Me and my kids had an alright experience here. The park is a good size; it's not too big, not too small. We drove almost an hour to get there, even though it was pretty easy to find and park. We were very disappointed that some of the attractions were closed. I asked several employees about it and got different answers as to why. Their lockers were expensive; they only had two options, not three like some others. When it was time to eat, the line took forever just to order, then another long wait to come out. All together, over 1.5 hours. We enjoyed some of the rides... I'm not sure if we would go again, considering their high cover prices.

Busy place of course it's summer. Really my number one complaint is not enough tubes for the park. The lifeguards do their best to enforce the rule of no hoarding. Seems they could use more tubes to accommodate the vast number of people. Water could have less debris and food prices are ridiculous. Do yourself a favor and pack lunches in a cooler and leave them in your car. Get a hand stamp to re-enter the park LOCATED AT THE EXIT little trailer to the right. No outside food or drinks. However, YOU CAN take a tumbler for water as the park is good at reminders to stay hydrated. They have 2 hydration stations to fill your tumblers. Overall good family fun and the water temp is great!! They will search your bags so follow the rules. If you can leave the valuables in the car do so lockers are 18 - 20$. Be nice to the young men and women who work there. Most of them are high-school kids there for the summer they don't make the rules. Kindness goes a long way!!

SUPER fun water park! I LOVE water parks and Big Kahuna's is my new favorite! Very clean, well maintained fun park for the entire family. This fun park is packed with a large variety of fun slides, rides, 2 lazy rivers, wave pool, and 2 toddler areas just to name a few highlights. Plenty of parking, chairs, picnic tables, inflatable tubes and life jackets. Highly recommend!!

I'm going to try this one more time since my VERY HONEST review was removed. We took our family to your waterpark today, it was FILTHY, water was DIRTY, and lifeguards were RUDE! Several lifeguards closed their slides at 515pm because they "had to clean up" other just blatantly ignored the rules or made up their own. There is trash ALL OVER THE PARK, old buildings in disrepair, with rotting wood and old rusty nails sticking out just waiting to give someone tetanus, and MANY RIDES WERE CLOSED. A lifeguard on the lazy river totally ignored a little girl screaming for help; she was then pushed by several adults before my husband assisted her back into a tube and helped her get to the steps. The exit is not guarded or monitored AT ALL, which is a HUGE safety concern, not to mention where several "customers" snuck in with whatever they wanted to bring into the park. It's time for the health department to make a visit (even though somehow you passed on June 20)

We visited on Memorial Day weekend Saturday. It was busy. We knew it would be, so we reserved a cabana and cabana host. So glad we did! We were in Crocodile Flats. It's toward the back of the park and very convenient to one of the lazy rivers, a couple of slide and the exits. It is a hike to get to the other side of the park and the main water slides from this area. We spent about 2 or so hours on the main side, but really enjoyed the smaller area where our cabana was. You cannot bring in your own food. They do have rental lockers. We didn't see issues for this day without a cabana rental finding seats, but we were in the less frequented area. The cabana is covered, with patio type seating. Our cabana host would go to the food court for us, so we didn't have to stand in any long lines for food or drinks. If you have a large group (we had 8), I do think it is worth the extra cost.
