    Kids over 36' are $32.99 in location. $8 for parking. $11-15 for locker. The food was decent. Cheese burger fries $10 kids meal mini corn dogs and fries $7. Bags are checked at entry. Only water and 1 snack is allowed. Restrooms were clean. Lifeguards were attentive and staff was friendly. My toddler had the time of his life. We were there 4 hours.

    We have had season passes for a couple years. My children ages 5, 7, 13, & 15 have fun every time we go and usually end up making a friend or two to hang out with while we're there. The water is usually clean. If it gets cloudy, they've been good about closing the attraction and treating the water. Staff is friendly and respectful. The food is theme park food. Pizza, chicken strips, fries, popcorn, hot dogs, mini corn dogs, i believe theres an orange chicken bowl?, salads, etc. Edible but Nothing great. But hey there's Dippin Dots!

    They hosted the Special Olympics, and I was honored to come out and support the Henderson Police Department on behalf of our Company McShane LLC with our Vice President. Such an amazing and friendly team, great food, great rides. Will definitely come back again.

    Fun for all ages. The lines for the rides will be 10-15 mins but are worth the wait. If you feel yourself overheating and are near the 4 slides in the back, they will pour water over you to cool you off if needed.

    The lights did not disappoint. The Santa was cordial and talkative, he didn't break character even with my twelve year old. A food court employee was extremely courteous, there was a slight delay in receiving food and he definitely gave good service. It was pretty empty when we got there which was great for seeing everything without the crowd. The entertainer (hula hippie, I think) was really good as well. Overall great experience, though it was a little pricey.

    Had the best day ever on the 4th of July. That firework show was the best I've ever seen. Was busy but lines moved very fast. Food and drinks and service was outstanding!

    Cowabunga Bay waterpark is the perfect place to retreat from the Vegas heat. Plenty of things for little kids, teens & adults like rides , water slides, a lazy river, wave pool , splash pads & ect. The water is cool and refreshing. The park meets all your needs offering lockers, life vests, floaties, a store, food, dip n dots ice cream & slushies. Park grounds were clean and lifeguards were friendly.

    CBW was a lot of fun. Very busy. The whole water park was filled people camp out where they could. The water was clean and lots of staff around to help. Long lines everywhere which was a good thing because it was good service and good food. The gift shop was a nice stop before leaving. Great for all ages. Parking was available.

    Now to start the service was very nice, the slides were plenty of fun with lots of variety. the prices are good to enter the park but for a locker it cost 12-16 dollars and for a cabana it can be $250. *Warning* this is one of the only water parks that weights you which can be shameful for some folks. There was an incident while there, a 22 yo girl almost drowned while on the pink slide.

    It is our favorite place to visit every time we are in Vegas. They have great ticket deals online. Lot of seats in the shade. Lines to the slides are hard to manage in the heat tho. LOTS OF FUN for the whole family!!! Highly recommended 👌

    My family and I get passes each year. It's a great place to have fun and stay cool when it's blazing hot outside! We also go on the 4th of July. It's not overly crowded, and we get the front row to a great fireworks display!

    This place is so much fun. Great escape from the heat. I feel bad for the business that they have to operate at 50% capacity but right now is definitely the time to go. No long lines, things move pretty quickly. You get to enjoy more slides at faster pace. Lazy river or wave pool are not as congested as they could be at regular capacity. Well worth it. Season pass is also worth purchasing if you go at least 3x in a season, except these days you never know how long they'll be able to stay open.

    The lines weren't long but very inefficient in the way the staff moved people on the slides and attractions. There were many times staff stopped rides when other staff didn't understand why. If the movement were better it would have been an enjoyable time. Definitely don't recommend.

    We decided to finally go to the water park since the winds stopped and it was sunny out! We had an AMAZING time! The water was at the perfect temperature and we did not encounter any issues for our 2022 visit to the park. Have been season pass holders for over 7 years now since the park opened and to this day I have no complaints. I only wish that they would have never closed off the middle walk way that they used to have that made it easier to get to the wave pool and kids cove.

    I went with a group of friends and one of us had the POGO Pass. It's a fun place with good rides and funnel cake and Dippin dots! The only thing I don't like is having to pay for parking...$10 is not bad but when you spend so much for the pass, parking should be included.

    Pros: The staff members were beyond friendly and willing to speak up to groups who were acting inappropriately , cutting in line, or using inappropriate language. I was very impressed with them! They also went through the longer ride lines asking if anyone needed water or wanted some cool water poured on them! 10/10 for the lifeguards running the rides! Special shoutout to the lifeguard in the Lightning McQueen crocs! She was so friendly and kept the lines moving as efficiently as possible! She seemed to be very dedicated to the safety of guests but also was fun and kind! The locker system was great, just scan your wristband and you’re good to go! In other theme parks you must remember your locker number and a code. This was very streamlined and convenient. The lockers were also a decent size, we got the small size for $12 and it fit everything we needed The rides were really fun and different from other water parks I had been to! The park was very well staffed and very clean everywhere except the bathrooms. Cons: The lines are incredibly long, we went on a Wednesday, waited over 1.5hrs for one slide. Children kept getting stuck in the pink slide. We waited over an hour in line for food not during typical lunch or dinner hours. While in that line, we witnessed 2 people pass out without any attention from staff. When I alerted them that someone passed out they didn’t seem to know what to do, and it took about 5 minutes for anyone to assist the individual, despite first aid being right next door. There were also many bathroom doors missing locks, I tried 4 stalls before being able to find one with a locking door. Additionally, the bathrooms did not look like they had been cleaned all day, between the missing locks and dirty stalls, it was hard to find a functional stall. As an additional note, this is the only water park where you have to be publicly weighed before accessing the ride which I understand can be upsetting for some people. I only noticed my actual weight displayed at one attraction. The rest were either a green or red light. Overall, the experience was lackluster, after paying $122 just to access the park (2 people, $50 each, $10 for parking, $12 for locker) we were met with long long lines which lead to us having to stay until close to be able to do most of the park.

    Honestly after reading some of the reviews (to get an idea of what to do first and what not) after buying my tickets I kind of had regrets but there will always be people who will complain about everything no matter what. Parking is 10$ for the day. Locker is 12$ for the day. Specific day pass was 24$ per person. 2 older children. One year old. And 2 adults. Children under two are free(I didn’t know this nor does it say it when buying on line) lost a star because of this. Souvenir cup was $25. unlimited free refills. A lot of the staff that we spoke to super friendly, nobody was passive aggressive or unknowledgeable. Unfortunately, they had to close the park in the afternoon due to thunderstorms but it quickly past and re opened. Pools were clean. I don’t understand why people would complain about a little chlorine smell here and there(there are thousands of people going in and out of that water(not to mention the amount of people who urinate in the water)) at least they are trying to keep it clean. Lines for the rides were less than 30 minutes, or none at all to where we could get on over and over again. We picked a nice little spot next to the wave pool. Nobody messed with our stuff. Not a lot of umbrellas to keep in the shade but a lot of chairs available. (Wish they could provide complementary sunblock) spent 20$ on it and luckily I didn’t forget it. It was 115°. We had to all reapply 3 to 5 times throughout the day to not get to burned.

    Fun slides, cheap enough, lines were pretty short. The food was expensive, though. Like i wanted dippin dots and it was a lot for even a kids serving. Heads up: the first time i went there were 3 cringy couples, the second time i went there was a couple that looked straight out of elementary school. Tip: tickets are cheaper if you buy them online ahead of time

    It's a very nice park. Both the Cowabunga parks are very similar. I'm very comfortable with the life guarding in the park . The lazy river was lovely, it was so busy we had to wait 2-3 rounds in the river to get a floaty. There isn't very much shade, but we were able to find some to cool off with slushy drinks (yes, of course they were expensive, almost $9 for a regular size - 1/3rd more than Starbucks if that's possible). The food looked good, but we didn't eat there . It's too bad it goes to weekend only so early in the year, but kids go back to school here early in August. So check to make sure they are open when you want to go . Costco locally has 2 tickets and parking for $30 each = a cost of $60. Parking cost is $10 alone, unless you have a season pass with parking. Value of this would be: $110 regular price, instead of the $60 at Costco. General Admission — $49.99 Under 42" (Gate Only) — $34.99 Seniors 65+ (Gate Only) — $34.99 Military with Valid ID (Gate Only) — $39.99 Summer Nights (Last 3 Hours of Posted Closing Time) (Gate Only) — $29.99

    This was our first time here and we got the deal for the season passes. With the season pass we didn't have to wait in line. For this time we decided to get a cabana and our servers were great, very attentive and fast, friendly service.

  • 4/5 Alice W. 10 months ago on Google
    Long waiting lines which makes it feel like most of the time you're just waiting in line more than having fun. I wish they had more fun rides. It's nice that they have drinks for adults and kids and they have a season pass for drinks buy your cup and get free refills on it on all day of the soda fountain drinks. They have plenty of snack options. And plenty of lifeguards on site making it feel safe for you and your little ones. I like that they have showers to rinse off at the end of the day so you don't go home smelling like chlorine. Also have lockers to rent to put your belongings in. And people with season passes have bracelets that you can put money on so you're not carrying your wallet everywhere with you fast and convenient. Also love that they keep it pretty clean over there they have people making sure the place has little to no garbage flying everywhere from those people who for some reason never heard of the garbage can. It's a fun place to take your little ones they have a small water area for the ones still too young to go on big rides and life saving jackets for them everywhere. It's a good place to take your family to have fun and swim and get sunlight.

  • 4/5 Jeff F. 8 months ago on Google
    My family enjoyed our trip here. Here's a few thoughts. And I miss the original wet n wild off the strip that was closed down. Good: kids enjoyed rides, intertubes were available for free for wave pool/ lazy river,lots of lifeguards who were mostly very attentiveand though it seemed pretty busy we were able to find a few seats whevere we decided to move around. Could be better: had a couple rides down which made other lines longer, need more healthy options for food and drinks, mainly fried foods and soda in the sun aren't the best combo( maybe some fresh fruit stands and real juices) Overall a good trip. Make sure to drink plenty of water when being active in the sun. Come hydrated it gets warm

  • 3/5 Joshua C. 10 months ago on Google
    Pros: It was decent. Good variety of areas to explore with your kids. Decent food choices even if the shave ice stand was not open. Good amount of shaded areas. Daughters loved it way more than my wife and myself did. Cons: Most of the rides are older than most of the staff which consisted mostly of highschool kids. $10 for parking and $10 for each drink seemed a tad steep. Drinks had little to no flavor, mostly ice. Beware the lazy river, smelled like a puddle of urine and bacteria.

  • 2/5 JoAnna B. 3 years ago on Google
    We rented a chair cabana and that was the best part of the visit. Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, the slides were run so inefficiently that it was more than an hour wait (even at half capacity). Sometimes it was longer than 3 minutes between any tubes coming down the group of 4 slides. I was told it was slow due to social distancing requirements, but getting people in tubes and into an empty pool faster than once every 3 minutes would improve the time people were standing next to each other in line.

    Nice water park, kids loved it! Best part was the SHADE when standing in line for the rafts & the stairs.....YES the stairs, very easy to climb up. Unlike at Wet N Wild, their stairs are extremely steep. Climbing up steep flights of stairs really sucked bigtime! I now know which water park ill be purchasing my season passes from.

  • 5/5 Amber T. 3 years ago on Google
    The family had a blast! We rented lounge chairs and the service was incredible. The lifeguards were making sure everyone was social distancing. My daughter left her AirPods in the safe and Brooke was kind enough to retrieve them and hold them until we can come get them. The management is doing a fantastic job!

  • 4/5 Y O. 3 years ago on Google
    It's pretty good! But in the water you can't really wear mask and it's impossible to keep 6 feet. If you care about that maybe it's not the place to go. Overall it's still fun to play with water.

    It was very fun to enjoy I didn't experience any of the rides but they have a little place for younger children. They also have a nice wave pool that every few minutes waves will come then stop so you can relax in it too. Lazy River is amazing.
