individuals with disabilities. Accessibility isn't just about ramps and parking, it's about policies and compassion too. Today could have been a joyful memory for Hawk. Instead, we left heartbroken. Please do better. read more

I went with my family and we had a blast. It was very busy considering it was Saturday. Expect long lines on busy days but all the slides are so worth it. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and professional. It's been 10 years since I've been here and It was just as fun as I remembered. Overall a very positive experience read more

Family bought 2 annual passes....except they aren't annual, they are only good for 3 months. Which is ridiculous for the cost of the pass, and not made clear when they were bought. Also, they have food you can order on a printed menu, but 1/2 the food they no longer make. However, they will charge and let you order it before they tell you that. The menu should be updated to reflect current selection so people don't get their hopes up. read more

I've been a few times and loved it. I came for a field trip in middle school and had so much fun on the slides. I've gone in winter before and had so much fun. Sadly I don't have photos. I think it is worth the trip from Portland for some aquatic fun. read more

Took my kid and his 3 friends for his birthday. We got Lincoln as our associate because we rented a cabana. He was wonderful. Showed us options for cabana locations. He checked on us for food purchases. Brought me ice for my water. Just an all around polite young man. The place was clean and had lots of staff available. Definitely a fun time. read more

DON'T BOTHER WITH THE VR & GET INJURED HERE! I'd been wanting to go here since I saw a video for the VR slide about 6 yrs. ago. I finally made It last Sat., 5/17/2025 from San Francisco. Even had my bro. drive over from WA with his kids. It's not open every day and when it is, it's only open in 4 hr. blocks. We found one that worked and made it happen. I was super excited. Unfortunately, expectations not met in any way and our visit was a total bummer. We immediately ran up to the top to do the VR slide only to find out we had to grab tubes from the bottom. We sat in a short line that took at least 30 mins. to go down a slide so we could get back to the bottom. Total snail's pace and the slide hurt our backs as we went down. We walked to the front to grab our tubes only to find we had to walk back over to the slide's. Get the tubes, race back to the top of the slide, wait in line 20 mins., get to the front and get my VR Goggles on. About to take off and they break in half. This is apparently normal as it happened to my nephew, too. I feel the kid working there pull me back and do something to the goggles. He asks if I'm ready. I say yes. Am I going to flip at the bottom. He says no and pushes me off. Within seconds I go up the right side and flip hitting my head on the slide, hurting my foot, wrist, etc. I go down with the tube and goggles in my hand. Two workers see me come down and don't say a word. I get my bearings and go back to the top, limping, when I notice my foot is already black and blue, along with spots on my hand and leg. My head hurts and I decide I need ice. Not to try to go down the slide again. Sadly, I walk down trying to figure out what happened and it hits me that I must have been sitting on the inner tube and not inside it and the "kid" working there didn't notice. Instead, he pushed me and I ran straight up the side and got injured. I limped to the front asking for an incident report and ice. This "kid" didn't ask if I was ok or what I hurt. Just asked me to follow him to their first aid "kid". Cooper was sweet. Actually asked if I was alright, gave me some ice, but did no first aid. I'm not sure what his certifications are, but I have a feeling they are very limited. I called my husband, a Dr., over to assess me. Sweet Cooper gives me the incident report to sign. Nothing filled out but my name and address and points to where he's been told to have me sign. This was not an incident report rather a WAIVER of liability for the waterpark. Instead of checking one of their boxes relieving them of all accountability, I crossed that section out and wrote that I retain all my rights to contact them later regarding the need for x-rays, etc. I spent the next 2 hrs. sitting there with ice until it was time to take a shower in their moldy shower that didn't drain properly. I don't recommend showering there, nor spending money on the VR (my husband said the quality is trash) and certainly hope you don't get injured there. I saw grown high-school boys wrestling in the wave pool while the lifeguards turned their heads while I kept thinking one of them might accidentally drowned or hurt a smaller child. They have kids working there. Just be aware and watch your children. read more

We came here at the tail end of the area's spring break and you could tell the place didn't handle the crowds well. We booked a cabana, right away our host barely explained anything to us (we're first timers from out of town), and she took off. There was a lot of miscommunication. A lot of employees standing around in groups chatting. They were out of many food choices and when we made a comment, they said it was because of how busy spring break had been, they were overwhelmed and out of everything. So then .... Maybe a discount is warranted? It sounds like management is poor at planning, and even worse at dealing with dilemmas as they happen. Spring break happens every year, it's not that difficult to plan for. I'm sure they'll be just as surprised again next spring break. My recommendation, don't rent the cabana. The service is terrible. Nothing feels special about it, which is the point of getting a cabana. The staff is ill trained, and it's a direct reflection on management. read more

We used to really love coming to wings and waves, but going there today. They want to charge you extra for every little thing. Most of the chairs now are for rental and all of the double tubes. Not sure why they would need to add office additional costs when their ticket prices have gone up from $20 to 30 and you only get half a day so they're already taking in double Money than they were before Covid and I understand things have changed since Covid, but I find this ridiculous and we will not be driving an hour from the Portland area when we can go to great Wolf Lodge, at least you can stay all day! ! $40 for these chairs near the playground part! Only for the session which is 4 hours read more

So my kids and I took a drive to McMinville from Beaverton to chill out a bit. I was excited to get away a little bit and was trying to get psyked for the slides too...we got to the parking lot about 20 minutes before they opened @ 10 am. I checked their YELP page and saw that it said "closed". I was a little concerned. After a minute or two I called them. Of course they were open. It had that status because there were no more open spots for the morning session. It was a good thing that we did get there early. Twenty minutes later, kids (and their parents) started streaming in. We were able to get some chairs and get settled pretty easily. Now I know this place is mostly for the kids, but I was trying to be "a Roman" too. I got in the wave pool for a bit and then I did the Nose Dive a couple times. It was ok, but the kids actually had (as expected), way more fun. My daughter got bored about 2 hours in, but rode it out for another hour. My son said that he was having a reaction to the environment in the "Vortex"/Basketball area. We ended up leaving about an hour early. I think my kids might be past the "Water Park" age. Overall I will give it a 8/10. It was a little crowded and the wave pool sirens every 20 minutes was kind of annoying, but that might be because I am old. One thing to remember though...be sure and bring sandals/flip-flops for the locker room. The floors are kinda funky. read more

I have mixed feelings about this Waterpark. We've been a few times over the years, and it's enjoyable for the most part. They have 4 big slides, and the wait time is usually around 20-30 mins per slide. They have a small area for kids under 4, and they have a water playground area. They have tubes that you can rent for an additional fee and they have tubes for everyone to use. In recent years, they seem to be decreasing the amount of free tubes that they provide as a way to make more people feel the need to rent a tube. This year, they even had a separate line just to wait for a tube (before waiting in line for the slides). Keep in mind, 3 out of the 4 slides require a tube. The playground area is super slippery, and some of the adults in our group slipped and fell numerous times while following our 3 year old around on the structure. The playground also has a handful of steering wheels that make the water features go off, and all of the steering wheels were covered in black mold! When I realized that, I was ready to leave. Anyway, they have a pool and a wave pool. The wave pool is fun, but usually overcrowded. Tickets are about $30/person if you buy them online, and they do offer a veteran discount that they will credit back to your card when you check in and show your ID. Overall, we enjoy visiting this Waterpark when spring break is rainy. And I would be fine with 90% of the negatives that I mentioned in this post, but the black mold on the kid area was a huge no for me. I'm not sure if we will be back. read more

This place is fun for children, they have lots of slides, wave pool, pools and a hot tub. The issues I have is that the water did not look very clean and their is so much chlorine in the water. The ventilation system cannot keep up or does not work, it smells so bad inside it makes my eyes irritated and uncomfortable to breathe. More fresh air needs to be pumped in. I also got a rash after hanging out in the hot tub. The other thing that is unfortunate is people will vape in the showers and in the restrooms, again I understand this is not their fault but it is a problem. My family of 5 paid 170$ to get in, which is pretty pricey. They played a movie which is cool but then my kids did not play and just watched the movie. I personally want my kids to play, I didn't pay and drive 1 hr for them to watch a movie. Also the wave pool was not working which was a bummer, I feel they should have given a discount for that. read more

Parking no longer costs money. Towels are $36 each, so bring your own unless you want to pay that. Locker prices have gone up a few dollars. The single person tubes are free, but the double tubes cost. You pay for a four hour slot, either morning or afternoon, and it's cheaper if you order through the website in advance rather than in person. They are closed from 2pm-3pm, but one of the employees told me that the cafe is open to the public at 2:30pm. I think the cafe has different items now, but I didn't eat there this time. The employees we interacted with were all friendly. The attractions are the same as when I last visited years ago, except now there is a VR slide too. I didn't see where this slide was so I didn't go down it. I recommend going when your child is a minimum of two years old because the youngest kid slides require the child to be at least age 2. There now doesn't seem to be a price difference depending on the child's height. Everyone has to pay to come in even if they aren't planning on using the water attractions. read more

Super fun family place. It was nice and it was clean. Put make sure and bring your bank account with you. And make sure and eat before hand. Or have some treats I. The car cause the food is not great and super expensive . read more

Wings & Waves Waterpark - Slide - Water Parks Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

My brother recommended me this water park on a day where the temperature reached 101 degrees. He told me some positive stuff about it. I was not disappointed. Four water slides all 5 stories tall. I went on Mach1 7 times, tail spin 6 times, nose dive 2 times. Not once did I not have fun. I would often make myself ruler straight and zip down orange at 30 mph, feeling the high rcf on the turns, having a blast in the process. I also liked how they put on dreamworld how to train your dragon for us to watch over the wave pool. Made for a much better experience than the wave pool at holiday world. read more

Wings & Waves Waterpark - Water Parks Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

I had my son's 9th birthday party today at Wings & Waves, and although the actual water park was fun, I would NOT recommend hosting a birthday party at this venue! For the price we paid, it was NOT worth it! ​Their decoration rules were very stringent (couldn't have much) and you can not bring in a cake, nor do they offer cake! So your forced to buy multiple orders of their desserts, but your not allowed to light even ONE single candle (all of that even though we were in an enclosed space on the upper level.) The food didn't arrive when it was supposed to, and the event coordinator was no were to be found. Honestly, I was embarrassed that I didnt / couldn't have a cake and that I couldn't lite a candle. This venue could care less about your special celebration! They don't care about the details. They just want the money. read more

We'd been here several times in the past and I had a better experience then. Also in the past, my wife was allowed to come in without a ticket, since she was there to keep an eye on the grandkids and wasn't using the waterpark to play and swim. Today the staff insisted she pay full price regardless; there was nothing on the website that indicated they had changed their policy, or we would have planned accordingly. Since we had made the 40-mile trip already, we were stuck with paying full admission. Also--our bad--we neglected to bring towels; they offered to sell us one towel for $36. Not wanting to be taken advantage of by such a ridiculous offer, I was forced to go to the local WalMart and pick up a few towels for $3 each. I complained to the manager, asking to have my wife's $33 refunded. She said if they had neglected to charge us in the past, it was their fault, but no refund. As for the $36 towel, she said it was priced on the website and didn't seem to think it extraordinary. When I asked for contact information for corporate offices or the owner, she refused, saying only that she was the manager. We won't be back. read more

It was really hard for us to come up with things to do with our kids during our Christmas trip to Oregon. Thankfully, we came across Wings & Waves and saw that they offered a great Groupon and 50% for active duty service members. Wings & Waves reminds me of a smaller Great Wolf Lodge without the lodging. The check-in process was easy, there was a specific line we went to for our mobile tickets/Groupon offer redemption. There wasn't any reception in the building, so we weren't able to pull up our Groupon tickets, but thankfully they were able to look us up in their system. Being that it was Christmas break, the Waterpark still wasn't overly crowded. There was a ton of tables/chairs to choose from. I'd say the most crowded area was the area with the basketball hoops and the jacuzzi. I ended up paying for a locker, but didn't really need it. Pros: - Food wasn't too expensive. - Drinks were refillable. - lots of parking - relatively warm inside, so it's the perfect spot to swim at in the winter - great deals on admission - cheap locker rentals Con: - there's a worker that is in charge of unlocking your locker, so you'll need to wait for them to access it. - longer lines for the slides Pro tip: they have one slide where you cannot have a rash guard on, so make sure you have a bathing suit top under your rash guard. read more

We had so much fun here! The vortex pool, wave pool, and water slides were amazing. There's big windows to let the light in and it's nice and warm inside. The pizza was delicious. My only complaint was having to pay to rent an inner tube. That seems like it should be included. read more

Visited for the first time with my husband, 11 year old daughter, and 7 year old son. We were let in right at opening, and we were greeted by many employees including Santa Claus and promptly checked in by a friendly young employee who helpfully told us everything we should know as first-timers. The employees inside of the small store that sells and rents equipment were also friendly and helped us pick the right locker size for our stuff. The lifeguards seemed to understand how important their job is, and they were VERY vigilant. I was impressed by all of the effort that was put into keeping this water park safe. As a mom, all of the safety precautions made my time much more relaxing than at some other water parks. And I appreciated how clean it was! Both my kids had an absolute blast! They loved the wave pool, the water slides, and the whirlpool. I enjoyed the big hot tub as well. read more

Have been coming here a long time it's a little expensive but always seemed to be worth it today sucked a little bit the hot tub was closed which is a big part of the reason that I came here. I asked if I could get some type of refund partial or anything they said no i told them ok I am going to write a review concerning this they really did not seem to care at all (ya ok we don't really care mind about that) it was there way or the highway as the employee told me we can only refund you if you leave...well I didn't think my 10 year old would be happy with that so we stayed... I bought some swim goggles "adult size" they said no refund or returns on that I figured there swim goggles adult size I'm sure they fit...not a fit they hurt my face because it's was more like a child size and I'm not a very big guy my motorcycle helmet is a size small. Moving forward I thought I'd ask can I return these they really don't fit adult...no sorry no returns...I guess they told me that before I bought them...ok so I gave them to some kid for free hey kid do you want some free swim goggles "yes no problem" "your welcome". Nearly $100 after 2 tickets a locker and some goggles I could have gotten a better value than today at a community pool by my house $5.00 swim as we were not using the slides here today. The things that stand out about today are no happy medium its stay or go home and the feeling of we don't care about customers feelings/needs and if we received a review that shows negative feedback we really don't mind that at all either another thing that I noticed is that they cut down the basketball hoops there gone now. No fried food in the cafeteria today things seem to be a little non operational there as well. They said there understaffed and that is why the hot tub is closed...but there is a lifeguard or 2 standing near it all day not to mention it is right where the big slide comes down to its end which is a monitored area. I noticed a guy with a 2 or 3 year old child here today in the pool the baby and father were playing with a small ball the size of a hacky sack the life guard told the man "you can't have that here" he made them stop immediately the atmosphere here sucked today in my opinion when I tried to wave at a worker repeatedly to ask her a question she just looked directly at me as if she was looking through me and walked away as if I were invisible. I am positive that she noticed me. read more

Wings & Waves Waterpark - Play station at wings and waves - Water Parks Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

If I could give them a zero I would. The new owners are greedy as f*ck and so rude. They wouldn't allow us to use our vouchers there because they said they were given out by the previous owners. Like you bought the damn place, and kept the name. You are getting all there current customers. But yet you won't honor our vouchers? Cuz it would have costed you nearly nothing to keep a happy customer returning again and again. I'll spend my money somewhere else. Rude ass business! read more

Very small waterpark for what you pay for. There's only FOUR rides that you can go down. Orange (no need for a tube), yellow, blue, and green. Orange is the best as you go the fastest. Then green because you go around in circles. Yellow and blue were eh, really boring. Here's the most upsetting part of the place. You pay for the tickets, then you pay for the tubes that you sit in to go down the ride! It's about $5 for a single tube and $8 for a double tube (like if you and your friend sat in it together). If you don't pay, you have the option of waiting in line for the free tube (free tubes only come in singles, so if you want to ride with a friend, you're SoL). So after you wait in that line for your tube, THEN you can make your way up to wait in line for the actual ride. Then when you finish your ride, you have to give up your free tube and do it all over again. So there's a bunch of waiting unless you cough up the cash. I've never been to a place where the tubes are not simply provided at the designated ride. This place will try their very best to get all the $ from you. The only reason this is a 2 star and not a 1 is because the bathroom and lockers were relatively clean. Oh yeah you also have to pay for a locker to store your things (this is standard and falls in line with other water parks). read more

A couple years back my daughter and I went and the building was freezing but still open. We were turning blue and shaking so after only 30 to 45 minutes we had to leave or we would've probably gotten sick. The person told us that the heat was broken, but for some reason, they kept the building open, very dangerous. It's about a 45 minute drive for us to get there so we wasted time, gas, and the cost of the tickets. The old ownership at least gave us vouchers to come back at a different time for free. However, when we tried to go in September 2024, the person told us they didn't have to honor the vouchers and wouldn't even give us a discount to go. She was very rude and even hung up on me. Very unprofessional and dumb as they lost customers for life. I feel any company should at least offer a discount to keep future customers but maybe that's just me (and most successful businesses). read more

We really enjoyed our day at the Waterpark. We went during the morning session and were very impressed with how friendly all the employees were, and how clean everything was. Our little guy loved the kiddie area with the giant bucket dropping huge amounts of water as well as the variety of slides available for kids. We also had lunch at the Cafe. Prices were quite reasonable and there was a pretty good if basic selection. I had a salad that was nice and fresh and my family all had pizza which they said was tasty. As someone with food allergies I appreciated that the menu was clearly marked for the most part about ingredients with the exception of the salad dressing which no one could tell me what was in it so I didn't want to risk using it. And honestly that's my only critique. I wish the employee had a resource to tell me about the dressing, but she just shrugged and said she had no clue. Other than that though, things were great. We rented an innertube and purchase goggles from the store which again were well priced and the staff was friendly. The women's changing area was very clean and it was easy to get showered and changed with lots of room. There are also lots of lockers although we didn't use any this visit. Overall it was a lovely experience and I highly recommend it! read more

Super fun, cool theme, and a great time by all! Our annual trip was a bit worrisome this year. The night before we left town, We decided to checked their website to see there was some unplanned maintenance. The website was a bit confusing and vague so we decided we would drive the 4 hours anyways since they were closed and not taking calls. Thankfully when we got there we found everything was fine but the wave pool. It sounded like some broken glass made it into the pool and they had to shut it down in order to clean/remove the glass. We had purchased tickets via an online discount retailer so we're a bit worried. I got ahold of a manager, Trevor (I think), who really went above and beyond for our group. I was beyond impressed that he took such stellar care of us regarding the travel and situation. Totally reaffirmed this company and how good they take care of their customers. read more

See all

A pretty decent sized water park considering that it is entirely indoors. I'll start with the positives. Being indoors, you don't have to worry about the outside temperature/weather. The Aero-Space theme is extremely fun especially for kids. All 4 main slides are super fun and the fact that they all start in airplane is a nice touch. There's a kids play area with a few smaller slides that are perfect for smaller kids. And the waves in the wave pool is pretty frequent, so you never have to wait too long before the next round starts. Of note I really didn't try any of the food so I can't comment on that. Also I highly recommend getting your own tube (8$). For one it helps with Covid contact precautions as you're not forced to using communal slides but they also only have 10 free tubes per slide, so they go pretty quickly. The main negative I have are the covid restrictions, as there are basically none. The staff explain that masks are required when not in the water; however this rule is largely ignored by 70% or more of the guests. I'm not sure what the occupancy restriction is, but I definitely suspect that they are grossly over capacity. There are 4 main slides, so the lines for all of these are pretty extensive, making social distancing incredibly challenging while standing in an enclosed stairwell. The same thing goes for the wave pool, which is medium sized but definitely crowded. Keep in mind that the entire park is indoors, meaning air flow is also restricted. P.S. Get ready for some leg day, as you'll be climbing a ton of stairs. read more

Driving up to Waterpark is very impressive with the airplane perched on top of the building. Clean and spacious parking lot. Staff was very nice and excited to see us. We rented a cabana for 2 and a locker. Very organized. We also had the pizza lunch special. The pizza was very good. The size of the actual water park was rather small compared to other water parks we have been to. I really wanted a larger pool or lazy river to relax in or wade in. I tried out the wave pool. It was fun but so crowded and hard to wade in. The slides were fun but you have to pay extra for 2 of them. That doesn't leave much to do with the general admission. The waterpark kept us busy for only 2 hours including eating lunch and bathroom time. read more

My kids had a lot of fun here. However, the kids section was a little dangerous with the plane slides with the propellers being really low that my son hit his head when he would slide and get up .. but other than that it was a great time .. read more
