    The most important, tickets are only sold online, you must buy them before you go. the staff at the window, bag checkers and those at the entrance are very friendly. lines move fast, do not bring any glass containers, any weapons or alcoholic beverages, you can bring food and drinks. There are also food stand, I recommend pizzas and chicken fingers, there are beverage vending machines. The pools were clean and the staff working in the pools were very friendly. The bathrooms could be cleaner, but they are acceptable, the bathrooms have dispensers with hand soap, mirrors, a hook to hang your bag, changing rooms, changing tables for babies, there are bathrooms for men, women and family, the showers in the bathrooms don't work at the moment, they have showers outside, near the pool. I would love that one day they will increase the amount of sun umbrellas and chairs, you can bring your chairs and sun umbrellas, you can place them in the sand area. When leaving the staff said goodbye with a big smile. It was a very pleasant visit and that today Sunday, July 3, is a very busy day. Excellent job to all the team members, their uniforms were impeccable as was their service. Excellent place to go with children. 😉 👍

    This is a pretty decent water park considered most are strictly for residents only, non-residents pay an additional charge but well with in reasonable amount, they also have reduced prices after 4pm entering, which is 18$ for 4hrs still pretty decent if you're looking for something near by and saves you from driving down to the shore, staff is very friendly & the lifeguards are always attentive actually better than any other locations I Have ever experienced making it a safe environment for the kids! Which always makes it worth it!

    The park was very small and quiet. Not many people at all. The tickets are expensive for what they have to offer inside. Just one adult slide, one kiddie pool. There was no wave pool. One of the other fun rides was running but closed. There are many lifeguards and they are helpful. The tickets should not be more than $20/adult. Nothing for the babies except for the lazy River which was also very boring. I think they have a lot or improve upon. Not coming here again.

    Staff is super friendly. Like to get in was long but went fast. Lazy river was awesome very long line about 30 minute wait. Go early for an available grill and table. You can leave your things there without worry. Food line was so long I didn't get to try it. Kids has a blast

    Small but perfect for a afternoon trip with the kids. Outside food is allowed but they also have a luncheonette with affordable prices. Non-residents pay different price, a little higher. After 4pm, entrance is cheaper. The taller slides require riders to be a minimum height of 48inches. It has a lazy river, 2 bigger pools and too smaller ones. There is also a sprinklers kid play area and an obstacles pool game.

    I really liked this park. The people that work there were very friendly and nice. My family had a blast there. I would say that I found the price a little high for my budge since everyone pays $30 no matter the age. (Others might find it ok)

    This is our first time getting a season pass for the summer and it is definitely worth it. Our family got weekday passes because it IS terribly crowded on weekends. When I take my son it is always extremely clean, and all the employees are kind and focused on keeping everyone safe. If you look around, there are tons of lifeguards and maintenance people checking to make sure the entire park is running smoothly. I also signed my son up for swimming lessons here, which were super affordable. I cannot say enough about how great the swim instructors are: they are supportive and know how to reach even young children.

    Used to go here more often when our kids were young. It’s a great place to enjoy the day during the summer. If you live in East Brunswick, definitely join for the summer, it’s a great deal. The rules are overkill and can sometimes be annoying but it’s better to be safe than sorry. You can bring food in or buy at the concession stand.

    It's clean. It's also very expensive for what it is. It might be because there are about 1 lifeguard per 5 customers. These awkward creepy teens stand around looking bored out of their minds (suffering from no cell phone use) staring at you while you try to relax, one yelled at me for gently getting in the poll "No Jumping!!!" - either she wanted me to notice her and/or she had self esteem issues. I was there with my beautiful wife... The barely there rent a cop bag checker by the entrance is rude and holds the line up by getting confused and chatting with customers rather than passing them to staff that are standing around w nothing to do. There seems to be a lack of chairs for all customers as well as people hoarding unattended chairs via the I put my towel on it method. So most people sit on concrete if they want to sit or they brought their own chairs with them. The parking lot is unpaved, kind of ghetto. From looking at the parking lot and the actual space inside it seems like they filled the place up 2x over capacity. Overall there's about 1 hrs of "fun" you can have at the lazy river and the little slides. Most likely it will be too busy when you're there and you will wait in line to get in the lazy liver just to have people squeezed by you. It's just barely okay, but I wouldn't go back.

    Great place to spend time with your family at the hot summer day. My kids enjoy this water park so much. We were here many times and every time we had great experience. There is a lot of lifeguards so you can feel absolutely safe here. Ticket price is competitive.

    Bad value for money. 1 star for cleanliness. 1 star for friendly entry staff. But the rest? This was an extremely odd experience. What’s going on here?? Way too many Lifeguards treating attentive and caring adults like toddlers! What’s wrong with you? You are destroying every single second of light-hearted joy under the guise of safety. Children are not allowed to do anything - most of all having fun. I felt like an 5-year old doing everything wrong. Our kids are very well behaved. They didn’t dare to do anything because of the lifeguards permanent whistling and rebuking all the people all the time. If you come here, you‘ll feel awkward observed all the time. From my point of view the owner has a big problem of control addiction. We will never come back and won’t recommend that place. You pay a huge amount of money for being treated like you‘re dumb as a stump.

    Pretty good park, but would have liked a second food vendor and maybe some scooped ice cream instead of the ice pops they had.

    A great time! Bring your own cooler with food and drinks, they have grills around for use, or purchase food there. Lazy River is very clean and relaxing, water slides are fun, and no long lines. Beach chairs available if you get there in time. Can't beat the price for a day in the water!

    Great place for families with young children. Seating and tables available, however I would recommend you bring chairs on busy weekends or holidays. Grills are available on a first come basis, they do not allow you to bring in your own grills. There’s a small pool, lazy river, slides, and kids play area.

    $30 for a day pass, and you're only allowed 6 hours out of the day. You have to sit in the scorching sun until they let you in at 12pm. I could understand 10 am, but nope, 12 pm. There is no discount for a 4 year old which is ridiculous. I will never come back to this place. My husband wanted to swim one last time before Summer was over, and the lakes were closed. We paid $90 for 6 hours... not to mention there's only one pool for adults that you can't even swim in cause it's too crowded. It's just not with the price. Never again!

    I don’t know how I’ve lived in the area for 5 years without knowing this existed, but I love it and can’t wait to go again! The whole place is so clean. There are lifeguards everywhere and they’re all on the BALL all day. Staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities are in great shape, the lazy river is the BEST, there’s enough for everyone to do all day! Concessions are a bit pricey but you can bring your own food and drink.

    If you're going for a full fledged water park where the adults can get a thrill, this isn't the place to go but that doesn't take away from what this place has to offer for families. Kid slides, a couple of pools, a lazy river, and some adult slides give a good balance for everyone. The food was surprisingly good and didn't break the bank, I'd come here again.

    The place was terrific, very clean and spacious went on a Monday I think it would be very busy on the weekends. Staff was polite and helpful, I didn't notice a snack bar but you can bring your own food and drinks in with you. I highly recommend a visit for the price!

    Cool place to plan a day trip with kids even if you aren't from town. We planned ahead and like other reviewers suggested brought our own chairs, food and necessary items to basically camp out at whatever private-ish spot we found. We were not dissapointed at all, the kids enjoyed the pools and the rides offered. For lil kids be sure to wear water shoes, the toddler area forces you to wrap around the hot cement in order to come down the slides. Unfortunately, the lifeguards weren't too mindful of this and many little ones were jumping up and down from burning feet! Maybe a mat would help?

    Love the family oriented experience but man let me tell you those poor life guards must go through some rigorous training. I thought they were enjoying the music so happens that they need to nod their heads up and down the entire time they are on duty and let them find you doing the slightest thing wrong you would get whistled and corrected. I felt like i was on some type of sporting even with all the whistling. I kept thinking i was gonna get yelled at on the lazy River! To much of a policing attitude then anything but that’s they way they are programmed I guess. Overall the park is great and family friendly.

    I had this recreation place for the children.. today Sunday, in fact they will be in this place until 12 noon and I arrived just at the time.. and I was only with my little one for 25 minutes because it started to rain., they took us out to races everyone, it was very unpleasant, because these people are not very nice and they do not refund your money oh they give you an opportunity for another ticket to come back another day .. really the ticket is a bit expensive .! Just check the weather before paying for your expensive ticket!

  • 4/5 Angel V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place we had a lot of fun. Except more chairs would be helpful. Due to people there in groups of 10 or more there was not many chairs available to anyone else, when I noticed one chair was available I put my stuff on it just to have my stuff thrown on the ground which was very alarming to me. A reservation should be made for people that are going to have groups of ten people or more & would be helpful if this was posted on the website so other people going with a party of two say can be aware no chairs are going to be available as soon as the place opens up. Just because they're in a big group that does not mean they own the chairs there and it's OK to throw other people's stuff on the ground. Not right not fair. Supervisor's please be on the lookout out.

    Amazing ! First they are super organized. Lifeguards security are on top of their game and super professional. They are all around making sure all kids and adults are safe . One kid fell off obstacle course and looked like couldn’t swim a worker passing by didn’t even give the life guard a chance jumped in sneakers equipment and all to make sure that child got out safely. They file reports for every case also. They don’t like jumping into the pool by the slides and looked like the security and lifeguards all worked together to settle an issue. My little one got stung by a bee first aid was great help. They reported where it happened etc.. the food line was very very long .. and slow it . It’s a small park so there was only once location for all ice cream and food .. The picnic bbqs area can use some updating lots of ants but what parks don’t . All in all good experience for some water fun. Lazy river and obstacle course were our favorite. Great family day

    Small waterpark, best for kids. Not worth the price though compared to rides and activities. Overall ok.

  • 5/5 Gabriel M. 8 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend this watermark and pool for families with kids. The park is very clean, there is ample staff to cover all areas while your kids run around. The activities keep the kids busy all day and entry is smooth once you make it through the line. We come here often and the kids love it every time!
