Hurricane Harbor Chicago

Hurricane Harbor Chicago is a fantastic place for a fun family day! The water rides are thrilling, and there’s something for everyone, from the lazy river to the more adventurous slides. The park was well-maintained, and as a cleaning service owner, I really appreciated how clean and tidy the facilities were, especially considering how busy it gets. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for a day of fun in the sun!

On the disappointing side - all the body slides were closed, and the one tower of four tube slides were operated very slowly, only one rider at a time down all four. I really like the water coaster since you can ride it solo, but there are only like 5 rafts and you have to stand in line for a long time for one, then walk up a TON of stairs since SF didn't feel the need to include a lift hill. Wave pool waves are pretty small, compared to others, and even the kid's splash tower was closed except for the bottom level. Attractions-wise, and operations-wise, it's disappointing.

I've had numerous sub par experiences with hurricane harbor over the past five years, but Sat June 3rd 2023 takes the cake for the worst. 2/3rds of the attractions were closed. Mat slides closed. Tube slides in the back of park by kids area closed. Kids slides closed. Lazy river also closed. Drop slides closed. Family raft slides both closed. Their new water coaster they advertise like crazy for, closed halfway through the day. What little that was open, had such a long queue, because everything else was closed, it wasn't even viable. By that I mean 60+ mins to get a raft and go down a slide. So anyone purchasing a day pass here basically got the equivalent of access to their neighborhood pool, since it was the only thing useable. Which also meant the pool was overcrowded. Amazing that such a large increase in season pass fees and they can't even come remotely close to staffing the park the first hot weather weekend day after memorial day weekend. Food lines were crazy long. We waited 19minutes for burgers being 2nd in line before the lunch rush, which means 30+ mins easy to get food during lunchtime. (yes, I time my meals at six flags from time ordered at register on my receipt, because it's become the family standing joke after multiple previous 50+ minute waits for food.). I highly recommend to avoid this park until they get it together, or at least go in with the lowest possible expectations. Pics of a few of the many closed attractions.

Hurricane Harbor visit for the first time. Everyday hours during summer were 11-5 and the line moved pretty quick at open time to enter. Park was spread out nicely and food options were everywhere. A few of the rides were down for the day which was a bummer but plenty to do overall. Only gripe was the lines at some of the rides. Numerous tube rides had a wait time of 30-45 min which is no different than the six flags roller coasters but longer than expected overall. Being that the season pass isn’t expensive, I’m sure we’ll revisit again next summer.

Can't you paint all the steps that go up to the water slides? They are so dirty and old that you just don’t want to walk on them barefoot !!! The water is dirty , The lifeguards are very rude and impudent, they should be fired , the line is so long that in a whole day you can only ride three or four slides ! The prices are not true. They are very high. They get millions, but they can't even buy a can of paint to paint the stairs. Shame! Some areas of the territory smell very much like a toilet. If you go outside the territory for 5 minutes, you must line up again to get back inside. 🤪🤪 no hygiene !
