Went with a bunch of toddlers and teenagers, it was fun! We were only there for less than 2 hours but we all had a good time there. It's a bit expensive for what it has to offer but i guess it's not bad when you visit once in a while.

Had my daughter's softball league hold a post-season family night after hours, and it was truly a great time and a wonderful place. We'll definitely be making the 30 min. drive to visit again this summer.

This place has everything! I love that the snack bar prices are not outta, everything was very clean, and the lifeguards are always watching. It was a great place to take the kids, and us adults had a blast. The lazy river is great, and the difference in each slide was awesome for different levels of children. We will definitely be back!

Just beautiful all around!! ABSOLUTELY loved this water park... It's amazing for kids. The lazy river is relaxing for adults (depth 3ft) and it has a walk in beach style entrance so it's easily accessible. I really appreciate that they have a concession but I would prefer they allow people to bring their own food. I'M OK with it, but if a family of 4 wants to go IT gets EXPENSIVE with the cost of admission alone, to then be forced to purchase food for lunch. NON RESIDENTS $16 EACH LOCKER rental ($2 Additional) Changing rooms with curtain Restrooms Lounge chairs HUGE UMBRELLAS for shade in the kids area. I did not make use of the children's areas, or water slides so I can't really say much other than they looked very nice and the kids were all having a blast. Check it out!! Enjoy.

A hot day called for a cold activity, so this was the spot my significant other and I landed at! There was free parking here, so that was a great way to start things off right. I was hoping that it would be worth the price. They did allow us to leave and return, so that was good. We just had to get a stamp on our hand. The first thing to do was to go barefoot! Luckily, we were each able to find a chair to relax at for a bit. The heat started to kick in, so we ended up at the Main Pool for our first activity here. There was a rather large crowd of people in there, so after swimming for a small bit, we headed out. For me, it wasn’t worth my time. After that, we explored the Slides that Barefoot Bay had to offer. I tried out the blue enclosed body slide first. This slide was a positive start with a mild thrill. I ended up going on it again later. After this one, I rode the yellow and white open body slide. This one was simply alright. It was pretty slow. After that one, I grabbed a Single Tube and went down the red and white slide. It was pretty wild! My significant other and I ended up trying it out on a Double Tube not long after and I’d definitely say it was a better experience than riding it on a Single Tube. We basically flipped over at the end! I’d say these slides were good for almost everyone. Since we completed all of the slides, we decided to go on the Lazy River. We each tried it out on a Single Tube first. The flow was fantastic in here and it gave an ample opportunity to tan. We even came back later to try it on a Double Tube. I’d say it was much easier to relax this way. This was by far the most relaxing part of my day! The whole place was very clean. I was impressed by that. I expected it to be worse than it was with so many people in attendance. The staff was strict for the most part, but in a place like this, that was great to see! I’d say they were friendly, too. Overall, this was a laid-back place for some fun outside. I can’t say I’d come back here, because it was a bit of a drive. It was still worth the experience! Date of visit: 6/24/23
