Whenever my family is in Etown, we always visit the WEM waterpark. It always brings out the child in me every time I go on those adult slides. Surely my hubby and I enjoyed those huge slides and the hot tubs. It was just pure fun! My little daughters enjoyed the splash pad, dolphin kiddie pool, and the big waves too. The only downside is that no outside food is allowed. 2 slices of pizza and 8 pcs of nuggets cost almost $25. The entrance went up to $67/person since last time (3 yrs ago). I could understand with everything going up, but they removed the unlimited soda machines, which were included before. They, however, included the life vests for the kiddos. As parents, that's more in favor of us. All in all, we would still go back. read more

It's been a few years since I've been to the Waterpark, but it's always nice and enjoyable to go. The wave pool is warm and cool to swim into and through the waves. There are two hot tubs present - the single tub is much hotter than the double one, but both are nice to relax in. The Waterpark has many slides - some for kids, but many more for more grown folks, ranging from intermediate to extreme "difficulty." There is a bar and snack restaurant, serving pizza, hot dogs, nachos, etc. read more

Stellar waterside, a killer wave pool and even several tube rides galore! Get a cabana to avoid crowds and get your own private seating area with showers. This is my favourite thing to do in yeg. It's completely underrated and it will be the most fun u will have in edmonton! It is the most fun everytime I go. I have been going for all my life since I was a toddler and it just keeps getting better. Personally the cyclone is my fave ride, with a close second for nessies revenge, skyscreamer and the toilet bowl. Honestly those 4 rides are unbeatable and have made my visits to other waterparks disappointing. The standard is high here. And this place is world class. My tip...go on slides when the wave pool is going. Alot of people avoid rides when the waves are thrashing you around. Get there early and spend the day on the artificial beach. There's decent snacks here and personally I love the cheesy nachos. Lockers are $10 for medium sized. Then $15 for large sized lockers. Unlimited entry with 2 wristbands per locker. Go here. It's worth every penny. But u can save a pretty penny coming on weekdays or for toddler time or even 2 hours before closing for pretty good discounts! read more

I've been to the waterpark 3 times since Covid for various kiddo activities and it just isn't even close to what it used to be. First off, each time we've gone several of the rides were "closed", the hours are reduced drastically, and the prices are nearly double what they were precovid. Oh, and they got rid of the Coca Cola fountains. So you pay more (like way more) and get less - less ride options, shorter hours (today is a Friday and their hours are 10am-5pm), and bye bye complimentary fountain drinks. Prices are now $64 for general admission! Plus another $10-$20 for a locker, and I think $8 for a tube to use in wave pool. Oh and don't forget you can't bring in food or beverages so you'll be spending another $20ish per person for a burger and pop. So basically a family of 4 is looking at a minimum of $350 for basics - not even a cabana or an adult beverage. I don't k oe about you, but this is so not worth it do my family of 4 anymore. I will note that you can purchase tickets for $5-$10 at the Garrison Military Base and there are occasional fundraisers on social media where you can get tickets for $30-$35 for a limited 3-4 hour admission buy you still need the locker, beverages, and likely a tube. I'd rather get a hotel and have a fun staycation for 1/2 the price or better yet, do a family Roadtrip to a fun aquatic center somewhere, arcade, and dinner for way less. read more

The slides are awesome. There's something for every age. Very clean around the waterpark and food areas. All that aside there is a custodian attendant in the family change room who is very helpful and gracious. Was there July 16 at opening. Did not catch his name. read more

We came here with another couple and my daughter on a Sunday. We had a really great day, we came at opening and left when it closed. My only complaint is the cost, it is pretty expensive at $60+ per person plus $18 to rent a locker. I do really appreciate the on-site restaurants and that you can buy alcoholic drinks. As we came at opening we were able to get a set of loungers together which was great. My daughter just loved the wave pool I think we spent at least half of the day in the wave pool. The rides are great too, some that are fast paced and others that are tamer. I like the tame ones and the hot tub. And there are two kids splash park areas which was awesome. All in all a great day, but would only do this like once a year. read more

It was soooooooooooo amazing and awesome well I hope the tropical typhoon is allowing us to wear our live jacket for swimmer s who can't swim super well and the blue thunder wave pool is the best part including the slides read more

World Waterpark - Blue thunder wave pool - Water Parks Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

When I was a kid and begged my parents to let me go to Galaxyland, the answer was usually no. But we went to the Waterpark on occasion as we loved to swim and the waterslides were great and you cannot beat the wave pool for being an adrenaline rush as a kid/tween/teen. Be extra cautious if you are not a strong swimmer here as people have to be rescued in the waves a LOT. Be aware that waterslides involve a LOT of stairs! And that there's a certain amount of line waiting involved. I like the tube rides and there are courtesy tubes available for the rides that require them. Hot tubs are great for a relaxing time. The lockers are quite expensive but necessary unless someone is going to be watching your stuff all the time. The wristbands for them are pretty convenient actually. Neat technology when it works well. Lockerroom area is quite cramped all things considered. I haven't done the cabana rentals or anything. A poop incident can close multiple slides or areas of the pool (wave pool included) and this will happen like at any pool. So be flexible for your own health and safety. The kiddie pool area and toddler time seem like a neat option though I haven't yet tried these parts as an adult. They're always updating/adding attractions so this place has changed a lot over the years but it is moist, humid and fun overall! Highly recommended. read more

I've been coming to the West Edmonton Mall (and the delights within, including the World Waterpark) for over 8 of the last 9 years. Dipped into the wavy, warm water many times over those cold, cold winters. Coming from California, there's barely anything more delightful to my senses than coming in from the windy -40 C outside into the mall, and then stepping into the even warmer waterpark! The sound of the lapping water, the shouts of happiness, and the smell of treated pool water is the fastest way to get from Edmonton to the tropics. The waterslides are just fantastic, from the most gentle to the vertical drop, and this is from someone who isn't naturally given to running over to the roller coasters. The World Waterpark is a most effective antidote to those Western Canadian winters! Many an iffy day has been transformed here into something long worth remembering. Perfect for little kids, who get their own kiddie pool, and for groups, don't make the mistake of underestimating how much time you'll want to spend here. Bring a good book, 'cause there's also chaise lounges, which are another way to revel in this joy. read more

World Waterpark - waterpark panorama - Water Parks Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This is a super fun family friendly place to come for a swimming adventure. It can be very pricey but we got 50% off tickets because we stayed at the Fantasyland hotel. They have special offers at times so check it out. Inside the Waterpark is a bit expensive for food / drinks but taste oh so good. We got a pizza and it really hit the spot for our lunch here. The staff are super friendly and helpful we met a wonderful girl named Amy there who was so great, she worked at the main concessions. The slides are super fun and some are scary hahaha but if you like water slides this place is great for that. They do have some slides closed at times too so you may run into that but I think it's good at least we know they're maintaining them. The change rooms are clean and you can go in and out of the lockers at anytime. They're a bit pricey for the lockers but with unlimited in/out I didn't mind it too much. The wave pool is super fun and get some tubes at the front to fill enjoy this part of the water park. They also have life jackets there too if you need one. And there are designated areas and slides for the little kids too so they can have fun here as well. There's also hot tubs around the Waterpark for you to warm up but the temperature inside the Waterpark is already nice and warm too! read more

We spent one full day at the Waterpark. The hours felt too short. It was only open from 10 am to 5 pm. We rented a cabana at $275 plus the cost of admission, tube rentals and food. The kids loved the Waterpark especially the sections meant for smaller kids to enjoy. We ate lunch with a little bit of privacy in our cabana. Food was overpriced for what it was, but no outside food was allowed. Towel service was included with the cabana. We had a semi-private restroom to share with people in the nearby cabanas. This one day family activity costed over $500. It was on the expensive side. However, I think it was worth it as a splurge experience. Definitely not something I would do regularly. read more

This was the most fun outing I've had in quite some time, and I'm not even a good swimmer!! Totally worth the expensive tickets in my books! I'd spend a whole day there if I could. These are the kinds of water slides you don't see everyday, and I love a good wave pool! Probably wouldn't recommend it though for kids under 6, or easily intimidated kids. Waves can get a little crazy, and the slides look pretty big and scary. Some of them I think weren't exactly intended for little kids either. I'd even hesitate to bring a small child up those slippery and really tall stairs. There is however an area aimed at little kids with a splash area, small pool, and a slower smaller water slide. (I think it had all that anyway, didn't get that good of a look at that part). I'll also add that if you go on a Saturday afternoon, the line ups can get pretty lengthy, so if you want to go down each slide, I'd get there right when they open. read more

We came here with two other families to spend a full day at World Waterpark. We got to the gates 5-10 minutes before opening and there were a small group of people already lined up to get in. When the gates opened and we got our wrist bands we proceeded to the family change room. From there the fun started. We tried to look for videos and images but what's available online don't do it justice. The wave pool was a hit for the little ones. The slides were great for the bigger kids and parents. Some slides are better than others but it depends what each person likes and comfortable with. A lot of fast slides. We love the trap door slides like Sky Screamer--I prefer the yellow one over the blue (covered) one. And Nessie's Revenge is a fun slide to race with another person. The Corkscrew is one of our favourite as well. The Tropical Typhoon, aka toilet bowl, is a must try because it's just fun. For a nice chill slide, head over to the back, behind the wave pool for the Sun Runner. The park was warm. Almost too warm for me but I like to be cooler. Comfortably warm for the rest of our party. Optional in and out privileges if you decide to grab food elsewhere. I wasn't able to take any shots or videos because they don't allow hand held actions cams even in the wave pool unless it's strapped on securely (body/head/wrist mounts). There are three Coke Freestyle machines in the park and they are free. We booked the Palm Cove Party Room, it's located at the corner close to the Splash Pad (kids area) and double hot tub and FlowRider. I would recommend this for bigger groups with kids. It's AC'd and also comes with TV, two couches, two tables, a sink and counter, two closets, and towels for up to 25 peeps. And the door can be locked so there's no need to rent lockers. But there's only one key for the room. So choose your key person wisely. The washroom is shared with the rest of the Palm Cove Cabanas. The SkyFkyer Zipline is only ok. It could be more fun if it was a tadbit faster. It's a good one to try out once. The one thing they could do better is in the food area. The food at the park is just not good. Just head out for some food then come back if it's convenient. Otherwise, dry burgers, tiny little chicken tenders and hotdogs. The churros, oh my. Don't. Just don't. You've been warned. Apart from the park food, this was definitely better than what we expected. We'll probably do this one again if we're ever in town. read more

Boys (8-10-11) could not have enjoyed themselves more. A good facility in a relatively compact space. Free soda pop was an extra and gracious bonus from a place that isn't cheap. That said, I've been to my share of water parks and these guys aren't at the top of the league in their management practices. Why else am I not in love with it? Too cold. An indoor water park should be a warm contrast with an unpleasant and chilly outside world. This one wasn't. Also the acoustics are horrific. It's always too loud to have a conversation and the inaudible but omnipresent music they pipe in only makes it worse. On a crowded day - we attended on a day with only light attendance - this would become an even bigger problem. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. First the website clearly states $40 weekday prices, and was refused this when arriving. This place is so understaffed, more than half the slides are out of service, and they let in about 8 times more people than can be efficiently accommodated, resulting in getting (no I'm not joking here) a total of 3 slides in a 4 hour visit. 1 1/2 hour wait times for slides?! You want to go in the Hot tub? Nope, at least 20 people were in line the whole day, more than a one hour wait. Want a towel? Pay. Want a locker? Pay (even if you bring your own lock) want a tube? Pay. want food? Wait in line for an hour+ then massively overpay. Kids were freezing the entire time, water is way too cold. We went to our simple hotel pool after and had the best time there. We will NEVER return to this abomination of a water park again, is falling apart, in need of massive repairs, and triple the staff. Absolutely inexcusable read more

World Waterpark - Complete false advertising. Paid full price on a Thursday despite this clearly stating $40 - Water Parks Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Hello, solid experience. WE had some confusion with our family pass but we worked something out .

My husband and I always have an amazing time here but today truly took the cake! We took our wedding rings off before riding the toilet bowl slide but my husband dropped them when he got to the bottom. The lovely lifeguards spent 20 minutes diving to find them. We tried telling them that the rings were cheap and we would be fine just leaving our number with guest services but they REFUSED to give up. Truly above and beyond service, we're very thankful! read more

Will never return the lines for slides were 2hrs plus so we decided to go to the wave pool totally unsafe the waves are too strong and sends everyone flying I got my head backed against the ground and someone else and started bleeding lifeguards did nothing about it. The food overpriced the waves also hurt when in contact. The prices for entry were outrageous not even counting the fact you have to pay for lockers.DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Slides: 5 stars Wave pool: 5 stars Food: n/a (didn't partake) Service/attendants: 5 stars Locker rooms: 5 stars Been to West Ed a few times now, never tried the waterpark until this recent Edmonton trip. Was pleasantly surprised. The slides were all excellent. From "beginner" to "extreme", all were fun. Don't know what I was expecting, but the wave pool was more fun than it looked. All the attendants were very friendly. we didn't eat food, but it's unlimited soda with entry. The locker rooms (we used family) were surprisingly clean. The lockers were very convenient--allowing you to go in and out as necessary. The only potential bad thing is the crowds. We went when it wasn't that crowded. So that added to our enjoyment. Highly recommended. read more

The World Water Park is always a good time. I don't know if it's because of the lack of options in Edmonton, but it's a good time. It's also cool to have the option to go to shopping or to a restaurant or to your hotel right after you spend the day swimming and playing! The World Water Park is kind of like a playground for grown ups! Water slides galore will keep you entertained and the stairs up will keep you in shape! The wave pool is fun too. It can get really crowded though so be careful on busy days! It's always a treat to watch someone bungee jump at the water park too - I wouldn't do it but it's fun watching someone else do it. There's a place for snacks and drinks too if you need to refuel and get some energy back in you (they can be pricey though). It's a good time. If you haven't been, you should check it out! read more

2 words.. Sky Screamer. You have to check out the water park and you have to go on the sky screamer. It is more of a free fall than a slide. It's a pretty steep slide and at one point it feels like you aren't even touching the slide, just falling. You get such an intense rush from it that it just amps you up. The best part about the water park is that most of the slides come in doubles. This allows for you to race against friends or even strangers and it just adds to the fun factor. There is a bar inside for anyone who wants to pretend like they are at an all inclusive resort in Cancun. The pool is massive but it's not what the water park is all about, it's more of a spot to take a break between slides. The best is going with a group of people and making a day of it. read more

Tonnes of family fun, so many good slides, great times for all of us! World Waterpark at WEM is a great way to escape the long Edmonton winters. The wave pool is a barrel of fun, our daughter was a huge fan. The water slides are amazingly good fun, I can't remember all of the names but special shout out to Nessie's Revenge. The only bad points are probably related the cost of food and drink in the park, the burgers are a little overpriced for what they are (for example, but I guess that's to be expected in a waterpark). I'd go back for sure! read more

Bought a weekend end pass to the mall for my family. We planned to come on the Saturday and the kids were excited, it was everyone's first trip here. First impression "big" after reading reviews was happy to find it warmer than expected,changing rooms and open area were very warm in the middle of winter. I was Leary of this place after reading the negative reviews over the last couple years. I found it well organized, warm, staff was friendly (change rooms were defiantly being watched close)and prices are just as you hear online. We expected high prices... and were not disappointed lol. But that's expected with such a big place. My complaints here would be hot tub area could be better I have seen better set ups at smaller facilities. It was crowded, it fills up very fast and if you want a chair on the water you better be here in the first hour. It's disappointing to see a hundred on the beach full of towel and just being "held", I would rather see people sitting in those chairs. Maybe a place in the beach for towels might help this??? It seemed wasted...... we would have liked to sit. My kids are 5 and 7. I think if they were in the 9-10yr range we would have had a lot more fun here riding the bigger slides. The 1.5 meter pools at slides ends was "sketchy" for both kids and I was happy I was close when my youngest dropped off into it. For the value of things for a younger family, I have been to smaller,better parks. There was a big big play area for the kids but at the end of the day again I would say if you don't want to be watching your kids like hawks all day and want to have fun as adults too I would say 9-10yr range would have had a much better time. I would say 4-5 stars then. Put this on a list of things to see if you have a full day, get here early and come expecting high prices and you will have a great time. I would recommend this. read more

Always fun for the kids l but there's always some adults that can ruin it for the young ones.overall a good experience unless its super crowded read more

I would really like to give the waterpark more stars as I spent over 6hrs there and had an over all fun time; however there were to many little things to justify. The general admission is $45, however it is pretty easy to get discounted tickets. Check with your hotel as most sell pass for $35 or check around as different business sell them as well. When you get a wristband for entrance (which they will scan at the slides) and you get a wristband with money loaded on so you don't have to worry about cash. This is a nice feature and you are refunded any an used money when you exist. You can also get a towel for a $3 deposit which is also returned when you leave, but keep an eye on your towel as people will take it. When you get into the locker rooms you have to rent a locker ($8 for small, $12 for a large) and this another wristband. I ended up with wearing three wristbands before even existing the locker room. When you rent the locker you do get to choose how many wristbands you want so everyone can have their own. But you do not get every little about which locker you get, you scan your wristband and a locker pops open and that is your locker. The waterpark itself is pretty fun and like I spent I easily spent 6 hrs there. It has lots of slides so there is something for everyone and you can take a break by going to the wave pool, a hot tub are relaxing in one of the chairs. Is you not in the water they have multiple pop machines where you can get free pop which is pretty nice. Overall I would again but not very often because the price and quickly go up for a day out read more

It's $45 for an adult to get in. Then another $8 (at least) for a locker. Then there's linch, assuming you're here for the day. So let that sink in for a moment - that's a lot of money. Is it worth it? Well, yes. At least in canada, there's nothing quite like this place for the size and quality of rides. I won't go through all the slides, but suffice it to say there is something for everyone, even the thrill seeker. And when you're done on the slides, there's a wave pool. Pop is now free here all day long. So should you spend this absurd money to bring your family? If you're here all day and can make it worth it, sure. There's nothing quite like it, and it's worth the experience. read more

We had a great time at the waterpark, so many excellent slides and cool atmosphere. The only thing that I did not like or appreciate was the girls working at the "Pina Colada" lounging area. They acted as if my boyfriend and I were "imposing" on their conversation. They were not finished weighing out the liquor product which I though was ridiculous since it was 1:30pm and the open sign was out. We ended up not being able to order a drink so we refunded our wristbands. Awesome time besides the staff at the Pina Colada lounge. read more

Always a great time at the water park. Pricey to get in, but well worth it for the waves and beach like setting. The water slides are also fun! There is a baby and kid section as well for anyone coming as a family. There's a bar inside the Waterpark as well to grab a drink or food. I still have yet to try the zip line over the Waterpark but it is on my list to do on the next visit. Highly recommend anyone visiting Edmonton to add this to their list. Weekdays vs weekends are less busy, Monday-Thursday is usually discounted and more enjoyable. read more

A fun but expensive day! I am glad we got discounted tickets. The interior could use a BIG touch up but in general it does seem clean. The slides are all fun, even if I lack the stones to do the extreme ones. Splash cash is a great idea. No need to carry cash as it can go on a waterproof wrist band. Regular hi-ball and beer prices are good! Specialty stuff adds up. The menu is pretty small but it is a waterpark, what do you expect! read more

When I first moved to Edmonton, it was a bit of a running joke to say "well at least they have the Waterpark". All joking aside though, Edmonton IS lucky to have it. The Waterpark is actually a lot of fun. I've been here twice in the last month with visitors from Calgary who wanted to check it out and I was surprised to find that it didn't get boring. Some of the slides seem so much scarier than they were when I was a kid. I remember fearlessly going down the Blue Bullet like it was nobody's business. However even that was pretty exhilarating. Maybe it goes with the territory of being a good foot taller than I was last time I went to the park? For the thrill-seekers among us, the new "Cyclone" will give you your money's worth. After copious peer pressuring from my friends, I was finally convinced to give it a try. When it's finally your turn to ride, you step into a glass capsule. I've got to say, the second the attendant shut the door I wanted out. However, once you're at that point there is no turning back. After a short countdown the floor drops out from beneath you and you are sent rocketing down the slide. Apparently you reach speeds of up to 60 km/h! While I won't say it was a pleasant sensation, it certainly was thrilling. It definitely was one of the most adrenaline-fueled experiences of my life (though don't think you'll EVER convince me to do it again!). The general admission cost of the park is a bit steep ($37), there are ways around it: it isn't too hard to come by a 2 for 1 coupon. They also offer a discounted rate for the last 3 hours of the day. I'm sure I'll be back the next time a friend visits me and honestly I'm kind of looking forward to it. read more

To start this review off i think it is disgusting that any water park or leisure centre would charge $12.00 for a locker that they know you need as a necessity to keep your valuables and clothes safe and away from thieves. Also they had the mens change rooms closed so they had to use the family change rooms with all the small children that shouldn't be seeing male genitalia. And also the vulgar language from the high school kids that were in the change rooms with the kids. read more

I found myself in the sticky situation of passing through Edmonton on the May Long Weekend, with about half a day to kill. May Long Weekend? Why not go to the waterpark, right? Yeah, it was a zoo, but that's what I expected and I got what I deserved. I'm going to start with the "good" about this place, before I get into the bad. The good? There are quite a few slides, some of which I'm too chicken to get on ... so there definitely are thrills to be had. Despite the massive amount of people there, lineups - though long - were still liveable. I ski... I can't bitch about lines. People of all ages seemed to be having a good time, whether it was the dedicated kiddie areas, the wavepool, or the advanced slides. Hey it's a big park, and you are going to find your place for a good time somewhere. But let's get to the cons: This place could be warmer all the way around. I found myself standing in the long lineups freezing my ass off, and normally I'm pretty warm blooded. If fact I'm the guy who starts temperature wars at the office, because it's always too hot. The air at the waterpark seemed too cool for that much wet skin... and I felt the water in general could also have been warmer. People literally were lining up for their chance at sitting in a hot tub to ward of hypothermia. Next - as my ex-lifeguard friend pointed out, she thought the wave pool situation was a little bit much. It was really crowded in the middle, and when the waves started and the mass of people churning on top (many on tubes).... a smaller kid could easily go under and not be noticed. I didn't really think of it until she pointed it out, but yeah, I saw her point. Hopefully they at least have underwater cameras that someone is monitoring. Speaking of cameras, I think I'd ban cameras from the viewing gallery. Literally creepers rolling video on all the scantily clad bodies in front of them. The food situation could have been better. A Loooonnggg line for the one cashier. The park seemed to be showing its age in a lot of ways, especially rusting metal. The price of admission and lockers for a family would be pretty steep, I think... And finally, the change rooms seemed a little sketchy to me. Like I'd never take a shower at a gym without wearing flipflops... and I felt like walking across the floor in bare feet was playing with fire. Lots of standing water that people walk through, that never drains (crown the floors, guys). Also.... Hey how bout moving the benches back from the lockers a little? There's lots of space! I'm sitting there changing, facing the locker... and dudes barely have the room to get by you. Awkward if they have their junk hanging out. read more

I'd give this a solid 4 stars. It's expensive but that is to be expected. We opted to get a cabana and it was honestly great. I think it made the whole thing much better. From just having a place to hangout away from crowds and also lockers right beside you. You need to order at the bar for food and drink and they deliver to the cabana but they should say they don't deliver cutlery or condiments so you don't need to go back up. That was kinda annoying. Other than that, this place is a scream. We went in a group of 4 adults and one kid so we really tried out pretty much everything with the exception of the hot tubs, tubing slides at the read of the room, the zip line and the surfing simulator. We watched the surfing for a while and it's very entertaining even if you are not taking part. The wave pool was where we spent most of our time hopping on the tubes and catching some waves. They are wild and a few of us wiped out. The shallow end is where I was mostly with my daughter and she just loved the waves. They have little lifejackets for small kids for free so that was awesome. The kids pool had three little slides and a few other fun activities plus nice and shallow for little ones. The water play zone and Caribbean Cove was AMAZING. A jungle gym with water guns, tubs and a massive bucket at the top that periodically drops and drenches you. I got caught in it and laughed for about 20 mins after. Hilarious. There is a slide at the top but really little ones can't go down it. The Caribbean Cruiser is a great one to go down with your kid tho. So the slides... there are loads of flumes all different levels and I thought, yeah it's a slide like, how scary can it be? They are all mental lol Tropical Typhoon makes you feel like you are going down the drain and you fall out into a deep pool. Corkscrew is super fun, you can race your friends on this one and all the twists and turns are great. But you guys the Cyclone is the one that sends you up in a loop. Yeah but I didn't realize you go into a capsule at the top, there is a countdown then the floor falls away and it's a vertical drop!!! It was terrifying. I screamed a lot. I don't think I'll do it again... but I did it! read more

Decided to spend my day at the water park! At first I thought the $40 entrance was a little on the steep side. But after spending the entire day there I quickly realized it's worth it! For a family of 3 buying tickets online (saves you 10%) you're looking at spending about $95+ food. And there's also the extra cost of a inner tube for some of the slides (not a requirement) and the wave pool. That was $5 and had the option of checking it when you weren't using it. It had been close to 7 years since my last visit, and a lot has changed. A few slides have been since replaced with some slightly death defying ones. All of which I took the risk and tried. Gotta get my monies worth, right? I even tried out the kids climber area! The pool area and change rooms were clean and well maintained. Chlorine levels seemed to be high enough due to the distinct pool smell throughout! But not so high that my eyes hurt. There were numerous eateries to choose from offering snacks, pizza, fries, burgers, etc. All surprisingly decently priced considering the venue. I would suggest budgeting about $20 a person for lunch/snacks/drinks. We did however bring our own lunch and just had a snack towards the end. I highly recommend using their bracelet payment system, it avoids having to carry cash. As for the negatives... I wouldn't trust the slide attendants with my life! They spend most of their time flirting and not really paying too much attention as to what's going on. The lifeguards in the wave pool however are on top of things. And last but certainly not least... This is BAD TATTOO CENTRAL! so bad you could host a reality series dedicated to it! read more

Whether you're young or old, you can't help but admire this spetacle crammed in West Edmonton Mall. From a super large wave pool to colorful slides cris-crossing each other, even adults can't help but let their inner child splash away. Toddlers and young children can splash in the kiddie pool complete with machines to pump water and a mini slide. There's even a large splash pad with working pipes spraying water everywhere. Teens can take a trip down ol' Blue Bullet or soar to new heights with Nessie's revenge. Adults can hang out in a very nice hot tub or take a relaxing ride down one of the inner-tube related tracks. For the most part, it seemed very clean. I didn't eat any of the food they were serving but I doubt people go to the waterpark to eat. Line-ups weren't bad at all but the price of admission and locker rental were quite steep. At least you can spend the entire day there to get your money's worth! read more

Pros: Minimal lineups Family Change room - number of rooms(only) Access to the slides - my kids, 5 and 7 could go on 80% of the slides. Slides were a lot of fun. Wave pool, ok. Cons: Customer Service. Lacking at every level. Management should send these snotty teenagers to one of any Great Wolf Lodge waterparks to learn how to deal with the public. Age/Condition of park(from slides to wave pool). Temperature of Water Park(see Great Wolf Lodge - 80degrees) Towel Rental Fee Tube Rental Fee Family Change room, dirty, old and the individual rooms lacked benches and usable hooks for bags, trunks, etc Did I mention it was cold?? Scaffolding all over the place. Kind of a worrisome site when you are 50ft above the ground and right beside you on a platform is 300lbs of equipment. PRICE!!! As you can see, going to a GWL within 30 days of going to the World Waterpark really skewed not only my review but my total experience. The attendants were not friendly at all. They were snotty and were kinda pissed that they had to answer questions. I am not sure what they were so pissy about they have nothing to do. They have a red/green light system to tell riders when to go down the slides. They are really there to make sure people are going down one at a time. Not a trying job. But I will say this appears to be an Alberta thing. Poor attitude and customer service across the board. My kids had a blast, but at that price I expect a lot more from top to bottom. read more

The slides are so much fun, you really can't match the experience anywhere else. They also have free Coke machines all over the park! The down side is you really pay for it, and then some. $50 just for entry, and another $8 for the locker (and no, you can't leave your things in them and just not lock it). Anyone over 48 inches is considered an adult, and yes they measure. For $58 per each adult and kid, I won't be returning. Fun slides though. read more

This place is awesome! They have huge wave pool with waves being generated quite often and big in size. There is lots of slides. Everyone will find his favourite. I recommned extreme ones, especially cyclone and sky screamers. They are not that scary as they look, the worst part is the waiting for the launch. When you go for the first time on that, later you keep coming back again and again. They also have a quite long zip line and place for surfing. There is lots of free drinks available: different kind of coke, and some other fruit drinks. Also there is a bar where you can buy alcohol drinks. Very nice place, definitely would like to return there. read more

The water in the family change room was too cold. Lockers were too small. The support staff lacks courtesy and mannerism. These part time kids are totally unprofessional read more
